The Durian-less Day

It's so interesting that I got to blog this.

I took half day this morning to look after the children as they were sick and Eve was away to teach for a few hours.

As I make my way to office to start work for the second half, my supervisor called me to ask if I am working today. The reason for asking was whether to wait for me to eat durian.

I was like "Wow Durian!!??". I said I would fly back to office even if I was on whole day leave. (I am kidding on that.)

Why this feeling? Reason being yesterday some people in my HQ secretly brought some Durians and the whole station smelt of it.

When I reach office, the Durians were not there. Not yet. They are still discussing whether to buy 10, 15 or 20. Eventually, we all thought we are settling for 15.

As I had to conduct a talk at 2pm, I have to leave just less then an hour reaching office. I was hoping that when I came back there will still be some balance left. And guess what, non.

Why? Because the Durians did not came. The person from the other branch who was suppose to order said the order for the whole station was too little so she didn't order in the end.

How sad...

The whole office was disappointed, except for Kevin. Actually it was not really that bad as we were all still joking it. Just that we were saying maybe we can get some Durians tomorrow, which we can wait as the lady said she will be ordering on Friday. A bit too long a wait right?

As I was on my way back I did not give too much thought about it. Not until I saw this at my lift:

What are the odds? Well, it was not meant to be.

That's why I am calling it "The Durian-less Day" today.
