Vanity and frivolousness

So what do you do when you have to go to a dinner at a posh country club but you have no time to go home and change? So what would you do to solve this problem?

Would you

(a) Go in whatever you are wearing.

(b) Just go home and change, it's ok to be late.

(c) Don't go.

(d) Buy new clothes and wear them on the spot.

What would your answer be?

This is what I did. I chose option (d). I am so vain and frivolous, I can't believe I did it. It just so happen that I had my Teachers' Day dinner tonight at 7pm. However, I had a job interview from 2-6pm. That left me 1 hour to transform myself. I know that I can't make it home by 7 or even 730 cos of terrible traffic conditions, In a whim I decided I could do better. I could still wear glamourous stuff. I went to TKC, went to the Jelita shop and told them of my predicament. Oh, they were so nice and friendly. They picked out a pretty white top for me to match with my white pants. And a fuschia scarf that matches my sandals. They steamed the clothes and tudong for me and the lady even offered to put my makeup on and she pinned my scarf so beautifully. She even asked if I want to wear her perfume! I came out feeling so sexy and stylish. Heh heh.

I am very impressed by their service. Very examplary. First class. I salute them. I always shop at Jelita and XQZT and although their clothes are similar and pricy, I laways love going back there cos of their friendliness and willingness to serve.

Gado-Gado Party

There is too much gado-gado leftovers. The teachers from the English and Humanities department had our Gado-Gado party today. The other teachers are green with envy. We each brought an item to make the gado-gado. I brought 4 packets of lontong. Apparently we all brought too much of each item. Heh heh.

Ahhhh...such bliss to be eating good food again. The new canteen vendor, her food is just passable. I miss Mr. Ban and his food.
