Over And Under

I had a weekend that I was muchly looking forward to. Like everything over-anticipated, it has that Murphy feel to blow up in my face.

I woke up by 7 am and then found out at 7.25 am that the person going on this trip decided to cancel on me.


Some people are callous.


Which makes me wonder how am I going to bounce back from this.
How how how?


So what I did was spend Saturday at home, mopping around and being totally pathetically sorry about my weekend and did something about it in the evening. I went on a solo adventure to make it to The Curve. I wanted to spend some money.

Deslex knew when my plans got cancelled, he knew I was going to go out for some retail therapy. But then again, in many things I am very predictable. So I am. So I be.


On Saturday evening alone on the free shuttle, I received Laine's call for an invitation to her place on that very same evening. I decided to go. It should be good to go be with people in the state and condition I'm in. (or so I tot)

Saturday night at Laine's had the entire Embassy over at her place. (almost) And 6 asian faces. That's us.

The night ended early for all 6 of the asian faces. I didn't wish or wanted it to have been that way. Lord knows I wanted very much to have my Melaka weekend. And something to do on a Saturday night would have been very nice.


Plus this weekend there was no Jules, there was no Jerri Berry.. which was the best time for me to go away on a Melaka weekend. But because I did'nt expect my weekend cancelled, I ended up having no family or friends around me. I know I'm screwed. But I had to salvage my weekend.

I bought a pair of crocs. (again)
I bought countless pairs of earrings. (again)
I bought a top from MNG. (a first)

On Sunday, I woke with a wonderful thought. My sis is coming back from The Land of Cheap DVDs. But because the two loving Tom and Jerri Berry went on their little active scooter, it is going to take them... a very long time to get home. Sigh.

I woke up all morning and stayed enthusiastic.
I even took my mom out to buy dinner. Just two of us, taking the train, spending an hour together. I wanted to do this coz I know it's a dinner my sissy would enjoy.

At 6 pm, my dad announce they've arrived. And I ran downstairs to receive them. I was so happy to see her I was almost crying (besides the fact that she's bringing me Jack Season 6) And I told her, "I didn't have lunch coz I wanna have big dinner with you! Let's go upstairs and eat eat eat!"

I'm glad I have a sister like her. And I wish sometimes she be glad she has a sister like me. I mean, I am what I am. And I am how I am. I try to be better. But sometimes it's not like there was any point to it.

I immediately started on the CSI Season 7 last 4 episodes and Heroes Season 1 last 3 episodes. And my Sunday didn't end till it was Monday.


For it not for Tom and Jerri Berry, I would have been very sad and practically crying all weekend.
