Searching for myself

Have you ever tried googling yourself…or anyone for that matter?


While having my coffee this morning, I decided to google search myself. OMG! Seriously, speak about the age of internet! There WERE information about me, how to locate and contact me! Even my bloody Twitter account was available…lol! There were even pictures of me from my first triathlon…scaryyyyyy!!!


Oh, I googled for Hammy 3 and LB….yep, found you guys too!


Privacy? Whatever happened to that???

I am not alone...




Those who know me personally…can vouch that I can be quite OCD (Hammy 3…note keyword “quite”). Nooooo….I am not completely OCD to the point where I must wash my hands 10,000 times, or check the door shut 5x.


But, at times, I can drive some people mad, ie…like making sure my bags NEVER EVER touches the floor, my toilet roll must face a certain way, my mobile must never face down..etc etc etc…


Just when I thought nobody can be more OCD than me…AHA! How wrong I was when I came face to face with an OCD counterpart couple of days back at my manicurist’s.


JY (my beloved manicurist) and I were happily chatting as she was doing my manicure, when she suddenly startled me with “OH SHIT! 10 minutes more…FARK….she coming lah!!!”


And here I was shocked with the sudden exclamation, soon discovered that one of JY’s most OCD client was swinging by.


This was what JY HAD to do before MISS OCD arrived:


1.Wipe down the sofa….with disinfectant…AND MIND you, JY had to make sure that the disinfectant ‘smell’ stayed on for as long (and as strong) as it can, else MISS OCD will throw a hissy fit!


2. Scrub down the sink (where we soak our feet for pedicure) with Dettol…over and over and over again…THEN spray it with more disinfectant.


3. Take out MISS OCD’s ‘own’ cushion from the store….


4. Disinfect the door handle!!! (I subsequently found out that MISS OCD opens the door with her elbows, not her hands! Else she will scrub down like crazeeeee)


5. Poor JY even had to spray her place with room disinfectant (one of those thingy from Ambi Pur)


I could see the stress in JY’s face…and apparently all of these were only for PRE-ARRIVAL of MISS OCD! Yes, I was told there is normally more stuff to do when she ARRIVES……well fortunately for me, I didn’t get to stay and meet MISS OCD.


However, is good to know I am not alone and there are worse cases out there…..
