Woohoo, I Love Monday ...

As always the weekend just goes by in the blink of an eye. Not that I did anything much over the weekend mind you. Remember my arm was busted and I basically stayed home the whole weekend. The good news is my arm is 99% completely healed, I still feel a very slight tug when I move my arm too fast but otherwise it's on its way back to normal. Phew, thank god for that.

The pain wasn't as bad as it was on Friday but it was really uncomfortable, especially when I had to refrain myself from moving it too much. And for one who can't really keep his hands still, that was a real tough thing to do! I'm the kind of person who can't keep still and need to be fiddling with stuff and having only one good hand to do things was a really headache.

The sad thing was I couldn't really help wifey with our usual Saturday household chores. The poor girl had to do almost everything herself on top of having to look after me too. I did help out as best as one arm would allow though. And the other sad thing was I couldn't go for my run ... sob, sob, sob ... Well, I could have gone for it cos by Sunday the arm was much more tolerable but I didn't dare aggravate it and besides wifey would have broken both my legs if I went when I wasn't completely healed yet ... hehehe ...

I guess there would be other races for me to take part in soon. But reading about the race in the newspapers today and all the fun the contestants had sure makes me feel a little blue though. But then, there really is no reason for me to feel blue today even though it's the dreaded Monday, which I despise so much. And you wanna know why? Well, for one, today was a free day. I did have one appointment this morning, but that was a piece of cake, then when I went home for lunch wifey told me my free voucher for a complimentary spa treatment along with another voucher for a complimentary English afternoon tea for two at the Sheraton Subang came today (*HUGE BIG SMILE*) in the mail.



That's not so bad for a Monday isn't it? :D Well, the complimentary vouchers were courtesy of my favourite telecommunication company Digi Telecommunications for being such a loyal and good (ahem) customer all these years ... hehehe ... actually this isn't the first time I've received stuff from them. I've been with this Digi for as long as I can remember and have only used one other cell provider in my lifetime. And I'm almost always very prompt with my bill payments. I hate having outstanding balances in my bill and always make sure that my bills are paid on time.

There have been times I've even paid more than the billing amount (and I get an earful from wifey for paying more than is stated on the bill). I like my bills as current as possible. Even the utility bills are up to date and sometimes even over paid (ok honey, I'll stop over paying them ... hehehe ....).

And for being their loyal customer I've gotten loads of stuff from my telecommunication provider such as photo frames, cell phone discounts, a nice traveling bag, vintage sunglasses (ok, that was not true ... hehehe) but this is by far one of the best I've got, especially the English afternoon tea voucher which wifey and me are eager to use. It's been a while since the two of us went out on a date together alone (without the boys).

I'm so looking forward to it, that I'm taking leave from work this Wednesday to go for it. The boys would be at school so wifey and me can have some time to ourselves. I'm all excited about the date already ... hehehe ... I'll be sure to take loads of pictures and share them with you guys here okay? LOL! I'm not a spa kinda person but I wish they could have sent the spa vouchers a little earlier though, it sure would have come in a little handy when I was suffering from the shoulder pain last week! Oh well, it'll still be valid for a while though.

At least for once I'm not bitching about what a lousy Monday it's been. You guys know just how much I hate Mondays and how much I can complain about it, right? LOL! Now, I hope no one goes and ruins my Monday by deciding to tag me with a meme or anything (and you know who you are ... LOL!). Oooo I hear thunder in the distance and wifey also just yahoo messaged me that the skies are darker than kicap soya masin (soy sauce). I guess a storm is a brewing which suits me just fine cos the weather was a tad too stifling this afternoon. The rain would be a good respite for the heat ...

  4. Shemah - It's really strange that I actually love Mondays ... LOL!

    Yeah, that would be just peachy if every Monday was like that but somehow I know next Monday will come back and bite me with a vengeance ... LOL!

    Most definitely health comes first and the risk of getting broken legs were not too appealing ... hehehe ...

  6. I was about to blog about how I hate Mondays when I read your post. LOL! What a coincidence. After reading yours, I've decided not to bitch about Mondays lah, eventhough I really don't do Mondays. I just watched Garfield with my niece yesterday and he reminded me how much he and I have in common. Hahaha!

  11. Osindak - Winning the lottery, now that would be awesome wouldn't it? :D

    Well, I'm glad my Monday turned out fine for once ...

    Oh, and if you were to win the lottery it wouldn't be on a Monday for sure. LOL!

  12. Blusher - LOL! It's okay, go ahead and bitch about Mondays. Today is just one of those unexplained Mondays that actually turned out good.

    Oh ya, Garfield hates Mondays too ... LOL! I'm sure next Monday won't be as decent as today so I'll be back to complaining about it again next week ... hehehe ...

  18. Well I am certainly glad to hear that your pain is much better. I'm guessing that you wouldn't really be a very good patient...lol. You lucky thing getting complimentary stuff. Our telecommunications companies give us nothing so make the most of it.

    Enjoy the date with wifey and if you need someone to take the spa off your hands, well I guess I could do that for you if you ask really nicely :)
