My Day Off

Today is Wednesday... I usually meet Anni, my Finnish friend, for a date.We don't do it every Wednesday because it's either she's busy or I'm away. But everytime we meet, it's on a Wednesday.

We did something different today. We went to Sunway Pyramid. Her husband drove us there. Had lunch at Tony Romas. I had beef rib steak... Tony Romas has the best beef steak in town, I tell you. I simply loved it.

While having lunch, I was telling my friend I do paid blogging. She asked what that was. I said I write reviews for a company and they pay me. And she wowed at it. She asked me how much do I get? I said for 60 words, one link, I get 5$. Then she LOL'ed. She actually thought I was getting 50$ for a post. LOL. Well, what can I say? Finland is the richest country in the world (if not one of the richest). So 5$ is probably nothing to them.

After lunch, we both went to British India. And I gawked at the sight of it... 70% sale. I felt like Rebecca of Confessions of a Shopaholic. I must take advantage of the sale... as I always do at British India's. Of course I was already planning to buy me at least one top today. So I did. And I was happy with my buy.

I had a whole day to spare because Peter decided he could work at home. But Anni had to leave early. So at 2pm, I saw her off at a Taxi stand.

Then I walked back inside Sunway Pyramid to shop for Samantha's baby doll. But my feet took me to TGV Cinema... just to see what's showing. And again I gawked when I saw that Confessions of a Shopaholic was still showing. It was 2:15pm. The show starts at 2:30pm. I was alone. What was I doing? But my interest in seeing the movie overcame me. So I did. And laughed my heart out... like a real crazy girl I was coz I was alone watching the movie.

After the movie, I remembered I had to buy Samantha's Baby doll. I went to Toy City because they had cheaper toys. I was happy to see they had a cheap baby doll. Found a medical kit for Schenker as well. I didn't have enough cash. So I decided to use my credit card... only to be disappointed because their machine wasn't working. Good thing I didn't plan to go to other shops to buy sports gifts... otherwise it will be more disappointing.

So I decided to walk around and look for card reader for my Sony Camera (yeah, poor me, I don't have DSLR yet). It was easy to find. I gave my credit card to pay for it. BUT their machine wasn't working either. What's wrong with their machines? What's wrong with Sunway Pyramid? Hmmm... It's probably my credit card. What's wrong with me today? I felt so unsuccessful.

So I came back home. Took a cab. The driver was a Malay guy. He started talking to me and saying something about USJ 18. I thought I was smart enough and answered him.. but in English. My answer must be wrong. So he said... oh, you're not Malay. And I said "yeah, everbody thinks I am Malay." He asked me whether I was working. I said no. A student? I said no again. "I said my husband is Malaysian so I live here."

Later he said... ahhh I thought you were single that's why I asked whether you were working. Long pause. Then he said... because lots of Filipinos are working here... you know, at the night club. That made me grimace. Are we that bad? But I just said... "yeah, I know." What else was there to say?

Anyways, I was happy I made it home safe. I was also happy to remember Anni when she said my full name was the most beautiful name she's ever heard. It made my day and I didn't wanna ruin it by careless remarks.

So that's it for my day off. Hope you all had a good day today!

it's me,
