As always, my ex-school friends of mine will definitely make it a point to have a monthly meetup / gathering.
For some reason, this month we almost cancel the plan at the last minute. BUT we decide to continue on though more than half of them couldn't make it. Maybe this time round, the timing was not good enough as some of them either have other things to attend or outstation. We don't want to change to another date whereby is suit everyone...since this time round, in total we had changed the date thrice, trying to suit everyone but still couldn't find a perfect day.
So, it end up only 5 of us, I was assuming this time round, I wouldn't have to wait for long since the dinner was set a 7:30pm furthermore during this period of the month is "RAMADAN"; afternoon school are off earlier but yet I have a friend turn up almost 45 minutes late. Why so late? She don't need to fetch her children back from school not even tuition class but still she's late. I don't know why she takes so long, her office hour end at 5:30pm compare to mine, it ends at 6:00pm and I still manage to go home, take my shower and drive all the way to old town yet I was the first to arrived.
While, we were waiting for her, the waitress have already ask us for the food orders thrice and I feel so pissed off with my friend. Finally she arrived, we wanted to whack her nicely but before we couldn't even speak up, the waitress already shoot her nicely for us... hahahaha...off course the waitress darn not, she just being sarcastic on her words directing hinting to my friend, that she was extremely late, until we have order our 2nd drinks while waiting for her :p
Anyway, back to my question... Are U A Punctual Person?
As for me, I'm quite a punctual person and absolutely HATE to be kept waiting, specially if I'm ready to go somewhere. Showing up on time indicates your respect for other people. Therefore, punctuality to me is a great way to make a positive personal impact. Being late, not only meeting up with friends, even for office meetings, or worse yet missing deadlines could hurts or damage your image.
