the award for the world's greatest moron goes to....?.

Just before my wife left for her trip she reminded me to pick up Reuben my elder son from the airport on saturday 4th of july, which is today.
so this morning I headed for the airport. I purposly left a few minutes late to allow him to checked out and by the time i reached there i do not have to wait too long.
when reached there i did not see him at the arrival area, so i called him and asked if he had landed. A rather surprised voice on the other end responded that he was still in kulai and his flight was only in the evening. I was so confident I had read the time correctly on the schedule and so I told him "well you just missed your flight!" He replied no Dad my flight is in the evening. what? you mean to say I came all the way for nothing!?? After counter checking his faxed copy schedule which my wife had earlier faxed to him, he confirm his flight was indeed in the evening. guess who goofed?? talk about being dumb. how could I make such a silly mistake. Before going back I make a stop at my mum's favourite coffee shop to have my chicken ball rice. My mum as usual was there and after my meal, sent her home.
when i got home I post that incident on my status and two comment came in after that
which I would like to share here:-
"Cheer up uncle Johnny...It's good to go out and smell the roses once in a while...(literally speaking, of cos), enjoy the sunshine..."
the other one really comfort me:-
"if u think u are the only one - try again!"
It's nice to know I am not the only one capable of such mistake.LOL
Lesson to be learnt here. always recheck your schedule. usually I will call my son to reconfirm is flight details, but this time I overlooked(over confident I guess)
so it cost me a futile trip, missed out my other programes. I had planned to attend the prayer meeting this morning(honest at 7.30 am because I thought the flight was in the morning at 8.10am i had to skipped that. also I was suppose to go to IOI mall for my RMP at the gym .that too had to be cancelled due to my mixed up.
so it was an expensive mistake.
