I'm beginning to feel that the peeps at home are gonna feel empty. Now that the housewife is taking a long break, who's gonna do the laundry, mop the floor, cook or iron the clothes?Even the part time 'granny Lin' is taking a break, who's gonna be the masseuse at home and who's gonna be the one nagging at the kiddos?On my way to the office to pick some things just now, I kept reminding Ronald to take over my massage job. It has to be done daily. And when office needs him, he have to cancel ALL his appointment. Naggy I know but its not much of a choice. I'm worried too you see...After smelling the notes, I'm beginning to feel the anxiety! On a side note, Swiss Franc is so pretty! Why ours is forever that boring ar???

When lizard meet crocs
Today is perhaps the most disgusting day of my life!!!!I'm completely horrified about creepy crawlies. Though I'll be a lil squeamish about but I promise no exaggerative actions. I usually wear my crocs to work because I haven't found myself a comfy pair of covered shoes. This crocs I own isnt covered btw. It still has many holes on it. So I was having lunch with my parent an this slimy, cold-blooded baby chameleon decided to play with the maze of holes in my shoes. It all happened when I suddenly had this cold tingling feeling halfway into my mee rubus and I thought to myself, "How could a piece of tissue go into my crocs when the hole is so small?" I looked down and almost hyperventilated. This freaking monster was making its way in and out of I dunno how many holes of my shoe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Seriously, I cried on the spot! Like the first time of my life because of this HORRIBLE CREATURE! And my mum still got the cheek to laugh at me and my very kind father keep asking me to eat faster as if nothing happened. To think he was trying to kill the creature halfway through his porridge but it ended up under some metal cover. My stomach almost overturned alright?!?!??!! I think all the ah peks ard us were staring at me but I didn't really bother cus this freak accident bothered me more! I dun even care if the whole coffee shop was looking at me. What are the odds of having a baby chameleon in a coffeeshop and make its way into my shoe??? I was so affected the whole day. It just brings chill down my spine!
