Sat pagi ... woke up to a beautiful sunny day ... the birds are chirping and worshiping their Maker and I make appt with this Minah Jeng to walk to the lake in the quarry at 6.45am so that we can do our Quiet Time in the background of nature .. but that
Minah zzzz till 10am!! Anyway .. I suspected as much by 7am, I did my devotions in the room.Then, made my way to take up my 1st official assignment for the day .. be a driver ... I drove CC and Walter to Shaw Centre to pick up school uniforms for him. Spore .... hahhaha .... siau place to live .. they do things funny funny way .... NOT all places sell school uniforms ... only certain outlet and shop. Guess what is the name of the shop? Bibi Baba ... lolz .. if in Msia .... it will be Ali Baba ..
The queue was already long when we reach there .... about 1130am! First you queue to get the attention of the people -- to
be served -- you give your school name and your size ... then, you queue to try on your sizes .... and lastly ... you queue to make the payment!! So "efficient" hor .... You will need to go to another place to get shoes (either white, black or grey depending on your school). And the books from another place ..... Seems that you can also buy the uniform from the school but since it's Walter's new school and he has to wear uniform to school .... we had to buy it at Bibi Baba (farni name for the shop right?)We in Malaysia ... we just go to the traditional "kedai kain" next to Dr Ting clinic and buy or just any supermarket or shopping centre.
Off course I did not stay behind 1.5hours just to queue to buy the uniform! I went shopping instead hahahha ... Isten was having their anniversary sales .. bought meself a pair of jeans .... there are so many brands on sale -- Kelvin Klein, Naf Naf ... they were going like 70% and Naf Naf pants was only $20 .... but .... semua cannot wear! Dono what brand I buy ... $49 after 50% discount. Boh pian la buy ... cos now very hard find my size ...
Then we had lunch at Shaw Centre .... Since the "driver" complain that she was made to spent $$$ cos of this trip (:O) ... CC decided to "treat" the driver to yummy dim-sum. Walter misses dim-sum because US does NOT have any nice dim-sum. According to LN the shop we went is popular for its dim-sum...
After lunch, we walked to Mt E to visit Aunty. She's doing better. Mei was there .. Aunty shared that she had a vision the night we visited her in Tan Tock Seng ... she saw a group of boys standing facing the wall ... like being punished ... she asked the Lord what nation and the Lord said "Nepal", pray for them. In her situation and physical condition, she shared that she prayed but she can feel that she was weak ... cos she was fasting before she was admitted into the hospital.
Moving on, I drove all to Holland V ... where CC takes over the wheel and am ready for my final assignment for the day ... to help Ong move house!!!
Jane picked me up from Cold Storage, Holland V ... Hea, Shanice and Wen is already in the car. When we reached the new house ... what a mess!!! The house was messy and dusty .. and the owner a-la contractor was famished di!!!! Super hungry!
As usual, the Ee Ee gave instructions and everyone had our roles to play in the cleaning .... except for the youngest in our group who is "nicely lacy" dressed ... we decided to send her to the shop to buy broom, mop etc with Janne ... hoping that the shop owner will be blur2 and give us discounts ... hehhehehe ...
And then .... the first drama unfolds .... the TV man came to mount the TVs on the wall ... hahhah ..... pengsan ... they need a cable to connect the TV to the antenna ... Ong say it was suppose to be in the TV package .. the guy say no .... never mind ... Ong fon Jane to buy it ... $5 .. then Wen cleared the middle room where they throw in everything that they moved in and discov
er that Ong did buy an antenna
for his TV from Harvey Norman .... its was gold platted -- cost : $95!!! Pengsan ... my adik manyak duit la ...The TV guy went off ... and Hea decided to help Ong fix the TV cable ... he "gently" turn the back of the TV a little and the ooopppssss ..... tat unfold the 2nd drama of the day!!! hahhahha .... the TV mounted on the wall is now 15-20% off the wall!!! So, drama la ... the WHOLE family came to help ... LOLZ .... Hea, Wen, Ong, Shanice .... LOLZ .. all soooooooooo scare the TV fall down .... they even manage to bring down the whole TV and re-fix it ..... then suddenly .. tiba2 ... i
t fall into place again .... LOLZ... pengsan!!In the mist of all this drama .... the front door grill man came ... he fixed the grill and then he demanded he want the full payment -- $600++ ... Ong looked at the grill and was shocked ... cos u can out ur head through the grill!!!! The man say -- its the design ... Ong say ... design is one thing .... the function of the grill as security is key ... ahhhh .. gaduh la ... stress ... stress ... the man insisted full payment ... and say that he will amend and repair his work till Ong is satisfied but make full payment 1st ..... adui ... stress ... stress ... stress ....
Hahhahah .... then, the final drama unfolds -- the bed man came ..... LOL. Ong waited the whole day for them to deliver the bed ..janji afternoon ... come only petang ... imagine .... Ong half talking on fon, half talking with grill man .... Hea, Wen and Shanice trying to fix the TV prob ... the bed man came and say ... excuse me ... ini katil, I kasi pinjam .. the one u order is out of stock!!!! LOL!!!! Pengsan!!!! Double
pengsan!!! They are smart, they scared customer make noice ... they deliver at 6pm ... hoping that customer will agree to their suggestion its already too late to make any changes .... anyway ... Ong send the bed man back .. he dont want the "borrowed" bed!!!!"Where is the sofa? You are suppose to send the sofa I bought?" The bed man say "ooo ... itu orang lain hantar" ... hahhaha ... betul2 pening kepala 1 ....
So, after making few more calls .... we waited for another hour before another chap delivers the sofa ..... Told Ong, any barang2 he not happy or dont like... hehhehe ... can donate to me ... I will need to get a house and furnish it come June!!
We were all soooo hungry ...cos work so hard whole day ... laugh so much whole day ... off cos poor Ong paling stress cos he had to handle everything by himself ..... bini "cuti mengandung".
After cleaning up the house and clearing as much as we can, we closed the windows and when Ong lock up the house ... he soooooooooooo terkejut ... there is NO grill to the house!!!! He took the key out ... want to lock the grill and then only realize that he had send the grill back ... so, silently he must have prayed for God to protect his home and all the precious barang2 in the house ....
We then proceed to eat XO fish soup --- all sooo hungry and tired ... after whole day of "working"
Itu la the drama for my day .....
Fun!!! Great time of hangout and fellowship with cucu cucu ... hehehhe .. the next hu-ha move house will be mine!!! All must come help!!! But pray no drama like this ... See you guys there Jun!
