He told me yesterday that he nosebleed again. After seeing the last nosebleed he had, I was getting worried. Did some research on nose bleed cure and found no results. But reports said that serious nosebleed could be caused by cancer! I really hope this is not the cause for him. I decided to cook him pig liver at night...need to recover back the blood he lost. So off I rushed...left office at 6.30pm...luckily the bus came shortly after I reached the bus stop. Then changed to MRT at Ang Mo Kio..dread..never liked going to his place without car..the journey is damm long. I have to take bus, change MRT and change feeder bus again before reaching his place. Yesterday's journey took me 1hour+. Anyway, I reached Yishun Interchange and proceeded to Cold Storage to buy the ingredients to cook. I decided to cook Stir Fried Pig Liver, Chicken Soup and Toufu (I ended up with smashed toufu). Reached his house at 7.40pm..drats..my favourite TV variety show is starting at 8pm. I hurried with cooking the soup and rice first...then proceeded on with preparing the other ingredients. First time I am cooking pig liver...luckily I had some help from ma. Hee.
Called him a few times just to make sure he did not eat dinner outside, I am trying to give him a surprise by not letting him know I am at his place. He finally reached home at 9.30pm. Hee, I rushed to the door to greet him and dragged him to the kitchen. He was not really shocked to see me..but definitely he is happy. Dinner was yummy...first chicken soup I made which tasted nice..except that it was a little bitter (my first attempt of chicken soup was tasteless), the pig liver was perfect, just the way I wanted it to taste...he finished the entire plate of pig liver. Then dear told me one thing, "if you see a fat man, this means his wife is a good cook." Hehe..of cos I got the compliments I wanted to hear..afterall, all the effort in exchange for some compliments is pretty fair.
After a nice dinner, we had a "conference call" with our reno contractor. I still can't believe his quote to us is so cheap..there must be a catch somewhere..but dear keep asking me to be "openminded". Ok..I'll try. Can't wait to see the showflat they've done. Then, one of the girl he used to like called. I wanted to find out what she wants...so I asked him to call her back. Hmm..nothing special. She works as a insurance agent...so calls for a purpose I guess. Can't stand those agents...I wonder if they still have friends..one of my close Sec School friend became a agent also..and ever since then, whenever she call or sms me..it's about "do you need any financial planning?", "shall we meet up to discuss about your policies" etc...gradually I started avoiding her calls and sms..then she resorted to sending me emails of newspaper cuttings. Sighx. Don't want to hurt her feelings, so I just told her I am leaving it to my husband to manage finances. Back to this girl...ah huh, she really call becos she wants to meet dear for his financial planning. What do you think he is? A money tree which you can find when you need to hit your quota? I don't know how you look..maybe you're real chio..but using your looks and the friends around you like this, what does this make you? I would say even "pros" in geylang are more high class...they only drag customers who go geylang and who is interested. You don't see "pros" approaching their uncles or cousins for business just because they can't hit "quota" right? Phew...venting out this frustration sure feels good. Just a piece of advice for those agents out there, if someone wants to buy your products, they'll call you. You can approach your friends for leads..but calling your friends up with a motive is so undesireable. Hope such agents can change their mentally before they lose all their friends..afterall, you only have friends and family to rely on when you're old.
