thanks to boss who didnt realised that today was mooncake fest i had a meeting like in the evening. came down in cabbie and silly cab uncle no change. Haha.tried nets, credit card, all cannot work, i angry le. cos i thot the meeting was at 7 and i was gonna be late. ahha. Fortunately amit came to my rescue. Haha, sounds like superman. Thank You! Then dips say next time he no change ask him to wait outside tiill the meter turned 50 bucks. Prob just in time to drive mi back! ahha. got left over tmr drive mi to mrt.

 

Anyways, the meeting was at 730 so i had some time and went up to see edel mix and match float, which consists of phoenix, half a fire, and other interesting components. Haha. Cant wait to see the final product, except that i cant help cos i m totally bz! Meetin was like a training session, rather relaxed.  Had pizza hut instead of mooncake. Sad. But went to meet dips after work and was happie again. *Hugs* Bumped into merina and frens like of all places, outram park. And she kindly donated her lantern to mi and that made a very very happy chewy! haha...well i was so deprived of a mooncake fest celebration. Dips walked mi home through the park and i was hoping that it would be as dark as possible  so as to emphasize my lantern. It was midnight, the candle burnt out, and i was once again near my blk already. back to reality. tmr still got work v.early. A beautiful Cindrella story. Only thing missing was the dance with the prince.

Cut my hair today. felt light. Shoulder length. ahha. think i look like a school girl. nevermind, i m supposed to be what. haha.cos i m using the student discount voucher, courtesy of dips. Who wan cut hair from reds on weekdays pls tell mi too. Got like a couple more which i cant use all la. else will be like 1K in total! Just on hair!? wow. haha.

 

Anyway, hopefully all the bad luck is cut away with my hair. Hoping to start afresh again with all that shit happening last week. Met up with miaomei and kailing for dinner at manhatthan fish mkt. Had a ear infection but still eating seafood. Oh dear. But poor kailing cannot eat seafood any other time cos desmond hates seafood. Then dips must be really most wonderful cos whatever that is my fav became his fav too! Like cheese and fish! Well certain food like jap food and yoghurt are strictly no no.

 

So back to the dinner at the fish market. We ordered seafood platter for 2, ans as usual, 3 of us cannot finish! People seemed surprised when i say i have like 4 days of off day this week. Like sooo good. haha..yeah, it seemed too good to be true yeah. 

 

What good:

1) Live performance of flaming prawns. (ouch to my poor relatives)

2) Yummy prawns cos they are directly flamed and smell super seafoody!

3) the calamari are more chewable, not like those at fish and co's which can be a little hard to chew.

4) Fish is cooked just right.

 

What fish and co was better at

1) raisin butter rice!

2) mussels with the shell. prefer those to the fried kind at manhanttan.

3) they had more prawns and bigger ones as well.

4) more variety of drinks.

5) the garlic chilli which i m so addicted to which can give mi bad breath for days cos of the unmentionable amt i take.

6) lastly, one of my very first dates with dips was at fish and co, haha..Manhattan fish mkt cannot beat such good memories....awww

 

So..in the end, fish n co wins! But in the end, it is always the company that matters, so nice to catch up with old uni frens, from tshirt and jeans days to officey wear! except mi cos i came from home!

 

Once merina tapped me on the mrt, and i actually had to stare hard for a moment to fig out who is that. Merina leh! haha. how people change. I know i have changed too.

********* *********

 

People say that my job v.good. got alot of freedom. Either 3 or 4 days off per week. Seems too good to be true yeah. Obiviously cant be true. *unleash complain mode*

 

Sometimes on the surface is one thing, actual is another.

 

my colleague, the person who always say he is gg to divorce already if he keeps covering my shift, is down with of all mother illness....chicken pox. Now gotta come back on off days to cover his shift till he recovers. Last min notice. sadz. 

 

faint. now my turn to say, "mi gg to break up already la, if u dont depox urself soon!" 

 

it is pretty unfair comparison actually, considering that his is a marriage, and mine is a r/s. He has to cover shift for 1 mth plus and mine is like 2 weeks max. but well....i m not coping well.

 

If i were given a choice, i rather have not dragged anyone into this unpredictable lifestyle of mine. Why is it so freaking difficult to juggle? last week was well not too good, just as when i was trying to make up for things this week, the spotted animal have to come and disturb. i dont know how to assure u, i m already at wits' end. I dunno how much more the rubber band can stretch, but i know smhow the limit is near. Just one more straw, might be all that it takes. I dunno how the rest do it. I dunno how married pple do it. I dunno how married pple with kids do it. juggle. I thot women are suppose to be good at juggling many things. I m emotionally affected becos u are.

 

I know we can t make any future plans to go out cos i m the limiting factor.
I know it sucks to be rejected time and time again.

I cant always be there whenever u needed mi most.

 

but pls hang on for now, cos i promise things ll improve.

 

today i went back to nus for the 1st time this sem and the arts canteen is really so nice. Went to eat at the burger king with roops and dips, and i really had it my way. cos i wanna eat the mushrooms swiss but dun wan beef. so in the end had a swissy fishy mushy burger. heh! happy, best of all, nus students get 20% off, so that's really great. There is lerk thai and olio cafe too. So nice. Y all the nice things appear after i leave? hmm.hahah 

 

Work today was less stressful cos dont have to go for the afternoon meeting! haha.And the shift was pretty alrights, really much lesser issues too. Y is my shift so stressful? hmm.

 

Tmr is my free day! happie. I think i m going for a swim! and perharps some shopping when it is not so crowded. Still comtemplating what shld i do with the messy mop above my head. is it time i chop off? Muz get a style that doesnt go out of style with a shower cap on the whole day! And there is this thing about haircut where it looks really nice out of salon but once u wash it is back to normal curly wurly. ahaha.

 

Oh yeah, i had a most apt pressie from michie witchie last sunday. she made a teeshirt that says 'i love soft fries'. And the color takes after that of mac! oh man. it is the onli one in the whooole wideee wooorld. And onli for mi! the fries squeezer. had a great meal at popeye's and the biscuit is still the same great taste!plus the yummy mashed potato is NOT made from chicken fats.

 

Hmm...mi thinking of taking a short holiday somewhere near, after mich tempted mi to a bangkok trip with her goodie lobang but all 4 our us cannot find a common 3 days! mi work on wed to sat, dips has skool and mike has to go catch wallabies soon. so sadz. Bintan sounds good. Bananannanana boat! or i think sentosa is good too. i just need an esc, esp cos end of the mth marks smthg really special. Special special. *smiles*
