I had a meeting last two weeks with a potential client. The representatives from client company were both male and I attended the meeting with another male associate. The meeting went well Alhamdulillah. After discussing their training needs and how we can potentially serve them, we dispersed. I went to the ladies and that's when I saw it. Quite clearly, the lipstick mark on my forehead. Opppsss.... how on earth didn't I notice it earlier. I did look in the mirror at home. Probably the lighting wasn't as clear as in the ladies. I kissed hubby and hubby kissed forehead. Hence, the mark. Well... nothing can be done now. Just smile... wipe forehead and went to get my car. I just can't help but think how small and narrow the meeting table was so we are seated quite close to one another for them not to notice. Sigh! Unless of course if the lighting wasn't as bright. I think it was. Hmmm... Takper... takper... water under the bridge. I wore a badge of loving hubby :)
Opppsss Moment 2
I was too lazy to carry my big official looking diary and planner so I carried a small notepad that can fit in my handbag. I didn't give it much thought until I laid it on the table to write my thoughts. Opppsss... the picture of Winnie the Pooh on the cover. Will I be taken seriously using a notepad like that? Hmmm... quickly hide the cover.
Opppsss Moment 3
I bought a handbag during BIL and SIL's wedding last April. It was small and quite comfortable. I can carry most of my daily essentials without it looking too bulky. It was an emergency handbag bought for $70 because I thought my flowery casual handbag was unsuitable for wedding occasion. Probably nobody noticed and bothered but I just had that feeling and I have not bought any handbag for quite some time *good excuse :)* The workmanship of the handbag wasn't very good. The thread wasn't very smooth, some appears out of place here and there, but it'll do for now. The best I found at the shop that fits my need and criteria. During training, I normally carry my bigger handbag as it looks more formal for office wear. But I sometimes am too lazy to switch handbag and resorted to using the smaller one. Two days ago I noticed the strap is tearing off. It can probably last a few more months but a tattered looking handbag is not appropriate for office wear. Furthermore when it involves meeting clients. Sigh! Yesterday I put my handbag under the table. I had a meeting in Jalan Raja Laut. After the meeting I braved the crowd to shop at Sogo. It's Friday and feels like the weekend-after-salary. Didn't these people go to work. Ohhh... it's lunch time. No wonder. I walked about 3 rounds, few more at Carlo Rino and Sembonia area since they seem to have the nicest looking collection but didn't buy any. The color not right, the feel not right, the compartment not right and nothing seems to really fit the criteria of replacing the small handbag I have. Hmmm... maybe next round of shopping nearer to home.
Opppsss Moment 4
I said I didn't have anything that I really, really want on my Birthday Wish List. Suddenly a friend posted a nice looking bracelet on her FB wall. Alamak cantiknyerrr... Hmmm... I just bought a new pair of spectacles that costs $1370. Sigh! The shop assistant said dual lense 'memang' expensive. It's not ready yet. Should be by next week. Then I noticed two more spectacle shop that I have not been too. The thing is, the process of looking for a suitable frame takes some time, then customizing the lenses also takes time. I can't afford to do everything, then leave and try at another shop hoping that I might get a cheaper price elsewhere. Even finding the frame that hubby and I like is a real hassle. Take a deep breath... it is OK. This is an investment for my eyes. I've worn my old specs for like 6-7 years so it is really worth it if the new one can last that long.
My rooted Android also acting up last two days. It keeps rebooting itself. I hope it won't happen for too often. Wait till at least end of the year for it's second birthday and more models coming into the market :) Seems like things went from 'none of the above' to 'all of the above' on my birthday wish list. Sigh!
Opppsss Moment 5
I have prepared myself mentally to conduct outstation training Mon-Thu next week when I was informed it is actually Tue-Fri. Opppsss... all arrangements made with hubby just will not work anymore. Sigh! Berat betul nak berbuka and bersahur without hubby. Maybe next year kena berkeras no outstation training during Ramadhan. If it is just for two days, we can still probably manage. But four days are just too much for both of us, even during other times.
