This feisty lil Bitch has horns!

This sucks! Intersem break is coming to an end and I am still stuck with so much assignments, projects and revision to do!!! It's neverending. *pulls at whatever hair I have left on my head*

No wonder my menstrual cycle is going haywire too. I had my period at the start of this month, and three days ago, my period came again. Sigh...

*****

Anyway, I went out this morning to do some business. Took a cab to wherever I was heading to. As usual, the cabbie uncle made small talk with me in a mixture of the hokkien dialect and mandarin.

Cabbie Uncle (CU): Wah! I actually wanted to turn left, but I saw you standing by the roadside, hailing a cab, so I quickly turn right. Heng ah..

Me: *give a big grin* Haha.. Oh is it? I see...

CU: Aiyo! You don't know ah.. Nowadays very difficult to make a living out of driving a cab in Singapore.

Me: *frowns* Umm.. Ok.. But Uncle, despite the oversaturation of taxis ah, sometimes I gotta wait so long for taxis. Sometimes, I can't seem to see any available taxis around.

CU: Tsk tsk.. You people forever so many complaints. Can never be satisfied one. You must understand us cabbies and be patient. Of cos, you have to wait for available taxis lah! Then what you want?! The moment you stretch out your hand, can hail a taxi immediately ah?

Me: *smiles politely* Umm.. Of cos not... But...

CU: *interrupts rudely* You say correct or not?! Not that Uncle want to grouse ah, ...

And yeah, you get the idea. So many times I wanted to elaborate and explain my words, he cut me off immediately. So obviously, I got the hint and let him rattle on while I watch the cars, trees and buildings pass by me on the road. After a while, he realised I was not responding, and his monologue kinda died off too.

Silence is golden.

However, my happiness was short-lived.

CU: What are you working as now?

Me: I'm a student.

CU: Wah! Still a student ah? Where are you studying at?

Me: A local university.

CU: Oh, no wonder. Still young lah. Give you another ten to twenty years to gain work experience in the society, then you will understand how Uncle is feeling now. No lah, I think another you will see my point in another five years.

Me: *smiles politely again* Orh.

CU: Luckily, my children are all grown-up already. I am driving a taxi now so I won't add on to my children's burden.

Me: I see.

CU: Still so young, no wonder you keep quiet and have nothing to say. Young lass, count yourself lucky to have met me and heard my words of wisdom. I am giving you a very valuable lesson now ok. Don't let my words enter one ear and exit from the other ah.

Me: Ok, Uncle. $5.70 right? Thank you. Bye.

Is that convincing enough, proof enough, that I am the type of girl you can bring home to meet your parents? Then what are you waiting for?! Grab StephieD now while she is still available!

Bad example of a sales gimmick.

Ok, after settling my business, I went to get some freshly baked Famous Amos cookies for my friends to thank them for lending me a helping hand. I seriously have no idea which type of cookies my friends like. Hence, I trusted my intuition and got them each a bag of mixed Chocolate Chip & Pecan cookies and Chocolate Chip & Macademia nuts cookies. Ermm.. Kinda burnt a hole in my pocket, but was well worth it. Then I happily took the cookies and went to meet them at their workplace.

Needless to say, we were all euphoric to see each other after a long time. Saw their new working cubicles and they were awesome! And my intuition was spot-on! They love the type of cookies I got for them. Haha... I am such a genius. Sat down to have lunch together and had a little chit-chat. Wasn't able to stay long because I wasn't a staff there, so I left after an hour.

After which, I went to my aunt's place to help my little cousins with their CA1 revision and also to catch up on whatever work I have to do.

So stressed. I am sooooooo stressed.

I wish I could be like my Xiao Dou Dou...

Life is all about food, play and sleep.

Hakuna Matata.

I wish.
