of one of those days

Yesterday was a really odd day… okay, it wasn’t that odd… but there was this tang of surrealness to things.

1) I was a bigger klutz than I normally am:

- I was walking up 4 steps to go out of the building to get Nicki’s bday cake. Somehow, the point of my pointy shoes got ensnared by the hem of my pants (on the inside) and suddenly everything was in slow-mo… i realised that i was falling. I had so much time to put my hands in front of me to break my fall… or well, it seemed so. Behind me, the guys who were in the same elevator with me, one of them was chatting away and suddenly broke off and uttered, “oops! oh dear…” as i fell.. hehe it was kinda funny. But yea… once again, I’ve managed to fall UP the stairs o_O I should be grateful though… falling down the stairs ain’t all that either *thinks of Corp. Cow when she fell down the stairs and ended up flat on her face, eagle-spread on the ground* ….. *cackles* omg, i wish i was there to see it! XD FYI, I go by the etiquette of: so long as the one who klutzed up laugh, it’s okay to laugh too. ^_^

- I was eating the cake, and I dropped it on me… several times -_- (okay, I admit it…that wasn’t klutzy, it’s grotty hehe)

- I queued behind this massively built guy with uber big feet in boots at the ticket machine to go into Town Hall station. His ticket mustn’t have worked and when he realised that, he took a step back. When *I* realised that he was takin a step back, it was a lil too late and only managed to move back a little before he stepped on my foot. Luckily, it was my pointies. But ’cause I was already moving back, my shoe got left behind… under his boot. I think he was waitin for me to get out of his way, cuz he paused there for a moment. I couldn’t believe that my shoe was taken hostage by his boot and was looking at it a little bewilderedly, but I couldn’t move cuz I wasn’t gonna go any where without it. A little puzzled, he looked down and realised what had happened. He sheepishly apologised (I murmured back that it was okay with a weak smile) and released my shoe (which I promptly slotted my foot back in with relief), and went on his way. Daym pointies… cause so much trouble!

- I misjudged how far I was from the gutter and my hubcaps made a huuuuge scccccrrrrraaaaaaaping noise -_-# ugh (I guess that was just me being stupid more than anything else)

2) I kept bumping into people that I haven’t seen for sooooo long:

- Accompanied Nicki and Alan to her bday lunch thingy. Met up with Helen and Jennifer there. My Le (the OTHER one) was there too, so we ate together. Helen went to get something to eat, but I thought since I haven’t seen her for a while, I’d go and keep her company. Bumped into S-man as she finally decided to get a new york double decker sandwich from Sandwich Delight. He called my attention to him as we walked past. I knew I knew him, but I also knew that I’ve totally forgotten his name. We chatted for a bit and then asked if he could sit with me/us. I couldn’t think of a polite way of saying “no, mebbe it’s not a good idea to” so I tried to hint that through “we only have a table of four, but there’s already six of us there, so it’s pretty squashy.” It totally backfired as he replied, “oh that’s fine! i’ll just pull up another chair” -_-# *Note to self: subtle hints are lost on guys* When I turned back at Helen to tell her what was goin on, I saw the sandwich, “HOLY MOLY! Look at the size of that beast!” O_O it was huuuuge. Had a pretty hard time to eat it, but it was delish nice choices babez…

Anyways… I told her I couldnt’ remember anything about him, when I realised, I lie.. i know his ICQ nick: S-man… tried to think of all the names starting with S and I lingered on Steven, which I had a feelin was right. *smug* I was.. yay! ^_^ my memory ain’t THAT bad after all.

ANYWAYS, he came back to the table and surprised both Helen and I when Nicki’s face brightened up and said, “STEVEN! omg! how are you?” It turns out that he knew Nicki, Jennifer, and My… o_O weird… that boy gets around hehehe

- on the way back from the office, whilst crossing George St., I saw a guy take a double-take look at me from my peripheral vision. A little unnerved, I kept walk nonchalantly. Then he tapped me on the shoulder. Taken aback, I quickly looked at him warily, which dissolved rather quickly into a smile when I realised it was Stumpi! ^_^ hehehe Really like that guy, he’s so nice.

I think that was it… reading through it, it didn’t seem all “odd”.. but I dunno.. I got spun out when almost everyone knew who S-man was and mebbe that just carried through the whole day. =)

Was listening to Smooth Jazz and Jazz Classics on Yahoo!LaunchCast. Daym it’s good. ^_^ Elevator music BM calls it, but it’s really nice to study to.

Ugh… which reminds me.. i gotta get back to it -_- adios amigos
