If It Ain't My Lucky Day...

And I thought birthdays boys/gers are supposed to be lucky on the day itself. Woke up just before 7am to take a leak & replenish my water tank as well. Opened up my fridge & Hell Aye, my bottle of chilli greeted me by throwing itself to the ground. What a great way to start my day I thought.

With my eyes half opened, I gingerly picked up the shattered glass pieces & unknowingly cut my thumb. Damn that woke me up! The cut didn't hurt but the chilli reminded me that i was bleeding. Oh yeah! Nothing beats that feeling when half your senses are still in slumber land.

After clearing up the mess & regaining my senses, I refrained from touching anything else in the house. I am not subsidised with any form of financial aid to replace any broken objects within my humble abode.

It seemed that heaven pitied & cried for me the rest of the day. Started pouring in the morning & subsided to a gentle drizzle for the rest of the day till sunset. My better half & I shared the ride under the rain from Novena Square to Suntec City, with an extra cost of $0.75 for passing through The Forbidden Gates before 7pm.

Dinner was a tough choice to make base on the vast variety of food outlets there located in the dungeons basement. We settled for Fish & Co & browsed through the menu. The waitress took our order & we waited eagerly for our meal. The oysters were great. So were the soup, salad & calamari. Main course was a seafood platter. Portions were acceptable & it was rather filling.

After dinner & with an over-sized waistline, roaming through the retail shops in Suntec City is not an option but a journey we must take. As usual, our last destination is always Carrefour. we were strolling within the premises when I suddenly remembered that I had conveniently left my cashcard in the IU unit on my ride. Damn it! As expected, my money card is no longer there when I rushed to retrieve it. Unfortunate it may seem but there was only $1 left in it. Lucky I had yet to top up the value. Losing $1 is better than losing $21 (rather lame way of consoling myself but it certainly helped a little). Still, I hereby curse the thief that may he be blessed with an itchy ass & may his arms be too short to even scratch his waist. Nonetheless, we carried on shopping & bought some groceries before going home.

On second thought, it wasn't such a bad day afterall. I just broke a bottle of chilli, cut my finger & lost my cashcard within a 12 hour time frame. It could have been worse...
