Blistering Blue Barnacles! All of yesterday, I thought it was the 25th when it was actually the 26th. AND NG's birthday was yesterday and not today. Sometime around noon, he called and disowned me. Completely!
I apologised profusely and agreed to absolve my guilt by taking NG for a five-course dinner at the Taj Westend. We had planned on "Paradise Island" but seeing the crowd there, we took an about turn and went to Atria instead. The food was surprisingly good. Had shrimps in Thai sauce (penang, I think), stir-fried broccoli and baby corn, steamed rice and lychees and icecream. The shrimps were a masterpiece. Melting-in-your-mouth but not over-done and it was evident that the sauce was not a pre-prepared one.
Returned home and crashed and was lost in dreamland until 8:15 am! Woke up late, rushed through a shower and ran all the way to work. I left my pins behind at home, so will keep my hair down all day! What an idiot I can be! I surprise myself at times with my absent-mindedness. Sometimes my heart goes cold because I fear, I may be suffering from a mutant form of Alzheimer's that attacks 26 year-olds.
I skipped breakfast and now am hungry, hungry, hungry. To make matters worse, one of my colleagues (who I truly detest) is chomping and crunching on potato wafers. The smell has me craving like a 8-month pregnant woman, for potato wafers and rice crisps. Am going to go on a prowl to see what I can dig up from the other people, MS should have gum atleast!
