Spoilt watch spoils Sunday morning
Singapore - No thanks to a faulty Swatch watch and a dead phone battery, this writer has been forced to return home from the beach an entire hour earlier because his watch showed the time to be an hour faster than in reality. As a result, his trip there was just short of a complete waste of fuel as he had only intended to spend 2 hours there, inclusive of travel time. The only saving grace was the driving practice it provided. When contacted, he had this to say: "Yes, I'm furious. I've heard of watches getting slower when they spoil or the battery goes weak, but faster?! That is absurd." And so in all absurdity, this post is written as a pseudo article.
Editor's note: Upon subsequent investigation, it was discovered that the watch had gone 11 hours slower, but the above is still published to document the utter irritation and the change of emotions from disappointment to bewilderment and irritation.
