HAPPY Birthday?

What a birthday. Before I start ranting about what a nightmare of a birthday I had, let’s talk about the positives shall we. I’d like to thank everyone who called, text, Facebook-ed… reminding me that I’m another year older. I still feel as if I just left uni, but in fact it’s been almost 3 years! And almost 10 years have passed since I left school. Its time for a reunion people!!!

Oh, and thanks to Ian, Hirda, Shaz, Aainaa and Yasir who came and celebrated with me that night. Thanks sayang for the beday pressie… I LOVE IT!!

Here is how it all started…

I woke up the next day, feeling dreadful and I know already that this is not going to be a good day. Today was the day I have to deliver some products to all the publications in town. And I know that it’s going to be tiring. So I decided to go to the office earlier to clear some emails, etc.

The moment I left my apartment, I was stuck in this really bad jam. Usually the jam would start a bit further down at Jelatek heading towards Jalan Ampang, but this time, on my birthday, the jam was soo bad that it took me like 20 minutes to just pass two traffic lights.

Then, things got worse. I was soo immersed in cursing and swearing about the jam that I didn’t notice that I had a flat tyre. Thank god this nice guy pointed it out, otherwise, habis koyak my rim. It was around 8ish so workshop belum open lagi. Had to wait for hubby to come and we switched cars.

Because I was late, I didn’t go to the office, so didn’t check emails. Whatever. Off I went for my delivery… after about 4 stops, then my shoe putus. So I had to wear this really uncomfortable kasut for my delivery. Then I noticed this other shoe pun macam nak putus. But I kept on wearing em coz I didn’t have a choice. The other shoe i had was a killer! Then, the other shoe pun gave up on me. Haih.

At about 4ish, we still had a few more stops for the day. I was excited to finish off a bit more today so that we could finish everything by tomorrow earlier. Happily I walked back to my car. I sat down and then “Prrakkkk”… my seluar koyak!!!

Because of that, I had to cut my delivery short. Went back to the office and cleared some urgent work. Even that turned out bad. Last Saturday client realised I made a boo boo and selected the wrong copy for this brochure that I’m working on. This was the biggest boo boo to top off my unlucky streak. I mean it was only one word that was wrong, but still... no one noticed it. Not even client when they approved it! haih..

So there. Some birthday eh?
