Bye bye Ramadhan, hello Syawal... Its awkward on Syawal morning morning to wake up almost noon and able to EAT! Yes, the feeling of guilt when I put in food in my mouth feeling was intense. Why? Hmmm... Anyway I'm grateful for all the food I am able to savour on daily basis, especially on special occassions like this. But I am not grateful for the sore throat and the coughing and the headaches and the fever. That's so unnecessary! I had to request for plain water when the hosts' serving awesome, sweet sodas. Then everyone will go like "Oh are you on a diet?" True enuff I stopped asking for plain water and by 10pm last night, my coughing went NUTZ! I didn't had a good night rest because of the coughing. Now I learn something. Health comes before ego. Hehehe... Anyway yesterday was long and boring and most of the houses I went to, does not have grade A pineapple tarts.
Bad thing happens during the preparation for the festive season. I "broke" my darling digi cam on Wednesday. The snaps looked weird on preview. I dropped by Canon service centre on Friday and the man told me he had to replace the whole lens barrel that'll cost me $180 plus labour charge $60! The air was still for a while...
Me: What actually happened to my camera?
Him: The censor on the lens' not working anymore
Me: What spoils it?
Him: *thinking* Do you take outdoor shots?
Me: Yeah
Him: Maybe you overexposed the censor to the sun
Me: Oh (In my heart thinking, WHAT THE F**K!!!)
He was checking with me again if I really wanna get it repaired or if I want to get a new camera instead. I told him that my Canon Ixus V3's my baby and I will not let it die. He laughed and told me it'll be ready for collection end of this week. Where the hell am I gonna get the money by end of the week? Gosh! I hate myself for not knowing how to spend wisely. I need to hire a financial assistant. Hmmm... any takers?
Thank you Siti and Kym for the lovely Pasta and "Lump Juice". I missed hanging out with you psychos. Thank you Naura for agreeing to spend time with me. We had fun didn't we? Thank you to that Starbucks guy who's Kym's-younger-irritating-bro-who's-name-I-forgot, for screwing up my order which entitles me to another free drink. Thank you Asrena and Fidzah for the lovely dinner under the moonlight a.k.a at Lau Pa Sat, those chicken was hella good weren't they?
Alright, that pretty much sums up my week, last week. Till I have the USB wire to upload my photos... toodles!
