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 ...

Angels - Mission Possible...!?

Last week was a week full of excitement for me. One, because I was busy with my work, so the week went by faster than usual…. (meaning: less time spent on ‘termenung’ & missing my husband); Two, my hubby dearest was scheduled to arrive on Friday night (3rd March 2006), the more reason for me be thrilled and eager counting the days; Three, me and the rest of March Angels ( Leilanie & T. Ina ) planned to meet up on Friday (3rd March 2006, also) to celebrate our birthdays and Leilanie had this fantastic idea of challenging ourselves to find gifts for the birthday mommies (and the gifts must cost less than 10 bucks each!) – and Leilanie, I must tell you that this challenge really made me sweat all afternoon on Thursday….. hehehe …and Four, me & my husband (and also the children) planned for a weekend getaway to Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa on 4th & 5th March 2006. There I said it…..nothing much to say about point One & Two…. but point Three and Four…..definitely!!!...

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...
