24 hours before London

Comments (6) La la la

I think i did myself GOOD today!

I woke up at 7:40AM cos i had a call with someone from the States at 8AM KL time. It was an interview of sorts to attend Awesomeness Fest, and i’m in yay! After Lara told me i’m accepted, i thought, “crap. do i even have money for this. i’m putting everything into a small business in June. And i have to renovate the new apartment in third quarter. And start paying mortgage with Clem.” Then i thought i’m sure i can suck it somehow… it’ll be an expensive year but it’s all going towards something that will progress myself further! Okay i’m just being positive, trying not to be too chinaman and counting all my money, and letting the universe handle it…

After paying USD1200 for my ticket, i cooked myself a scrambled egg with leftover potatoes. Then got ready to make my way out after the morning traffic. Went to the LHDN office in Damansara Perdana to do my taxes. Yes, i had to do my taxes on the LAST DAY i possibly could before going away. And yes, i had to go there cos i blinking forgot my PIN password. Again.

I queued up for 45 minutes just to find out my password. And discovered that i actually KNEW it all along. I want to kill myself sometimes. Did my taxes, paid for it online, felt even poorer, and left.

Went to Bangsar to grab myself a quick lunch alone, then a nail appointment. Let’s face it, i’m going to lots of dinners and things in London and i’m not gonna let my manicure look shabby. By that time, it was 1:30pm and i was falling asleep in the soft chair there. I skipped my pedicure cos i ran out of time, and went to BSC to buy a last minute present.

Dropped by my office to pick up a cheque. Went to bank, paid some LHDN fine (it was RM130. My dad said it’s so little that it’s better to just pay and not question. Trudat.) Banked in some cheques. Confirmed that my ATM card can work overseas.

Went to parents’ house. Took back my spoilt camera lens from my mum, passed her a book, grabbed some extra sweaters and tights for the cold weather from my old room.

Went to Sunway Giza where i usually change money. For the first time, the money changer spoke casually to me and said, “You are always traveling!” I ducked into Times bookstore to get a last minute present #2. Went to the supermarket to grab some chicken to cook dinner for Clem since i’d be away for 3 weeks. Also got toilet paper cos god knows he’d never notice it’s the last roll and what will he do when it’s done. Also got Y some chili sauce (it’s not Taste Me sorry!).

Bought some chili pan mee on the way home cos i always get hungry around 5pm.

Arrived home and lugged all the stuff i accumulated throughout the day upstairs. Chucked the chicken into the fridge and dug into my chili pan mee.ย Wrapped presents to pack. Prepared roast chicken using all the leftover herbs and vege i had in the fridge else i’d be returning to rotten stuff. Boiled potatoes and peeled them for mash potatoes cos Clem insisted he wanted some -_-

And now i’m blogging a bit before we eat and THEN i have to PACK FOR REALZ.
