I got a big big scare yesterday!!!
For 2 hours, I thought I lost this…
And I was running mad to & fro … between home, office and the beauty saloon.
Searching high and low.
Thinking very hard of places I may have left behind… but then again I am never (touches wood) careless!!!
To keep myself calm while on the road… I think only of happy thoughts.
Dp is going to say: 身外之物 and would definitely agree to buy me another one to make me hate myself less.
I too think that its going to be very stupid to be buying the same watch AGAIN! So what about Black ceramic???
Or another brand another design???
Should I settle for a smaller new rock and spend rest of the budget for a new watch?
Wait a min… why should I settle for a smaller rock!??
think happy thoughts… happy happy thoughts…
Just when I finished turning my bed upside down… for the nth time…
I thought I should also turn bag inside out again too… though its visibly empty.
Then I saw a bulge in my bag… and suddenly remembered that there is a zipped hidden pocket…
AND THERE IT WAS!!!! Phew!
I was so happy that I had to wear the watch and run down to tell everyone who knew, I FOUND IT!!!
They were worried for me and feeling the same heartache.
The best part of this scary story was …
I was close to weeping to Dp over the phone… (“close to”… because I couldn’t quite believe myself that I am that careless!)
When he finally return home after my many calls…
he was happy to know that I found it… and said on his way home, he decided that a watch is 身外之物 & he was prepared to allow me to buy another piece to calm me or make me sleep better… (though I doubt I can and will continue to hate myself for months…)
I was happy because I know that he didn’t say it just because I found it. Great minds think a like eh?
And here’s My Favorite Village Boy!!!
I found him lying comfortably on the bench in our compound during work hours.
Seems like he’s been lying there for a while…and with his new bicycle near him,
I figured he cycled for awhile and decided to take a rest.
For sure, he loves his job and flexibilities.
Which reminded me of my dream, which was quite a nightmare…
I overslept on the bus and was running late for work (a dream job in a great company) and was waiting for a lift that never came.
And when I was finally at work, the office was in a dirty corner with 60s office furniture.
I met the Person-in-charge, who wants to test my accounting skills / experience… (I kinda panicked coz I have none!)
Then the question paper was some question on guess the next figure for the given sequence (like IQ qns)…
Just as I was cracking my head… the alarm went off…
Aaah! I woke up feeling happy that it was just a dream.
Coz in real life, I just walk to work, climb the stairs to the 5th level when I don’t feel like taking the lift.
Office furniture ain’t exactly state of the art but were pleasant enough…
the best bit, I don’t have to worry about being LATE or some stupid test!
That Monday, I had no Monday blues!
And Dp just walked into my office at 5.45pm, asking why didnt I call when I said I was going to…
He just woke up from his nap and break… which was suppose to end at 2.30pm…
Opps!
Well, the weekend is coming and people tend to forget things!
And totally unrelated…
The stores in Beijing are calling out to me, via SMS and e-mail!
Seems like the SALES have already started and I doubt there will be any left when I meet Ashley in Macau/Hong Kong… mid-July!
