Today was a hmm... how do I describe it... normal day? Well, more or less, except for a few unusual incidents.
Firstly, I wore a cap when I went out today! Haha.. it's the cap I got from Alaska. The short kind. Finally I found a type of cap that suits me. Most hats/caps don't, you see.
Guess what was the only thing I was thinking of this morning? Ok, to be truthful, it wasn't the only thing. There was this
other thing... ANyway, the more interesting and less confusing of the 2 was:
He Who Can't Marry! Yes! Haha... if you're still clueless, it's the altest K-drama I've been glued to. Actually slept at nearly 2 last night watching it. It's so funny! And the lead guy is so weird but cute... And both he and the lead actress are almost 40. Made me wonder if I'll still be single when I'm at that age... I guess it's not a bad thing, as long as people around me don't pressure me, or I at least have another single friend to accompany me.
Anyways, that wasn't the 2nd unusual thing that happened today. After running some bank errands for my mum, I went to have lunch at West Mall. While I was eating my minced meat ramen by myself and people-watching, this old
grandma bent over in front of me (
I guess cos she couldn't get my eye-contact with my cap covering the line of sight and my head buried in my bowl of noodles). Without speaking, she gestured at me to look after her bag and she just left to order her food! Well, I didn't mind cos she had a kind smile and warm happy eyes. But the weird thing was there were quite a number of empty tables around and other people too. So I was wondering.. perhaps she was feeling lonely? And wanted company? After some time, she came back to the table with her food and started eating. Oh and she sat facing me even though it was a 4-seat table and the other 2 seats were empty. I so wanted to strike up a conversation but my noodles were finishing and I didn't want to have to leave halfway while we were talking. So I didn't, although I do feel a tinge of regret, especially after I saw her praying before her meal.
Subsequently, I headed to Orchard to meet my mum for mani-pedi appointment. But I was more than an hour early and so had a chance to look around the new ION Orchard. Not that consumer-friendly for the general public since the high-end shops were expectedly filled with pricy items exceeding the budget of the average Singaporean. The only store I personally found accessible was the Artbox. By the way, they're hiring (just in case any of my audience is looking for a job). The store was filled with lotsa cute stuff and Korean music playing in the background.
The last and most unusual thing was I had to walk around Taka in disposable slippers even though I was dressed up. All because I forgot to wear open-toe shoes and didn't want to spoil my neatly-done pedicure. By the way, I painted my
nails blue...heheh.
The things a girl would do for the sake of beauty.... endure terrible pain for some and in this case, actually willing to embarrass myself in public. Here's a look at the slippers, just to show you how unsightly it was:
