[When the tv box when on strike...]

Tonight, my house seems so peaceful. All because the tv box called for a strike earlier this afternoon. It went all quiet and no pictures can be seen except for greyish flakes. My grandma was all worried. The tv is her idea of entertainment, to pass her time. With all those dramas, sitcom and especially those morning shows on TV3 (erkss, forgotten what's the show title. Enlighten me, anyone?) So when the tv broke down this afternoon, she was pestering me to do something about it. So I checked the wires and connection. Apparently the fault did not lie with my tv set. It's the antenna connection in the building. Nothing can be done except to wait and see.

And all this resulted in a quiet evening for my family. But it has its good. As there's no entertainment at home, I decide to drag my mom along with me to the bazaar just across the road. And after that, while waiting for isya, I sit down and chatted with my grandparents (which I haven't done for quite some time. Blame it on the very limited time that I had with working and etc..etc..). We chatted for quite a while. After isya prayers, my grandma stayed in the room and chatted with me. And when my parents came back, they joined us too.

So kind of quality time spend eh?

Anyway, last evening the activity that my colleagues and I had been planning for the past weeks took place. Should say it went ok except that our bosses do not arrive in time to pay our entrance fees to the Asian Civilisation Museums. So we end up waiting there till 3 in the afternoon. But the hi-tea was ok. The pastries served were nice and the free-flow which came at a price in the first place was given to us free. So it's really a free flow hee..

I will be out of the country next week. A terkezut planned-holiday. Actually I'm supposed to leave today, but too kelam kabut for me with my bag not packed and tix not bought. So after some re-planning, it set to be mid-week. Yihaa! Holiday again..*S*
