not your average monday afternoon
yesterday i had my second ever waxing appointment and i swear, i'm hooked. and it was a lot quicker and less painful than it was the first time! it all feels so smooth now, i can't help but continually run my hands over my hairless skin.
after getting waxed, Ju and i decided to catch a movie so we went to see teenage mutant ninja turtles seeing as we were both such fans as kids. its quite sad i still remember the theme song even. but sadly the movie didn't feature the song (!!) and i didn't realise it'd be completely cgi. still, there were a couple of laughs and it was nice and kinda nostalgic going to see the film.
afterwards, we headed to bugis street to check out the stalls when we caught sight of a black chick in a rather revealing backless mini dress. and as if that wasn't enough, behind her we spotted a rather smarmy indian dude, checking out her ass and looking as though his eyes might pop out of his head in sheer repulsive pleasure. you could almost see the sleazy wheels in his turning as he liked his lips.
we thought that was the end of the pervy man until a couple of shops later, we noticed that the smarmy man had stopped and was checking his phone. across the walkway, browsing some shop, we saw the girl and her friend. moments later, they walked out of the shop and low and behold, smarmy man continued moving.
it was too much to pass up and Ju was like "quick follow him!". don't ask... looking back, i don't know why we did either. it just seemed like a good idea at the time. so follow him we did, hiding behind clothes displays and pretending to browse sunglasses whenever the girl and her stalker stopped. hee, felt like our own mini-james bond adventure. in the end, nothing came of it. we followed them for like ten minutes and the dude eventually tired of it, after losing his quarry in some shop. he was incredibly creepy though! i mean, go look at some porn, don't go salivating over some girl. then again, the dress she was wearing really did beg that sort of attention... i don't know if the girl knew of her stalker because if she did, she didn't acknowledge it.
we eventually got back to our own shopping, wandering into some sex shop along the way. the things my cuz and i get up to eh?

the hoo-hah over drinking
i think i finally get what all the hoo-hah is about getting drunk. not that i was, mind you, but i do think i was suitably tipsy last night. and even though i have lousy balance anyways, i was definitely not walking straight at the end of the night. i was a little too happy and well aware that i was a buzzed.
it was fun though... perhaps a little too fun. i have a giant hickey today but thank god its hideable under regular clothes. i least i had that much sense!
the night out was exactly what i needed though. i was in a pretty shitty mood since thursday since my meeting with the Friend and it didn't help that talking to Aussie Boy put me into a worse mood (gosh, that boy is so frustrating!!! it didn't help that i was already in a mood and he was in one too and we were just snarky at each other.) but when M's text came inviting me on a night out, i decided to go for it. i wasnt about to sit at home feeling crappy. so off we went to Attica where the alcohol was flowing and the people were up for a party. i met loads of random new folks and really got to let my hair down. by the end of the night, i was feeling a lot better. and i wasn't even hung over today! :D

girlfriends are like diamonds
he asked me whats been on my mind lately and i tried side-stepping the issue, saying it was girly and i had already bored my girlfriends with it enough. he pressed again and i said i wasn't quite comfortable talking to him about it. he understood, and offered to listen whenever i was ready to talk about it. i promised him i would tell him someday.
yeah...maybe someday i'll be comfotable enough to tell him that he's been on my mind lately.
hee, ok, enough ridiculous girlyness. so i have a bit of a crush. but at least i have the guts to admit it! :D thats definitely a positive step for me.
today was a super long day. i met Ju for lunch and we hung out and shopped and just generally chatted about life. in the evening we were gonna meet her friend for dinner but as it turned out, the friend broke up with her boyfriend so we spent the night consoling her tears and telling her that she was better off without him, along with our dear friends, Ben and Jerry. it makes you realise that girlfriends truly are diamonds: men come and go but girlfriends are forever.

\"baji, nothing they wear is practical!\" - aalya as we were watching the Victoria Secret Fashion Show
lol, there's nothing like watching the VS Fashion Show to make u feel like a fatty and make you feel even guiltier for the ben and jerry's you had after dinner.
why the heck am i watching this again? oh yes, coz its like watching a car accident... its awful but you still can't help but look.

i don't like beer
i had a super long day yeasterday. i met J for lunch at holland v and had a really awesome time hanging out with her just chatting about life and prospects and job hunting, among other things. in all spontaneity, we went for massages and i swear, my back is all bruised! everytime i lean back or lie down, it hurts. but still, it was fun. afterwards we went back to her house to chill and look at photos until it was time to go.
i'd been invited to a house party by Sandy so i decided to go and i'm glad i did. the beer wasn't all that so by the end of the night, i was still probably the most sober person around but i did meet some really cool people which had been the objective in going. i left around 12 with sach who wanted to go dancing and for some reason, i tagged along, only coz the dude was so wasted, i didn't want to just leave him alone. we danced for a bit then sach got hungry so we got to mcD's where we ran into ray's cousin and a few of her brother's friends (one of whom was particularly cute) and we decided to share a cab back together.
all in all, it was a cool night out. funny tho, how soo many people seemed to think that sach and i were together. at the house party, people just assumed it which prolly hindered my chances with that argentinian who seemed to back off everytime sach was around. even later on, after we met alyssa and her friend, in the cab, after dropping sachin off, they were quizzing me and for some reason didn't believe we were just friends. lol, i guess people will believe whatever they want to eh?

i hate men
i've decided to give up on men.
yes, yes, i probably say this more times than i care to remember but i keep forgetting it as well so it always needs to be repeated.
i'm giving up on men because i simply haven't found one who is worth it. why, WHY am i always attracted to the messy ones?! why can't i just find a normal guy who doesn't have issues with commitmentphobia and being a jackass or depression. what happened to all the normal guys out there?
so yes. i've had enough of being confused and fancying people who i'm not sure i should be fancying but fancy all the same. no, i'm going back to being a player (as J so unceremoniously called me) and concentrate on being a corporate bitch. so there!

Drew and bloody napier!
i got the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
i was interviewed yesterday by Drew and Napier and it went alright though i was still nervous about it. the interview was really quiet, he said he didn't have much to ask me coz my CV was pretty impressive already so i tried to fill time by asking daft questions about the firm.
he ended with saying he'd let me know and he hoped to see more of me.
i got the call this morning. the guy who interviewed me called to say that he was happy to tell me that the firm would be happy to have me and i was seriously over the moon :D
so yes, i'm gonna be working at drew and napier! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

pensive musings
in law, they teach us the importance of representations and detrimental reliance, of how expectations can arise from certain situations and what can be done to prevent them from arising if they are not so desirable to the parties involved.
i wish there were guidelines on this for real life. when do jokes and words become representations and when can you safely rely on them, even though they may be to your detriment. how do you prevent having certain expectations from someone when you know you have no right to expect anything and yet, you aren't removing yourself from the situation and perpetuating any false impressions that may be coming across.
i know its not all in my head. but i also think it might not be as much as i may want to think it is...

this past week
i haven't blogged in a couple of days so i thought i'd update my blog thingy :)
things have been good this week. for starters, it was my birthday on wednesday and i had such an awesome time with my girlfriends :D we had some nice dinner and then went to clarke quay for a bit and it was just so much fun in a completely girly way! got loads of lovely presents as well :D jewellery from the girlies, make-up from renu, perfume from my brothers, breakfast in bed from my sis and my folks are trying to buy me jewellery but i'm just the fussiest child on earth...
today we went to so many jewellery stores, from poh heng to tiffanys and seriously, nothing caught my eye... i mean, there were a few nice peices but nothing that really made me think "wow". there is one set that i'm prolly gonna get now which i think is pretty and definitely something i will wear but yeah, it had to grow on me, it didn't jump right out at me. lol, was thinking how easy my future bf/husband is gonna have it man, diamonds are pretty and all but they just don't interest me. who knows, this may change but for now, its one girly passion that i don't seem to have...
anyways, the rest of the week was spent slaving over my essay and it has to be the shittest piece of crap i have ever written. seriously. and i don't even give a fuck anymore but it was such bollocks.
otherwise, i've had some interesting phonecalls this week... the dude called randomly from england and its still surprising how i feel nothing anymore when i speak to him when before, just his voice sent butterflies to my stomach. the conversation was so mundane and only ended coz the reception was crap and he got cut off. neither of us bothered with calling back.
the other was the friend.
*sigh*
where do i start?
he's called me a couple of times now, just out of the blue and the text messages fly back and forth between us filled with inside jokes and flirty banter. i love hearing from him and as much as he tells me i talk too much, i know he wouldn't have called me otherwise. to think i've only known him about two weeks! i actually miss him.
and yet, i have to keep reminding myself not to get involved for so many reasons. its not a good idea, he's not in a right place, it wouldn't be a random hook-up coz he's the real deal, WE'RE JUST FRIENDS.
...
