As expected, I didn't spend my Wed holiday rotting at home.

First I had to go to SPH to pick up 2 copies of the last 2008 issue of IN, and some ______.

Before leaving, I:

(a) spilt a drink.
(b) cursed my umbrella.

I went with my mum to SPH.
I'd to call Kris regarding the newspapers, and this very accomodating guy by the name of Firdaus picked up.
And in the end he got the papers and gave them to me at the lobby.

Note: There were tons of people at the lobby. I'm saying tons because there were more people than I was used to seeing. Well, they looked foreign..wonder if they had anything to do with our overseas trip..

After that, I called Alice regarding the _____ and the call went to voice mail. So, I decided to go the receptionists.
As the email stated.

The receptionists were really nice and kind, despite the fact that I was an i-----!
Well, they gave me a pass to get through the doors at SPH, because I had to go and find Alice on my own. Har-dee-har-har.

So I ran/walked, and eventually found this big newsroom, which was actually behind a bleeding hidden door.

It was so weird. I found the first lady, and asked her where I could find Alice. Bless her, man.
Told me where to find her.

Mind you, I was mentally prepared to be lost in that behemoth of the office.
I found Alice, who was another nice woman.

After everything, yes, I did get lost.

I was walking around trying to find the right door, cos all the damn doors looked the same!!!!

As I happened to be rounding this particular corner, a guy in a blue shirt poked his head to see where I was going. Ha, i knew it.

I went to find a lady, stupid me, i should have known.
She wasn't old.
she was a spring chicken all caked-up with make-up.
Talking to her clone friend.

I asked her,"Excuse me, where is the way out?"

She: "Uh, you see, that Exit there, yeah you just go there."

I: Ok. Thank you.

And as I walked away, the sycophant (lav that word) said to her friend,

"Then how did she get in?"

Sigh.
I will shamelessly admit I have my stupid moments when the situation and my state of mind least calls for it.

As I was walking towards the Exit door, the guy in blue came out (good pun, because i thought he was ---) and he even had the BLEEDING CHEEK TO SAY TO HIS COLLEAGUE:

"Eh, coming, coming."

WHAT
THE
HELL.

WHO SAYS you're treated like royalty when you're a journalist. that's wrong and i've always expected that because heck i love challenges that allow me to embarrass myself a little bit. you're treated the same way you would be at any other company or place.

And he gave this bleeding fake smile and said

"Hello, how may I help?"

And I said, in my most insolent voice my manners could allow,

"I'm going..out!?"
if you want a demo, i'd be glad to offer it.

And he said,

"Oh! Okay..."

Putting that episode behind me, Mum and I left SPH.
We finally decided to go to CCK. Then i complained that it may be too boring and so we went to WM.

We went to McCafe, to get a mocha frappe for myself. We wanted to get a seat, so we waited for this middle-aged lady to finish up the last 5 ml of her icecream. She stared at us with her malevolent eyes, purposefully scraping none of her icecream at all.

Sigh.

So went to WM, where we ate...

Yada. Then we browsed some shops. Saw this fantastic long tee at T&S with a sequinned zebra, yeah, i love sequins of certain colours, but it had chalky marks which i didn't like.

We went to Harvey Norman..and ....

I saw the Lenovo s10.

In the flesh. (in the chassis, really..)

I practically froze when I saw it. I'm serious!

I didn't expect it to be there, because only last week the staff has said they'd ordered it and were waiting for it.

It looked gorgeous. It was the white model..

Took two pix, but there's smth wrong with the usb connection and the pix are refusing to make it onto the pc.

Wow.........
