Lock Down
Sometimes i amuse myself...
ok i have guilty pleasures i freely admit it. i like the "Sleepover Club" on Disney Channel every weekend. its an Australian show about 5 teen girls going through every day life in a slightly quirky way. i get a kick out of it, what can i say.
my cough is seriously getting on my nerves right about now. you're not alone C... well i am drinking water and doping myself up with medication but argh!! its taking its own sweet time to go away. i had to miss mass today just so that i didnt cough my lungs out during the entire thing, but i'd made up my mind to at least go for practise, which i did. my throat held up till the end of the last song during which i started coughing all over again. thank Primus for small mercies.
going to Clarke Quay is a serious exercise in will power. there's always so much TF and LOTR stuff to buy there and today in particular there were a few extra tables stacked with TF toys. what are they trying to do to me?!?! i can only have so much restraint y'know. keeping in mind i have a $50 Alternators Bluestreak on hold till next week, i decided to see if they had the new Robot Masters Mirage since its the closest thing to the G1 Mirage. however all the shops seem to have sold out that particular toy. GAH!! i have a feeling its for the very same reason i just mentioned. bleh...
in the end i did indulge in buying a paperback version of the TF comic "The War Within." yet another book to add to my "Read Me" list. now if only my story would let me stop writing for a while and start reading a little... well a girl can dream.
Clarice got some good deals though. a set of 5 Underworld figurines, including her precious Lucian, for $40 and Van Helsing toys for $10... now if only my TF toys could be that cheap. *sigh*
on the way to Simply Toys to check if my LOTR Coronation gift pack had arrived yet. we took a pit stop at the Grand Hyatt Hotel to use the bathroom... where i got locked inside the stall. yes.. Jo got locked inside a toilet stall. anyways it wasnt for very long, maybe 5 to 10 minutes. what happened was that the lock had jammed. the hotel staff werent really helpful. in the end, after much turning of the knob-lock, Clarice and i managed to finally get the door open.
The staff are very lucky i'm the type who can laugh off an incident like that rather than kick up a huge fuss and go and complain to the management. no point really. it was a freak 'accident' and its not like i got hurt or anything. so yea, just laughed it off and carried on our way.
my toys seemed to find it incredibly funny. they're still muttering and giggling over it - even Prowl's smiling! Damn you Prowl, i thought you were on my side! ah well. slag happens. and honestly i dont mind laughing at myself sometimes.
besides, if you cant laugh at yourself, then you have no right to laugh at others.
