Peach
[ 6:15 pm ] I know I've been complaining about the lack of time to do anything for a long time already ... I'll continue ... NO TIME LA! But, I got time to think :P I called up to cancel off one of my credit card since I was charged a ridiculous annual fee. Is this still practised? Are they dumb? Anyways, I told the S.Y.T over the phone that I'd like to cancel it. Actually, I wanted to convert it into a different card, but they didn't allow me to do it since it was tied to a certain airline brand ... but when you're losing a customer, anything goes hor? So, they were willing to convert the card and waive the annual fee (though I paid already, it should be credited next month). I'm beginning to believe it's a ploy by the banks to hire girls with sweet voices as credit card consultants .... how come I felt like I've been suckered .... I'm thinking of cancelling off my gym membership early next year. I've not been going to the gym at all these couple of months ... and I feel really out of shape and stamina. Yes ... although you don't see it, but I did gain a bit of weight. Quite easy to tell, it shows in the cheeks. Anyways, I rather be saving that money now or invest it into something. I'll just work out at home since Eric left me both his dumbbells. I went to get my suit tailored last Sunday together with Eric and Teng Leang. Suppose to be the both of us, but TL got lucky 'coz he could fit into the suit that Eric had. Anyways, we went to this old uncle in Sg. Wang ... ok la, maybe not that old, probably in his late 40s. Quite a friendly man, that's why I could remember him when we did our surveying few weeks back. I went in with a budget of 700 bucks (yes, I know you can get cheap tailored suits in Bangkok, but that's not an option for me), but the materials that he showed me were in the upwards of 900 bucks for a full suit. Eric heard him speaking Hakka to the other tailor and he mentioned that I could speak hakka as well :D You know, the only other time that I was proud of my mother tongue was when I was in KK 3 years ago. It was easy to communicate with the locals. Anyways, we spoke hakka all the way ... and I got my discount of 200 bucks ;) No complains from me :) I've never spent so much on clothing before ... and I'm broke. Like, really. We went out to meet up with Sunil yesterday night to get the flowers sorted out. I'm not a flower person, so I won't say I know much ... but I'm a colour person. There are finer details in the wedding that even I don't pay attention to, but some people do. Like the little flowers here and there, the chair, ribbons ... See, I just look at the big picture ... in a frame. If it looks nice in the frame, it just looks nice. I can't get into the minute details of things. Types of flowers? I'm gonna be in trouble when it comes my turn ... so as long the combination looks nice, I won't really care about the individual flowers. It's just a guy thing :P We like ... BIG PICTURE. Hahaha ... say only la, but I am quite particular .... I like these colours ... but it probably will look weird on a lot of things. I like other colours as well ... I can never make up my mind when it comes to colours, there's just too many possible combination and complements. I'm starting to like peach colour. Oh well, only when the time comes. I'm actually having fun designing the booklet for Eric's Wedding. I like designing ... printed materials. If the budget was higher and with more time, I think I can come up with something really good ... but sometimes guests don't appreciate the effort put into the booklets. Such a shame. Anyways, I'm hoping to get the day off starting on the 23rd all the way till the 5th of next year. This will give me plenty of time to complete whatever that needs to be completed. I told Sarah I can't do the Acts Kids website, I have too many things to juggle at the moment. 0 comments Archives nothing |
