I hope everyone had a better weekend than me. It could have been worse I guess, but it was bad enuff for me. All thanks to one person, the king of cock-ups - Tubs. In fact, I hadn’t been in the mood to see him at all the entire week cos he has been kinda crabby and I don’t need someone to spoil my perfectly fine day. But let’s see how he behaves this upcoming week cos there’s only so much shit I’ll take.
Anyways, even though I went without any sleep at all on Friday, I was a very happy girl. Met Jes and Rach for lunch near Jes’s workplace cos Rach was on MC and she loved the chicken rice there so much she insisted that I had to try it. BUT I thought it tasted horrible. I think her pregnant-woman’s-weird-taste-bud-syndrome is at work. Time flies when you’re having fun cos not long after we had lunch, Jes had to go back to work.
So Rach and I headed to Bugis to run some errands and walk for abit but it didn’t take her long to hear XDL beckoning her. OMG. Haha. And that wasn’t even long after our lunch!!!! And so I sat there watching her eat while I had some drinks, and I swear she single-handedly cleared almost 2 trays of food and 2 portions of dessert. And when she was finally done, Jes had finished work and was coming down to look for us. Haha. After meeting Jes, we walked around abit before we headed down to ECP. Once again, yours truly was chauffer of the day. We went to the café where Jes and I went the last time and ordered a drink each, a mixed platter which was meant for probably 4 to 5 people, and another fish & chips. I was still feeling kinda sick from lunch and I could barely bring myself to eat anything else. And then you see Rach just going at the food. Damn hilarious stuff. It’s really a miracle to see her constantly hungry and eating non-stop. It’s a good thing though. Cos I think she really needs to put on a lot more weight as her tummy gets bigger or else she’s gonna have a hard time supporting the weight of her baby. Anyway, we had a fab time just enjoying each other’s company and soon Aunty Rachel was tired so I ended up driving myself back home before Rach took over her own car to send Jes home.
That was about when my great day ended. Haha.
I went back home to freshen up abit and then drove to tub’s place to pick him up. We had wanted to watch Horsemen for a long time oready and we decided we better catch it this weekend before it ends. So earlier in the day, I got him to book tickets cos my damn hp takes forever to load and being on the move constantly is a pain to get wireless connection. So after checking, he asked if I preferred the 11+pm show, or the 1+am show. So I said I’m fine with anything, just go with 11+pm lor. And then I got the most genius reply from him - Why not 1+am? ………………………… Erm, I dun even know what to say anymore.. Why ask me in the first place? Anyway, he went ahead to book the 1+am show. And when I reached his place around midnite or so, he said there still was a lot of time before the show started. So I suggested from meeting up with Alex, to buying a drink and sitting under the block etc. and in the end, he said he was very tired so he wanted to go back and take a short nap. I knew that was a bad idea from the start and I told him so but Mr Confident insisted it‘ll be fine. I knew it was a bad idea simply because when he sleeps, he’s dead to the world. Secondly, when I haven’t slept a wink the night before and barely any sleep for the other days, there’s a high chance of me falling asleep as well. Moreover, it’s not fun oways being his alarm clock, especially when it means that I go without any sleep just to wake him up on time. But being his stubborn self, off to bed he went, thinking setting alarm means nothing would go wrong. But what I expected happened. I jumped out of bed after dunno how long, woke him up for the time cos he doesn’t have a single clock in his room and my hp was in the car cos previously he was too lazy to go get it, and when he finally dragged himself to search for his hp which was somewhere under the bed, the time was about 2.30am. Bravo. Once again, I knew it. And once again, I told you so. I was so fucking pissed off and he wasn’t even sorry about being a cock-up. So I went down, glanced through the papers, and I told him that the only show with available timing which we want to watch is Angels and Demons at either 3.15am or 4am. And I told him specifically, if we can’t make it for the 3.15am show, just book the 4am show. And without even telling me, he booked the 3.15am show. I nearly stabbed him cos by the time he actually finished booking and shut off the computer etc, it was oready after 3am. And at that moment, I told myself if we were even 5minutes late for the show, I’ll walk off and go home on my own. He can’t enjoy the show on his own and make his own way back home. But lucky for him, the show wasn’t very punctual so we managed to make it before it started.
Some things are as simple as knowing yourself better and don’t cock-up when it’s gonna affect others. And also never risk cocking-up consecutively. And an apology or any sense of remorse helps too. And also, it’s really applaudable when you pretend nothing happened after that. Really gotta hand it to you. Wow.
Anyway, the saving grace was that I enjoyed the movie. The book blew me away, the movie didn’t at all, but I still enjoyed it.
Saturday wasn’t off to too good a start either. Tubs finally got out of bed some time around 10+pm. Yup. PM. He doesn’t sleep. He hibernates. And the most champion thing was he tried pushing the blame to me, about how he tried waking me up, blah blah blah. Haha. Nice try. Me who has difficultly sleeping does not concuss for such inhuman amount of hours. If I even sleep for more than a couple of hours, I think I deserve an award oready. Who’s BF doesn’t think twice about blaming his GF for everything? Mine. Bravo.
When we finally got out of the house, we ended up eating at XDL. Haha. Ironic eh. I think steamboat is really out to kill me. Anyway, before we left the house, we booked tickets for Horsemen at 1.40am. So luckily we were oready outside eating so we sat at XDL until it was time for us to go straight to the cinema. I thought Horsemen was not too bad. Ending was too abrupt for everyone’s liking, but the rest of the movie was quite nice. Gore and all. But after all these years, it’s still a pain hearing Zhang Ziyi speaking in English but she did look pretty psycho in the show, which suits her character. Haha.
That’s about all for Saturday. Saturday suddenly consists of just about 5 hours or so.
Sunday woke up being quite crabby cos tubs was trying to piss me off. Finally when we left the house, it was off to Seletar in search of dog farms. Yeah. Dog farms. Not puppy mills. Puppy mills are sick shit. We only came across one animal farm with barely any animals. And after driving around abit, we realized there were no other animal/ dog farms around. But at that time, we were passing by somewhere selling fish. So I thought why not just stop and take a look. Then tubs started whining - Can we not. Bloody shit. Whole day was futile, what’s just 1 more place which we were oready right in front of? So we ended up going in and irony hits once again. He ended up buying a tank and some fishes. 6 puffer fishes to be exact. So the person who didn’t want to go, ended up being the customer instead. I knew we were pretty screwed once he decided to buy fishes there. Cos after buying, we had to go back to his house to set up the tank, put the fishes in etc. And I knew we were gonna be late for dinner at my Granny’s place. And I hate being late for dinner there cos Granny is quite particular about everyone eating together. But tubs being tubs, thinks for himself only. So after going to his place and helping him set up everything, we went to Granny’s place. And we were so late everyone had oready finished dinner. Everyone, let’s give tubs a round of applause.
Anyhoos, we went back to his place at night after Granny’s place and one of his fishes had jumped out of the tank. He insisted it was dead, I insisted to just put it in a tub and let me look at it. And I managed to revive it. But not for long. Cos everything else was pretty screwed up due to all the rush earlier in the day. Actually I’m surprised there was only 1 fatality. It was a total mess. Some things can’t be rushed. I think all he can do now is just try to get his aquarium right before the rest die. And I’m too tired to tell him what to do anymore if he has no initiative to go read up on what should be done. I’m no babysitter. And I’m not cut out to do the dirty work while you just act like a little kid at the funfair.
Sometimes I really miss being pampered and having someone around who makes me feel safe cos I know he’s gonna take care of everything, and I don’t have a care in the world. I feel what I’m going through now should only happen many years down the road - when I’m looking after my own children. But now, it’s my BF who I have to look after like a child. I’m like having post natal depression. Haha.
Now as I’m blogging and surfing the net and watching TV and doing random stuff, the big baby is in dreamland beside me, while I wait for the magical hour to strike before I coax him from his slumber and make sure he wakes up and wash up and get changed and remember to take all his stuff before I get him to the MRT on time so that not only will he reach work on time, he’ll get the earlier train with less people so that he can get a seat. And after that when I get home, then can I try to get some rest. Tell me I don’t sound like a mother trying to get her child to school on time.
Ok that’s all folks. Try to see some humor in this, but at the same time, oso please try to feel for me. Haha. As much as I get frustrated, but it has also come to a point when I’m too numb by all this oready. Not numb in a good way though, cos when the insides get numb, you really don’t care anymore. Sometimes I can laugh at all these, but it’s not the kind of laughter you wanna hear.
But other than my girls, the other thing that made me happy was my brand new Care Bear. I love. And no, tubs didn’t buy it for me.
And Mick, I dunno if you read my blog but sorry I couldn’t eat at your café on Friday even though I was so nearby due to time constraints. I’ll meet up with you soon and do cheer up k.
