The Blur infection
Blur Blur Blur!!!! Can't find any better word to describe the 2 significant events which happened yesterday and today.
I was late again, in meeting tony to go for our friend's karen's wedding. Was supposed to meet him at 6.45pm at a bus stop but somehow i only left home at 6.45pm, hurriedly slipped on my shoes and drove out, all the while noting the petrol meter hovering near empty. Not wanting to face the scenario of pushing the car along orchard, i went to a nearby kiosk to pump and i was just feeling all comfortable...when...wait a minute...
I dun remember that i was supposed to feel comfortable in the pair of leather shoes borrowed from my dad!! I looked down, and true to my gut feel, i was in my pair of outing shoes, which i've so faithfully and comfortably slipped on in these past few days of worklessness. So i zipped all the way home, changed my shoes and i think i must looked quite comical coz my mum's friend actually laughed at me. Sigh...
Karen's wedding was not bad and table attendance was like only 8 and so for once in a banquet, i actually felt extremely full at the end of it all. The only thing lacking in the wedding was the lack of more boistorous friends, friends who do not mind making a fool of themselves to make your day, as it was evident in the traditional yum sing where most of the noise came from stage! Sad right? Just makes me want to include those artificial yum sing sound with digital dolby 3D surround sound for my own wedding in future man!
And the 2nd stage of the blur infection happened today. While waiting for my mum to do her physiotherapy, i had my mind on registering my referral letter for a visit to the podiatrist, even though my appointment was supposed to be on the 30 Jan. Just wanted to double check that my appointment was keyed in.
I passed the letter to the lady and she checked for me and she actually couldn't find the records! I was a little bit stunned too, and in a little bit of frustration,
I asked her, "How can such a thing happened? I called the lady and she gave me that appointment and i even asked her if this letter was valid for 6 months!"
The receptionist was at a loss and she said she would get her colleague to check and after 5min, her colleague called me to make another appointment since they couldn't find any fixed appointment for me. And again, i repeated what i said to this other receptionist.
And she was puzzled and asked me which number i called. I looked for it frantically on that referral letter and pointed it out to her. She exclaimed that that wasn't the number for their hospital!
At that point, i was visibly shaken and going into a state of shock soon. Immediately, my eye zoomed in on the name of the hospital and i saw..."TAN TOCK SENG HOSPITAL". A humongous "OOPS!" was uttered in my thoughts and just at that moment, the receptionist decided to give that number a call...
To save myself from further embarrassment, i gamely admitted that i made a mistake and made a hurried exit from that place....
Blur Blur Blur!! I've never been so blur in my life!! Must have been going out too often with my friends liao...hahahahahaha joking!
all right, all enjoy yourselves
