Friday, February 11, 2005 Was feeling really tired today and decided to skip my lecture. Making a one hour+ trip to Jurong and back just to listen to my lecturer read out stuff which are already in the notes is just plain dumb. I can read the notes on my own, thank you very much. About 5+, i bathed and changed coz i'd be having dinner with my family @ Suntec. Went downstairs to my house's living room and realised that the only set of house keys for the front door(which is for common usage) werent in their usual location. So i called out for my maid who was in the backyard. "Wawi!!! Wawi!! Hey, do you know where the house keys are?" *no response* Looked around a little more and found the keys on the floor near the stairs, Mum must have thrown the keys back into the house through the front door so that we could use it to unlock ourselves and get out. Used the keys to unlock and lock the front door once i got out. Called for my maid again this time cause i wanted to hand over the keys to her instead of mimic-ing my mom and just tossing them in through the front door, but to no avail again. Was running short of time, so just tossed the keys into the living room hall as far in as possible (to prevent intruders from breaking in by hooking out the keys). Then i started slipping on my shoes... "CHRIS!!! CHRISSS!!! CHRISSS!!!" Oh, thats just my blur maid from the backyard... I shouted back, telling her that i'd thrown the keys into the living room. "NONONNONOO!! Me locked outside!!" Oh boy, my maid just locked herself outside on the other side of the house, in the backyard, and she wanted me to open up the backyard door for her. Didnt help that my house keys were IN THE FREAKING DAMN LIVING ROOM. Perfect timing.. Had to go over to my neighbour's place, very embarrassingly tell him of what happened, managed to borrow a really looooonnnnnggg bamboo stick, and try to fish the keys from my living room through the front door. "..so just tossed the keys into the living room hall as far in as possible (to prevent intruders from breaking in by hooking out the keys)..." Why did i have to try to be such a genius earlier on -__-, after 5 minutes and sweating and stretching.. finally managed to get the keys and... get myself late for the appointment. Someone get me a new maid, PLEASEEEEEE ???!!!!!! skarekrow24 posted at 11:48:00 PM |

Thursday, February 10, 2005 I've been on a really short fuse as of late, basically any small matters that irritate me slightly will get me to blow my top off. Have no idea why I'm like this, since most matters in my life are going reasonably well, except perhaps.. some stuff... So I extend my apologies to anyone I may have offended or upset with my irrational and uncalled for behaviour. On to 'happier' stuff, Chinese New Year Day 1 was really really hectic as usual, and that it was a hot and humid day didn't make things any better. CNY visiting stretched from 10 am right till about after midnight! Well not that i'm really surprised since i do this every time CNY comes about. Many of you may envy me for all the red packets i get throughout the day, but trust me on this, all the stairclimbing, getting force fed CNY goodies and making up lame conversational topics and listening to the same "Wow you're so grown up" crap all day at every single location isn't worth the $2 red packets. Well the 2-hour special season finale of Amazing Race 6 was shown on Channel 5 today, so here's a peek at my own Amazing Race itinerary today: 1. Set off from home about 10+ to an uncle's place at Shunfu Road 2. Back home at Upper Paya Lebar. 3. GrandAunt's place at Bishan 4. GrandUncle's place at Telok Blangah 5. GrandUncle's place at Redhill 6. Uncle's place at Bukit Purmei 7. Grandma's placeTiong Bahru 8. Back home 9. GrandAunt's place at Bukit Batok 10. Cousin's place at Bukit Panjang 11. Aunt's place at Clementi 12. Aunt's place at Clementi 13. Reach Home half-dead at 1 am. Wait.. there's still 'good' news.. there are MORE places to cover tomorrow.. Anyway.. while i was at my cousin's place at Bukit Panjang, received my a call from my friend telling me about that the father of a friend i was pretty close to in the army has passed away. Can imagine his pain and sorrow.. and that it happens so close to CNY definitely makes things worse for him. Haven't talked to him yet, but hope he'll pull through this. Time for us to reflect and use this occasion to cherish the people around us much much more. skarekrow24 posted at 1:58:00 AM |
