No Simple Tasks

Today our to-do list was supposed to be rather simple:
  • Continue taking our antibiotics.
  • Go home early after work and laze recuperate.
  • But stop by Big Apple Donuts & Coffee for more donuts first.
  • Pick up wrapping paper for mum.
  • Get a quick trim from Peekaboo while they still have that 'student cut' for RM5.
Turns out things weren't gonna be so easy.

Forgot our antibiotics. Yeah, we're suppose to remind people about the importance of compliance and we ourselves forget the most important meds that require compliance. Probably that's why our constitution seems to be on a low this year.

It was the plan this morning to actually come home after work and not go Bodyjam. But around 5pm onwards there was this bit in our brain that started niggling us with restless thoughts:
Stay at home do what?
Doesn't feel right coming home so early after all these time coming back late.
It's Tracy's class!
Bodyjam single tracks are gonna be phased out, leaving only 'blocks'. Better get all you can now.
In the end we just gave up. Packed our stuff and headed off, hoping that the low health doesn't cause us to suffer later.

Oh we did get our donuts :) This one thankfully didn't get waylaid. Picked up another 3 donuts again. We feel it's a bit 'neither here nor there' because it's RM2 a piece and we could get 6 for RM9.50, but one donut won't be enough and 6 is a bit too much for supper. Yes, we could keep it in the fridge but here's why we love their donuts - it's so frickin' light.

Forget Dunkin Donuts or even Starbuck's RM4-something Sugared Donut. The pastry there fills you up. Big Apple's Donuts makes you feel like you're biting some fluffy cloud. 'Course, the choice of flavours probably are important too - yesterday's Californian Almond was an instant winner. Even the simple Glazier was good. The Choco Ring didn't stand out so much, but was still light. So anyways, otousan's review was either *way* out, or his taste buds cannot trust. Personally we thinks that he couldn't really compare (and was expecting an epiphany like kennysia when he bit into his Krispy Kreme) while we had Dunkins for lunch not long back.

Tonight's choices: Snowy, Iceberg and Witnut(?). Trust our bad memory that we've to refer to the receipt for the names, what the heck is Witnut already?

So anyways given that we're eating something so fluffly why would we want to go and put it in the fridge??? It'll just harden it up.

The only places we can find some decent cheap wrapping paper in the Curve would either be in MPH or Borders. So into Borders we go, knowing we might not leave unscathed anyways...

Picked up Dracula. Greenbacks in Borders were going for 4 for 3! So sad that there wasn't any more titles that we were interested in getting. Still, better just get one that we'd read rather than 3 more that we won't.

Also ended up pre-ordering Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (was attracted by the 20% offer, it's a ringgit better than MPH). *Sigh* From RM1.50 for wrapping paper to RM40 for paper and book. And they were out of the 'free owl' that came with the Potter book too. Oh well, considering that our Potter collection from Goblet of Fire onwards are in Bloomsbury children's cover hardback, might as well keep to it.

Didn't get our haircut too - by the time we left The Curve it was 10pm. Shall try Thursday.
