Pinkelicious Pops #1

As delicious as that sounds, it’s not a new strawberry ice-cream! It’s just the random bits and bobs, or the pinks and pops as you may, that makes up my day!

*****

This morning, I was doing my usual running up and down between the office floors to deliver some docs. I opened the door to the stairwell and the sweet scent of incense smacked me in the face. Now, incense in a temple is good, incense in a spa is good, incense in a stairwell when there’s no one else around is not good! When you have an over-active imagination like mine, incense wafting around brings to mind the stories of how little ghosties like to make their presence felt!

Coming down the stairs, I peeped around the corner and I swear, my skeleton practically jumped out of my skin. Below me, on the landing, sat a figure. The legs were sticking out in front of it and where the head was, was just a black blob all the way down to the chest!

I was totally freaked out until I saw the figure shift and the black blob popped up to reveal the face of a cleaner wearing a black tudung who had just been catching 40 winks! *rolls eyes* Talk about an early morning jump-start to my heart!

Pinkelle says - Don’t wear a black tudung when you intend to sleep in a deserted stairwell!

I was in the supermarket recently and was thrilled to see sanitary pads on offer. Pardon to the guys out there but pads are like diapers - When you see them on sale, do not hesitate to stock up some because they’re expensive and they never expire!

So there I was, juggling my basket, and every single person, even girls, who walked past me would peer into my basket and give a little smirk. When I went to the cashier, the cashier rang the total up with a little smirk on his face. I walked through the mall and some females looked at my bags (darn those transparent bags!) and smirked. I came back to the office to have my colleague look at my purchases and start laughing.

Pinkelle says - when you bocor next month like the new Jalan Duta Court House, don’t come looking for me!

*****

I was just asked to come back to work again on Saturday! Boo hoo…*shakes fist* This is the second Saturday I’ve been asked to come in! Just when I had so many fun things lined up for the weekend too! Bosses here seem to assume that I sold my soul to them when I signed on that dotted line of the offer letter! Perhaps I’m just uninspired but gone is the naive girl who thought that business suits, business travel and a work laptop was glamorous!

Pinkelle says - Life starts after work so start living!

*****

Finally, one last rant! I was all for school holidays when I was a schoolkid but argh, not anymore! They cause terrible jams in the mall carpark where I work. Today I was stuck for half an hour just trying to inch my way out. And at lunch, the whole mall is full of screaming little kids who have been let loose. School kid + holiday + pocket money = a very stressed Pinkelle! Try navigating your way through little minions that come up to your knee and runaway trolleys and you’ll know what I mean!

Pinkelle says - Be good little kids and stay home during your holidays! :-P

Till the next edition of Pinkelicious Pops!

    I learnt a new word today… “bocor”.. Is that malay, chinese, or indian? That is such a cool word to use! I am going to steal it and plaster it all over my Blog one day! BOCOR! BOCOR!! BOCOR BEFORE IT’s TOO LATE!

    Pinkelle says: LB! You left Malaysia that many years already?! Bocor = leak in Malay and in recent times have become “sensitive”

    What’s bocor?

    Pinkelle says: Bocor = leak in Malay. It’s become the inword since that controversial chauvinistic comment made in Parliament a couple of weeks ago!

    I’ve got that huge bag of sanitary pads in my boot!

    Pinkelle says: Ooops! :P

    Hehehe… LOL at the ghostie in the stairwell and at LB’s bocor comment! I too, tend to stock up if I see it’s on sale! You’re right, it’s such a bargain cos’ it doesn’t expire. I love school holidays… my route to office is virtually traffic jam free!

    Pinkelle says: You lucky girl! My route to work is also relatively jam-free but OMG, the traffic in the car park getting out is a whole different matter!
