So the husband's been away the past couple of weeks. Life sux. But me and my little man's been able to survive so far. Occupied myself by making cookies and of course with other Raya preparations.
Speaking of which, I had a shock upon learning that these days, u need to present both NRIC and either bank passbook or ATM card to do any withdrawals over the counter. Was so pissed i queued up for nothing. Haiz... That's what happens when you hardly do any transactions at the branch itself.
When i came back the following day, I had a bigger shock when i saw our balance was less than expected. Turned out we've deposited a big chunk wrongly into Hilman's savings a/c instead. Correction. My husband made the deposit. Wasn't me. Haha..
Anjat man. I kept asking the girl to check her records carefully. Had to be thick-skinned lor. Hard-earned money sia.
Oh and this i must mention. I must. I must. I must. 2 years back, i kena cheated by a certain seamstress in Golden Landmark. I was desperate as time was running out and no other tailors were accepting any more orders. Anyway, not enough that she charged me 120 bux to sew a pair of kebaya. Her service was crap. When we first came to collect the baju, she pandai2 went to jahit to her own taste. I made her alter of course. Afterwhich she promised it'd be ready a wk later. That didn't happen. Not only that, she went MIA. To cut the long story short, i got my baju malam Raya at 11+. And that's supposed to be my 1st day baju. And it turned out horrible. Till now, i cringe each time i see her outside.
And this year, seems like i may have to chase for my curtains. Wah piang! I ordered from a reputable shop this time round. And just for my hall , it's almost 400 bux. Promised that it'd be ready within a wk. And it's been almost 3 wks now. Bloody hell.
Let's hope there are no other setbacks or i'd freak out. Oh well. It's funny why it's only nearing Raya everyone's sibuk to buy new stuffs. Must prepare in advance next year. In fact, i plan to change my money during CNY. Only then you can get crispy new notes. If not, fat hope lor.
Oh well, happy preparing for Raya, people!
