chance encounter w my mom at the bank this morn turned into a prolonged lunch appt.
managed to get all my toiletries except for pimple cream

(if i pack 30 such undies w me, i dont need to do laundry! luckily i have no qualm w wearing the same shirt n berms for 30 days.)
-stuffs 30 undies, 1 shirt n 1 pair of shorts into backpack.
*satisfied grin.

i woke up this morn n out of habit, picked up 'lifestory'.
noted that it was 23rd may n realised that it was my bro's bday.
since the past 945698 yrs, his bday never held any sig importance to me, i didnt even bother sending him a sms.
went abt my day as usual till my dad sent me a msg telling me that it was alvin's 21st bday n that i shld send him a sms.
oops.
n not only that, i dont even have alvin's no.
double oops.
i make an excellent sister.

luckily i was able to link my lappy up to the internet if not, ive to use the sick jaundiced comp.

just pesky mosquitoes accompanying me as i type thruout the night.
