It hurts.

lonely planet?

I notice there are more and more "travel & living" genre of show on tv recently. What is actually the purpose of these documentaries? To cater to an increasing number of travellers as flying become cheaper and more accessible? Or conversely, for the potato couch who never actually leave the comfort of their home and venture into the unknown.

Ah, maybe its just light entertainment for insomniacs like me.

Insomnic serial loving cynic

I have been trouble sleeping the last few weeks. Naps don't work anymore... sigh... I wonder if it had something to do with the late nights I spent watching Cantonese serials. I am so hooked. Not only to one... but I seem to be on the quest for another one and another one and another one after the previous one ends.... I overheard some aunties in the saloon today and discovered that I have covered all the serials that they were watching. Have I just fast forward my life by 10 years? What do I finally do when I hit 40? Walk my cat?

As for the cynic part, I was chided by Anthony twice today for passing out sarcastic negative discouraging and judgemental remarks in a nasty tone every time he tried to tell me his self-inducing problem. It was hard for me to be empathetic recently as I have been hearing his excuses for commiting the same mistake for the last six month. I am never a patient girl to start with.

CL2

We finally have a decent Chinese linguistic school here. I have attended my trial lesson last Tues and am looking forward to my next lesson. Mother in law is teasing me on how long I will persevere as the timing is hunger inducing - 6.30-8.30pm.

I wouldn't have believe it if anyone ever told me 16 years ago that I will go to a Chinese lesson willingly after I hit 30. I wouldn't even do it for free for my favourite Wu Lao Shi then, when she gave us remedials...

tick tock tick tock

I am still waiting for the Samsung mechanic that was supposed to be here at 11am this morning.

This is something that me & J can never get used to, and it never fails to boil our blood after this happen 100 times. These people never keep their appointments and never have the courtesy to give us a call if they 1) will be late, 2) will not be turning up.

This one had the audacity to tell J that his supervisor disallowed him to come?!?!?! what the %#$&^%@!!! When we asked to speak to his supervisor, he said the latter is in a meeting. Finally someone called, remade an appointment and tick tock tick tock, he is already 10 mins late.

I HATE THE TV REPAIRMEN, THE CABLE GUY, THE CURTAIN GUY, THE CAR SALES GIRL, THE CONTRACTOR, THE DESIGNER!!!!

I love the smell of clean laundry!

J has been in a foul mood since Monday. I think he is overhyped about everything in the shop. Running it, fixing the leak, firing a mechanic, blah blah blah.. but that's work isn't it. At times, I think he sweat the small stuffs unneccesarily. Dilated pupils, heighten toned voice, faster vowels, deep breathing... I told him he is too much of a whiner sometimes.

Maybe everyone is made of different ingredients. He always put his 100% into everything he does (neat, clean, well planned) and burns out quicker than I do. Yeah, yeah, I admit it. I just like to get things done and think while I talk, and do while I think and do while I talk. Ok, ok, I needed more turns to get some things right but I don't freak out that easily.

Look, I had to deal with checking payments, month end closing, saloon, niece & nephews birthday gifts and running to two banks today too. Without these, what do we do with all that time on our hands?!
