26 at last
It’s happened! Finally. I’m undeniably, irreversibly, unmistakably 26. NNNOOOOoooooooooooooo!!!! *Sob*Sob* I’ll wait a while more for the hefty lunch and cake to settle down a bit in the stomach before I completely mull over being a year older…like my smarty pants brother said: I’m one year closer to THE END. How reassuring indeed! Here the throat goes *gulp* and I choke a little, wondering whether to laugh or balk at the fact.
And what a way to start the year too! My first day as a mature, wise 26 year old with a good head on her shoulders almost became a nightmare when I accidentally and/or stupidly left my Mini O2 in the ladies room of the Japanese Restaurant RAKUZEN in Subang after lunch today. And so, I was sitting on the bowl trying to wear my shoes and pee at the same time (since you have to take off your shoes to enter the restaurant) when this ermmm…chatty customer called asking the question she has asked me for at least three times everyday since last week…I couldn’t wait to get her off the phone…finish my business and hurry off to head back to the office with my colleagues who were waiting for me. Unfortunately my wise head on these shoulders wasn’t so wise after all…having done with the conversation, I had the cow sense to put my mini on the dumpster where u dump your feminine pads (I know, YUKK)…and walked off as though there was nothing at all missing…until an hour later when my sixth sense started to kick in and by GOD, I rummaged my bag like a madwoman to find my precious L O S T! I swear the cold baby octopus I had earlier for appetizers came to life and was jumping madly in the cavity of my stomach. Oh, and it’s good too that I’ve mentioned the name of the restaurant in this blog…please everyone who loves Jap food…visit Rakuzen…because I can’t thank the waitress enough for being so honest as to wait for my call and safekeep my baby until I found my wise head back and rushed through rain and traffic to reclaim it. Thank god for honesty, really! Oh, and lesson number 1 of the year: NEVER MULTITASK, especially if you have just turned a sobbing year older!
Oh, other than that, just want to thank all of you darlings out there who remembered it was my big day (though not so big anymore) yesterday. Thanks for all the wishes, thanks for all the thoughts, thanks for the calls, thanks for the quirky cards, and for the jabs on my age hawhawhaw and above all, thanks for commemorating the fact that on this day, 26 years ago, a little brat was born to add to the world her spice, color and quirks. Heheh…God bless everybody and beeee happy! Cheerios!
Hey Eunice... Happy belated Birthday
