I was having a meeting yest at 6pm, when my mobile phone rang. It was Wenda...she sounded really worried. She asked if I received any msg from Jeff. I didn't...and my heart beats fast. All kinds of tots went thru my mind "did anything happen to my dear Lena?"
TERRIBLY WORRIED!
She was being admitted to Mount A. Hospital. She had fever, which I was aware of...since the day we were supposed to meet last Thurs. She did msg me on Sat morning that she couldnt stand the fever...and felt terrible. Her fever hasn't been consistent. After seeing 3 diff GPs, she was finally admitted yest aftnn.
After Maghrib, I took a cab down to Mt A. (Fiz, I decided not to take 157! I'll be lost!)
It's been a long time since I went to the hospital..give me a creepy feeling actually. (Alisa...u must be so used to it!) Sweet Jeff was there too. He made a foolish mistake earlier...he tot Lena was at Mt E Hospital! Heehee...until he made a confirmation again with Lena. Too bad..our Sentosa trip on Fri is cancelled.
Sabrina n Wenda came abt 10mins later. And being in the medical line, the 2 ladies were checking out the eqpts and even the toilet! One is a drug rep, the other a corporate a/c exec. We left at 8.30pm and finally, I got to sit in Sabrina's new Nissan March. So comfy! I wish I can drive! (Yeah...I've not even sit for my last theory test!)
It was my off day today again! (I deserve it u noe!) After Subuh, slept thru till abt 10+...cos of my mum, who is not working at the stall today. The moment I saw her, I said "Mustaffa centre?" Of course, she's ON abt it. I juz wanna get some toiletries at the dept store.
12.30, we left for Little India. My mum wanted to go to Tekka Market to buy some meat but her fav shop was closed. So, she didnt buy any. She offered to go to the 2nd level to get kurta...and she specifically said TWO kurtas.
We walked ard before going to the usual shop. In 10 mins, I bought one top and she got herself 2 tops. I couldnt resist it cos I got the same top (diff color) with my colleague at Geylang at a higher price!
Then, she bought another after 5 mins. We finally reached the supposedly, our only destination to fulfil her wish to buy TWO kurtas. The owner took out all the colours which came in yest. And my mum took SEVEN! One of it was for my aunt who helps her at the stall, and another,for myself. So, ok..she bought FIVE! Then, while she was contemplating which colour to take for my aunt, I browse thru the punjab suits there. And I saw this very very sweet, pale green punjab suit with embroidery. I cant resist it!!!! It was simply LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
plus he gave me $20+ discount! I glared at mum n she smiled mischieviously. She looked like a small kid trying to get sweets. In abt half an hr, I spent more than $150! The bulk of the stuff was my mum's!!!
Then, we went to the Arcade, where we stopover to the sweet shop, bought our usual sweets (half a kg of "bera", and 2 "jelebi"). And my mum (again!) bought a $10 bag. My mum insisted on going to the VCD store dat Alisa n I normally frequent (not now!) Why not, since I've nvr been there for ages. And the guy was there. (my "boyfren?" accdg to alisa) he didnt realise i was there until he stopped doing his hsekeeping n turn to look at me. He asked "Off today huh? So free come my shop?" And of course, the usual question "Where's ur fren?" And talked to my mum abt some oldies songs. He insisted for me to buy all 6 but NO WAY! With my hands full with 4 big bags and my empty wallet?!!!
When I gave da excuse that I cant cos I spent too much, he said "not fair! come here to buy juz one CD." And he actually said I cant defend myself even though I've bought fr him tons of CDs cos that was "overdue"...one mth to be exact! Heehee...Alisa good luck wen u go there!
Finally, walked over to Mustaffa Centre and bought my toiletries. My mum wanted to go to the grocery section n so we did! A basket full of all kinds of stuff! Including a pair of slippers for myself (only $7).
Too hungry fr the walking, we took a cab home. I guess that's all for this month. I think I juz did my whole-mth shopping at Little India!
