Run to Orbit - But miss the turn

3rd Sept 2005 - Morning

• Reported at the Subang Royal Malaysian Air-Force on time for the Astronaut Run.
• 7:35am - Run started!  Mohd Azam leading the pack after the first corner.  I was still 30-40th placing.  Right after those turnings and heading to the long straight way, I managed to pass thru all the other participants and behind the 1st runner.  From there, I stayed at that position till the end of the race.  I am 2nd overall in the run clocked 15Min 18sec.
• 9:00am - Received map to Serdang Hospital for medical check-up (exact map recevied) - http://www.i-putra.com.my/minisites/maptoputrajaya.htm

3rd Sept 2005 - Afternoon

• 12:00pm - On the way to Serdang Hospital from Cheras. (should have adequate time limit to reach there) Most of the people wil be confident enough to reach Serdang Hospital according to the map above.
• When i pass-ed by UPM, there is no sign-board leading to Serdang Hospital, I stopped by the road-side fruit stall for direction. Unfortunately, he mis-directed me to Seri-Serdang!  Was very very worry as time is already 12:30pm.  I stopped again and ask direction from a Malay motorcyclist.  This time, i got the clear way to it.
• When i return back to the traffic light junction that i turn-en in towards UPM, I'm confident to be at the hospital on time.
• A building with word "Hospital Serdang" is in-sight!  It is in my right hand side.  There isn't any sign board directing to the Hospital Serdang when i reached a road branches, so I just drove ahead towards Putrajaya. 
  
• Shit!!!  i realised i over-shoted the junction!!!  Time was 12:45pm,  I can't find any U-turn point or overhead bridge along the way until i took a huge big round around Putrajaya.  Finally, i got the u-turn and back to the way to the hospital.
• 1:05pm or so
• Was very excited as I was late.  I ran from car-park towards the registration counters.
• Shit!   gate was closed, nobody there!  The guard not allowed me to enter.  Luckily, this kind-hearted guard directed me to the front entrance and went into the auditorium.
• Yes...  the presentation just started........  I asked around the other candidates what they have done before this..  it was just report the official and get the form to filled-in.  Some of them are still filling in the form while the official is giving some presentation in the auditorium.
  
• 1:30pm - show over. 
  
• I ran down to the official and pleaded sorry because i'm late and all the explainations.
• The official and a doctor were helpless too. No tolerance given, they just said i'm late.  I was sooooooo said that time. I keep explaining about the situation that i faced, they just said NO.
• They commented that this is part of the test, I'm not dis-organsied, I should have come 1 night ealier to do the scouting if i dunno the way.   If i'm allowed to register after 1pm, they are breaking the rules.   they even tell me to treat this as a lesson!
• Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!    What are they talking about?

These things are not a 1 day, week, month or year of program.  it could be once in a lifetime.  Me as a sport man, i will receive the FACT OF FAILURE.  I will get out if my physical fitness or medical does not meet the requirements.  Failed because of the situation above, is totally unacceptable! Please advise me what would you do if you are in my situation.
