Had a really long day; met at 10am(!) in school to discuss comm project, with a project group which I initally thought was great; but alas, I think my grades will be screwed up again, even if I am only taking 1 bloody course (not to mention there is an exam!) My project mates aren’t exactly what I will call wonderful, the bitching is good, but seriously, working together is so another case.
Anyways, decided to pop by M&S after lesson to snoop on the cereal, which equates to checking out if the bi-weekly shipment of my Triple Chocolate Crunch are now in stores; having such a tremendous craving for these wonderful grains! Turns out the cereal will be the only good news happening to me today, as There
ARE indeed shipment of my favorite cereals in stores. Immediately picked up 2 boxes, simply because my wallet cannot
tahan anymore cereals that costs a whooping 8 buckaroos for a box that gives
moi less than 5 servings.
Met “Jeremy’s Girlfriend” and my SMU-Bishan bitching buddy, the wonderfully stick thin anorexic looking Lauren and think she appears much more ravishing! Caught up with 2 months on bitching about her pre-BKK trip non existent love life and post-BKK trip blossoming love life with a tall guy (whom I caught a brief glance when he came to pick Laurie dah-ling for dinner), and of course, Lauren updated me on her BKK trip (with her friends and no, the new guy in her life did not tag along), and we both agreed that BKK is no longer good and conducive for shopping.
Creo quiero ir de comprar en otra (=I think I want to go shopping in another) country next time round!
So happy for Lauren, and of course, I am highly anticipating all the drama when her ex (whom she still shares a great amazingly wonderful platonic friendship) and her current boy toy meets in SMU! (Ex will be in this yr, with lover boy next yr) Dear Laurie, like I said, unlike Ursula (yes as in the name of Lil’ Mermaid Ariel
EVIL stepmother) Laura whom was in “blink and you’ll miss” split second on last year’s Miss Singapore, you’ll get all the attention even without resorting to participating in a pageant! Not to mention you are kind of a poster girl for SMU website on their Community Services Webpage! Take that you fake-American-twang-Ursula-whose-role-is-credited-as-Maid-No.-2-in-the-school-stage-play!
And what a day with surprises it was
para mi hoy(=for me today)! Saw Adeline desperately looking for a seat at MOS Burger and asked her to take our seat in MacDonald’s instead. Had a brief chat and soon parted way, and while on the bus, bumped into this old school mate and neighborhood mate of mine whom I’d not seen in ages, like in years! Chatted at bus stop (we both alight at the same one) and it is good catching up the good old times though mostly, our conversation revolves around school stuffs which are deemed more current than old nostalgic memories.
Finally reached home for Mum’s brewed sharks fin soup in superior chicken stock that tasted so good, it could have come out of the Crystal Jade Palace Restaurant! I am so glad to have a Cantonese mother whoprovides me with the best home cooked food I’ll ever taste!
But! Heard from mum that my nosy aunty (and for the record, I hate my Dad’s side of the family) had called up earlier to inform that Dad has some stone thingy in his stomach and apparently, he had been in pain for some days now.
Instead of starting to go all drama, which I usually like to behave in my everyday life, I reckoned that Dad’s a grown man, and being someone who’s always very particular anxious about his own health,( I mean, he just went to BKK for health screening at the posh hospital there 2 months back and it was from there that the doc told him abouth the stones. Besides, the last I heard when Mum called, he had been to China, Australia and Indonesian within the last 2 months after BKK for business trips, which of course are all actually more of a leisure nature.) he'll surely know wat to do for his follow up.
Mum was cool but I do sense some fear in her, she’s worried that he may be down with some tumor as she rationalizes that stones will not be that hurting and painful for a human being.
This is so freaky because Mum was just telling me to check the home title deed just less than 5 days ago to see if my name is included in it, but it turned out stating Dad as the sole owner, and now, it really worries us both. I mean, will we have a roof over us if he just goes
kaput? Mum had apparently told him to include my name in the deed, since Mum’s Malaysian and she cannot be placed in the deed, many years back and all she got was Dad yelling, ok, maybe
not yell, but telling, her that she’s cursing him to die, and the other reason being that if my name were to be included in the deed, then I will not be allowed another chance to buy my own flat in the future since no one citizen is allowed to own two flats. Just goes to show how important and essential planning for the unexpected is these days...
So typical of Dad – self centered and only thinks about himself, which in certain aspects, I do take after. He never plans for emergencies and always never thinks about others. Even at my age 5 years ago, I started putting Mum’s name as beneficiary for all of my investment and insurances; one can never know and expect what will happen to him/her split second later! Once again: Importance of contingency planning!!
Going to call him early tomorrow to find out more details, and hopefully, I will continue to have a shelter over my roof.
