The "kid" in a 30year old man
His birthday is not until the 1st of May, but I already bought him a birthday gift. Not that he asked for it already…but I knew I had to get that thing he wanted before he bought it first himself. Since he’s very much into gadgets, I bought him the GPS tracking unit that he so badly wanted.

I was going to wait for another week or so until I get my bonus (and I wonder how much I’m going to be paid for my last year’s effort)…but the longer I wait, I knew for sure that he was gonna get the GPS thing first. Besides, it will be a nice surprise for me to get it for him…considering the fact that I don’t really know much about all this high tech gadgets, and suddenly the dear and loving wife thinks ahead of getting it for her dear and loving husband. As for me, if I’m lost searching for a place, I’ll just get down from the car and ask for directions...and if the person does not know bout the directions too…scream!!! But guys being guys, it’s always cool to have a gadget to direct them to go to places…and yes, his sense of directions is pretty bad. So it is kinda worth it to get him that.

So he received the gift yesterday…and he was soooooo…darn excited and happy and shocked at the same time. It almost looked like ‘the kid’ in him was coming out to play. When we were out buying dinner last night, he tested the GPS device immediately…and we didn’t go that far…we only went to Subway, which took us 5 mins to get there…and the distance was about 3km only from our place…and we obviously knew the route to get there…but for the sake of trying that thing…we followed the directions from the GPS. Mengada kan?

This morning, again he used the GPS “to know the directions to get to his office”…when he had been driving to work, to the same office on every weekdays, for the last 4 years.

This afternoon, he called to say that he was on his way to KL Hilton for a meeting from his office. And I asked, “are you using the GPS to find out the directions?”

He laughed out loud.

That means yes, he was using the GPS…and also because I heard the smart talking device saying “drive 1.5km and turn left”…wherever he was at that time.

I rolled my eyes and smirked. Because you see, our place is kinda near Hilton. And going to Hilton is like going back home. And yet, he was still using the GPS.

He’s so funny.

And I certainly hope that this GPS will always be a toy that he appreciates. I don’t want it to be like one of his Playstation and control race cars where after 2-weeks, you can no longer see them in operations and only meant to be displayed besides being covered with dust.

I need a day off!
I’m mentally and physically exhausted! Or does this only happen on a Monday?

Whatever it is, work is piling and I don’t quite like it. Yes, I know I complained when I was slugging doing nothing, and now I’m also complaining when I actually have to work like everyone else.

Right now all I can think about is to have a good long massage, to untangle my tangled veins, rub my tired feet, a gentle massage on my back (oh gosh my waist hurts so bad), to do manicure and pedicure (can’t reach down to my toes to clip my nails already), and to enjoy the beauty of an un-disturbed sleep.

Maybe I need one of those days that people call an Off-Day on a working day.

the missing luggage
My last entry was on 14th March…and now it’s already April. What on earth happened really?

Well I’ve been really busy with work! Like literally no time to go out and hang out even! He was in London for a week…I did miss him, but with the tonnes of work and focus group sessions lined up in the past 2 weeks, I was practically a robot. Today, I decided to stay home and work…which we all know…I won’t really.

He came back from London a few days back. One of his luggages full of MY STUFF and Conggo’s went missing! He was pissed and sad. But I was more pissed and sadder! I wasn’t at the airport to witness how he had blatantly menyumpah at every Airport ground staff that day…but from the sound of it…I can imagine that he probably turned green. So the only thing that was left for me was a bottle of perfume which was in the other bag. Not that I don’t like perfumes, I do…but I still have 3 bottles of perfume waiting to be open and to be used. But I like the perfume that he bought this time around…it had a very personal touch to it. My name was engraved on the perfume bottle...and I obviously went like...."awwwww so sweet"...

So bout the missing luggage, the next day he called me to say that the luggage had been found! Yippie!!! Apparently it got lost in transit in Dubai. So the rep of that Airline sent the luggage to our place later in the evening…and now we have everything back. And I’m happy that I can rely on him in buying baby’s stuff and clothes. And I also asked him to buy pairs of nursing bras from Mothercare…instead of buying 2 pieces, he bought 4 pieces…and they all came in different colours! There was even a polka-dot bra as well…

I also realized something…he didn’t bring back his dirty clothes (not entirely tho). So I asked him if he forgot to pack his dirty clothes…but he said no. He actually asked the Msian Hi Comm ppl in London to courier his dirty clothes back to KL because there was no more space in the 2 luggage!

He’s so funny!
