(super duper backdated post) ok i always wanted to write about stuff that happened but i dont have the discipline to..forgive me! i'll try to get back to it slowly

anyway the craziest thing happened last month. it was my aunt's birthday and i took leave to go to jb to celebrate with her. we were discussing dates and when we finalized the date she was telling me that ciq (tuas side) cannot pickup so i had to take a bus out to somewhere then she will drive over and pick me. i said no need as i managed to book a train and i can grab from there. i even sent her itinerary (below) and my uncle (her brother) who was also heading there was saying so lucky i managed to book seats at last minute.

the actual day came and i queued for the train check in at woodlands. when it was my turn at the gantry the officer scanned my passport and the system showed error. so he asked me to show my ticket and i showed him this itinerary. he verified the passport number on the itinerary and let me in. i didnt think much of it as i thought it was just normal system syncing error until...

the return trip.

so again the system showed error when i scanned my passport at the gantry. similarly the officer asked to see my ticket and i pulled out this screenshot again. but he went further to ask me for my ticket proof. i told him i experienced error when coming in also but what im showing is my ticket proof. he said no and probed further to ask me to check my email/check the ktm website for my ticket and i obeyed. but i kept searching my email and i logged into the website and there wasnt any proof i booked the seats? i wanted to argue with him that i boarded at woodlands by showing this screenshot and he kept saying no, i had to leave and go to the manual counter and i was starting to get a bit angry.

i didnt give up and even went to my bank app to check cos i remembered i used googlepay to pay for the tickets but also i couldnt find anything?? 

TURNS OUT I DIDNT EVEN BUY THE TICKETS AT ALL?!?! 

it's damn puzzling till date i have no idea how this screenshot came about. did i just screenshot and not pay anything? how did i have the memory that i have paid and how did i not notice that i didnt have the actual ticket sent to me via email or sth?

anyway i didnt have time to be confused, i quickly apologized and left the queue to rush to the manual counter. thankfully e-gates are a thing now so manual counters are mostly clear (lowkey upset that i still cant use it though!!! >.<) but this thing still baffles me today! (probably just getting old and my memory is failing me haha)
