| Day Out! |
Met up with Bizhu aka Adrielle yesterday, as well as Winnie too but later. First, I was supposed to meet BZ at City Hall, but she was very late (heehee) so I was supposed to go to Pacific Coffee and find seats first, however on the way there I got distracted by U2 and their clothes...so I went in and tried two tops. Both were short-sleeved and collared. I've been wanting a short-sleeved collared top for some time (just don't ask why). One was simply sky blue, the other was white with different shades of blue and green stripes. The material was the crumpled kind. I didn't mind, but I'd like it better if it wasn't, though I usually like the crumpled material. Anyway, indecisive as I was, I spent an eternity in the fitting room trying to decide. I couldn't buy both; that'd be too much money. In desperation I SMSed BZ, who was on her way. She said she had to see the tops first.
Finally she arrived and I threw open the door of the fitting room gratefully only to see a long line of people waiting (of course there was more than one fitting room but it was crowded) and BZ grinning away. "This is so embarrassing!" I said, too loud. Everyone must have heard me. But nevermind. BZ asked me to change into the other top (I was wearing the sky blue one when I opened the door). She said she didn't like the other one cos' it was..."Crumpled," I finished her sentence for her. Funnily, many of my friends have problems with deliberately crumpled tops...
So I bought the plain blue top. It was either that or the other one. I think that must be one of the few times when I ask my friends for advice when shopping and actually simply follow it. Usually I'll tend to go, "But I also like the other one!" and the friend(s) will go, "But you asked me for my opinion what!" Or I'd be dead set on buying something but my friend will say, "It's not you," or "HUH? You like that?" That is why sometimes I prefer shopping alone. My money, my body, my clothes, my decisions. But I guess shopping with friends is more fun. Plus it's always good to have a second opinion.
I bought a black camisole too, but I'm wondering if I can change it to a bigger size. It's a little too tight. We walked to Suntec so BZ could buy the shorts from the branch there that weren't available at Citylink. We then went to Pacific Coffee (the one near Marina Square) and thank God for the sofa seats we got! =D At which we chatted at length about...well, what do you think girls talk about when they get together? Haha. Actually, a lot of things. And not just boys (or men xP).
After that, dinner at Somerset with Winnie. According to BZ's friend, it's called Glutton Square?? Geez. When we arrived, the stalls had only opened about 10 minutes ago, but already there were people everywhere, who had not even started eating yet because their companions were queueing up. We saw a table with a bag on it (to 'symbolise' that the table is taken) but nobody sitting there. It was annoying. Finally we got three seats at a table with three other girls. Winnie was late, so we ordered first. I was a little worried about my Discman in my bag, and BZ about her MD, but we figured the other girls weren't gonna leave so soon. Thank God they were safe. =)
I had seafood minced pork noodles for six bucks. Not cheap, but I figured I probably wasn't going to go to that place again, and it was ending (it's only temporary). It was good. BZ had carrot cake (the fried kind) and being gluttons in Glutton Square as we were, we also ordered chicken wings and barbecued stingray. By the time we finished queueing and everything the food wasn't really hot anymore. And by the time Winnie arrived, it was even colder. She shared the carrot cake with BZ, and ordered satay, which all of us shared. By then the three girls had left and were replaced by four...or so we thought. Before we knew it there was a crowd at our table and we were all jostling for elbow space. Apparently those people had a gathering of some sort. Some of the things they were saying were kind of funny, but I can't remember what now. The whole table was laiden with food; most of it theirs. It was really weird. There were guys who had no place to sit at all. People probably thought we were a part of that gathering. It was only when we left that those guys standing had seats.
Oh. While waiting for seats, BZ drew my attention to someone and asked, "Is that a man or a woman?" He/she was wearing a pink striped spaghetti top, but the hair and face looked like a man. He/she (it??) didn't look like it had boobs either. Well, he/she looked like he/she had man-boobs. LOL. Part of that person's tummy was also showing. I think I'm being mean, but it was kind of funny. Not to mention weird. I can still remember what he/she looked like, but still don't know if it's a he or a she!
After dinner, BZ asked, "So what do we do now?" Both me and Winnie said, "Anything." So there we were, three "anything" people. We decided to walk around, since none of us were in a hurry to get home. We ended up, well, shopping. =P Me and BZ bought the same Giordano jacket, but in different colours. I was having trouble trying to decide between the black or white again, but settled on the white. She bought dark blue. Winnie bought a tee shirt. Winnie wanted to buy shoes, and she had a discount card (or something) from Charles & Keith, so we went there, but the shop didn't carry the shoes they wanted in their sizes. I was wondering if I should even buy. You see, for some reason my shoes wear out really easily, except the flats. But I can't wear flats for Sunday if I'm on duty for back-up, and my heels (both pairs!) were uneven. I recently bought a cheap (only $9.90) pair for Sunday, but less than a month and they're 'peeling'...and I have this impression I've been spending way too much. I feel bad about spending so much of my parents' money when I'm not earning any myself. Which reminds me. I bought a wallet for Mom, haven't given it to her yet! (Though of course it's still her money...)
Aye. I mentioned the problem of my shoes to Mom, and she said, "Buy new shoes then!" I said I couldn't bear to buy. She said perhaps I could send my heels to the cobbler's. So, hmmm. We'll see.
Yesterday was fun. =)
By the way, I have a crush on someone now...I can't say who though. People who know him read this. Maybe he reads this too, I don't know. Also, I'd be mortified if anyone other than the four people I've revealed his identity to found out. Not that there's anything wrong with liking him per se, but well...it's just embarrassing. The night before I was SMSing Sarah about it and suddenly I felt all funny inside, like I might explode into a million pieces. You know that twitchy, nervous but yet somehow exciting feeling? I felt like I needed to run it off or something. I told Sarah that suddenly having a crush on someone seemed so new. "Because it's a MARN!! LOL!"
I'll just say he's so different from guys I've liked in the past...they were not men (I don't mean they were female of course). In terms of age and/or maturity. He is unattainable. But I like it this way. I want it this way. There is no need to carry this further than a crush.
(I'm feeling that way again now... =P I feel so silly.) |
