Thanks

It might sound exaggerating, but I’ve been replying with “I’m devastated“ when people ask how I am.

It certainly helped that people around me are being exceptionally nice.

Cruz:
I just got into an accident. Buy me dinner to cheer me up.

Art:
Can eat dinner then shouldn’t be too serious lah. Hahaha.

Cruz:
I knocked into someone’s car. Pretty koyak.

Art:
Oh no! Not injured, I hope?

Cruz:
Heartbroken. Besides that, I’m fine.

Art:
Ok. I’ll buy you dinner.

“Huishi! I had meant to do this production after my facial. But I lang gar before the facial. And after spending three hours to settle everything, I forgot about the thing! Sorry sorry! I do tomorrow.”

“You take care hor? Don’t think too much. $5 can already.”

The cab driver who drove me home from Mazda overheard my conversation. He showed his sympathies by giving me a 20 cents discount from the fare.

“$700 for 2 weeks.”

Jan was quick to source for a rented car because neither Mazda nor my insurance company provided one.

“I’ll see you at your office.”

Ryan was kind enough to ferry me around during this transition period. I think my confidence has returned though, when I found myself on the first lane of SLE at 4 o’clock this morning.

“See you in 20 minutes.”

Jack was in Woodlands. Don and Jan were on their way to Orchard. I had initially rejected plans for mahjong on Fri night cos I was so tired from ten hours in the office. Because I announced much later that I couldn’t sleep, they abandoned all other plans and gathered at Don’s place for mahjong.

It’s a brand new week.

Good things will come. =D
