had a very hectic saturday (19th).. and it wasn't very pleasant either..
work that day was BORING.. but then again.. what's new? hahah.. actually i shouldn't feel this way, coz it's what's keeping me sane during the long holidays.. but now it's driving me insane!! contridictory, but well.. that's just me..
went over to dear's place after work on saturday.. supposed to play mario on his comp but i ended up asleep on his sofa and waking up at 4. (supposed to meet lynn and diana to go to jill's place for her bbq party at 5 @ aljunied.. *sheepish*) rushed to take the bus and guess what?
number 1 - I was across the road waiting to cross when the bus 70 zoomed past me
number 2 - after waiting for like 15 mins, the stupid bus 70 finally came, but after driving off for less than 5 mins.. the bus started to produce beeping sounds, then it came to a STOP. WTH??? i was like late by then.. and the bus HAD to break down. crap i tell you.
so after that I took a 103 to serangoon coz i needed to withdraw money (since i had no cash with me to take a cab). then...
I couldn't find the ATM!!! the time then was like 445, and i had 15 mins to find an ATM, draw some money and take a cab down to aljunied..
not humanely possible
after asking a kind uncle at a mama shop.. i finally found an ATM, and successfully withdrew the money... =P
the next part was the difficuly part.. flagging a cab. maybe it was because of the time (about 455 then - most cabbies were changing shifts) or maybe it was coz i was damn suay, but i stood there and waited and waited and waited and tried and tried to get a cab.. but none of them stopped for me!! why? am i not pitiful enough?? the stupid bus broke down and it's not my fault!!!
then.. a kind taxi driver stopped for me and i got to aljunied.. at about 515. to face 2 slightly black faced friends-lynn and diana. well, at least i got there right? and i told you i'll be late!? i would like to remind all that by then.. i too was in a very black mood.. and it did not do anything to lift my mood.. seeing the 2 black faces staring at me..
okay... moods and black faces aside.. we made our way to jill's place after waiting for the dreaded bus 40 for 10 mins.. which makes the time then 525. i had to rush off to go to my grandma's birthday dinner by 620 originally.. so it sorta meant that i would really be staying for a while only.
things were okay at jill's place... got to see her boyfriend at last... and while she helped around the house, we were sitting in the living room,
munching on chips and salsa prepared by her.. mmmm.. the salsa was good.. haha jill pass me your recipe!! even diana, who refuses to touch vegetables, ate the salsa.. which contains tomatoes, onions, celery (i think) and what not vegetables.. the fact that diana ate it is saying something... *grinz*
spent sometime talking.. and lynn was downing orange juice + vodka.. think she was feeling thirsty bah.. haha.. had to leave at 645 to go to chinatown (of all places.. my grandma had to hold the birthday dinner near the place i was working at.. no technically it's the building opposite where i was working.. i have to go there in the day for 6 days a week, and now at night for dinner.. what the?? *rolls eyes*) nice lynn and diana walked me out to the bus stop.. and i took 135 (supposedly to paya lebar where i could take a train down to chinatown) BUT!!
my mum called and said i was late.. so i alighted and took a cab.. the driver kept talking on his hp, calling his friends and everything.. and i was in a hurry!! pissed off man.. when we turned into the road near bugis junction.. damn there was a jam... and it took all i had to not sream in frustration.. haha a little drama mama here but that was how i felt that day... like crap.
managed to reach people's park centre at 730.. and got "why are you so late" look from my dad.. but thankfully.. i did not get scolded...
yep.. lucky me indeed.. and the food was fabulous!!!! the restaurant we ate in is Tai Seng Restaurant.. and it has a good rep i heard.. judging from the large number of people eating there... not bad at all... =)
okay... enough of me ranting on about saturday already.. seemed to have a spate of really bad luck that day... well.. it's over.. just remind me never to plan so many meeting ups on the same day ever again... *grinz*
more on china... when i scan and upload the pics... =) be patient!!
