Sick & Socialising

I’m awfully sorry if i passed on my illness to whomever i’ve been in close contact with…
>_<

Mr. SmallBoss was hacking and sniffing today which made me feel a tad guilty cos i might’ve passed it to him
And now i’m getting all better ho ho ho…

I almost cancelled out on the Her World/La Mer high tea thing last Sat cos i was just not feeling up to it
But i thought it’d be damn jahat to ffk whatmore i said time and again i’d go
So i dolefully pulled on a cotton dress, made up, and grabbed a taxi to Carcosa (didn’t feel like driving at all)

I wasn’t so doleful after having a few glasses of champagne  :p

No such thing as saying “I’m sick” to these girls
They’d just give you a cock stare as if alcohol isn’t the cure to cancer

So might as well just retain my energy and drink without rebelling

MadcapperMelissa ran outside to play, thinking her make up was done
And the poor make up artist went after her -_-

i like this pic of NuttyNef and i 

Chern (is that right? ack), SharonKat, WhackyDaph, Mui

Thanks to Daph for inviting
And we got happy La Mer stuff too!

… which Daddy wants to steal
“I need it more then you. You’re too young for it.”
Me:

Went home, rushed, changed and shot off to Shook

I personally think i look decent in a photograph

But i realise how CannotMakeIt i look next to Steph…
Suddenly my forehead is too big
My eyes too chinky
My nose too snubby

I look like Nemo next to her
That’s right. Nemo
Nemoooooooo

Let it go, woman, let it go.

*ohmmmmm*

Girlie Madness

Warning: Very Female Post

Stress makes you mad i think
I never used to be a ‘Shoes ‘N Bag’ girl
I never understood the insanity surrounding women with shoes and bags
I never used to be one of ‘them’
Last year, i’d delight in telling people how i’m oh-so-male-like in my purchase of shoes
One black pair. One white pair. One red pair. Set.
Like i said, this was last year.

Then boom.

It hits you as sudden as pimples and puberty
It hits so quick that you don’t even realise you’ve become one of ‘them’ and suddenly… holy shit, i AM.

I asked QueenKanch and Nadia to follow me to Vincci at Bangsar Village II after dinner
Just to look, ogle, and try not to buy anything

Problem was, we trotted into Aldo beforehand where i eyed a pretty prussian pair
And we all know what happens when you walk into a not-as-nice shop after…
Everything doesn’t look as nice as the former
And even if it does, the shoes at Vincci are around RM150-RM200
100 bucks more and i can get a pair at Aldo!

We managed to walk out of Aldo and Vincci without buying anything *miracle!*
Then QueenKanch wanted to buy ice cream at Baskin Robbins… which is just outside Aldo *miracle slowly subsiding*

“Want ice cream or not?” she asked
“No… sick la,” i pointed at my throat
Rum ‘n’ Raisin would not go hand-in-hand with my medication

Out of the corner of my eye, i could see the light from Aldo shining out like heaven

*cue gospel choir - Ahhhh!*

I shushed the damn choir in my head
And stared at Kanch and Nadia pick their ice cream
My eyes flickered to the side again

*Ahhhh!*

Then all my imaginary friends came out to play

“Enough shoes! You just bought a pair of Y3s in Jakarta.”
“Y3s? Wha..? Oh. Those.”
“Yes. Those.”
“But… those are sneakers and these are heels. Those are red and these are blue.”
“…”
“Let’s just look.”

No guesses which voice controlled my legs
I found myself sliding away from the two girls buying ice cream towards the light
It was amazing how i moved in controlled pace despite the bickering going on in my head

No guesses which voice controlled my arms
My hand moved towards the blue shoe winking at me from the shelf
Take it… take it…
I already knew how it looked on my feet, for trying the display side on just 15 minutes earlier.

NO!!! You’ll fucking BUY IT IF YOU TAKE IT NOW!!!

Ah… what’s the harm in just seeing how it looks on *both* feet then?

“Can i try them in size 37 please?” i heard myself ask the shop lady, who promptly turned around to fetch them

“What. The. Fuck.”
“Just trying. No harm.”
“Obviously ‘trying’ means ‘almost buying’ right?!?!”
“Okay. Look. Think of all the expensive shoes you have. When have you *ever* regretted buying any of them?”
 
I stare off into space as the voices pause and i recall my purchases.

“… never.”
“Exactly.”

As i sat on the couch and bent over to adjust the straps, i saw two pairs of feet appear in front of me

“See, i knew it.”
“Walk into the shop again, confirm la buy!”

I felt like i was in a sitcom, as i looked at the feet attached to the familiar voices and slowly trailed my gaze up to the disapproving looks of Kanch and Nadia
Kanch shook her head like an auntie as she daintily scooped her ice cream into her mouth

Needless to say…

As we walked out of the mall, i disliked the thought of having to walk back to the car alone with handbag, laptop and new shoes

“Hey… can fetch me to my car later? I parked in the housing area…so late and dark edi.”
“Can can.”
“Yeah. Wouldn’t want someone to nick my shoes.”
” -_- Yeah i’m sure if someone came to rob you, they’d ask for your shoes instead of your laptop. -_-”
“Yeah. I should hold my shoes tighter.”
“JOYCE!!!”
