rainy day....

been quite a wet day literally....got to the office and it was puring cats and dogs...thank god i had my sandals in the car. got to office and it was chilly....but i can bet that everyone else was FREEZING! hehehe... yes...office is like a big huge freezer. most ideal for me though....

got online and the first thing i got was a message on YM from babypurpl asking "have you heard?" i was like huh? heard what? and that's when i found out that the PM's wife passed away this morning at 7.55am. gosh! that's quite a shock as the last news i read in the papers was she is back from overseas after some treatment and doing fine. guess it's just REALITY hitting again that things will happen unexpectedly, just like a friend who passed away 2 weeks ago. still didn't believe that it was for REAL till i turned around to the communal tv set behind me and saw that it's was prayers on broadcast rather than the usual programme. and i was thinking what channel was it on with prayers going on and on.....

just slightly after noon, my boss comes up to me and asks for a favour. "simon, need you to help look for these songs" and shoved a list of it to me. first answer without even thinking, "there's no open connection in the office". oh well, that's a bad habit that i have when it comes to anything relating to my boss...ehehe....asked my colleague who's in charge of the website and was told that the interactive department has a computer with open connection. so there i go...quickly rushed off downstairs and searched for the songs. oops...yes yes...before anyone blames me for downloading mp3s for free, it's just something which we needed rather urgently..... :-S ok..anyway, found the songs i needed and started downloading. while waiting, was watching what's going on air...quite interesting messages that were appearing on the sms chat thing. there were like a neverending flow of condolence sms to the PM and family. tried to check on bernama's site for more updates but somehow i think it was all jammed up. then out of a sudden, oops...think i better not put in what my colleague said, else we might end up in ISA. :-)

went to client's office to pick up some samples for the team to utilise. gawd! of all times, the soles of my shoes started coming loose. darn! need to get it glued again. oh well, luckily it's still intact. got the consignment of samples and thought i'd make them a lil happy with some M&M's. santa came early!! heheh.....glad that the lil packets of M&M chocolates brought some happiness to some people who i guess must have had a not so smooth day. feels really good to be able to brighten up people's lives with just a little bit. what's more meaningful to me is that they appreciate it. :-)) happy happy VoRTeX....eheheh....

by the time i got back to office, traffic was already bad and it was pouring. thank god i was driving the team's vehicle that allows me to go to the basement parking lot. :-) unloaded the samples, all 14 boxes of it by myself and became the santa in the office again. :-)

here i go again...getting mental block....don't know whether it's the coldness or just purely too many things running on my mind. hmm...don't know whether it was GOD grieving or just coincidence but the rain never seemed to end...it just went on and on and on.

on another note, so so happy that i managed to save a life today....yes...a LIFE! heheh....okok...though it wasn't a big thing, just the life of a lil goldfish. gawd! how paranoid my colleague was this morning when she found out the fish was floating on the surface upside down. just had to put my boy scouts skills and logic sense to work. suddenly i turned into a vet! hahaha! that's a joke....oh well, took the fishy out of the bowl it was in and transferred it into another container with a lukewarm water and tickled it a bit...ehehe...yes..tickle...well, it was said that it does help to stroke the fish's belly. heey! don't get any ideas that i was getting kinky with a lil goldfish! so there i was changing the water in the pantry....making sure the water's a bit warm for the fishy to swim in while being placed in the "freezer". well, i just took a peek at the fishy and it's doing just fine. another good deed! yay!! hehehe...just trying to console myself out of all the shitty things.

think i'll just pack up and leave for home. yay! it's going to be a long weekend!! not that it would make a big difference to me anyway.....guess i'll just enjoy the thoughts of it.....have a good long weekend yo'all. hmm....such a nice weather for....something hot and soupy...mmm.....and something i crave most...TLC and cuddles.....*bwaaaahhhh* :-(
