What do you do when you're.....

STRESSED?!! ... UPSET?!!

Monday.. foul mood .. upset about a phrase someone uttered to me:
"First Come, First Serve".

I guess it's not entirely about the phrase itself but more of an accumulation of several other factors related to it that eventually triggered this depressed state of mind.

So how do I handle things on this depressing day?

Since I know I'm in no condition to mingle with family or friends, instead of sitting at home and feeling sorry for myself, I went to Queensbay alone and wandered about aimlessly.. still deep in thought about that 'phrase' ..

While window shopping the various boutiques there, I saw a nice piece of blouse at GEB. Walau tak bercadang nak shopping, I still went in to check it out (sambil pikir-pikir kejap.. "boleh pakai ke ni?"). I hesitated to try it on but the salesgirl was very encouraging.. "try la kak, we have different sizes .. 'L ada'.. 'XL ada'.. 'double XL pun ada'.. mesti boleh pakai punya. tak beli, tak apa. try dulu.." (haha.. notice that she didn't mention the size 'M'?!). well... if she insists.. why not..

Yesss!!! the baju fits nicely, I love the material! She handed me three more to try.. and another three.. and another three.. Uiih! Semua pun cantik aaa! nak pilih yang mana? I selected 5 and told her I'd come and try more next time.. Haaa.. baru hilang tension!

Friday morning, made plans with Kathy & Noraini pegi shopping 'tudung Ariani' di Sg Petani. Had a fun time trying out the variety of 'tudungs' and finally bought 4 pieces to mix and match with my new blouses .. wheeee!

Lepas ni, nak cari shoes and maybe get myself a handbag (walaupun normally tak suka nak carry handbag, but since I'm in 'shopping mode', why not get one. this would complete my shopping spree!).

Saturday morning went for breakfast with Dilla. Pakai baju baruuu... tudung baruuu.. eemm.. tapi kasut masih kasut lama.. and no handbag. Tak paaa... coming soooon..

Sunday morning, feeling much much better. The 'foul mood' is over, I feel revitalised. I've come to realize that part of being human is the inability to maintain the same state of mind forever. As with most things, a person's mood and outlook can actually cycle from depressing lows to lofty highs!

Faiz promised to take me out shopping later petang ni (shopping lagi..! berbaloi jugak 'upset' ni. boleh upset lagi laa..!)
