today i wore mama's $9.90 shoes to work. they're simple (and most importantly, reasonable) heels.. anyway i was late for my dental appt so i rushed out of the house and ran-or rather-tried to run up the overhead bridge to catch the bus. i took two steps at a time, praying i'd make it to the other side of the road in record time. (shut up hanisah) sadly, my damn right heel got caught on one of the steps and would not cooperate! since my left foot was already two steps higher than the right foot, the damned right heel fell off my foot. making me look extremely stupid. and wasting time so tt id miss the bus by 5 seconds. anyway the humiliating part was that there was an old uncle hobbling down the same flight of steps and when he saw the damned shoe episode, he said "ha ha" and i sooo heard him over the blast of tokyo drift from my mp3!

i think today fairuz deserves a whole blog entry about her..

a day in the live of fairuz..

once upon a time, fairuz meets her lovely girlfriends, aysha and hanisah, for lunch. she decides to bring them to a kedai mamak for nasi briyani. on her way there, she decides to stop at posb to drop her cheque. unfortunately, she has no clue as to what her bank account number is. so her lovely friends rescue her and help her find out her account number.

the three of them then continue their journey to the mamak shop. half an hour later, fairuz still has yet to find the myseterious shop. she cries happily "i spy mamak looking people there!" dragging her friends to her supposedly discovered shop. however, the girls found no shop and found out that they had been walking around in a huge circle.

flustered, they decide to have lunch at pizza hut instead. being cheapos, the three friends all buy student meals for $5.95 each. fai orders a super supreme, hanisah a beef lasagna and aysha a spicy fussili. while waiting for their food, they fill their soup bowls. fairuz declares that she does not fancy cream of chicken soup but aysha tells her to take a generous serving (to get her money's worth) and assures that she'd help finish the soup up should fai be unable to finish it up herself.

true enough, fai could not finish her soup. so she thrust her bowl towards aysha. "bleh, your soup dont have pepper. not nice," aysha declines. so fai brings her bowl to the soup place to put some pepper in her bowl. she returns with a bowl of clumpy peppered soup. when aysha's eyes widened at the sight of the large amount of pepper floating in her soup, fai defended herself "i didnt know how much pepper you'd want!"

a looooong time later, their food finally arrive. there was a glint in fai's eyes as she cut up her pizza and tried to move one slice from the pan to her plate. however, her slice of pizza plonks onto the table. "you did not see that!" fai says, mighty embarrassed. the girls take their time to eat, struggling to finish up their last few bites of rather large servings. when they finally finished, the pizza hut girl cleared their plates and left them to sip on their cokes.

fai announces "i think im not full yet" (after a WHOLE pizza all to herself)

while crossing the road back to the office, fai points out to an ang moh and exclaims "he looks soo american!!"

after work, the three friends meet up once again to go to geylang together. at the mrt station, hanisah decides to pay her handphone bill at a SAM machine. having never used a SAM machine before, both aysha and fairuz eagerly take turns to touch the 'buttons' on the screen for hanisah. the screen then displays "key in amount due" and hanisah says to fairuz "$94.92 fai" so fai keys in the numbers 9, 4, 9 and 2, resulting in hanisah having to pay $9492.00!

"ninety four DOT ninety twoooo!!" hanisah panics.

after fai's latest bimbo of the day moment, the three girls get on the train towards paya lebar. unfortunately, they had to stand through an excruciating train ride with a quote thousand million unquote human beings, intermittent violent bumps and one unexpected gush of fart.

finally, the girls arrive at paya lebar and then make their way to tanjong katong complex. not so surprisingly, fairuz insists that she simply must get the $1 popcorn. she was most likely hungry again by that time.

all three girls were in the mood for teh tarik, so they headed to haig road for teh and satay. hanisah elected fairuz as satay orderer and simply said "order for me 3 mutton" followed by aysha who said "i want 3 chicken". off fairuz went. she came back to chat with her friends over teh while waiting for their satay. eventually the satay uncle came with a plate of 16 satays. (yes, fai had 10 satays all to herself on top of the popcorn and her ENTIRE pizza hut pizza from lunch.)

after eating, the girls then went their separate ways home and lived happily ever after.

the end



how can anyone disagree that fai is greedifying? i love you faii=) *hugs*
