Sleepless in JB

So right now I am sitting in bed with my laptop watching Harry Potter on Channel 5.

The professor and a long hair dude are trying to kill the Mouse Man. Wait, now there's a full moon and the professor is turning into a very skinny (badly animated) werewolf. Next, a black dog pounce on the wolf. The dog lost and is writhing around. Alright, commercial break.

Gawd I'm so bored!

I'm in JB right now. It is my 'play good daughter' weekend which roughly translates to showing my face around the house and eating what is being fed to me. Now that I am fed and everyone's gone to bed, I'm bored.

I called The Man to tell him I'm bored. He said he is getting ready to go clubbing (he da happening one!) and ask me to go play mahjong or something. I called Phillip but no answer. I forgot he is hosting a party at his place tonight. I texted The Queen next but no reply also. I think she mentioned she is going Italy to buy shoes this weekend. ARGHH! Everyone has a life but me!!!

I do have something to do actually. I've got a presentation deck to prepare but I just cannot muster enough discipline to start working on it. The file is lying right there at my feet. Zzz. I am flying to India next Monday to do the presentation. On the scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most, I think I am at about 1 in terms of being excited about this trip. The Frou is going for an entire week and she is terribly, terribly unprepared.

The Toe taught me a presentation trick. She say if I suspect my participants are losing me, I should test whether they are still listening by slipping in "pappadom" midsentence. E.g. ".....and that's why it is important for you to check your liabilities in every pappadom you enter into. You don't want a third party to be able to use pappadom against you in court."

Once The Toe and I start talking cock like this, we can't stop. We came up with other ways of incorporating ‘pappadom’ like "Who moved my pappadom?" or "Oh pappadom! It's hot in here." My favourite line from her is, "Am I just hungry or are those your pappadoms?"

We are so terribly, terribly lame.

Anyway, Harry Potter just ended. The professor resigned because he anyhow turn into werewolf so cannot be around the kids. Poor thing.

Zzz..
