I am going crazy....
And i dont mean "Fun - Crazy"
I mean...really crazy...Cuckoo!
Ok, as my colleague {E} and I moved into our own office room,
We decided to make it nice smelling...
So I told her I had an old oil burner at home
and that I'll bring it to office for us to use.
I went home to look for my old blue burner...
I have a new one now, with a deeper 'bowl' to hold more water
so I dont have to keep refilling it every so often
I remembered packing it up after buying my new brown one (2 mths ago).
So I ransacked my whole room,
Opening plastic bags, paper bags, duffel bags, backpacks,
boxes, cupboards, drawers...
Inside an old paperbag, containing all my old perfumes
(from Fragonard, Grasse - prolly all dried up by now)
and various other knick-knacks...
I found the blue box my blue burner came in
It was a gift from my BVC coursemates in UK
There were 3 blue tealights and one bottle of aromatherapy oil.
So imagine my utter confusion when I found
the burner kept inside the blue box
was Purple...
Hmmm.....oxidisation?
Ok, in my distant memory..
I do remember having a purple burner
which I used before I was given the blue one
Its not even a fancy smanschy burner either..
But since moving out of my ex's and
back to my parent's,
I DISTINCTLY remember using the blue burner...
But WHERE was it???
Ok, the purple and blue burners
look exactly alike...
same shape, size and design..
So before I check myself into
the Looney Bin...
I decided to text my ex...
to confirm I'm not crazy...
P : Hey u remember the oil burner I had? Was it purple or blue? I could swear it was blue but I found an old purple one. Tell me I'm not going crazy.
Ex : Blue la
P : Wait, then where is the blue one? Ok thanks, u just confirmed i'm going crazy
Ex : U idiot blue one here la (his place)
P : R U SURE? U mean I ransacked my whole room n nearly booked myself into Tg Rambutan for nothing? Argh!! Ok at least i can sleep tonight. Got the purple one.
Ex : Just held it up with me hands and saw blue. Either u stupid or I colour blind.
(i think he's colour blind! HAHAHA!!)
P : U a zillion percent sure its there? I'm not crazy? I thought I used the blue one here!!! (parents house) SURE? SURE??
Ex : U FOOL! (COW!)
P : U sure its not a new one u bought? Sure? Then i must be going crazy la. Coz i distinctly remember using a blue one here! Oh Gawd!
(ok, at this point I don't blame him for thinking I've officially lost it)
Ex : U are GILA and FOOL!
P : Ok thanks. Now i can sleep peacefully.

Ok call me crazy la...
But i REALLY REALLY REALLY do remember using the blue one when I moved back to my parent's.
Here's why I think so :-
#1. I used to scrub the 'cup/bowl' (blue burner), with an old toothbrush so the excess dried oil wouldn't leave a ring of crust.
The purple one I found had a very hard old ring of crust inside.
#2. It (purple burner) was stored away in a place I hardly touched since I came back from UK (in 2004).
#3. When moving out of my ex's, I remember packing the blue one in plastic bags together with my numerous bottles of aromatherapy oils and tealights.
And I had it on my bedside table until I bought the new brown one.
So although my ex says the blue one is with him...I'm still not 100% convinced, because I had totally forgotten about the purple one until I dug deep and found it..so I couldn't have JUST packed it away 2 mths ago.
Until I hold the blue one in my very own hands and see it with my own eyes...
I'm still not convinced it's at my ex's.
I'm not calling him a liar...
I just don't want to admit I'm
GOING CRAZY!!
