Damage

I was early this morning and traffic was great all the way… must be the school holiday season. Anyway, I was so hungry since last nite and all I thought was Starbucks… Starbucks… Starbucks… when I was on my bed trying to sleep.

So there I was in Starbucks Centrepoint…..at 8.00am sharp, Monday morning.

Me : One Original Chicken Pie and one Grande Green Tea frap, no whip, please.

Barista : Having here?

Me : Yes, please.

Barista : You wanted the Kapitan Chicken Pie or Original Chicken Pie?

Me : Original….. (I thought I already told her that just now…. $%^&^)

Barista : That will be RM32.50

Me : (dalam hati) … wah, how come so mahal pulak? Selalu takde la mahal camni…. Hmm.. maybe the chicken pie…

So I handed her the cash and the Starbucks card (I need 2 more stamps for me to get that nice Starbucks 2011 organizer… yeayy!!) Yes, I rarely checked the receipts….. ! Bad habit, Nazura!











I was enjoying my pie and drinks when the Barista came to me and gave me this….












Barista : Here’s your orange juice.

Me : Did I order that?

Barista : (Looked puzzled) …. Err… yes you did.

Me : Oh… did I? (Seriously, I thought this lady must be dreaming… I ordered 2 items only)

Silent…… for close to 30 seconds… and suddenly she jumped…

Barista : ….err…ohh…ohh…. hmm…just now you said Original Chicken Pie OR Orange Juice & Chicken Pie???

Me : ORIGINAL chicken pie…. (smilling)

Barista : Oh.. I’m sorry… I thought you said Orange Juice & Chicken Pie ….!!???

Hmmmm….. why did I pay so much for my pie and drinks today???

Go figure….

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...

Yes, I’ve been blessed with a lot of wonderful people around me….. yes friends, you! Read on…. Yesterday, around 6.15pm, I was in the middle of reviewing something when I was called for a meeting with one of big bosses here…. And I was thinking in anger, ‘Great! It’s 6.30pm and they want to have a meeting. Don’t they have families to run back home to????” So I got up from my chair and ran down to one of the meeting rooms in Level 5. I peeped through the small glass and the room was dark and empty. They were not even they yet! Heck! But when I pushed open the door, suddenly I heard people screaming and laughing and shouting, “Happy Birthday To You!!!!” and everyone was holding a candle in their hand. Gosh! My colleagues planned a Birthday Party for me. No wonder the department was empty when I left and I didn’t even notice. I was speechless! I was asked to blow the candles that they were holding and those on the cake (oh! The cake was so yummylicious!) I was so touched. Everybody was th...

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...
