~I guess it's over...can't believe that i'm the fool again~

The long weekend is over. Nan de!? Sighz. I thought I was just looking forward to it…

Well, though it went by a little tad too fast, it was quite fruitful. “fruitful” here is a pun. Pun! My god! I am so literary!! Yess..really. Fruitful as in time was meaningfully spent and also I ate quite a lot of fruits, including guava, papaya, mango, oranges... yummy. Kudamono ga dai suki ne!

Had a braised dark dinner with duck sponsored by naz.. it was quite oishii except that the sauce could be heated up to enhance the flavor.

The original plan for good Friday was to go Ubin to cycle but as everyone knows or knew or already predicted, it rained…so super heavily. Traveled like 1 hour plus to reach Ubin terminal and we immediately got on to the same bus we alighted to go back to tampines… quite duh. Walked around in tampines mall and bought a nice sundress (ima okane nai) and some guidebooks for teaching my kids (argh… sianz. Another avenue of okane outflow).  

Spent the day baking oatmeal cookies instead. We were puzzled that the cookies baked by naz always turned out looking better in terms of the shape (naz wasn’t that puzzled…but I was!). Cannot be me ma…I’m from food and nutrition can…ahem. After a few rounds, we concluded that it was the tray that made the difference. Somehow when we took turns to bake the cookies in batches, he always got to use the tray that baked better cookies. Doesn’t make sense? Ya.. I wakaranai also..so.
Anyway, guys are supposed to be better chefs... in the workplace. But I would gladly agree and concede defeat if they really are better chefs at home as well. Let them cook.. its ok. I like to be known as a bad cook so that I can sit and wait to be fed..heh. Who likes to cook?! Greasy and hot.. Plus all the washing up to do after that.

Sat was as usual just with an extra irritating Samsung tv guy who turned up at my door without calling first. The pissed part was that on the form wrote big and clear “to call before appointment”. ggggrrR.
It’s the same old problem about my tv not able to change channels smoothly. Resorted to Samsung as starhub has done her fair share to change my cable box twice and remote control as well.

For the whole 1 hour he just fiddled with the cable box, making the phrase “mind your own business” totally applicable. 3 times he suggested I should get starhub to change my box to digital cable box. I kindly enlightened him with the fact that I would need to subscribe to digital cable…and I am not interested in paying extra for that!

3rd pissed: he told me he know must pay..but still insisted I asked starhub to try first..if ok, then I should change.

4th pissed: he obviously doesn’t understand mandarin… that I don’t want to pay. I told him the problem arose due to the change in tv sets.. and I think he doesn’t understand also. I told him I can call starhub down and asked him if he’s willing to bear the charges for my digital cable for the rest of his life. Okie.. I think he understood this time. Coz he kept really quiet.

Urghz

Then. He requested to try out the other cable box in my bro’s room to see if got problem. Fine. No prob. Next. He requested to switch the 2 boxes to see if it works. F..i…n..e. Futile too. After playing around (for like 1 hour.. my tuition kids were already hooraying thinking they’re not having tuition liao), he said he will get a display set to test for me the next time round. Zenzen waste my jikan!!

Lucky at night I was relieved of pissing events by shopping with zhe and Sharon san…
