Today’s not my day...well this week is not my week!

Been walking around gnashing my teeth for the past few days, it’s a wonder why Ebony came back when he did. In any case, decided wrest control of myself away from Ms Nasty-Babe and back to Ms RatuGym. So RatuGym is in da house!

Ha-ha, anyway just wanted to share a story about what Ms Nasty-Babe has been up to lately....

So she was told that she’s to accompany B2 and B3 and other B’s to Australia. In her excitement (when is she never excited about a trip, I ask u?) decided that she needed a cabin bag. After all, all those business-type travellers always look so cool and professional carrying those bags with wheels into the plane. So one lunch time found her and her ‘No-Luck’ Club members in a luggage store, trying out various cabin bags. She saw a cute black bag, a bit on the chubby side, which she liked. While her friends thought the slim brown one was waaay more attractive, Ms Nasty-Babe put her foot down and selected the chubby black one.

OK. A few days passed, and the more she looked at it, it seems, that the fatter the bag got. Then it struck her erm....oh...is the chubby one within the permitted size for a cabin baggage??

RED ALERT!

“Cabin baggage should not exceed 56cm x 36cm x 23cm or 22 ins x 14 ins x 9 ins” (Information compliments of now-not-so-new fren!)

PANIC

“Tu la chek dah habaq, yang hang pi beli bag gemuk tu pasai pa?” sez Lisz who for some reason chose to express herself in her not-too-good northern accent.

So all morning, in between meetings and responding nastily (but of course) to annoying emails from finance, found Ms Nasty-Babe measuring the dimensions of the bag over and over and over again. Hmm....if she were to press the bag a certain way, between her legs, it might just fit?

“Oer...Ms Nasty-Babe but you’re not gonna carry your bag between your legs like that are you?”

Then Ms Banks of the No-Luck Club helpfully suggests, “Eh jom kita pegi lunch kat tempat u suka dating u tu...err...KL Sentral? Then you can check the baggage size at the check-in counter there?”

U gotta be kidding?

So lunchtime saw Ms Nasty-Babe and members of the No-Luck Club driving off to KL Sentral for lunch. The sole Mrs in the group for the very first time declared – “I can’t believe we’re going through this drama!” as she sees Ms Nasty-Babe carrying the fatty bag to Ms Bank’s car. “You are such a drama queen!” Hahahaa.....Ms Nasty-Babe a drama queen??

And NO the width-challenged bag DID NOT fit the steel-measuring-bag-contraption.
So Ms Nasty-Babe had to pay RM5 more and got the fat one replaced with a sleek brown model.....

Anyway, Ms Nasty-Babe has since left the building!
