Damn ..

Ok, that's it. It's either rhinoplasty or a small tattoo. Lol. I decided.  Actually, I'm quite sure the tattoo will be cheaper. Unfortunately, I have one obstacle to that. A big obstacle. The Hubby.

We were on the way to town this morning after church, and I say to him, "ok, on a scale of 1 to 10 .. How angry would u be if I went and got a tattoo?" 

His answer? "Nearly 10" hahaha. 

Guess that's a no then. 

Darn. I thought it'd be cool to get a small tattoo on the back of my shoulder. An animal. I love wolves. And no, not because of Taylor Lautner, ok ?! Lol. 

Ok, why a rhinoplasty? I hate my nose. It's ugly as hell. Not say the rest of me is wonderful .. Just that my nose is the worst part of my face. See the pic !! Ugh, can die. 

Of course if The Hubby says no to a small tattoo, no way in hell he'd agree to rhinoplasty. Lol. Anyway, I think my girls have my nose .. So even if I get rid of my nose .. *sigh* - karma really doesn't like me apparently. 

Karma is a bitch.

Sigh. I swear. Every time I say something I shouldn't, it comes back to bite me ..

Just last week, I was again saying to someone (one of my girls I'm sure) that I thought champagne gold or whatever gold was an awful horrid colour on a car. And that I preferred black or a pearl white. 

Yesterday, our vehicle was at the workshop for repairs, and guess what colour the rental car was. 

Yeap. 

What. The. Hell. 

So it's a small saloon. A Toyota Corolla  Altis. Easy to drive. But really cramped. The colour is killing me. Lol. I am almost ashamed to be seen driving the damn thing. Eh, it isn't because it's an Corolla Altis ok?! Not like I myself own a luxury vehicle. It's just that I love my Honda Odyssey. And I think she's a beautiful vehicle. And my sound system is a whole lot better with 12 speakers in my MPV and my subwoofer. The one in the Altis sucks to high heaven ..

I miss my Odyssey. *sob* hope I get her back soon. 

Indeed.

My bestie just lost one of her good friends. My heart ached for her because I know she's hurting. She wrote this on IG. 

Nice, ya? She should've been a writer or a poet. I remember back in secondary school, she had a real way with words. And she could write beautiful poetry on the fly. I always was in awe of that. 

Reading what she wrote made me think about my own loss. I still miss the friend that I lost almost 2 years back.

Seriously?!

Ok. U know you watch a bit too much of American TV when you start picking up some of the phrases or words they use. My favorite word, which I more or less picked up from "Grey's Anatomy" is "seriously". Which can be said in a number of ways. Incredulously, mockingly, angrily .. I use it all the time. Sure, it doesn't say much about my vocabulary but what the hell, I'm 39 - I'm out of school. I don't need to be adding new words to my vocabulary which is already pretty decent thanks to my love for reading and going to a good secondary school years ago. 

Last week, while trying to drive out of an open air car park, and waiting patiently for some cars ahead of me to reverse into some lots, an idiot driving a tiny Kia Picanto rammed into the back of my beloved Odyssey. 

I wasn't hurt. But it took me 2 seconds to process that someone had hit me. I was kinda stunned too.

I left the engine running and jumped out of my car and the first thing I said to him was "Seriously?! You hit my car?! SERIOUSLY?!!!" He was taken aback. He hadn't come out of the car yet. I think he was shocked that he actually hit my MPV. F-ing idiot. And he wasn't sure how to react ... he did admit it was his fault (duh of course) ..

Hahahaha! Eh, the dude was really an idiot. No way this was my fault. Although, inwardly I groaned cos I KNEW somehow, The Hubby would be pining this on me. lol. And the worst thing was, I wasn't out doing anything important. I was getting my nails done. HOW UNLUCKY IS THAT? I try  to save a few bucks and visit a HDB manicure place and end up getting the car damaged. SWELL. Plus my nails hadn't completely dried ... so on top of everything else, I had a ruined manicure. *sigh* I took a few seconds to pray for patience to not HOLLER at the fella over everything. I really wanted to, trust me.

Of course, at first glance, it looked like pretty light scratches on my bumper and tailgate. He wanted me to go to his workshop to get everything sorted out .. and I resisted knowing I had every right to dictate where I wanted to get my car repaired since HE hit me. When I opened the door however, the damage was pretty obvious. And so I stuck to my guns and insisted that I would be taking the vehicle to my regular mechanic which just so happened to be the authorized dealer .. hahaha .. Kah Motor. I could tell he was getting pissed with me for not caving in and going his way. Too f-ing bad for him.

My vehicle was drive-able .. the only thing is the sensor which now detects that back door to be "open" as such I cannot lock the car with the remote so I have to manually lock it with the key. You can tell the back door isn't sitting flush against the body of the vehicle but other than that .. no outward indication that my car had been in a minor accident.

Minor though it was ... estimates on the repair have come to $8640 and I'd have to leave my precious Odyssey at the workshop for 7 whole days and get this, drive a saloon .. a Honda Civic .. It's been YEARS since I've driven a saloon. I drove a Dodge Grand Caravan in the States which was slightly bigger than the Odyssey I think.

Anyway, I am praying that the whole insurance thing goes through smoothly so that I can bring in my car for repairs soon.
