< a day where things just fall into place on its own >
puzzled and 不爽 on being expected to attend a core review when i am in co-core dept, only to find out that both review timing clashed so i didnt have to attend the former... =P
unexpected dept visit to Bras Basah for 5 artworks prep for a cafe (카페 - ka pe) in Kyoto (WOAH!) at 2pm + last day of shopee collection near home sweet home by 745pm + dinner (저녁 - jeo nyeok) date with vv & xy @ suntec at 7pm nearly led to unnecessary back & fro travel... =S
then because vv has usd to exchange with me for my Turkiye trip and she also forgot to bring out the chocolate (초콜릿 cho keul rit) she bought for us from her recent NZ trip, we rescheduled our date to Wednesday... she saved me the hassle of having to withdraw money (돈 - deun), to go to a money changer and the much dreaded ding-dong travelling for the day!!!
