day off

took the day off yesterday. might as well claim it since i was in no mood for work. am still in no mood for work…but money’s got to be earned, and bills have got to be paid. so….

so yesterday was my day wif the swift. i like! driving around in a manual is such an accomplishment for an auto-pampered girl like me. n it was quite the ride..zipping here and there doing this n that. first up…. bishan to send him off to work. next…jalan besar for some bit of swimming. although it was damm hot and glaring like mad (its 1230 in the afternoon..what do you expect??), was glad that i did it. haven’t been swimming for the last few weeks, and the inertia’s getting to me. so….swimming is good.

picked up runie from school n headed off to town after that. spent some time picking out a few tops from john little. even went to the extent of trying on a few for size. happy with my choices, i headed on to the cashier, only to realise that they’ve got this $5 voucher thingy for cardmembers, which i didn’t bring of cos since i usually ignore those mailers (you know..the ones from dept stores, banks, the like). so cheapo me decided to forgo the tops and come back another day with the voucher hahha. an hour wasted for nothing.

then had late lunch at macs centrepoint. asked for double fillet without the cheese. got a double cheeseburger without the cheese instead. which is weird. cos why on earth wd one get a cheeseburger without cheese?? wouldn’t it be better just to order a hamburger?? hmmmmm

dropped off runie somewhere else in town, and headed to hsa. i had absolutely no idea how to get there, so was relying entirely on my instincts. which served me well i must say cos i didn’t make a wrong turn anywhere n got there without any difficulties whatsoever. yeyyy! :) am super proud of myself (then again how lost can one get in singapore rite? hahha) i think the nurses at hsa are less experienced? cos i didn’t recall experiencing so much pain (ok that’s stretching it a bit. lets call it discomfort shall we) the last time i donated at one of those mobile exercises they had. this time round, i took so long to fill up the bag, and the nurse kept apologizing to me for the ‘bruise’ on my hand. i didn’t realize what she was talking abt til i see it this morning. there’s a bruise alrite! but anyway, i must say that the refreshments given were better at hsa than at those blood mobiles. plus blood donors get to park for free there! not bad ah

next on the itinerary…bishan again to pick him up. then CG to freshen up, before going adams to makan. then off to suntec for mi3. which is just too loud n explosive if you ask me. the story’s ok lah…but i wish they had lesser effects.

so…that’s how the day went for me. thanks to those who called to see how i was doing after reading my last post…u know who you are :) i’m doing alrite now. we’re only human wif human flaws, and i’ll do my best to improve and make things better. as for my dearest cousin, we miss him terribly. and his family’s still receiving visits from frens who’d only now gotten to know that he’s gone. but life goes on. and all we can do is pray
