Caught in the wrong situations



Yup, after months of lusting & ranting & raving for the babe in the picture. I finally gotten hold of the iphone at last!
Even though I have more than a week to go before my next contractual upgrade, I wasted no time in calling up the mgr of Wdlands branch and told him,

" I needed my iphone fix desperately "

After knowing that it had no bluetooth connectivity and some other functions that normal handset usually have, i am also glad that it had functions that other normal handsets Dont have. Fair enough.

And the difference between an iphone and a DSLR, which I found out after visiting the epicentre in Wheellock place today, iphone dont have much accessories besides the casings. Nothing else is in demand for me. BUt the lacking thing is, the SOFTWARE.

I have a few colleagues whom owned iphones in office and manz, their wallpaper screen is filled with so many applications and games that I went berserk just looking at them. But for DSLR, its likely all the hardware that needs more monies than anything else. Geddit?

I'm still getting used to it. the functions and stuffs. even though my foreman is very impressed at me doodling with it lolx.

But of course let's not trail away from the topic. Caught in the wrong situations.
I must be very 'lucky' or I'm like centre of God attraction everytime.

So I was at MAC apple store. and i had to buy this cosmetic in M.A.C. Some "brusher" thingy. Called "Stark Naked"

It is already challenging enough trying to ask a lady about stark naked. In case I never get myself clear enough, she would think if I want to see her stark naked.

I parked my car at Wheellock, walked all the way to Takashimaya thinking there is a M.A.C store. But fate would have allow it, NO. Not a single M.A.C store in sight. then I have to walk back to Shaw centre where I am pretty sure there is one.

I aint sure if it is offensive, but I would like to make it clearly that my next paragraph does not demean anyone or any gender or any race or any company etc. In my own opinion, just a statement with no colors.

So I found myself in the M.A.C store in Shaw Centre. After a long walk. I walked right to the counter, and found a lady willing to assist me. But i had a long hard look at this lady, she aint any lady but a transgender female. I find it funny. I was at vivocity the other occasion, and there is also another trans working in M.A.C. Perhaps they make very good salesman.. i mean woman.

So the tranny (trans) was pretty friendly. I found myself at ease with him.I mean her. I was mumbling about some brusher called stark naked?

She was a bit puzzled and went to ask her colleague abt it. So in the end, it wasnt a BRUSHER, It was a BLUSHER! (and how the F*** would i know anyway) So it was in stock, but bloody expensive anyway. I cant imagine why woman would spend so much on such a small piece of 'cake'.

Tranny: "There you go, your stark naked Sir."
Me: "oh thanks. Sorry I didnt know about those cosemetics thingy very well."
Tranny: "looks like you have a lot to learn, Sister!"

-I frozed. -

Infact if I am Professor X in the X-men, I would have made the whole shopping mall froze except her and give her one hell of a beating.

There I was, in my 1.8m tall frame, with a freshly shaven moustache like Tony Leung and you're calling me sister? @*^&@^&*@%*^%@&^%&*@%@

I managed a bitter smile, paid for my purchase, rushed back to my car hoping not to get a ticket.

So I passed by starbucks and ordered my usual fav Manago Passionfruit Venti, takeaway. (I just couldnt resist sweet stuffs like this, so you guys know what to buy for me when I am in Starbucks with you next time ;) )

and I had to take it away so I could sipped it happily while driving. the gal offered me a paperbag instead of a small bag. The paperbag like the size of a normal clothing wear shop with ropes on it for easy carrying? and the drink was inside but couldnt be seen coz the bag was too tall anyway.

So i was happily sipping away on the drink and i reached my carpark. Perhaps I had too deep a swallow, and I got brain freeze for a brief moment. THEN MY neighbour happen to drive and park next to mine car, saw me with a constipated look (Brain freeze rem?), holding a paperbag the size of a pukebag, placed on my lap.
Immediately knock on my window and I managed to lowered the glass down, and he was panicking, "HEY east~ YOU OKAY!??, you need me to get a DOCTOR!?"

-I duno whether to laugh or to cry-

So like i said, CAUGHT IN the wrong situation. TWICE.

So nowadays, I know some of my friends knew there is something very wrong with me. Because of something that happened in the timeframe of history. So to put you guys at east, I am fine.

Thank you for your concern. there are somethings that is just beyond my control. and the sun and the moon doesnt rotate around me anyway. So when I am helpless, I get a very sad forlorn feeling which lasted like probably a few days until my next big purchase and I'll be engrossed with my new toy until I forget anyway.

Its not a very healthy thing to think about things that is beyond your control. then again, its also not a wise thing to think that east is shallow enough to forget about histories when he gets a new toy.

its just that... you know.. dead bodies shouldnt be dug up to face the world with so much pain and left wandering to look for the unfulfilled destiny one once had.

Or if you're okay with east being perceived as a shallow freak who enjoys very little attention span on such mundane stuffs, its is very perfectly okay too.

Which brings to my mind about what my safety manager says during our meeting on the annual family day.

"We just cant pleased anyone in this organisation, what we have to do is to believe that is right. and do the right thing. (Even if it cost the hatred of the majority - I add one, but its pretty much the same meaning anyway)

I strived to pleased everyone. Okay, probbaly about 8 in 10 ppl. its a good statistics, and sad to say, it makes you look like a whore.

So I am a whore. So live with it.

that's all for next time. See you around folks.
