A series of unfortunate incidents + happy ending

It's really one of those days where you wake and realize it's going to be a long and sucky day. The weather started out absolutely perfect. It's one of those rainy days when the air is cool, cold and oh so comfy to snuggle in bed days, alarm rang and I told myself 10 more minutes, everyone else is going to be late too anyway. Snuggle and slept for a good 30 minutes before waking up. By then, for some strange reason, was walking around in a daze in total calm mode despite being terribly late.

Went to put on my contacts only to find my case empty. Stood there staring at it wondering if I somewhat had misplaced my contacts or something. Thought a little more and remembered that I had clearly placed them in safe and sound. Panic.

Screamed all the way from the back bathroom to the front door (not very far) at my sis who was on her way out to work asking her why did she throw my contacts away. She came in telling me she accidentally knocked it over. I found one lens stuck to the container still while the other was no where to be found. She went to hands and knees to find them and I told her to forget it. I knew where it was - under my feet. I knew that was something stuck on my feet when I came to the bathroom and little did I knew I was stepping on it. But finding my contacts gone. I so knew where they were then.

It was all wrinkly and dried up by then and I still had to wear it, was that gross or what? The contacts that I paid Ian to buy and deliver for me has yet to arrive despite waiting a good 2 freaking months for them. Ian's next week, next week was begun to sound like a broken recorder. That stupid bastard. Gave excuses that he didn't have the time for the post office but he had plenty of time to go to gym and work out. Talk about being irresponsible. He doesn't even pick up my calls or sms-es anymore. Even blocked me on msn despite hardly/ never messaging him there. Sheesh, takut his new girlfriend is it?!

I remember once that a trainer came to our bank and told us that on average people died around 60 years old these days. Since Ian's 30 I figure he must be going through mid-life crisis. He's now obsessed with losing weight and how much weight he has lost is all that he talks about. While part of me is proud that he's way healthier now then when he met me, at this current moment due to my emo-ness, all I want to do is scream out loud at him that body is not everything, I don't care how much weight he has lost, go do something about his ugly face instead or wear a paper bag.

I remember a song by Shakira - Illegal

You said you would love me until you die,
as far as I know you're still alive, baby

So in other words, PLEASE DIE ALREADY! *ahem* pardon my emo-ness. I don't usually call people ugly at all but if he's going to act like he suddenly became Mr Universe because he lost some weight, I'm going to call him UGLY very very often.

Drove to work and then turned back because I forgot to bring my handphone out. Came in 5 seconds too late from getting my name highlighted again. No excuse this time since I got in really late anyway, paid Mr W. my breakfast money as fine and starved. Literally.

Decided to call Uda North Sdn Bhd to ask about their project Pangsapuri Idaman. Puked blood. The staffs there can be rewarded with the title "World's Tai Chi Masters". If you're wondering why, I'll explain to you. They push their jobs to everyone but themselves. I was passed around from one person to another close to 10 times, ALL unable to help or didn't know nuts. They either passed you around till you went crazy or they would let you hold for close to 3 minutes and then close down your phone without any explanation.

If you think "Aiya, 3 minutes only." I suggest, you pick up your phone, time yourself and hold it to your ears for 3 minutes and see if that is long or not. It doesn't feel long if you're talking and there's people responding but when it's one sided, you end up feeling like a bloody fool to have waited before they hang on you. Finally one idiot answers my call.

Idiot On The Line(IOTL) : Aku tak tau la, you kena telepon JKP ler. Aku tak tau *makes loud sighing sound*
In other words, they don't know what the hell they are doing in the office beside waiting for each month's pay check.
IOTL : You kena telepon JKP, mereka yang handle ni
So I called JKP, they were helpful but unable to help me ask refers me back to Uda North,
IOTL : Tapi you kena call JKP
Explains that I was asked to call them instead by JKP
IOTL : You kena call JKP ler.
Explained again. same words again - another broken recorder.

In the end of the conversation, I gathered that Uda North is a stupid company. Why? Because they hire stupid people.

Best part of the day was when we went to meet Elyn, she came all the way to pass us our Ikea drawers. How we troubled her T.T
Before our lunch, we headed to Etude House and while everyone was browsing around, I too got tempted in buying something. After much deliberation, I decided on a bronzy gold-ish nail colour. Oooo, sparkly and shimmery. Yay!

Elyn bought some items and got a free sample BB cream, Precious Mineral BB Cream SPF30/PA++, sheer silky skin which she gave me since she doesn't like BB creams. Happiness!

3 Efficacies
UV Protection + Whitening + Anti Wrinkle

Precious Mineral BB cream promotes silky complexion with pearl infused sheer coverage

Please don't ask me what efficacies is. I don't know. Cambridge Dictionary doesn't know either. But i'm guessing:
efficacy
noun [U] FORMAL
an ability, especially of a medicine or a method of achieving something, to produce the intended result; effectiveness:


Precious Mineral BB Cream, Shine Up stick #08 Blue Beam, Dear Darling nails, #36 Planet Gold


Sealed nicely, thank you very much



Left to right: BB cream, Shine Up stick #08 Blue Beam


Smear it a little and try to blend it in


Surprisingly very fair. My wrist is pretty much a MAC NC15, thankfully the BB cream blends in after a while

I was really happy to receive the BB cream from Elyn, She's too sweet for words! *runs around happily* It's always nice to talk to her and learn little bits of her life. To me, she's really interesting. Oh and just in case there's no new post tomorrow, "Happy Birthday Alexandra!" Oh wait, did I get her name right? Kept referring to her as Pita that I got confused...

Ingredients are not stated and currently only one colour avaliable. When we went back to EH after meeting Mr.C, there was only one sample left. That's when I spotted the shine up stick. It was a lovely shade of lavander pruple that I just had to get it. Despite being names Blue planet, it looks purplish blue. Niceeee~

Randomness

This or that? *scratch head*

In the end, I choose the one on the right since I remembered that I nearly gauged my own eyes out with the pearls last Chinese New Year. Super glued the damn things and 6 hours later, 2 dropped off, then another 3 and then I got pissy and took everything off.
