Black Monday???

The most common term among employees is 'Monday Blues'. Is that why i'm wearing blue today? Hoping that my electrify blue baju kurung would lift up my mood & motivation on Monday. If it is than its not working. Maybe coz i'm playing it safe by matching my plain blue attire with a plain grey (with metal-like beads) hijab. But if u're a fashion hijabster, i'm sure u'll wear bold prints with hints of the same blue hue hijab. Wish I'm bolder too. i could blame it on what i wear or i can juz admit that actually i'm having the ultimate 'Monday Blues' today (susah betul nak confess.nak kena nyanyi lagu confession by usher dulu kot). hahaa...

So as i'm drowning myself in my work & discussion, suddenly my Lady Boss walks in the meeting room nagging about what she found out from her previous meeting with her boss, Diva Boss. i can't help noticing that Lady Boss kept repeating this one term while saying "Black Monday betul la hari ni". Okay that was the first time i heard the term 'Black Monday' ('Monday Blues' tau la. sume org pn tau kan..kan..). So i google it to find out what it meant. Turn out the term is used to describe the worst day in history that happens on....yup, u've guessed it peeps..on Monday. For example major drop in US market or unusual many Edward III's soldiers died from cold in 1360. Now it make me wonder if that unfortunate event happens on any other day can we call it Black Tuesday or Wednesday? (ok makin blur bila dh google.hahaa..). The information from Lady Boss does not help either coz i don't feel like it was a bad news afterall coz it doesn't concern our division. So i juz ignore that term.

Later i got an email to go to Tun Dr. Mahathir's (Tun M) talk in KL. I don't mind going but i'd appreciate if got an earlier heads up so i can book the office's driver or at least have time to do some thorough research on how to go there. In the end, me & my friend was s0o late to the event coz we got s0o lost in KL even with the help from google maps. Tun M, Malaysia's 4th Prime Minister, is a very punctual person. So this is very embarassing actually. But even at the end of his talk, Tun M has this aura to make people pay attention to him & listen to what he have to say althought he does not have to say listen..listen..listen to me..hahaa... i find that fascinating coz only a few leaders has this aura nowadays. Among them are Tun M, Ungku Aziz & Anwar Ibrahim. Anyway, all the audience got free copy of his autobiography (Malay version. Thats ok coz i already bought the English version for my dad so he can add it to his mini library in his house).   


TQ Tun M for the free book
Juz as i thought that the day could not get any worst. i return to my house in Putrajaya to find out that there's no electricity. now this is what i called 'Black Monday'. i checked the fuse box & everything seems normal. so i called hubbee & he said he already paid the previous bill. so i thougt maybe there's wiring problem (sbb pernah jadi sebelum ni tp yang effect plug je.lampu & kipas ok je.this time gelap gulita.so i mcm pelik). when hubbee comes back we went to laundry shop to iron work attire for tomorrow (moral of the story: gosok baju keje untuk seminggu terus) & went for dinner (tak masak mlm ni sbb gelap.yahoo...hee..). then on the way back home i've made some phone calls to check if TNB received previous bill's payment.turn out no payment made (hahaa..confident je hubbee ni.rupanya yang dia bayar sebelum sebelum punya bil. tak pasal2 jadi earth hoursss... ;p). so i immediately paid via maybank2u, send the proof of payment via email to tnbcareline & bear with the darkness for the night. we survived earth hours that night. huhuu... the next day i made some calls to TNB to make sure they submit my payment proof to TNB Putrajaya (untuk cancel pemotongan elektrik.sbb kalau payment via bank amek mse 3 hari utk sampai kpd TNB.so nak cepat org tnbcareline tu suggests buat camni). The next day everything went back to normal fortunately coz if not i have to call it "Black Tuesday' or 'Bleak Week' instead.hahahaa..
