and you can print it out also.

I rushed to the bathroom to shower and brush
my teeth. I dressed up and picked my
remaining credentials, some other things. And
by 6:08, I'm done and ready. By this time,
segun was busy downloading my credentials
from my mail. We both walked out and I
locked the door. He followed me to the taxi
and we boarded the taxi together, he showed
me how to access my contacts from my email
and behold, all my phone contacts was backed
up on my phone. I checked for my uncle's
number and dialled it.
ME: hi sir
UNCLE: hi, who is this?
ME: onihaxy sir
UNCLE: what happened to your line ?
ME: my phone was stolen sir, so a friend
borrowed me his phone.
UnCLE: anyways, where are you?
ME: at the park.
UNCLE: by this time?. I expected you to be
almost here by now, this is 7:05am
ME: I will soon be there sir. Akure to Ado is
just 45minutes sir.
UNcLE: ok, safe journey
ME: thanks sir **hanged up****
Segun and I arrived at the park by 7:12am, he
gave me the phone and promised to keep
intouch and also ensure to tell the guy to
scan and send the stuffs to me. Segun
returned home and I sought the service of the
food sellers at the park to fill my tummy
before the bus was filled up. At about 7:35,
the bus was filled up and set to move.
I was in the bus and I downloaded all the files
into the memory card. The phone battery was
at 55% and segun didn't give me his charger.
Oppps!!!!, I even forgot to collect the card
reader from him.
