The funniest things happen at the most unexpected time

The funniest thing happened to me when I was on my way home today. You see, I had gone to one of mummy's friend's place for lunch. As such, I decided that I wouldn't like to have to rush off for work so I took off. While we were on the way home, I got a call from my boss which happened to be diverted to mummy's phone because my phone was on silent and I didn't hear a thing! When mummy's phone rang (and she has caller id), it showed that I was calling, since she had put my office number under my name. Both of us were like, what? Did my phone automatically call my mummy? Obviously at that time, we didn't realize that my office was calling. Anyway, I decided to switch back to my normal profile just in case the same person decides to call back, and she did! I answered the phone and said 'Hello?' and she asked, "Amanda?" So I said what any normal person would say, "Yes?" and then there was silence on the other line. At first I was a bit curious, I mean, who calls someone elses' phone, get confirmation that it is that person you are looking for and then keeps quiet! So I asked 'Yes, sorry, who are you?" and she said, while laughing "Angie! Where are you?" And that was when I realized that she may have forgotten that I wouldn't be going into work that day! Oh, it was so funny after clearing the confusion and I put down the phone. There were so many subtle clues and yet we didn't realize what was happening until it actually happened!

Well, today is officially the last day of the Chinese New Year celebrations. Which also marks the end of my wearing red every day plan! I know I told a friend yesterday that I was NOT going to wear red for the rest of this month but, depending on what I have to wear in my cupboard, I may just end up wearing some of my red clothes again. I personally think it's been a fun 15 days of the Lunar New Year. Yes, although I obviously wasn't really happy on selected days, I think on a whole, these 15 days has clearly been more well spent and in higher spirits than last year, or any of the years before. I only hope that this will be a good year, and that by Chinese New Year next year, I wouldn't still be in school. That I will hopefully have a higher paying job with equally nice employers and coworkers. I'm not even going to wish for a boy because every time I try, I just get ones that, I don't really want. Well, before next year arrives, I really have to put my back into it and work for it. For nothing comes without hard work, right?

The examinations are looming ahead and my final lesson for the year will be tomorrow at 12pm, ending at approximately 15minutes past 3pm. Although I should be strapping myself to the table (not the bed) to start studying, I really haven't purchased any material or will power. Though I do hope that I will get down to it and obviously not get distracted by the contest I'm joining on the 1st of March. Hahas. Nevertheless, a girl still needs to relax some times right? Though I promise, I promise I'll pull up my socks and try to start studying because I really need to. I mean, if I can do well even if it was an open book test, it means I've got the basic skills to answer the questions, right? So, all I need to do now is memorize the information and be able to apply it to the questions! Yes, I'm fully aware that I'm trying to trick myself into studying (like how a penguin tricked himself into jumping off the cliff) but, if that works best, why not try it or use it right?

Well, there isn't any use in drawing this out when I have nothing else to say. See? This is how dull my life is! Well, I think I'm going to join mummy in watching television before I do some of the MA readings this evening while she rests for work. Until the next time I come here and check back, thanks for stopping by!
