hiii! i'm having my lunch break now. it's my fourth day of work. already! unbelievable!
ok actually quite believable. i was bored to near-death on the first coupla days. maybe i'll write separate accounts of my first 3 days before i forget what happened. oh but before that, i met up with neela and krupa on friday. we went to orchard, THE shopping place, to look for formal clothes! incredible fun. y'know, ALL three of us were 75 minutes late :p absolutely hopeless. and thank God, mansi you weren't here or you'd have killed us! :p :p so we met at orchard station and started aimlessly wandering around.

first stop: G2000. only office wear so it was ideal. but i saw the price tags n just fainted. seriously. didn't expect everything to be sooo expensive!! ended up buying a black shirt and cream coloured pants for $59. sigh. neela said it was a v good bargain so i just trusted her.

i tried out 5 shirts and 3 pants in total coz i wanted to be completely sure that i was getting the RIGHT thing. oh, at this time, krups disappeared to meet some certain *ahem* people. so neela n i just took lame pics and tried out expensive clothes. here's neela looking extremely professional!

and very pretty :) [OMG I JUST ATE A CHILLI. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHHHH *WATER*] and then i think the fitting room woman found out that we were taking photos, so she scolded us and we disappeared to try more stuff. here's another pair of pants which i wanted to buy since it fit so perfectly! but it cost $29 and i already have a pair of black pants so just took a pic with it. the combination's too dark anyway.




after that, krups said she was coming back, so we walked over to tangs to meet her. and she was taking AGES (because of *ahem* certain people), so me n neels treated ourselves to a delicious cookies n cream gelato! at the basement of tangs, i think. REALLY yum. and krups, we meant to give u some as a treat if u were on time. but since u still hadn't come, we ate it all up :) yum.
and then, neela wanted shoes so we went to a shoe shop. we went shoe crazy! actually not me. i just went and sat down coz i was so tired. so those cracks insisted that we take an illegal pic of us wearing crazy shoes. i was at a disadvantage since i refused to get up, so they chose a pair of GLITTERY GOLD shoes. ugh. neela picked out a bright silver one with an ugly ribbon and krups got a weird colourfully gaudy jeweled one. all three costing a bomb. and i v v nervously took a pic. i hate illegal photos man.




and then we went even MORE crazy! (actually i should exclude myself again. coz i wasn't really for the idea). they made me wear gross dresses! =((( traumatizing experience. i will not put up photos of that orange frock, which looked great on them but sick on me. and then it was PINK BLOUSES AND PURPLE PANTS! :O :O there's a pic i took which was candid. can't see neela's face but u can see the horrendous colours.




it was such a pregnant-woman shirt. sigh. and the next scary thing. A SHORT WHITE SKIRT. ugh ugh ugh. this was the disastrous effect:




and then we went to daniel yam/lam/yap, whatever his name is, to try out prom gowns. will not put up any of the long gowns coz they were all weird. we also tried out identical short dresses in different colours. v weird cutting it had. no pics of that too. ok maybe one, just to show how gross it looked.




v unflattering pics. i'm such a non-girl. that doesn't mean i'm a guy. but i think i've got too many of my dad's genes in me. or maybe amma was kinda non-feminine too. hehe i don't think she'll wanna hear that.

anyway, after all that crazy fun, we went for dinner at a place called Pizza Walker. seriously, nothing great. minute portions and crazy rules. there was this discount thing they were giving out. all those who'd spent >$20 at wisma could get free dessert worth $4.80. so we'd prepared ourselves for 2 delicious chocolate cakes when that nut waitress came and told us that the offer isn't valid from fridays to sundays. hmph.

since the restaurant was so mean to us, we didn't take any pics there but took a nice group photo outside the aquarium.




ok so that's all. that was friday. and i've finished my lunch and my break's over. one hour just went by so fast! woohooo! now all i need to do is master my "alt + tab" fingering and i won't feel bored at work anymore! but i think i'd better continue my project report for now. before i get yelled at. bye!
