Yup. Yes. Miss couch potato loves her favourite beach chair where she sits in a semi-supine position watching TV (DA CHANG JIN & world cup!!!) and reading tragedy books. LoL.
Work has been more demanding lately. With me taking up lunch time slots in place of another employee on leave for two days. Lunch time slots spelt disaster for me. Why? Because i've never done lunch time before. And I was TOXIC on the first day!! Darn it. Even Don asked me whether I bathed in the morning, cos i brought all the "bad luck" Hahaa. Great. I made tons of mistakes as usual.
Not knowing what Darjeeling was, I looked quizzically at the customer who told me it was a tea. Oops. How embarrassing.
And tomorrow night, boss will be bringing his friends over for a meal. Darn! I'm screwed. Hahaa.
And Don was telling me how "lucky" i was this week. Thanks man! ha~~~~
And yesterday, I went out with wendy to check out the prices of food for her bday bbq. We also went shopping around for von's pressie.
Then we went to check out the prices for massage that wendy wanted. We weren't planning to do it that day. But somehow we were lured into it. Haha!
We both did a 30mins shoulder, neck and foot massage for 22bucks.
And adding to the many embarrassments this week....... It was my first foot massage. The woman said its gonna be women who will do it for us. Wendy got a aunty. And i had a guy(in his late twenties) massaging my feet! ANd it was damn itchy!! I couldn't help but laugh. The guy also laughed with me. No, actually, he was laughing at me. Then through out the whole process, he was studying my face which made me feel uncomfortable that i kept looking up at the ceiling. And he knew which spots which got me fidgeting and itchy. So when he does those spots he'll start looking at me and smiling evilish as i tried to hold my laughter. Then when i just started laughing away, he said with a grin, "going to burst soon liao hor". Hah~ Even wendy was laughing at me. Hmph. The aunty didn't study wendy's face as much as the guy does to me. Arrggh. Next time i shall request for a female one.
But well, the massage was good tho. The shoulder and neck one was painful but really relaxing.
Wendy and I had a great night's sleep after that. =)
Digressing...as i usually do.
Got this in an email.. reminded me about the things i heard from cyn when we were talking about travelling and hotels. So believe it or not... the decision is all yours.
OK, here's some news from my friend who works in hotels for20years:Every single hotel, there shall be at least a permanent room whichshould be left vacant at all times. No matter how full the hotel is,they are not to sell that room(s) to any guest. It is said that the specialroom was "reserved" for those "special visitors". So, if you plan to stay in some hotel, always book in advance. Try toavoid walk in. If the receptionist told you there's no more roomavailable, do not insist one anymore or try to bribe them to give you a room. If you do that, most of the time the room you have will be that"special room". Sometimes those "special visitors" might go to other rooms also, so here's some tips on how to protect yourself: Before entering your room, always knock on the door first, even youknow the room is vacant. After you enter the room, if you feel very cold suddenly and have"chicken spores", leave the room quietly immediately and go to receptionto request to change room. Most of the time the receptionist will understand what's happening.After you enter the room, immediately switch on all of the lights, and open the curtain to let the sun light in.Before you go to bed, arrange your shoes so that one of them is upsidedown. Some say this is representing yin & yang to protect you while you're asleep.Always leave at least a lamp on while you're sleeping, preferably thetoilet's lamp.If you're staying alone and they have given you a twin bed, do not sleep with the other bed vacant, try to put your things like luggage onthe other bed before you sleep.Please pass this info to those who travel.
