under my umbrella

i'm a bit pissed off.

i mean, we've been planning this batam trip since like forever. this is like, a meet-up since the last bbq party ages ago. when we finally managed to get a date that everyone could make it, why must there be someone that has to pull out?

i know sometimes we need to save money, need to pay car, house and perhaps feed the whole african continents, but it's batam for gods sake. how much can you spend there?

like 50 cents.

anyway, i'm still going. i'm never the one that acts depending on other people. some people may find it unbrearable eating on their own but if i'm hungry and alone, i'd rather eat by myself than ended up being alone,hungry and feeling sorry for myself.

plus, down 1 to 6 people is barely a big deal. i almost think i can end this silent treatment by sunday.

so according to plan, we'll board the ferry on saturday morning. all set and ready to go. in theory at least. i haven't pack, i haven't changed my money and everything but again, it's batam, not madagascar.

i'm just afraid that it rains this weekend. today, we had to cancel the ultimate frisbee again after it rained too last week. such a bummer. especially since i've already set my working mind to stop at 3pm.

this time the rain was even heavier, and up till late afternoon when we were supposed to depart for marina park, as if giving us message, 'so whatchu you gonna do about it??'.

talk about the weather bitch.

so no frisbee. i believe if it's not meant to be, it won't be. everything happens for a reason, that's what i learned from lost. that, and never take flight from sydney.

today during lunch, my friend informed me of singapore airlines 60th anniversary discount, which includes ticket to perth for 60 dollars. cheap right? but when i simulated the booking, apparently the taxes, fuel surcharge etc etc totalled up to 576 dollars.

where's the logic in that?

at least when phil stacey was voted out from american idol today, i felt like finally things are restored into order.

after the show i cleaned my house a bit, and mopped the floor. i'll have visitors tomorrow and i won't want them to come to a dusty and messy house. coz this is what i do, put a good show in front of people.

even if they screw me up by pulling out from our holiday plan.
