Locking myself out, 1st Anniversary weekend and Playboy!

This week started off with a fun grocery shopping trip with Princess on Sunday.

I love grocery shopping. I don’t know what I love about it but I think it’s because of the memories I had growing up. I remember following my parents grocery shopping and very often I would wish they would buy me some of the chocolates on the aisles we past by but they often said no.

Now that I’m all grown up and all though I feel so powerful. I cart down the aisle and load up my trolley with as much goodies as possible… well that and household essentials.

I also decided for the first time to try Nutrigen (instead of buying loads of Yakult like I normally do). Will tell you guys how that goes.

I drag Princess along with me. She hates grocery shopping… but she often agrees to follow me anyway 🙂 *sayang*

Monday was a typical work day for me with usual work decisions to make. This week’s decision is whether to hire more people into the Nuffnang team in Malaysia. This year has been crazy. Nuffnang as a group has hired a lot of people in all our offices around the region.

Yet I always worry about hiring too many people. It’s just a fine balance to strike. On one hand it’s having just enough people to work efficiently so that people aren’t overloaded with work and end up making mistakes. On the other hand it’s making sure the company is not too bloated.

Anyway, after work on Monday around 7PM I got down to my office car park to go pick Princess up. I was going to pick her up from work then head to her home for dinner with her family. I opened the trunk of my car, chucked my bag in there but just a thought crossed my mind on whether I remembered to bring something back from the office. So I put down the car keys I held in my hand and started rummaging through my bag.

After finding what I needed to find I zipped up my bag and shut the trunk. That was when I noticed my car auto-lock itself. Yes, my car has this really silly (or smart) mechanism where if you unlock the car then open and close the trunk, it automatically locks the car out.

Right after I shut the trunk and my car locked itself I stood still for a few seconds to digest what had just happened. I left my keys in the trunk of my car, and now my car was locked. I HAD LOCKED MYSELF OUT OF MY OWN CAR. That was when I let out a loud yell in my office car park “FUUUUUuuuuCCKKK!!!!!!”.

Nobody was around to hear me but if there were witnesses, I tell you they would’ve handed me the Award for Idiot of the Year.

Haih… anyway the rest of the week is going to be really fun. For one, this Saturday is Princess’ and mine first anniversary of being together. We’ve got some things planned out and I’ll blog about it next week when it’s all done and over with.

We’re also taking a couple of hours out of our day to hang out with some friends at the Playboy road show happening in Midvalley this Saturday to launch their new fragrances.
