Memorial Day Weekend

skip lunch today coz i thought to myself “joanna han, skip your lunch today coz you din work and if you keep eating the food they cooked, you’ll get FAT. go and eat a healthy bowl of cereal!” and so i dig into a healthy bowl of whole gain cereal with low fat milk.

wanted to jog today, but when i jumped off my bunker today, my calf gave way and i fell. so i decided not to strain a over-worked calf (from all the climbing up & down the damn bunker).
i strutted around the trailer slowly doing stuff that i can’t remember for almost 2 hours after-which i walked over to the free wifi & did some email checking which i gave up before the laptop battery died, coz the connection is slow & bad today.

after near to 2 hours of internet-ing, i felt hungry so i pop over to Three Bears wanting to buy beef jerky till i saw the price USD7.85. Instead i bought a Multigrain chips (USD6.85, not that cheap but definitely healthier) and a small takeaway box of cut fruits (USD2.99, watermelon and honeydew). what a healthy day~!

oh about the heading of today’s entry. well today is the beginning of the jolly good Memorial Day Weekend, where every where in United States is remembering the war heroes and having SHOPPING SALES (ironic huh?!)... and here i am sitting on my double decker bed ON MY OFF DAY, typing this entry for you all to read and perhaps laugh at my misery. WHY you should ask.. well in this god-forsaken little junction-town, there is NOTHING TO SHOP FOR.

imagine the pain and frustration when i tune to every channel on TV with every single commercial for the past three days going “Memorial Day Sale, enjoy the weekend at MACY’s/OLD NAVY/LAWES/blahblahblah”. not much of a fun, right? on a positive note, at least i keep my green dollars safe in my pocket~

well, i shouldn’t be complaining much, coz pam & pj are on duty today and (time check 1625) its long past off-duty time so i guessed they din finished their allocated rooms so they are working their ass-off to finish (hey! but it aint all that bad, coz they have 1.5 times pay for OT hours). so when i was on the way to drop our dinner tickets, i met May & company who told me the very thing i had just guessed. premonition-came-true! (yes, i stopped typing after the second paragraph, to walk to the back kitchen to drop the dinner ticket, and yes, i’ll let myself indulge in that salty dinner meal, coz its free~)...(and yes i know, i’m a cheapo)


dinner time & i’m hungry & we need a jog
