fruitful day
Woke up at 1100 today, still not enough sleep. Whole day felt that my eyes are tired and droopy. LOL. Maybe because I slept too late last night at 3+am. Intended to sleep earlier but cannot, so in the end watch this taiwan show until so late, entitled fierce wife. Quite nice la, but this type of show can really anger me sometimes. Irritated by the characters in the show and it's plot. Haha, guess I watched it too seriously. But what I am interested in is the 'korean' like script in a taiwan show. Quite a no. of Korean shows had this cliche plot of a married couple broke up, and each party end up with a different spouse. Usually, taiwan drama plots especially idol shows had this plot of couples breaking up (or on the verge) but in e end will still end up being together. Hmmm, but I guessed korean culture is the 'in' thing now. Hahaha. So lets see how this show's ending will be.
Oh, tried out the first ever contact lens today. Haha. I guessed I am a bit outdated la, only started wearing contact now. It was indeed a weird experience in my opinion, cos I really felt that I was digging my eyeball out when removing it. Haha, but practice will make perfect, so I shall slowly get used to it ba. Haix, the older I become, the more money I spend on such thing. Such things meaning 奢侈品. Meaning, even dun have all these also can survive de. But still, I splurge on them. The power of money. The impact of having spending power. I will never believe anyone who says that money is not important. Bullshit lo. Even u only want to live a simple life in whatever outcasted area or countryside, what is the first and most crucial thing to achieve that??? MONEY la. Only with enough money then u can really live a worry-free and carefree life in whatever countryside or ulu area. If no money, what can u do other than daydream? Even u want to live on by growing your own crops or what, u still need money to buy land and seeds. So, to me, nothing is possible without money. Very crude thinking I know, but this is the reality. From the past till now, this has always been the truth. If u had lived a life of comfort before, will u really be contented to live a poor life for whatever reason? Like if u had always grown up in a city, how will u be able to survive in the countryside? Sadly, I've grown up in a city/society since young, and I will want to remain in a place like this, I cannot imagine a place without clean water, fine dining resturants, or internet!
Oh ya, read an interesting article just now. It says that in this world, out of every 4 people, there will be one who has mental problems. So look at your friends around u, if your 3 friends are mentally ok, then the one who is unsound is YOU! lol. What funny saying. Of course I dun think this is the true meaning of the article la. Just interesting. Well, I really think I may be the mentally got problem one, cos my mum always say my way of understanding and thinking is weird at times. Lol. I dun deny that. Why think normally if u have the ability to think the unusual way?? Normal does not equates correct, and hence being unusual is not wrong. But of course, dun be too abnormal until others are unable to accept la.
Speaking of this suddenly remembered some funny things I heard last fri during work. Not purposely, but just happen to overheard some conversation btw 2 people. A nurse and a subject. Luckily I dunno the nurse personally, and i dun wanna know her anyway. Anyway, heard her saying and praising herself to the subject. Saying something like my blood taking skill is excellent. And also prasing herself that her biology is the best, always get A (but not distinction). Luckily I was back facing them then, if not if I see their expression I will definitely laugh out loud! Who will be so thick skin de? And somemore she is not saying it in a joking manner. Cannot stand. Always think she is weird enough le just by looking at her (and her make up), and now hearing the way she speaks, faints. And also never help me when I was struggling with taking/keeping the step ladder, holding the door, and shifting away the dustbin with my 2hands and leg. End up I slipped a little, hit my shoulder on the wall, drop the ladder against the door, the door slammed and push the dustbin away. With the noise and commotion, she did not even look up once even she is less than 2m from me. Maybe I am over calculative, but any normal person in such circumstances, will at least look up or show a face of 'concern/r u ok' ba.
OK, I think I am a bit bad to write the above out, but dun care, I am still a bit annoyed/angry. Anyway, enough of her, went out with my mum and sis to chinatown today. Bought bak gua finally, haha, cheaper to buy after CNY and is no queue lo. Walked about abit, but I dun like the chinatown now. It is different from the past chinatown le, now is really china-town. Oops, I am not being biased or what here, I am not. Main aim of today is to accompany my mum, cos she sprain her little toe (due to me anyhow putting my bad on the floor). In e end, I was shopping around with my sis and buying koi la, she went to the sinseh herself. Hahaha. Then went to tour agencies to enquire about our korea trip. Although I like SA tour, but they should really change their receptionist. She is driving away all the business for goodness sake. Firstly, receptionist is the first person u see after u stepped into the agency, so she should be presentative, at least get a younger gal la, not an auntie with thick makeup. Ok, with this sentence is very bias I know, cannot judge people by age I know. So now is my 2nd reason, shouldn't receptionist be friendly and answer queries patiently? NO! SHe is not! I stepped in, she just gave me the 'what u want' look. So I said I want to enquire about korea tour. She asked me back, when u want to go? Answered april. Guess what is the answer?
Now dun hav. Wait till our in house travel fair then will have. FULL STOP. And she actually give me the smirk look. Damn it! I really dunno what kind of service attitude is this lo. For me, I dun think I am a very demanding customer, firstly I won't raise up my voice, I won't have a harsh tone. And even I am unhappy, I will not complain or ask to see any higher up person or what. Just give me a simple explanation I will be ok le. The way she looked at me is like I am only asking only surely won't sign a package one la, then she turn away to entertain people behind me. Then, ask me to wait for the travel fair. At least u should politely say the tours are not confirmed for april onwards now, and give the time and location of the travel fair la. This is the minimum ba. Just say like that how am I supposed to know when on earth is your fair? Being angry I just said oh ok then turned away, then guess what I heard? The person behind me asked about april departure tours, and she directed them to the counter. WTF really. Change the receptionist la!!! Only one is pathetic enough somemore this type of attitude. EVen they have better deals or more attracting itineries I will not look at them anymore. Angry.
So in e end, walked over to hong thai and booked a tour with them straightaway. LOL. I came with the intention to buy. Too bad for SA. Hongthai people are much friendlier, and younger. Explained to us everything in detail, even shared with us tips for shopping. So decided to just sign up. Me and my mum. Hehe. So everything is more or less confirmed now. They said is a confirmed departure le cos 10 to go. And we are the 9th and 10th. Unless suay suay got people cancelled or what la. But I think should be ok de la, cos still got the upcoming natas. I hoped there will be more people in our group, so we will have tour leader from singapore to follow us along. 2 tour guides better than 1 ma. Haha. Excited, april 2nd departure, yeah, very fast de. Initially wanted to extend 2 more days FnE for shopping de, but my mum being a bit paranoid, she is a bit scared and worried about minor things like hotel how, flight how, language barrier how blah blah blah. So ok lo, never extend. Haix. Just me alone confident not enough, never mind la, if it is really nice, I will do a FnE trip there on my own next time. Haha. Just like how I travel taiwan independently. But of course, that will be after dunno how many years le.
Meanwhile, must get my shopping list for korea ready soon. Since time flies not crawls now, must quickly prepare le. Wonder will it be too cold? Researched on the net last year beginning of april minimum temp is like 2-5 deg max like 10+ only. Thinking about it makes me shivers. Sydney's 8deg make me tremble le, now if only 2deg, how how how? Clothings can only prepare only tour is 100% confirmed ba. Anyway, main point is, just thinking about the tour makes my blood boil le. Hehe, so happy. Hopefully it is a peaceful trip, haha, cos everytime with my mum we will quarrel. Like last time in taiwan we can shout at each other in front of crowd at the shilin night market. Lol. But we get angry fast, we make up fast as well. ANd my anger usually comes and goes quick. Hehe. So should be ok la, and with my mum around, I think I will not spend too much. hahahaha.
Close to 1am now, feels like watching the drama again. Listening to jay's concert now, enjoying. Today is a joyous and fruitful day despite some minor setbacks la. So plus minus, I am still very happy today. One minor thing/event/person may make u sad/angry at times, but changing a way of thought, one minor thing may also makes u happy. It is just how the way u perceive it and how do you want to think.
So right now, although I am a bit sleepy and tired, but changing a way of thought, it is sunday and still a rest day, no need to work, haha, energy come back le la. Can continue to watch show and ton the night lo. Hahaha. What bullshit I am saying/writing.
