Drained out weekend



Didn't get to catch Sepet last Friday caused One was requested to go to the printing company to review to Company's annual report draft. Since the request came from Aunty Beast, One would never think twice to even say no. Hence, One had go dash to PJ at 5.30 pm in the midst of the Friday traffic. Luckily One knew the shortcut and managed to arrived in less than 30 mins.

"Reviewing" the annual report turns out to be a proof reading task. And it's not a simple and quick task either when it involves comparing the English report with the BM report. One's eyes couldn't make out the words properly by the end of the 2nd hour. It was a very looooong day for One who finally arrived home at 12 am..!!

After saying a quick hello to the regulars in Pok Ku's Chatroom, One had to excuse Oneself to get some shut eye...

Saturday was another looooong day for One, for One had to finish off some pending work for One's Tax Manager (old boss). Hence, by 10 am One was already settling oneself in the empty office. One was the only idiot working that day. And One was quite surprised that One can actually stayed on till 5pm (just like a typical working day). Luckily One's very thoughtful colleague was kind enough to buy One McD for lunch.. if not One would have settled for the cheese crackers One had stashed in One's drawer.

Even though One had spent hours in the office, One's list of work to do did not end there. Hence, One continued with the work at home on a Saturday night (yes... One leads a very boring life). By 1 am, One gave in to the tired eyes and aching back and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............

Planned to start early today but gave up because One's body begged for the extra hours of sleep. Finally wakes up at 11 am and left the house by 12 pm in search for wedding present for Jigga dude. His reception was at 1 pm and since One had a hectic week, One didn't have the chance to shop for his present.

One dashed to Ikano and walked straight into Aussino... It was heaven...... One suddenly felt rejuvenated surrounded by all the lovely, colorful bedding items. One was distracted by the low prices and was tempted to get one for oneself. An hour after that, One came out of Aussino with two bags, one was all wrapped for Jigga and another for oneself (hugs oneself...)

On the way to his house, One had a feeling that One had bought the wrong size of bedsheet for the newly weds.. and was One right about it.. Hence, One's effort to actually turn up to the reception bearing a gift was washed down the drain. Sorry dude.. have to take a rain cheque on the gift k..

Since it was a very blur day for One, One decided to take a short nap before going to Ikano to exchange the bedsheet. One's short nap turned into 3 hours of shuteye. But it was a very refreshing nap indeed.

Went back to Ikano at 8 pm and finally settled the gift problem. On the way to the car, One suddenly had the cravings for ice cream. Hence, One rewarded oneself with a double scoop "Chocolate Ecstasy", which was sooooooooooooooooo heavenly.........

That's one delicious way to end One's tiring weekend. One hope that the week ahead will be less hectic..


Binx: zzzzzzzzzzz...........
