For some reasons, I wasnt abt to go home early tonight (yea, u can say I'm sulking!)...the moment I came to office I checked out which movie released today. "Aap Ki Khathir" (Akshaye Khanna, Priyanka Chopra)...kewl...I shall go for this movie.
Arnd 4pm, I checked the papers agn to see the show timing & decide wat time to leave office...My eyes almost popped-out...the movie's releasing tomoro, not today!!! Lucky I didnt end up making a wasted trip to Shaw!! Shortly after, Maslin sms-ed me saying she's bored & asked if I wanna "lepak" @ Starbucks or somewhere after work. Wow...kewl...this is the 1st time she's doing me a gr8 favour in return for all the favours I've done for her all these yrs!! Remember, I wasnt abt to go home wif nothing to do or nowhere to go yet...& God sent me a solution...via a free company!! Oh btw, Maslin juz came back from a 4-day official trip to Taipei. Life's been very peaceful since Sun till Thurs (she's back & so is the beep on my mobile!)...hehehe...yeah...we're gr8 quibbling-buddies...She knows me too well, thus enjoys irritating the shit outta me...I know her too well, thus enjoy being nasty to her!! Always at loggerheads wif each other but at the end of the day, we know we've no hard feelings for each other, all in gd humour (both has absolutely nothing btr to do in life!)!
Anyways...yea...Starbucks...I'm not into Starbucks, but bcoz the last time we "lepak" b4 she left for Taipei...she already gave in & had Coffee Bean, I didnt wanna dictate Coffee Bean agn...so I suggested East Coast since I needed the beach for peace of mind. I was planning to leave office arnd 6.30pm, fetch her & head to East Coast...but something detrimentally urgent came abt at the last min (as usual!!).
I had to draft a very urgent sensitive email which must be sent b4 I go off. My Snr Mgr left just when I finished drafting it. I called her to ask if I shld wait for her to see on Mon or send it...she trusted my work so she told me to go ahead & send. Wow...that's really heavy responsibility considering it's a sensitive email (a reply to a complainant which we initially said it wasnt the airport shop's fault but later discovered that it was indeed the airport shop's fault! Fish!). I was working wif the airport shop operator to synchronise the reply. Bcoz of that, some things happened which delayed me (as though I wanst distracted enuf by the noisiness of the remaining mgrs in the office!) & I had to keep changing this particular para of my email. Shit...it's 6.40pm!! Told Maslin to do her maghrib 1st & will fetch her arnd 7.20pm since I estimated I'll be done in 20 mins (7pm). Guess what...more things happened & I got further delayed. Oh btw, there's this 1 mgr in my office - S.O. - who has a v. irritating habit of shrieking at every single thing (so immature, no office etiquette!)...I've told her off so many times previously. So S.O. has been shrieking since the last 1/2 hr & I just cant concentrate wif my writing (note: I'm a perfectionist). By 7.10pm...situation in office got really bad. S.O. gave 1 shriek, while chatting wif 2 other mgrs, that I just lost my cool "Can u pls shuddup!! Ppl r still working here!!!" There was silence for a few seconds, I cld even hear my heartbeat!! I hate my luck!! I nvr get delayed when I've no appts...but everytime I make a commitment, I'll get delayed. I immediately sms-ed Maslin to warn her not to come down 1st as I'm delayed & still in office. When she sms-ed to ask where I'll be fetching her, I tol her what's going on & I was really touched to tears when she sms-ed me "Be Kool...just msg me when u're ready to leave". Here I'm always the one who keep her waiting whenever we make plans to meet up...and yet she's telling me to cool down. I had imagined that she'll go "Alaa...u always like that ah...everytime I'm ready u tell me u're delayed" or something to that effect. I cooled down & wallah...in 10mins, I clicked send & printed the email. The moment I took the print out, immediately I saw a flaw. Inconveniece (missing 'n'). Damn!!! I was really pissed wif S.O. So immature...nvr tot there can be a mgr like that! I immediately left office (that was arnd 7.35pm) & picked Maslin up @ 7.55pm.
So many things went on my mind during that 20mins journey...just as I exit PIE & hit Tampines...I realised I was crying. I was shocked...what the hell...shit...I tried to clear my mind from all my grievances/hatred/anger...calmed myself successfully...as I passed Tampines Stadium...guess what happened? I realised I was crying agn!! Damn!! What's wrong wif me!! I forced myself to calm down coz in less than 2 mins, Maslin's gonna come into the car...I wasnt abt to show her that I was crying. Anyways, the night b4, she did tell me the night b4 that she cant get anything nice or suitable for me...to which I tol her nvr to obligate herself to buy things for me wen traveling, I dont like, just go & come back safely is enuf for me. The moment she entered my car, she pass me a small paper bag, a souvenir she got for me. I was like "What's this?!?! Didnt u say there was nothing u cld get for me...u shldnt hav!!" After reacting to that...I sort of calmed down...I was silent throughout my drive to East Coast...let her do the talking (irritating story abt her travel partner anyways!). We reached East Coast arnd 8.15pm wif a hard time trying to find an empty parking lot!! Got it after circling the carpark for 5 mins!!
After that, we had a harder time finding an empty seat at the food court. Got one eventually. What I like abt the place now is it's officially "no smoking" area now. Went to order my Chicken Roti John which I had previously when I was wif her also. But this time I think I got it from the wrong stall...I think I bought it from an Indian stall the last time (craving for Chicken Murtabak but they ran out of Murtabak & suggested Chicken Roti John...which I tried & luved it! This time, I got confused, I bought it from a malay stall. They cheated...they used meat of chicken satay!! I hate satay!! So the food sux!!
An hr later, we went back to the car to add on another 1hr coupon coz I go to the beach to relax my mind. On the way to my car I was admiring this Peugeot car as the driver was parking...I love this car - cute design - resembles a toy car. To top it up...it's a very nice green. When Maslin saw the green, she freaked!! On the way to the beach...we both were going crazy over the car. To a pt, despite a parking attendant issuing summons 3-4 cars away,
I was bz snapping pics of the Peugeot on my mobile!!! In the middle of the carpark...who cares if I get run down by a car...wif the turbulence going on inside me @ that moment, I'm dying to die anyway!!
Spent another hr by the beach...which was the best part of the "lepak" session...coz we really went crazeee like nvr b4!! Me irritating her wif my wish to own Abhishek, she teasing me "Abhishek gotta be blind for that to happen" & she imitating blind Kajol in "Fanaa" & then Rani in "Black". Hillarious!!! 10.30pm she told me her Mom had asked her to buy french loaf...Well done! "Where on earth r we gonna get french loaf @ 11pm?!?" On top of that, she was still craving for Ice-Blended...so I made sure whatever we needed to do tonight, we fulfill it since t.g.i.f. Went to Simei Eastpt, but Starbucks has closed. Headed to Tamp Mall, Starbucks closed also (so was Delifrance)...so she got her Ice-Blended from Coffee Bean instead. She gav me $10 as her petrol share for the nite's outing!! Chhoo chhwweet...I dont reject such sweet gestures u know! Hehe. She's confident there's a 24hr Delifrance @ Blk 300+, so yeah...I've gotten petrol share..."at your service Ma'am"...I drove her there (topped-up my almost empty fuel tank along the way)...and wallah...got the baguette!! Kewl!! All's well that ends well...reached home past 12mn!!
I came in, Mom was sleeping but got awakened when I opened the door. She groggily looked @ her clock & then went "What time is it...3am?!" I was like "Huh?! 12.15 laa" & she continue wif her sleep. R u outta ur mind Mom...Chill Mom, I've not reached that insane stage yet, to come home @ 3am...well, unless u want me to (heehee)!!
I opened the souvenir Maslin gave me. Omigawd!!! The blue brooch is soooo pretty & she said there was nothing suitable to get me!?! This gal eh!!! That's Maslin...my quibbling-buddy who's begging me not to die yet coz she wont have a fren-to-irritate anymore. Wat a fren I've got!!
