Eh. Manners Please.

We were having our WIP
And lost the plot (as usual) in the middle, discussing where we were to go for our ‘team building’
I love how companies call these getaways team building whereas in actuality, its an excuse for us to run off to a nice island and party (and of course build bonds with our esteemed colleagues *cough*) all at the company’s expense

“We shouldn’t go to Koh Samui,” said Mr. Team Leader
“Why not?!” someone who wanted to go asked.
“Because,” he continued, “If we go, those two *points at Arianna and Fran* will run off shopping, those two *points at Delia and Alison* will run off somewhere else shopping, and those two *points at Tini and i* will be at the bar.”

Everyone laughed.

Tini and i:   

This Dress Thing

is really for the love from one shopaholic to another man

After liasing with people interested in them, sending more pics of the dress, making sure the payments are in, sorting out what gets sent where, wondering what to wrap them in, going out to buy plastic sheets and stationary (cos *some* presentation is required right?!), making little tags to go with them, tying the whole bundle up in ribbon, and sending it all off by post…

My (measly) profits is so not happening.

I spend hours and days doing this and getting the same returns as one  photoshoot.
Actually. Less then one photoshoot.

Whatmore i damn semangat wrap everything up nicely.
Anally making sure the scotch tape lined the edges of the plastic perfectly.
After wrapping three dresses, i thought, “You know what… this is taking TOO awfully long and i bet the girls aren’t going to notice whether my beautiful scotch tape is perfectly aligned ANYWAY!!!”

So i fucked it and started taping like a normal human being.

We’re going to Perhentian!!!
Just so happened my colleagues brought it up one Wednesday and decided an hour later we’d all go together!
I didn’t have a date (everyone was bringing one) so i pondered on who to ask

Had to be someone i always have fun with, but can also be quiet and not always have to talk to
And is good company and i can just be ME without trying jack

So i called the perfect candidate
Who insisted that we take a flight instead of a bus.
I was all la la la with taking the bus with the others cos i’m not fussy

“Let’s take a flight instead.”
“No, come on, let’s just take the bus, the others are!”
“Come on… the bus takes 12 hours!”
“Oh really? But it only costs RM32!”
“Let’s fly…” he pressed

It’s strange how i’d spend a few hundred dollars on a pair of shoes in 10 seconds but not when it comes to traveling…
I always think that you go through it, and you might suffer a bit, but after that, you’re done, at your destination and forget about it cos you’re already so happy clappy to be there
Whereas for things you *keep*, you… *puts on Powerpuff Bubbles voice*… hold them, and wear them, and use them, and love them forever and ever and ever!

I replied that i’s already going to be traveling to Bangkok, Kuching and Bandung and ought to save a bit

“I bet he’s going to offer to pay for your ticket, if he wants to fly so badly,” said Tini

He did.
Then the others wanted to fly too -_-
So now we’re all flying.

The Phone Gods HATE ME!

Remember how i mentioned my O2 passed away two nights ago?
This morning my Dopod decided to visit its buddy in heaven.
(It’ll switch on but it won’t cooperate with my SIM cards. I think it’s in a coma.)
I guess leaving them in my handbag next to each other all the time created some really strong bonds.

From having two phones to none at all made me feel so strangled.
Luckily i only had a long-ass meeting all day (which was bad as well cos i’m getting sick) so i didn’t have to worry about calls

BOTH my SIM cards won’t work with my Dopod, but Tini’s is able to

WHY?!

Can someone please tell me why.
I’ve tried it a few times and “Invalid or missing SIM card” pops up.
But when i chuck either of them into the Sony Ericsson (Fran lent me hers for emergency), they WORK.
So the SIM cards are FINE.

“Something’s up with my feng shui! I’m carless and phoneless!” i lamented to Big Boss
“Hey, it’s not feng shui, it’s phone shui! Ha ha ha!” he laughed boomingly at his own wit and strutted off

So. Not. Helpful.

The Dopod doesn’t fancy either of my SIM cards anymore.
But is okay with Tini’s.

Stress la.
Dahlah i have so much frikking work to do, but i have to run unnecessary errands somemore.
Send my O2 to be saved tomorrow.
Send my Dopod to 555.
Send car to Cycle & Carriage.
Send photo CD to Bangsar.
Go to work.
Send off dresses in post office.

So now my normal number is back up, but i don’t have ANYBODY’S contact number.
The only numbers i can remember by heart belongs to Daddy, PassedOutBen, MaryBerry, LaughingLoga, Smellie and Aaron.

*keels over*

And i have to get my act together before i fly off on Friday morning.
