Burnt!!

U all wouldn't believe what happened just now... sleepy & friend was having dessert @ Seasons Reasons (located @ the new Marketplace of City Hall) when "disaster" stroke! We we eating their signature dessert, cup in a cake; which is actually chocolate brownie with vanilla gelato and mocha chips (or @ least we think they r mocha chips...) and commenting that although it is Halloween, there doesn't seem to be many decorations @ the restaurants we have walked passed. So anyways, sleepy's friend was pointing out that there were actually 2 small little pumpkins on the table @ the entrance and sleepy was trying to lean forward to see it (being blocked by a pillar), oblivious to the fact that there was an unconvered container with a tealight in front of her. Suddenly, a "Szzzzzssszzzzz" sound could be heard and to her horror... her lovely tresses have been fried!!! Luckily only a little portion of the hair was burnt, resulting in a part of the hair becoming curvy wurvy, but the worst thing was that, there was such a horrid smell!!! How come fried hair smells soooooo bad??? Just what is our hair made of anyways?? Of course, the bill was paid immediately so that ms frantic sleepy can go home to wash her hair to get rid of the bad smell... it is still wet now... hope it will be ok tomorrow *crosses fingers*

Think I always have had this "fascination" with fire... oh I don't like to play with matches, but rather with tealights. Used to love to burn those aromatherapy stuff when I was in hostel and also @ home or those candles that gives off some scent when burnt. As the holders/tealights are usually circular in shape, when the candle wax has burnt off in the middle, there is actually still some wax left @ the circumference of the base, and not wanting to waste, I would "dig" up the wax & put them in a new tealight and so on and so forth. Sometimes the wax pieces can be quite big causing the tealight to overflow haha... but actually that is still q ok; sometimes the wick burns finish but there is still a LOT of candle wax left over... mois would then use the burnt candle stick to try to burn dwn the wax or something (cant remember what I was doing then) and sometimes the fire can get q big... causing like a mini bonfire of sorts!! I remember once I was in hostel, I was using a burner that was not covered. Somehow my tissue paper holder was placed pretty near the burner and somehow coz the fan was turning @ dat time, the tissue paper caught fire and burnt the plastic holder!!! Gosh... luckily I happened to see in time or else sleepy would now be paying through her teeth for 1 block HAHAHA!!!

Morale of the story: restaurants should NOT use such dangerous tea light holders! :P :P :P

Sleepy explains...

Sleepytoon has again received complaints about the colour of the font that she uses on her website... resulting in readers having to hilight the passage before being able to read the delightful content :P

The thing is, there aren't very nice dark colour fonts that moi can use... and being a vibrant person (heh heh) I do prefer to use different colours for each entry. And the soft pastel colours are soooo v much nicer... funny thing is it doesnt really strike me as unreadable whilst writing the entry, so I can only once again that old people doesnt have good eyesight :P But I kinda like this shade of blue, and I thnk it is dark enuff to be seen on a white background so I thnk I shall be using this colour more often :) Hope this satisfies the older readers heh heh. In retrospect, is there anyway that I can change the colour of the background to a darker colour??

And though I prefer using the small font size as it is cuter (like me!! :P) I have written this entry using the bigger font so that the older folks can read it and stop berating me on using pastel colour fonts hee. Maybe I can use the pastel colour fonts when I am saying bad things abt them... heh heh... *idea*

sleepy rests her case :)

Short Short Week

A happee little Sleepytoon was looking forward to this week as she only had to work 3 days this week... how's that?? :) :) :) It couldn't even dampen her spirits of having to do Cash on Tues heh heh. Wanted to take the following Mon off instead of tomorrow but it being the day before and after holidays, permission was NOT granted... but oh well... 3 days of work, 4 days of rest, 1 day of work, 1 day of rest then 3 days of work... not bad lah :P

Luckily had a relief officer @ branch on Mon and Tues which helped a lot as vouchers were checked on time and the tellers were "smart" enuff to ask him to do the overidding; both days got to leave branch before 530!! Today wasn't so bad either although I made this terrible mistake with my cheques but managed to solve the problem on time *whew* think I am rather butter-fingers these couple of days, keep dropping things and couldn't open the combination for the vault doors!!! Luckily my boss never scold me heh heh!!

Lookin forward to spending 2 whole days w Dar... well 1.5 lah since he gota drive boat on Fri... still apprehensive about him driving boat... just pray & hope for the best for him... Went w him to Gelare last nite for half-priced waffles... intially I was the one that wanted to eat but we kept postponing and last nite he had a craving for it. Funny thing is we headed for Parkway which we went to the previous time we wanted to eat; and was suddenly reminded that the old Gelare is now Don's Pie... what a BOO BOO!! In the end we went to the one @ Marine Cove which is pretty spacious... not like the other outlets I have been to and we managed to snag the cosy seats *smiles* Dar was reminiscing the very 1st time I brought him to eat Gelare; he claims he was never a big fan of such "fancy food" as he so terms, preferring normal hawker/foodcourt fare in the past and that I have been a bad influence to him! hee hee... hey... I also don't really like to eat v v v ex food ok... (coz to me; eat liao short while laters come out?? haha) juz dat don't really like to eat @ hawker/foodcourt so often coz it is hot & sometimes dirty... yep yep pampered am i...

Distraught!!

An extremely distraught Sleepytoon just plucked like more than a dozen white hair from her beautiful mane of hair!! ARRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!! Getting freaking old!!!! And they were all on 1 side of the hair... HOW COME??? Hairdressed have been telling me that I have more white hair on the right side of my hair than the left side but when I tried "looking" for them to pluck them out, i couldn't find them and then VOOOM!! They all appeared today!! Issit coz of the stress of the past week??

And Dar has gone off to KL with his friend and will only be back on Tues afternoon... sobz sobz!! M definitely not used to not having him ard :( Tues come soon quick!!

Hello to a new week

Boy am I glad the past week is finally over... it had been a rather bad week of sorts and I am juz real glad when it was Sat yesterday and Sunday today. :)

It was like nothing would go rite; on Monday, my colleague who is also the cash officer told me that her hubby might hafta go for an emergency eye op and thus might be taking the half day off... it turned out to be 2.5 days off which means I had to take over cash which I absolutely detest. Even my tellers were rather wary of me haha!! Then somehow, I managed to do everything wrongly... there was some case on Monday (which I can't remember) and then on Tuesday, I keyed in something wrongly which resulted in the main office calling and I had to call them back to and fro before the matter was finally was resolved!! And during that period, although it was my lunch time, the tellers still ask me to overide n help them solve their cases... like there's only 1 of me lors :P Then on Wed, after a big hoo ha about a Negative Balance case, I went to overide a transaction with Negative Balance as well!! *piangz* then it was a frantic rush of reversing the entry, trying to contact the person which took me like half an hour!! and @ the same time not letting my boss know about it!!! Gosh... luckily my alternate advised me and helped me to cover up. *whewz* On Thursday, my boss wanted to have a staff meeting and wanted me (coz I was assigned as "Service Champion" haha) to come up with something which would improve the service of staff and I was totally clueless!!! Thankfully, being a marketing student, I managed to smoke my way through haha. On top of that, had a quarrel with Dar (but we made up yipee!) so my mood was in the pits!! Was also very tired because of tuition as my kids were having their exams... thank god they have finished :)) And yesterday... the branch was to have a power shut-down so I had to stay back with my boss. The guy was late and though thankfully he didn't take very long, it took a while before the lines for the machines were brought up and so by the time I left the office, it was like 245!! I have never knocked off so late on Sat b4!!! so all in a all it was a pretty bad week for me...

But there were also little pieces of good news:
1) got a message fr a dear friend of mine... she somehow always seem to know when I am down and wld drop me a msg... thnx YP! And... i met up w 2 of my closest SC gfs littlebloom & huiwen. :)
2) my aircon's like FINALLY fixed!!! so bye bye to noisy nites :) :) :)
3) and yippee yayee... my boss has decided that we shd have alternate Sat off!!! although that would mean that we only have 1 wkday off a month, think it is so much beta!! *pleased*
