I woke up this morning to have KL tell me that I elbowed his nose last night and that his nose bled. Hehee… ooopsie!
Well, serve him right. He have been making me the butt of all jokes coz we have a guest staying with us. Honestly, I don’t mind being the clown coz our guest is our long time friend’s baby sister. But, he was grouchy the whole of yesterday and gave me no loving at all.
I had a nightmare last night/this morning.
KL and I were trying to gain entry to this weird happening place. I flashed my wedding band and said, “We are married. See?” The huge bouncer with the dark sunglasses, pointed at KL and barked, “No! That’s not your wedding band!”
KL got angry and yelled, “This is my wedding band!!”
The rude bouncer then wrestled with KL’s finger and pulled the ring out and showed it to me. It’s not his wedding band! It’s not the same design and the engraving inside although had my name, it was not the same font.
At that moment, another huge bouncer (identical twins?) came out, grabbed me by my arm and dragged me thru the velvet ropes, leaving KL standing at the same spot shocked.
I remember that I stood on the other side, separated by the velvet ropes, shocked with the sudden change of events. Next I remembered, kicking, screaming and crying into the dark place and I last saw KL still negotiating with the first bouncer to be with me. Then I probably woke up at this point.
On my way to work this morning, I thought about my dream/nightmare. Could be that I have been suppressing the feelings about the loss of ring affect me so much that it just escalated? Or could it be that my conscious mind is showing me what would happen when I die because KL is not Christian and only I’m allowed into heaven?
Today, we went to Tiffany’s but it was closed due to public holiday. KL is still very upset and angry with himself. I brought him out for beer at the Belgium Beer Cafe trying to cheer him up. I hope it worked.
I had the Belle-Vue Kriek. It’s made of Cherries!! Yums!! Love it!
KL had the Leffe (both the Blonde and Brune). The Blonde is more potent than the Brune, maybe because it is the Belgian’s traditional and original abbey beer. It is said that tthe traditions and recipes brewing it were observed closely. Whatever that means. Hahaa…
The Brune is made of dark malt which gives it an after taste of coffee. Both are quite tasty.
I wanna bring daddy here when he comes. He appreciates a good beer. I miss Daddy!!
We went to Gippsland - Venus Bay. It was gorgeous on Saturday but we didn’t swim or tan. Instead, we went exploring and decided to drive home to save money instead. So that night, we had gourmet pizza and went home to sleep. Sunday morning, we went for a great brekkie and headed back there again.
The sun was hot but we had SPF50. KL bought a boogie board and tried body boarding. While, I laid in the sand with my sunnies and magazine. KL came running to the shore. Breathless he muttered these words - “I lost my wedding band.”
He then rushed back to the sea diving in and out. Needle in a haystack. We’ve spoken about this before - should anyone of us loses our wedding band, we would just replace it. Because it’s material and it doesn’t represent our love. Our lives and love for each other more important. So I told him, we’ll just get a replacement the next day and carry on.
Since we lost his wedding band in Venus Bay, do you think that Venus don’t like married man in her waters? Okay, I’m full of crap!
Its the long weekend. Monday is Labour Day in KoalaLand. For what it’s worth, I’m already employed and i truly deserve this break. Hahaa…
Anyway, KL and me are going away for the weekend. We don’t know where. Maybe Gippsland area. Not sure. We’re going to drive down the coastal area and try to look for accommodation for a night or two. Since we didn’t make any reservations, it might be hard to get any, so we don’t plan to drive far coz in any case, we’ll be able to make it back to sleep.
Again, I think I over packed for 2 nights trip which includes 2 sets of bikinis. Hahaa… Women!
Okay, I’m not normally that bling (honest!), but I really like this Bvlgari Special Flower Edition sunnies. But seriously, even if its a gift, I still think it’s too flashy for me. Honest!
Help! I love my blings!! On my fingers, ears, neck, wrists but now on my sunglasses?? What have become of me?
Today is a bad day at work. Email screw up. People screw up. Accounts screw up. Bank screw up. Everything all screw up. But today, I had a few laughs with my colleague in our little office room. Can’t wait till the long weekend comes. Thank goodness it’s friday tomorrow. *wondering if I should try to do station of the cross here. Hmm…
Just got my salary after 3 weeks of working. I’m supposed to be paid fortnightly but somehow the computer system screw up and I didn’t get paid on my first week of work.
Qns: Would you get Kerry Pecker to submit his resume? I don’t think so.
Yesterday, at work, I couldn’t stop sneezing. My nose was drippy - if I were to look down onto my toes, watery mucus would fall onto my shoes.
By lunch time, I was feeling oozy and desperately needed medication and just to lie down. I think I’m probably allergic to my colleague’s perfume or just my immune system a bit down coz period coming. Either way, I felt shit. If I was still working in my previous company, I would just tell my boss that I’m going home to rest. But it was only my 3rd week at this stupid corporate place where everything and everyone has to be accounted for. But staying in the office is so unproductive and I feel sorry for my colleague who shares her office with me.
Anyway, I don’t know how I made it home, showered and ate dinner. I took medication and fell asleep by 8pm only to wake up this morning about 7.30am. Yesh, 11 hours of sleep. Well done! For your information, my record was 16hours of sleep when I was younger.
KL was great. He cooked, washed and even made my lunch for me today. I’m glad he is taking responsibility when I’m an invalid yesterday. I’m much better today already, but I wish I was online for GL last night coz it seemed like she had a tough day at home last night. It’s been hard for her with all the sudden changes in her life happening so quickly. But we all know it’s for the good. I’m here for you babe.
Today, I dreamt I work up at 10am. Picked up the telephone to call my manager. Manager said that they were worried and wondered where I was. I obviously lied saying that I had to send my mum to the hospital, blah blah… and then…. The alarm clock rang. I yelled, “FUCK!” Shit! Cat out of the bag!
Today, is the first time I reach office exactly at 8.45am, took exactly 1hour for lunch and left office at exactly 5.15pm. Usually I reach office earlier, take 1/2 hour lunch and leave after 5.30pm.
Today, CT asked me out for lunch. No one asked me out for lunch since working. Coz I packed lunch and also they tapao in sandwich. BORING!!!
Today, while working, I started worrying that I might not make much friends because there is only the 3 of us in my department. The girls outside seemed to be already in their clique. Plus, I wearing my wedding band - most people would assume I’m boring and have to rush home to be with family/husband. *Pui!
Today, KL dropped the frying pan’s glass lid on the floor. The broken glasses cut my left leg, I started bleeding as if I shaved and nicked myself. Blood dripping on the floor because one of the cut was exactly at my vein (can see the blue vein). It was damn drama. Incidentally, I have the thinnest skin every on the planet of the earth. KL and my family can vouch for me. Anyway, I realised KL reacts very badly in situation like this. He tends to panic. Then again, I am accident prone and so I’m experience in situation like this so I was ordering him around with instuctions. Oh, after sweeping numerous times, vacuum numerous times and even mopping, I stepped on a triangle shaped glass bit. Instinctively, I tried to remove the glass from the bottom of my sole, but the sharp end pierced into my index finger. FUCK! I have 4 plaster on my leg, and 1 on my finger.
Just counted: 10 cuts/nicks on my left leg, 2 on my right leg and 1 on my left index finger.
I woke up at about 7am this morning. Thats coz I usually wake up about 10am in Koala Land. I called GL and BS to meet for brekkie. The plan was to wave goodbye to NL when she leaves for work in the morning. Hehee… BS was going to feign a MC to spend the day with me. GL was unemployed. I have the greatest friends.
Since BS was still at the clinic with his fake flu and GL needed time to get ready to get out, I wasted time lingering around at home and then mum followed me to the market. We saw that the queue at the gambling shop was really short, I took out $10 (Aunty Lily’s CNY angbao) to try my luck with the $10million draw - maybe I could buy our own home in Koala Land. So when I arrived for brekkie, GL and BS was already there. *Shites!
I ordered my favourite morning breakfast noodles with at least 5 items. Haha… Naturally, I couldn’t finish my food, so I gave my taiwan sausage and luncheon meat to BS, who was eating vegetarian beehoon. Hahaa.. Oh, during brekkie, mum came to join us (*roll eyes*).
After brekkie, we went back to BS’s place. I can’t remember why we needed to go there. The moment we entered, BS kept repeating, “Ignore Bailey…Ignore Bailey… Ignore bailey”, like a broken record. But GL and I still went to his pen and went all hysterical. We were suddenly talking in puppy language, I think I heard BS grumbling that he wanted to train the dog, but we just kind of ruin it. Hahaa… I realised I somehow developed an allergy sore on my upper lip and stuffy nose. I had to get to the pharamacy - I’m allergic to home. Last time also same thing.
So after a long time lazing at BS’s place, we decided to head to Suntec. No time already because GL needed to go to school to see the kids - results out today. I don’t understand why when it was nice and sunny, it didn’t occur to us to get out. It was raining cats and dogs when we went out.
We braved the pouring rain and made it to the bus stop only to have the bus “nearly” splash water at us. We board the bus and I took out tissue paper to clean my feet. GL went, “Ewww… we’re in public!” I ignored her coz we were sitting at the back in a rather empty bus on a Friday weekday afternoon. Then she stick her shoeless feet towards me and said, “Nar! Help me clean.” What the fuck? We were laughing like a pack of hyenas when BS wiped his feet on GL’s pants. Ewww!!! Disgusting!!! Wah lau! Below is a picture of BS’s fat and practically hairless leg.
We got to Suntec, I got a little disorientated because it was lunch hour and there was a lot of people everywhere. I felt giddy and so we sat at Aunt Pretzels and ate ourselves silly while waiting for the pharmacist to come back so I can get my allergy medication. BS managed to buy a few business shirts, GL got herself a new pair of shoes and I got nothing. I wonder who was on a shopping mission. Kanasai!
As GL had to go off to the school, BS and me headed for Parkway Parade. That’s home based for us. Wow! Parkway has changed so much - so High Crass now! Anyway, I managed to buy a lot more stuff at Parkway and hang out with BS waiting for NL to finish work and GL to come back to meet us for dinner. I’m glad I managed to spend some decent quality time with my other favourite man of my life. We had Kaya Roti and Teh Peng, talked about how I should stop worrying about dad and that I should just put my time and energy on my chosen path in Koala Land instead of looking back.
That night, we had Sushi at Parkway - just like old times. Strangely, we didn’t eat as much as we did. I wonder if it’s because we are getting older or BS and me haven’t had our Kaya Roti digested yet.
Its cool now that BS and NL is living so near my place, we could share a cab back. I went back, called MT to ask her out although I was super exhausted. Luckily for me, her brother took the car and so we chatted on the fone for over 2hours - she fell asleep before me. Wah Lau. Then I telephone Aunty Anna and spoke to her on the fone for nearly 2hours. She spoke most of the time actually. I think I kind of fell asleep somehow.
Wednesday was Lent. My work officially ends at 5.15pm and mass is 5.30pm - about 4 blocks down. At 5.25pm, I was still in my manager’s office. *sigh. Luckily, I managed to run to church just in time for ashes on my forehead.
After consuming KFC on Monday, juicy steak on Tuesday, we began our “No Meat” diet for Lent. Besides eating Tuna sandwich for lunch everyday, I’ll STILL be eating Tuna sandwich for Lent. So far, dinners haven’t been a problem.
But, today, I had an official Business Luncheon at a fancy resturant. The meal is about $120 per head. They served chicken and didn’t ask for any vegetarian options. I didn’t wanna make it a big deal, so I ate it. GL said that if you go and tell everyone that you are not eating meat for Lent, then it defeats the purpose. I think I will have to do an extra day to repay.
*sigh…
Btw, today is Uncle Kenny and Aunty Anna’s wedding anniversary. I text them and Uncle Kenny replied, “Thanks. Busy now. Will let you know about our activities tonight.” Ewww… I really rather not know.
On the 6th Feb (Monday), I received a long awaited phone call from my manager telling me that I am officially offered the job. I told him that I wanna go back for a week, see my family and settle some business before I begin my employment. After calling KL and daddy telling them the good news, I called Uncle Law next to book my airtickets back. I was due to fly on the 9th Feb (Thurs) and back here on the 18th Feb (Sat) to start my work on the 20th Feb (Mon). Everything was in a rush and I kept my return a secret. Of coz, daddy, BS (&NL) and GL knew.
After a whole crap about helping a friend bring back her luggage back, I finally made it to the airport. It felt weird. I’m travelling alone back but yet I know my absence will be short. Maybe I was already “programmed” to be sad and teary at the airport if I’m travelling alone. KL seems rather amused but I reckon he was looking forward to some alone time.
I was sat next to an old couple during the flight and only after the meal that I went to the loo, I realised that the flight was rather empty. I asked the stewardess if I could change my seat to the empty window seat. I was contented and happy. You can see how empty the flight was. I stretched my legs on the empty 3 seater and fell asleep.
I landed in that familiar airport with 3 person waving at me - my parents and GL. I liked it this way - quiet and intimate without all that drama. Upon reaching home and changing into my shorts (the heat was killing me), GL and I went to the market to meet BS and NL.
Ahhh, my first meal was ‘horfun’. Yums but not the best I had. BS and NL took a long time to meet us because they brought along bailey. I found it rather “hairstand” when they kept referring to their puppy as their son?!?!
I went back to my old room and laid alone in the cold airconditioning wondering if KL misses me.
Work is exhausting and zapping up my energy fast. KL thinks its coz I had such a long break (10 mths of unemployment) and will take some time to re adjust back to waking up early. Yes, I am not a morning person. I walk like zombie to the bathroom, brush my teeth with my eyes closed and only open them when I put on my contacts. Even then, I rest my head on the headrest, eyes closed and mouth open while KL drive me to work.
My feet hurts with wearing court shoes that I get cramps often. I take off my shoes behind the desk. Manager came in my office today and asked me to come to his office coz he wanted to show me something. I had my toes tapping the space on the floor, desperately trying to locate my shoes with my bare feet. Hehee…
Was asked to go some formal luncheon thingy this friday. Its only my second week at work and I am getting so much exposure.
Nothing much happened at work so far except that I overheard my manager telling my colleague that he is happy that he employed me. We have been having lots of business lately and they claimed I brought in the luck. Made my day.
I will try to load the pics I took in SunnyLand chronologicaling my 9 days there. But cropping and editing the pics is a bitch.
