Let Me Be Me

*sigh*

This was my adventure today - and have decided that I absolutely dislike (very close to hating) Camberwell Junction's stupid 6-cross junction (NOTE: it is not a t-junction, not a cross junction but one with 3 roads intersecting: i dont even know what u call that!!)

So this is what happened:

1. I left work on time today and decided that since Darrel is gonna be home quite late and I am in need of some new clothes cuz Christmas is around the corner and I need new clothes for the many Christmas parties we would be attending, and also cuz sadly i had no time to go shopping lately -> Today would be a good day to drop by some of my favourite shops in Camberwell where I can find some cheap stuff my size :) .

2. I parked my car somewhere in the X mark and walked down Burke street.

3. I forgot that shops here closed at 6 SHARP. I arrived 5:45pm :(

4. Didn't manage to get ANYTHING - and hence started my journey back to my car.

5. I got distracted by this AWESOME looking sports car and subconsciously followed the pretty car out of the carpark only to realise that I was NOT exiting my usual exit (where I know the way back home) and by the time I realised it was TOO late (due to the STUPID one way streets EVERYWHERE here in Melbourne)

6. I ended up driving somewhere around the RED BLOTCH - don't ask me where I've been cuz I seriously can't remember.

7. BY some miraculous chance I ended up at the stupid Junction u see in the Picture above and by that time PLEASE note that I have completely lost my bearings and have NO idea where am I.

8. I take my chances and go straight - only realising after 5 mins maybe that I have no idea where I am going. I reach Riversdale STATION and knew for sure that if keep going I am NEVER gonna reach home.

9. Pick up my phone and try to call Darrel.

10. NO ONE ANSWERS - but i keep trying.

11. Decides that I have to make u-turn. Found out that I am on Riversdale Road. Looked around for Road signs - and discovered that I would reach Camberwell and Burke road soon

12. Question - which one would take me home???

13. No answer from Darrel :( NOT HAPPY NYDIA

14. reaches the junction and I take the first left - Thinking to myself: ONE of this 6 roads will lead me home (and I've already tried two)

15. After 5 mins - the road doesn't look familiar. Question: am I on Burke Road or Camberwell??

16. Finds out I am on Camberwell but how do I go home from Camberwell.

17. Thinking to myself: WAIT I think I recognise this church!!! But... hmmmm.. How did I go home the last time...

18. Nydia VERY ANGRY Darrel is STILL not answering his phone!!

19. Crap maybe I should make another U-Turn

20. Go BACK down on Camberwell Road. Darrel calls me back. Apparently he is in a consult - that funny fellow asked me to pull aside and WAIT.

21. Decides that I will not do that. I will try ALL the ROADS - maybe perhaps I'd reach home. After all someone did tell me Melbourne is in squares

22. Took the next left at the Stupid Junction.

23. Thinking: Oooo yea!! I'm on Burke Road. I'm pretty sure I came from here. But... why can't I recognise anything?

24. Give up!! I don't think Burke takes me home!!

25. Makes my 3rd U-turn - I am getting pretty good at making 3 point turns~!

26. Decides I'd take the 2nd left since I came from the first left.

27. 5 mins later makes my 4th U-turn and took the next left

28. and FINALLY!!! After trying ALL 6 roads!!! and making 4 plus U-turns -> I found my way back :S Which strangely enough was Burke Road (I went the opposite direction the other time)

29. Lesson of the Day: Maybe I shouldn't have gone shopping today... Or maybe it is high time I get a GPS or maybe a map in my car - Wait... but what's the use of a map when I don't even know where I am? *Sigh* Dilemma!! - A GPS it is!

30. Reached home and my parents in law asked: 'Nydia, working late today?'

Response??

'Er... Yea + *quirky smile*'

*ish* too embarrassing lar if they knew the truth :p

31. Darrel calls at 9:20pm and asked: 'U reached home babe?'

'NOPE still waiting at the Junction for you to call me back'

*tsk tsk*

Imagine if I waited :)

It's hard to stay frustrated for long.

I love Christmas!!! and I love Fridays!!!

Have a great weekend ahead :)

Ps. I LOVE that drum set :p haha* it is the cutest!

If You Only Knew

The reason for this post is kinda random:

I couldn't help but take this picture on my way back from work...

1. I couldn't help but notice this BRIGHT yellow car right in front of me - but what made it really special was that this person was almost TOO proud to be Malaysian cuz there's like this HUGE... No wait... MASSIVE PROTON word right in the middle that u can't help but notice...

2. The number plate:: (zoom in if u must) of this BRIGHT YELLOW PROTON is....

(wait for it)... LAUZY... or maybe he/she meant to spell LOUSY???

But seriously!!! what blows my minds is WHY in the WORLD would ANYONE buy a PROTON in Melbourne??

and if they really LOVE Malaysia THAT much!!! then WHY in the world PAY to have LOUSY as your number plate???

Really??? Is it really necessary???

some people really have too much money!!!!

One of my favourites in her new album :)

I was just checking out Jay Sean's new album and my favourite there has to be War...

I actually wish I had more to update... but nah, not really... Have been playing too many facebook games - Thanks to my younger sisters :(

They got me into this Korean Drama 'You're Beautiful' - I think I was really sceptical when they first BEG (I'm serious) me to watch it :) but now I'm hooked!

I guess I can never resist a film with a great soundtrack!
