Okay. So I procrastinated in sending a card out and thus I chose to order flowers online to send it to mom for her birthday. The typical cina in me thought the most “value for money” would be the potted rose plant. It looked really cute, okay? Let me show you what I mean.

I chose the pink one because it looked sweeter than the yellow.

When I got the email this morning confirming that my order has been delivered, I called mom to ask if she liked what she saw. I was even confident I’d get a happy, excited, gushy response. Instead, she went, “Oh…uhmm…next time don’t waste this kind of money okay.”

“Oh. Why? You don’t like it?”

(more…)

It doesn’t matter now but I’m not exactly happy with how my $44 was spent. What’s the point of me sending stuff out using your company (I trust you to be REAL QUICK!) if it’s going to take ages getting there – or if it’s going to take the same amount of time if I were to use the local national courier and at half the price to boot?

Picked up from work on 6th May, somewhere past 12pm…and it was left sitting around till near 8am the next day to be sent to Auckland????????????? Then it takes ANOTHER day to be processed and sent out from Auckland only after 4pm today.

Not happy at all.

I’m just glad (some kind of irony here) that the arrival day/time of those stuff does not matter anymore. I just expected more from this company, especially when I am paying (what I feel) a premium price for their service.

Do not bring my mother into this. Or her mother.

“Have you got malt?”
“Uh…I don’t think so. What is it used for?”
“You DON’T KNOW what malt is?! Didn’t your mother give it to you when you were growing up??!!”

Stupid cow.
I wouldn’t be as calm as Amanda (I was standing at the side fuming on her behalf) to answer her nicely and tried to check if Dunks had them. Bengong betul.

Go get Ovaltine or Milo or Horlicks. They sell it at the supermarket.
If you want the liquid form, try health food stores.

Don’t just shoot your mouth off at us with unnecessary mention of our mothers. Not cool!

It’s been so long since I logged on that I almost forgot what is my password.

I don’t know why people keep asking me questions that are not really their problem.
I lent my car to friends who needed it. I did it because I know I CAN live without it (I can still walk to get around town. Honestly, it’s not the end of the world – I survived 6 months plus without a car!).

I feel really bad when my decision means being an inconvenience to others (thanks Jo and Judy for those rides back) but please don’t bug me like I’m a 5 year old who got her toy “taken” or something. I agreed because I know they need it more than I do (it’s only temporary anyway), and walking is not a big deal! Get over it!

Stop asking when I’m getting it back! What’s the point of offering it up if I’m going to ask for it back after a day or so?

Stop asking me every time you see me, GET OVER IT.

(I don’t really want to write this down but I just wanted to vent. Back-blogging would be up soon and I think I will have to bake some chocolate cupcakes just to cheer myself up.)

I need somewhere to hide out.

Dahlah tak kerja ‘karang. Katanya pakwe kerja – tapi ‘karang kat luar hisap rokok. Cis! Masalahnya asap dan bau tu ditiup oleh angin – masuk dalam bilik aku. GRRRR! Tutup pintu dan tingkap, panas pulak.

Kekadang rasa nak bersendirian – orang lain kat sini menjengkelkan aku – terutamanya pakwe terkininya yang kekadang tak senonoh.

My BM is down the drain. Thank God I passed during SPM, else menganggur I.

I think I’m PMS-ing.

I’m an adult, I don’t think you dictate what I can do or cannot do. Why do I have to consult you on when I travel or not?

Cis.
Mak pun tak kongkong aku sebegini. Peliknya ialah, mengapa aku peduli pula apa yang dia katakan? Kalau saya nak duduk bas pergi ambik kereta, lantak lah. Bukannya aku tak tau ‘camner nak baca peta. Bukannya bodoh.

Right.
Dia kata nak gi tempat yang sama ‘ngan pakwe, kononnya nak tinggalkan tempat ni untuk beberapa hari tanpa anak-anak (anak pakwe kerana anaknya dah pergi tempat lain ‘ngan ayah anaknya) – kiranya boleh pergi bersama, lebih seronok katanya. Apa yang seronok sangat – tak rela nak duduk dalam kereta untuk 2-3 jam ‘ngan dua orang tu.
Nanti bila dia pulang, aku akan tanya lagi (dahlah kata nak pergi bersama tapi nak ikut masa pakwenya – aku ada hari ni dan esok saja yang tak kerja!) – kalau tak boleh bagi jawapan muktamad, nak pergi beli tiket untuk bas esok. Bolehnya pandu ‘ngan perlahan untuk balik ke sini kerana tak kerja.
Bengong dibuatnya.

Ultimately, I don’t really have a problem with you but I don’t think I should waste my time hanging about waiting for an answer – I’m pretty sure I can handle it on my own. Thank you for your help but this is just ridiculous – me waiting around for you to give me a definite answer.

Dan yang tak rela nak duduk dalam kereta bukan ditujukan kepada dia. We get along fine but bila pakwenya ada, dia jadi macam orang lain. I’m fine with that as long as I have a choice to not be in the same room.
