Dragging my feet on Saturday

I thought I would have a lazy and easy weekend. Firstly, my 7am brekfast friend really didnt text me on Saturday to ask if we can have a quickie. Ops! I mean a quick breakfast. Now I miss his 06:50ish text lol. Then I remember my appointment at 09:00 so with a heavy feet, I dragged myself out of my comfort nest.

Appointment really went well and by that I meant it was really at 09:00 hrs and not an hour later. I was done in under two hours. Driving around Gadong can be a nightmare on Saturday or any other day actually. I regretted going 'inside' the commercial area and was soon caught up by traffic. Great! I hate traffic. I dont think I can survive cosmopolitan cities but hey, they have great public transport system, yes?

Say that we are caught in an hour in such situation. With that time, we can:

1/ Bake a cake and still have time to decorate the cake with icing and what-have-you;
2/ Run on the treadmill and cover five kilometer;
3/ Burn up to 400 calories on the treadmill, depending on your speed ;);
4/ Watch CSI back to back;
5/ If you are a Muslim, you can recite up to 3,000 of the short zikir;

What else? hehe..

So by lunchtime Saturday, I was tired with all the excitement of the traffic jam.At 2pm, a friend text me to remind me to go Giants as there was a credit card roadshow by HSBC. Not that I wanted to apply for one but my friend's asking if I can accompany her. 'Now that you are 'free'er,' she said. I know she meant well.

Again I dragged myself there because I thought I could spend the afternon taking a catnap to freshen myself. It turned out to be fun at the roadshow with lots of people to watch..hehe. Thats what I normally do, watching people and trying to connect what their personalities are like. One of my friends did sugest that I switch career and become a psychiatrist. Maybe lol

By five my energy level was already low and there was this buzzing sound in my brain that asked me to recharge. I did. Slept well until...oh another buzz from another friend. Funny thing she knew I was in slumberland and started her text by saying:'Hey sleepy head. Wake up and smell the coffee. Coffezone?'

For the third time in a row that Saturday, I had to literally lift my legs to go out. So there we were at Coffeezone, drinking just a latte for hours, without feeling guilty to those who were looking for seats. Cruel? Everyone's doing it right?

So, another chance for me to be in a public place..watching at people and thinking of their 1,001 chracters while my friend was looking for cute, handsome guys. She's picky, very choosy that girl and I did tell her once that unless she picks one she will never get into a serious relationship at all. Her answer?

"Well, you have gone through several bad ones and seriously, those really scare the h*** out of me."

Ouch!

We ended our night watching err, This is it, again for the second time in a week. Have you guys seen that movie? MJ is the best world-class entertainer and he will surely be missed.

And, I didnt remember him for more than 24 hours...yes, that was an achievement.
