A day which made me feel thick-skinned.
Today was another tiring day but business was real good. We went downtown to get some stuff and headed to Foodtown to get groceries - we bought heaps of stuff to last us for another 2 weeks. My bag was full of notes and the groceries were so heavy. By that time, I was already dazed - I was so tired. We walked to the entrance and when the door opened, we realized it was pouring outside. It was already dark and cold and I was too tired to walk the steep slope with the freaking heavy bag in that kind of rain. We stood there for a moment and I looked at Carol and said. 'No. I'm not going to walk home.' Then I looked behind us, at the carpark. 'Let's go and get a lift.' I can't believe she agreed. I guess she was too tired as well.

So we walked around the carpark trying to find people who looked friendly enough to give us a lift. Actually I was damn scared we are gonna get scolded. I don't think people hitch rides in town. I don't even know if hitching rides here is normal. But I don't care! I'm not going to walk back! We saw a couple and thought they looked pretty alright so we followed them to their car and asked if they could give us a lift. They were like.. ermmmm.. different direction. Ok, so we walked around again, saw another car with young teens and ran to stop them. But they said they were going in a different direction as well. Then we saw another couple, nearly asked them but saw the lady talking real fiercely to her husband so we were thinking.. better not. Then we saw another girl, and we started following her to her car. Omg. I felt damn stupid and embarrassed..its as if we were stalkers. We asked sheepishly and she was nice enough to give us a lift back - right at our door step. We were damn lucky - and that decision was just spontaneous. I never expected that I would think of that and never expected we would actually really do that. Haha but it was...another experience I guess.

We reached home, packed the stuff and when I saw the ribbon on Carol's table, I realized.. we forgot to buy Alex's birthday present AGAIN! This is the 2nd time. No way we're going down to foodtown again. Die also don't want. I'm so dead tired. Tomorrow is another crazily busy day. Oh no. As I'm typing this, I realized I haven't done our advertisement poster. Damn. Anyways, we searched the whole freaking house for stuff to chip in to his present and we came up with a hamper full of groceries. Finally, thats settled - it looks pretty damn cool even with a hong bao attached to it
