Filling time

Was anticipating the arrival of 31st of Jan for sometime….you know why? Because that’s the day one of my bestest friend would be done with work and would go on a shopping spree with me. Despite the anticipation, overslept our 11 am date due to insomnia from the previous night. First stop, headed to the post office in Tesco to mail off the keys of my ex apartment room back to the landlord. The queue didn’t seem to be that long but when I took a number..it was 1182…but on screen it was only 1128. Ah horror. Decided to make use of time and had lunch with Adelyn. Couldn’t believe I had mix up the keys the first time. Kinda got Jane June in trouble with the freakishly demanding landlord. Threatened not to give back the deposit due to delay of one key…ishk. Anyway, glad that was over and done with. Still feel sorry for Jane June for having to bear with the constant taunting.

Finally reached Queensbay in one piece, after enduring Adelyn’s driving and parking. Actually she’s not that bad after all, manage to do side parking in the busiest corner in Penang at the end of the day. Bravo girl..way to go. After that, what else to do but to shop. The moment we entered the first store we knew were gonna take ages before we actually manage to finish even one floor. For two girls…we really did a lot of shopping. And we didn’t even manage to conquer that one floor. Hehe. Finished up in an unexpected stop where I got my face plastered with face powder by an over enthusiastic saleslady till I looked as white as a geisha. After mopping up my face, depositing our finds for the day, Adelyn and I decided to hang up our little aching feet while waiting for the rest of the gang to arrive in Swensen’s for dinner. Ice cream and good company what else could I ask for?

Even though it has been ages since I’ve seen some of my friends, it’s great to know that I don’t always have to start by asking those common challenging questions like “How are you doing?” .For us girls, the start is always more like “Have you heard about so and so ?” Can’t classify it as gossip but rather say that it’s sharing of information. But the funniest moment of the day was when a blur friend replied to a question..

Friend A : Hey where to find pirated …?(dot dot dot was the exact words uttered)

Blur Friend : Pirated what? Porn ar ?

How dot dot dot became porn. I have no idea. But for the record it meant dvds.
