Thanks to the 8 1/2 hours black out

… cause I manage to do the following things which I won’t be doing on the usual day:

Went to the wet market with Mum
Recently my Dad has been telling me the same thing over and over again,”Eh other people’s daughter will accompany the mother to wet market but I never see you doing so?” And, he continued to answer it himself,”I know la, other people’s daughter might be too free while you have tonnes of work to do. You are your own Boss and your own worker, Sunday also need to work sometimes.” So, since we had black out since 8am, I followed my Mum to wet market after breakfast.

Continue reading the motivational book that I won – Great Failures of the Extremely Successful
I had read 3/4 of the book few months ago but somehow lost the interest to read any books/novels/chiclits. So, the book has been sitting in my drawer for 2 months or so. If the black out wasn’t scheduled to happen today, I guess I won’t be touching the book anytime soon. It feels good to continue reading it, as I am very much in need of some positive input now. Life isn’t smooth for the past week, except on the job side.

The trip to Redang seems not going to happen cause Laguna Redang Resort is fully booked (the travel agent said so) except the suite room (which cost twice than the standard room). It’s a long story of unpleasant experience with another travel agent. A week in KL is not fun at all. Hence, I need to think of other alternative (read: other travel destination, either in Malaysia or somewhere near the country, but obviously not Thailand) and to make thing worse, our departure day is less than 3 weeks away. And, it is on middle of June the peak season! Ugh.

Shopping with Mum
Today’s blackout has been informed on the newspaper 2 days ago, so I suggested to go Sun Plaza since I am looking for a dress. Remember I have two wedding receptions to attend this weekend and Monday? And, after doing wardrobe survey, I think I only have 1 decent dress. So, off we go for hunting. We went in to at least 20 boutiques and still can’t find the dress that I like and suits me. First, it is either the dress is too casual or it is too much (more towards gown). Second, it doesn’t have my size or I look too skinny in it.

Actually, I saw one cute-short-white-dress-with-pink-bow but Mum complained that it is shoulderless. She scared that the dress might drop off since I am too skinny. -___-” I finally found one, not like what I imagined but it is not bad. I definitely gonna get that cute-short-white-dress-with-pink-bow after I manage to fatten myself.

After 3 hours shopping (included having a short break at Es Teler 77 and enrolling into Unicef program), we headed back home. Few minutes after that, the electric was back. Yay!

I feel so much better now compare to the mood this morning. Thanks to the blackout, I can have a different routine than usual.
