Bad Day

Anything that could possibly go wrong, went wrong.
Anything that could possibly irritated me, irritated me.
Anything that could possibly make my day bad, made my day bad.

First of all, I had a nightmare! Crazy nightmare lah. Lately, I've been having a lot of dreams of animals leh. Last week, I had a dream that someone gave me a rabbit for my birthday. Scene was in uncleJ's old house. Surroundings more or less the same. Then the rabbit was free to run around, in and out of the gate, until it decided to pee next to the main door. Someone in the dream got so mad at the rabbit but I rushed in to defend the poor helpless rabbit. Then I woke up. So that was it.

Then today was another dream, erm... more like nightmare. In the nightmare, I owned 2 dogs and 1 furry cat. Brought them out for a walk. The 2 dogs were happily playing with each other at the side of the road. The cat felt lonely and decided to wander away. Wandered onto the road, I saw it and quickly tried to catch it back. Caught the cat and brought it back to the pavement together with the dogs. Then the cat felt bored again and walked on to the road again. I tried to catch it, but it managed to struggle free cause it was so furry and it dashed across the road. Unfortunately, it was run over by a tank. Don't ask me how come a tank was there... I also can't explain. Anyway, I think its a tank or something with those kind of wheels. Somehow, the cats head was caught in the wheels and it got squashed. After the tank moved on, all thats left was the unsquashed cat's body lying on the road. I felt so guilty. Felt so bad, emotions ran high and I was wailing my lungs out.

I woke up only to find myself crying. I told myself, its just a nightmare and I promptly went back to sleep peacefully.

Woke up and went to prepare to go to the dentist. I was late. Then to make things worst, the train stopped at the station and the announcement came on that there would be a delay. Then by the time it reached the interchange, and I walked to change trains, I missed the one by just 30 seconds. Darn! That 30 seconds cost me an extra 8 minutes of waiting time.

Doc checked my braces and said that one of it has been dislodged. Scared me lah! I thought he was talking to me and telling me that my tooth has been dislodged. I think I "huh?" very loudly. Hahaa.. But he was actually talking to the nurse to ask her to get new replacement bracket for me. I had to endure extra spine chilling things cause my teeth were moving too fast. So doc needed to put a stopper to keep it together. Asked what colour I want, I said I wanted green and orange for the festive mood. I know orange isn't really the christmas colour, but then, I don't want red lah, red leave for next month for Chinese New Year. With the stopper in place, I was done and could leave. Doc told me cause of the stopper, he said, "you should only eat soft, small pieces of food for the time being." When I heard the words 'time being', I asked how long would that be since my birthday and X'mas is around the corner. He replied, at least 2-3 months. MONTHS?!?!?!??? Did I hear wrongly? I couldn't believe my ears and wanted to confirm again. "Har!!! Months ar?" Ya... I didn't hear wrongly.

Went to have lunch with godma. Wah liao eh... I practically can't eat anything in the food court except sliced fish with rice. Cause of the stopper, my mouth can't close properly, so can't chew. I just put swallow my rice without chewing lor. Suddenly, rice is my new best friend.

Then went to those bread toast shop. Saw they had this cupcakes which I used to eat when I was a little girl. So I wanted to try. As I was queueing, godma came and told me something bout soft bread. So... Thinking that she was referring to the cupcakes, I ordered soft bread. Then I saw them talking the bread and placing it on the toaster. I knew it was wrong and too late to change. But the bread is quite nice.

Walked around the Orchard with godma. Went to pay up for the workshop event. Then went to the Kino to find some books. After that, godma left and I had about 2 hours to kill before meeting Lynn for the makeover.

Decided to go to the library. Couldn't find the books I wanted, ended up reading other types of books. Till Lynn called to say she would be late and I should go for the earlier slot.

My first reaction when the sales person did my foundation was YUCK! They were using this pathetic latex sponge measuring less than 2cm on each side which was overused. Clearly any idiot can tell that they never change it. I mean like for hygiene reasons, if you wanna use such a small sponge, at least change new one lah. Or if you use a big sponge, use the clean sides for each person lor. But no choice, before I could even say anything, she was already applying foundation even before the toner/moisturizer could even dry off! Problem number two cause that may cause clogged pore! Wah liao!
Other than that, the makeover was quite nice, I love the glittery eyeliner.

Then Lynn had to leave to go elsewhere. I went to buy some bread for dinner.

Damn it... I got accused of trying to cheat them. See, I was buying just one item at $1.30. Then when I approached the counter, there were 2 cashiers there. There were some promo items where you buy 2 at $2 instead of usual price. So I asked one of them if I could mix items, they said can. So I took one of each. Then it was my turn to pay. The one who packed my items told the other one what were I picked. Items came up to $2.50. I paid $5 and got back only $0.50 change. So after taking the change which was much lesser, obviously I would move aside to check the receipt instead of hogging the cashier area right? Receipt showed that I was charged for my first item at $1.30 and the full price of 1 promo item at $1.20. Total came up to $2.50 instead of $3.30. So according to the receipt I should get back $2.50 change mah. Then I went back to find the cashier and told her the mistake. She double checked my items and said that I should pay her back $0.80 instead. I said that she only returned me $0.50 why should I pay more? She made a big fuss out of it even when I told her nicely. Then the other cashier asked her whats going on. Insisted that she gave me $2.50 change and accused me of keeping the $2 before coming back to check. Bloody hell. Accuse me of petty theft? That made me so pissed that I wouldn't even let the whole thing even if its just 10cents. Cause if I did, that would really make me look like I'm trying to cheat them which I wasn't.

The cashier is a bit brainless! I mean, think of it from an employee's point of view, if you undercharge a customer, the customer can happily and quietly walk away. At the end of the day of accounting and the amount doesn't tally, maybe you have to top up the extra from own pocket right? So if customer comes to tell you that the amount has been charged wrongly, shouldn't you be happy that they are honest enough and that you don't have to pay the company for your mistake?
True that sometimes customers may not be always right. But it is probably basic manners to ask properly instead of indirectly accusing customer of committing petty theft immediately right?
A bit brainless is probably an understatement.
So much for PM Lee's vision for better customer service.

The glitter from the face was damn hard to remove. I cleaned off the make up very well, wiped my face twice, scrubbed my face once, cleansed it twice and still its there. PoWeR!
