Missy dumbo

I should be hitting the books for corp reporting since I might need to do adjustments for my corp project regarding the last week’s topic. I am planning for a rainy day since we got assigned to do the adjustments for operating leases. =( Who knows what responsibilities will fall upon us again! But I am feeling lazy and reading all the blogs just makes me feel like blogging too!

It had been a terrible time for me so far. At least from last Saturday all the way till yesterday. It was hectic and full of hiccups.

I was down with a bad flu since Friday and rationally, I started to pop pills to rid myself of it. But a dumbo like me ended up aggravating my condition. There were 2 types of flu medicine that I need to pop. One is a drowsy formula for night and one is a non-drowsy formula for day. And your Ms. Dumbo here, stupidly went to pop both inside her mouth on Saturday night.OMG! What a waste of medicine and such a dangerous act!

Then Sunday came although the flu is still there, there was nothing suspicious. However, by the time night falls, my head started to spin. I was down with a horrible headache which I speculated to stem from popping the wrong medicine. DUMB! DUMB! DUMB!

Never mind.

So my weekend was burnt with projects except for an Ion trip with my parents on Sunday evening. I felt so bad for not being able to stay up to read through the stuff that Mel and Tarynn came up with for Consumer Banking.

Monday was a wonder as well. Tarynn and I skipped our 12 noon risk class and went about doing projects. I was clearing up files for the operating leases and marketing for consumer banking while she looked through the notes. Then came the E-bomb (since its through email…HAHA…)! Our business processes group mates went to consult the prof without our knowledge and the email made it sounds like the prof wants us to change our whole concept. Anyway, it turned out to be a misunderstanding and we just need to add on to our existing idea to make it more grand and large-scale. PHEW! What a scare!

Something is wrong with me. There are stories about people turning into werewolves when night falls on full moon days. But I turned into a dumbo every night when I am down with flu. So here comes another dumbo episode.

I had plans to sort out the stupid GDP problem that we had with the economic analysis of our corp reporting project and probably read through the marketing and operations plan for consumer banking yesterday night. But again, STUPIDLY, I went to take my drowsy flu medicine. I am really DUMB! I am speechless at myself. And I only realized my mistake shortly after I turned on my laptop.

FINE! I can live with that.

Then came the second mistake which is more severe than the first. I finally remembered that I need to book my driving test this coming Dec. So I went to check the dates and apparently, because I was so busy with projects in the past weekend, I missed the date that I wanted which was 17th Dec by one day and the earliest date available to me was 18th Dec. But sad to say, 18th Dec was only left with the bad timing of 8.25am. So I decided to give it a miss! Then there were slots available till 22nd Dec. I was in a dilemma of whether to wait for the 23rd Dec timings to be released or take up the 21st Dec date since there was a 2.45pm slot which was good. 22nd Dec was only left with 3.45pm slot which I found to be too late. As a kiasu Singaporean, I decided to just take 21st Dec 2.45pm first before it gets booked out and probably I can change to 23rd Dec when it becomes available.

BANG! BANG! BANG! WRONG MOVE! TERRIBLE MOVE!

It slipped off my mind that once you booked your test date, you CANNOT cancel and change to another slot or date because they wouldn’t refund you a single cent! That means your 156 bucks will go down the drain! I turned cold.

Moral of the story?

NEVER EVER ATTEMPT TO DO ANYTHING WHEN YOU ARE DROWSY! JUST GO TO SLEEP EVEN IF YOU WORRY ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES!!!

And now, Ms. Dumbo is stuck with a driving test date of 21st Dec (Monday) at 2.45pm without revision lessons on 20th Dec and 19th Dec. =( I really hope I don’t fail again if not I might consider getting my parents to forget about ever seeing me drive. The amount of money that I see flying into the driving centre’s pockets is perhaps enough to finance my online buys for 1 year! Ehhh.. perhaps 8 months… No! 1 year! My heart was in great pain whenever I make online payments for my driving lessons. =(

Nonetheless, stubborn Ms. Dumbo in her distress mode still did up the GDP calculations for corp reporting after whining and whining to Mr. Mugger and her baby about her blunder. By the time I finished, my head was really spinning at such a great speed that I fell asleep, uncomfortably. By the time I woke up again, I realized that Tarynn asked me a question about consumer banking project via MSN but my sis had turned off the internet and I couldn’t reply her. =(

I am so sorry, Tarynn! Thanks Mel and Tarynn for doing up the final copy of the marketing and operations plan for consumer banking! I am sorry that I wasn’t able to look through it every time you girls finished. =(

Thanks baby and Mr. Mugger to hear me whine and whine about my stupid driving test dates.

Okay! I had my share of whining. Below are some pictures of the fascinating G2000’s reflective walls in Ion. I guess these walls might be all around Ion but we only discovered it’s wonders in G2000! Heehee…

Look at how weirdly skewed we were! Heehee…

Then daddy looloo came to join in the fun!

Gotta hit the books now so that I can have time for a short nap later to rest my weary body. I really need to rid this flu fast before all the deadlines come hunting for me!

Oh! And I think I am really powerful at whining! Just look at the length of this post! HAHA…
