superman,not

Slept for 20hours, and that is still not enough. Woke up about an hourish in between because promised the best friend to do a catch up session. But that didn't last long. Too tired, and i fell asleep again while replying his message, with the mobile still in grip.

Weekend is always a night mare. Been doing this superman job the 4th weekend now. Morning in the hotel, night at the thai's. I am nothing , without the assistance of the caffeines. When you have overworked yourself, you just don't feel like doing anything except staying in on your days off.

There was this wicked case at work yesterday. At the thai's , i was taking care of Section A&B, this old couple at their 40s at table #A3, had a bottle of Chile's Santa Helena Chardonnay. The lady ordered not to pour their wine as they would prefered to do it themselves. (Very clever, avoid from paying service charges)

They had a starter to share, and the same main, with a side portion of coconut milk rice. When colleague was doing her table checking, overheard the lady complained about her rice, - less cooked and soggy. How can less cooked became soggy? They had eaten the rice, almost 3/4, only let us know it wasn't cooked well. How clever was that? A portion became two, with the price of one. Human with brains. Very very clever.

When colleague got them another new bowl of rice, I did the checking see if they are alright with that. (Infact they are they same thing from the same rice cooker!)

"How is the rice, is everything alright for you ?" I asked reluctantly

(Deep inside i knew this woman want free stuffs)

"It's overcooked now! " she commented with annoyed tone.

Tolerate no more, I told her directly, the rice is actually same thing from the same rice cooker.

She was obviously embarassed and kept quiet after. Wanted to state that other customers are fine with theirs but why only you? Managed to kept cool. Well that wasn't exactly a complain. More like wanting to get free stuffs by giving us a hard time.

I know, there is no point arguing with people with such skills. In the end, it doesn't bring us any good. That is why, we often surrendered, but not always. Not really impressed with such diners.

i dont know what i feel anymore

A very hectic April has ended. Hello may.

Met my ex colleagues for lunch, one of the guys is leaving home for good in a month time. Had yo sushi at Harvey Nichols. Posh, classy and they classified it as rich guys' place. (not the sushi, the place. the shopping mall.) Woke up an hour before, rush hour- put on the same dress that i wore last week for lunch with hakka aunty. Didn't bother to dress up since i was late. Sun was literally glaring, hardly open my sleepy eyes. Very pleasant afternoon with the ppl, at least the topics i have some interests on. Basically work stuffs, how the x work place has turned to- since i left.

Thanks heaven i left early :) and the right choice i have made. The only regret i have, why didn't i made up my mind way earlier. Walked through Marc Jacobs, saw the bag i like. This time they have white. One and only. Feel like it's time for plastic card to do some work , but managed to hold back the sudden urge. No i told myself. I just spent £320 on a bag 2 weeks back. Sadly that bag isnt mine. It's for the queen.

After they left, went down to the high street and did some solo shopping. Less than an hour, i got myself 2 dresses, 1 cardi and 1 trench coat. How magic. And they are all beige.

Another day has gone. How quickly.

The recent issues still on going, probably enough to drown me. Perhaps it's time to sort out a get away. At least to a place i can peace my mind and do some blue sky thinking.
