I apologise for the absence. I have been meaning to blog, but either I couldn’t find the time to, or I wasn’t in the state to. But now I am back and I shall not let my blog die. Being me, my memory can be pretty limited but let’s start with something very close to my heart - FOOD!
Last last Sunday was BBQ at granny’s instead of the usual dinner. Food was fab and it’s been a long time since we had a nice BBQ session together! Might as well cos it was the long weekend with Hari Raya Puasa holiday the following day.
Last Wednesday, I went to get my wisdom tooth extracted. This dentist is in a class of his own. He is very unprofessional in my opinion, half the time being unsure about what he was doing, and the other half not telling you what he's doing. But he is quite a nice guy and I just couldn‘t seem to bring myself to be angry with him, so I can’t figure out what I feel towards him. Haha. On the day itself, he decided at the last minute to extract 2 teeth instead of 1 and being me, I just gave him the green light. Because I have never had a wisdom tooth surgery before, I didn’t quite know what to expect. All I know is that he must have ODed me on anesthesia and steroids cos it left me woozy, tired and pretty much disorientated for the next few days. I’m pretty sure that wasn’t meant to happen. I know it got some people very worried especially when it continued right into the weekend. Haha. But I’m fine now so all’s good. I was on a high I swear, psychomotor retardation in full swing. Three quarters of the time, I couldn’t remember what I wanted to say, I had problems controlling my actions, I couldn’t feel things much, I was shaking like I had Parkinson’s disease, I was so easily tired out, I was giddy etc. So whoever I may have inconvenienced or pissed off or caused worry to, I’m so sorry! I really could not help it.
But anyway, when the anesthesia started to wear off following the surgery, the pain was quite a bitch. It actually woke me up from my nap and there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about it cos the time was way too soon for the next dose of painkiller. But by night, I was up and running and no, I didn’t drive. Thank goodness cos I wouldn’t know what would have happened if I did, being high on all the medication. Haha. And this brings us to another story, which is another reason why I didn’t drive.
One day, the battery sign in Little Red Riding Hood lighted up. Being a complete car idiot, the mother drove to the workshop at SPC and got them to check what’s wrong after using the car to run her errands. Apparently the alternator was faulty and needed to be changed. The mother came home, woke me up from my slumber, just to spend the next half an hour or so to tell me her story about the car and what the people at SPC said etc. Her main aim was for me to get the car fixed. I called C&C and they said they’ll call me back so I went back to bed. I woke up once again to incessant knocking on my door, only to be asked ‘you still don’t want to bring the car to get fixed?’. OMFG. If only everything was so easy. I had to waste time once again to explain everything to her, that I was waiting for them to return my call, that to get something fixed, an appointment must be made, and even if I made an appointment, they wouldn’t be able to fit me in so last minute etc etc etc. And being her dumb self, she filtered everything I said out cos she said to just bring the car down without an appointment, leave them with no choice and they will have to fix it on the spot. That woman has serious issues. She thinks she owns Cycle & Carriage. I wish she did as well but too bad that’s not how my sad life works. Anyway, to cut short the entire extremely frustrating conversation so that everyone reading this does not have to go through the exact pain I had to go through, she ended off asking me to drop her at Parkway and then take the car to C&C. Come to think of it, I am surprised I didn’t stab her to death at that point of time. And that’s after I told her C&C WILL NOT fix the car on that day itself and that the car is NOT ABLE to move around much with an almost flat battery. Of cos my answer was NO so in the end, she drove the car to Parkway herself and good for her cos the car didn’t die on her and she even managed to return home with it. And she said if the car dies at Parkway, she’ll 'just leave it there and take cab home lor’. WTF. I dunno whether she’s more stupid or she’s more selfish, just thinking for her own convenience. And after she got home, she could still try to ask me to bring the car to C&C the next day, which in the earlier conversation, I had oready told her it was impossible cos I had a tooth surgery first thing in the morning and also that if she drove the car, I will not touch it anymore cos the last thing I wanted was the car to die on me on the way to Ubi. The next morning, as I was leaving to go to the dentist, I saw a tow truck come tow the car away. Why am I not surprised…
Let me sidetrack for abit first. Since I’m on the topic about being pissed with people, there was one day a security guard at my place totally pissed me off. And I fucking gave him a piece of my mind. And after that incident, I was still damn pissed, so I dropped the management office a little note. I hope he gets his ass fired. I hate people who do not know their place, acting big when they are nothing.
Ok, now let’s go back on track.
Thursday, Little Red Riding Hood was still at the workshop I figured but I was still woozy so I wouldn’t have driven her anyways. I met Mel at Bugis cos she had won tickets for the F1 Rocks concert at Fort Canning for Mando Night and she decided to bring me! I love her to bits lah! Out of all the people she could have invited, she brought the worst person she could bring to a concert. Haha. Post-surgery, swollen-faced, mute, giddy me. I enjoyed myself thoroughly even though halfway during Jacky Cheung, I had to abandon her and go sit at a corner cos I nearly passed out from my head spinning so bad. But other than me being a spoiler, I’m so glad I went. A-Mei and Jacky Cheung were fab, just as expected. And thank god I was in the right mind and got most of it recorded down on video. Hur hur. I'm lazy to upload the videos here but here's a song he performed which I love!
Friday evening, finally met up with Chen. She’s so hard to meet up with nowadays lor. Haha. School’s a bitch eh, just like you. Hur hur. She came pick me and we went to our new Siglap hangout and it was great hanging out with her again but I was feeling like crap within afew hours and I really had to go home. I’m so sorry Janey! I’ll make it up to you I promise!
Saturday night, tubs and I went Holland V for Cold Rock and it was so bad. I wouldn’t pay for Cold Rock ever again. I’d rather eat Macs ice cream. Urgh.
Sunday night was Jack’s wedding and I swear tubs spent forever getting lost in the area. From us being early to us reaching late, I wished he could just try a little harder when looking at the street directory rather than guzzling up Little Red Riding Hood’s petrol. It was a small wedding, nothing fancy but the food was good. Yums!
After the dinner, we went to Mel’s house supposedly to watch a movie but we ended up planning something for somebody. Haha. When our plans come into action, that person better appreciate all the effort lor! Mel & I had spent most part of our Sunday afternoon coming up with ideas at Tong Shui while tubs and Alex were having their RT. Even though it was built around by many evil and highly hilarious ideas, it’s still a lot of work ok. I can’t wait to see what happens and I can’t wait for Judy to make a grand entrance. Haha!
Had dinner and chilling session with my bitches just now. It seems like forever since I last saw da chix even though she’s working so nearby lah. Haha. Here’s our meal at our gem of a cafe. I love it there even though I wish they would close later.
There are so many things I gotta do this week, from getting my stitches removed to buying mooncakes to finally deciding on which camera to buy. I’m just crossing my fingers the Peony Jade Oor Nee moonies are still available. I also can’t wait to meet up with my lovelies for Sunday’s picnic!
