3 Days In My Life

Published by eGal | Filed under Life, People

I have been kinda in a bluey and almost “nirvanic” mood lately. Obviously, still busy at work…The past 3 days have been peaceful…I know, it seems contradicting. Look at it this way, I am blue but peaceful! Hahah. In these 3 days, I have connected myself back to the colourful world. A colourful world, exactly how colourful is that? Let’s see….

Day 1, Wednesday

I was at lunch and there were 3 ladies sharing the same table. It was crowded. There I was enjoying my Teochew porridge…while 1 of the lady was literally bitching non-stop at her other colleague about another colleague at work. She was REALLY NON-STOP! OMG. 1 of them was obviously entertaining her with short remarks while the other, like me, simply enjoying the Teochew porridge. I am just lucky that whatever I am putting into my mouth is so nice that whatever that is going through my ears are amusing, than annoying. Happy that she is not my colleague or anyone I know.

On the way back to the office, I saw 2 ladies giving out beauty pamphlets at a construction site. That’s weird and not smart. After crossing the traffic lights, I saw this lady in very high fashion wear, of the seasons. Very nice. Just a metre along the shaded pavement, there was another lady in high fashion wanna be went wrong! Interesting road. Colourful.

My boss has always said that I should not be reading too much 8 days and should be reading more valuable books. NO WAY! 8 days is like “the book”. In it, apart from entertainment, there are valuable information presented in a light hearted manner, just what I need after a day of heavy brain use. Colin Goh and Jason Hahn’s articles are not to be missed!

At night, I bought my 1 year 10 months old niece to watch Kungfu Panda. Although she was too young to understand the movie but she was paying due attention to the screen apart from her Pocky biscuits when the scene has higher volume or when the music comes on or when everyone was laughing, not to mention special attention was definitely paid when she was kicking the poor guy’s chair in front of us and eventually poured some mineral water over him. Oops. When everyone stream out of the theatre at the end, she was there waiving goodbye to EVERYONE! Interesting and intriguing little thing, kids….

While on the way back home with my mum, we were recapping the moments from Kungfu Panda. We had a good hearty laugh comparing my mum climbing up my 4 storey office vs Po, the panda, climbing up the many flights of stairs to the temple. Hahaha….panda-ingly painful yet funny!

Day 2, Thursday

For a couple of days, I forgot to pass my boss the resignation letter that my staff had given me although it was already known to my boss her last day. As I was urgent for the toilet, I just told my boss, “forgot to give you this” and I proceeded to walk quickly to the toilet and there she was, “what is this, why are you leaving me in the lurch like this? I cannot accept this.” I was like…”it’s not me, look at the name…” and she was like “ooh…” Mmm….resignation letter…. 

My mum called me when I wanted to call her. We arranged to meet to have dinner. While on my way to dinner, I heard the news on the cab, FM 95.8. Someone has to give up his 10+ years of chicken rearing business as the chicken feed has gone so steep in price! 2 years ago, it was $3/kg, a year ago it was $5/kg and this year its $12/kg! What has the world become to?! That someone had to let all his chicken go live in the wild, all 10 thousand odd of them….imagine, chickens in your park…

The same news. A research company did a research about woman’s cervix cancer. Results show that 70% of the women interviewed did not know that cervix cancer did not develop because of sex and the same 70% thought that having sex with condoms will prevent that. I do not know the cause of cervix cancer but I sure know that sex and condoms ain’t got anything to do with them. I need to read and listen to more news.

At dinner, my favourite mala steamboat place, the manager, was an impressive person. Almost 50, and there he was gushing to me and my mum about the latest technology especially in handphones, touch screen, HTC, Diamond, iPhone, Samsung, Nokia…and all the lot, which model was better, how much they cost…IMPRESSIVE! I was lucky I have friends who are crazy about such stuff. The conversation was interesting and definitely informative.

Watching America’s Next Top Model…I suddenly know what is my own Birthday Gift going to be…!!! (more on that on another post)

Day 3, Friday

A blue friday, I spent my whole lunchtime (nearly an hour), eating my lunch very slowly….like really slowly….which I never did. I normally finish my lunch in 15 mins! Then I spent my whole lunchtime, at the same time I was munching my lunch, I was munching oggling at guys’ butts and paunches!!! There are so many sizes, shapes and styles! Hahah and yes, they are seductive! Hahah…i have weak spots for them…Yes, you get me right – guys’ butts and paunches!!! Beware, all of you who have them out there. Erica’s very dangerous…!!!! *ROAR*

Then I had an interesting conversation with an old friend on MSN whom have not even met or spoke or even MSN him in ages. He was like, paunches = seductive?! -_-” A good friend went to the movies with her friend, also an old friend. Later at night, I dreamt that THAT old friend, a guy, tried to hold her hands.

I watched 3 DVDs that night. All new releases and arty farty films – Love in the Time of Cholera (M18), Cashback (M18), Charlie Wilson’s War (NC16)…don’t ask me why the rating. Nice show, gives me a very deep insight into life, love and passion, yes, even Charlie Wilson’s War which is more of the world and war.

Now isn’t that colourful, just 3 days of my life….
