On such a rare occasion, I headed out for lunch with a few of my colleagues, and slowed down what was an originally highly-charged morning.

Over lunch, we spoke of models, boobs and armpits, which of course, are pretty appetizing topics. I ain’t sure if it was the heat or the food, but I slipped into this cosy laziness that is sapping too much of my energy and concentration. And then someone mentioned about how we all should all be heading home to nap, the thought of it brought upon ultimate bliss…..

*Snaps fingers back to reality*

But cannnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooootttt!

Supposed to head to PC show earlier but much to be done(don’t ask why I could find time to blog, I need an outlet. To stimulate creativity… to… to.. to..  AHHHHHHH!!!). With so much things to complete in this one week, and much to prove in the next month, my mind is obviously all over the place.

Thus, that should justify those tiny episodes of uhm, mindlessness.

This morning I had called a cab to head to work as I had wanted to bring several bulky items, and I had great reluctance to walk to out hail one.

When I got to my office, and paid the hefty cab fare, I asked myself why did I call for a cab this morning.

Only then, did I realise, uh oh, I didn’t bring any of those things I had planned to bring.

-Palm to head-

Tsk! Waste money on cab for nothing!

(Note to self: Please bring along those things on your work desk home with you today so you could bring them for a meeting tomorrow morning)

(And if you DO remember to bring them home, please remember to bring them out for the meeting tomorrow)

Was having a meeting with the boss this morning.

Couple of weeks back, he had said something about my dress sense and how I have to “formalise” it a little. Which could be loosely translated into, “Ai yo, stop looking like an auntie can?”

So today, off went the tees, jeans and track shoes. Just a dress and flat sandals with an auntie shawl over. No falsies, no eyeshadow, no lippy, no heels… and his response…?

“Why you wear so formal like that???”

Nahbeh! I throw my notebook at you ah! I joked, and told him he is very the hard to please.

Reminded of how my new colleagues joined the team and turned up in regular shirt and pants, and he was told to dress down. And the time I wore a dress with SLIPPERS, and I still looked formal to some.

Then I sniggered very loudly when the moment we walked out of the meeting room, my colleague shouted across at him, “Eh, J! Why your shirt so ugly?!”

Instant karma!

It was a black round-neck t-shirt my boss was wearing, tucked snugly into his jeans.

Since I was wearing blue, they had asked me to go to PC show to help them give out flyers. I am still looking at my boss for him to approve the budget(he conveniently looked into the other direction). I told him I Sheng Siong(super saver!) and can Cham Siong(negotiate). Hehehe. Speaking of which, I need to polish and pick up Hokkien and expand my vocabs beyond my mahjong-language.

Most of them are already out there, while some of us will head down later to check out the offers as we gotta finish piles of work.

Been impossibly tired. Got home and spent my time jumping around on the bed with Minibean and before I knew it, 8 hours of sleep is still nowhere enough for me to feel 100%.

The little one has been getting a little demanding and she still knows how to be a sweetheart to make us all chill.

I jot down her antics somewhere, and when I am free, I should post them up soon.

Oh, forgot to mention about how this beauty salon(I very hairy and vain, trust me, I am a gorilla. So tried their trial IPL for legs for $68, which is pretty decent) tried to get me to sign up a package for armpit IPL, and the lady asked me how I remove my armpit hair. I thought of Nonny, and I was tempted.

If you had been disgusted by me enough, you would have known (speaking of devil, she just called to check if I reacted to the trial. The beauty consultant, not Nonny) I love plucking them.

Until.. she told me how the pulling and tugging will give rise to sagging armpit, and I have been doing a “nonny” everyday in front of my mirror and being really paranoid about plucking them again.

I remember a church friend of mine wanted to do IPL like 5 years back and she told me jokingly she would always wear sleeveless to go church and shout “Hallelujah!”(cos we raise our arms while we do that).

So anyway, I didn’t waiver but I am seriously considering to let the stubs grow longer so I  don’t have saggy armpits from plucking too often. I was thinking about my skin around the eyes when I pulled and tugged my brows yesterday.

But I don’t see uncles having saggy chins or more pouty lips?
