Masquerade and Cubicles

Tuesday, October 24, 2006

I was in the toilets at Forresters and I could hear someone come in to wait outside my cubicle. Being slightly tipsy (due to the alcohol) and drowsy (due to the cold&flu medication), I took my sweetass time. I stared at the walls, the ceiling, the toilet roll etc., fazing out and such.

When I was finally done, I slowly opened the door. Waiting for me was a 30-something year old guy, dressed rather prim and proper - shirt, tie, tucked in black pants and all. I think the fact that he looked so prim and proper emphasised the fact that he and I weren't meant to be in the same restroom. After my three seconds of shock and disorientation, I felt incredibly embarassed. And then after that, I felt horrified. I cried out loud:

"Oh my god! Am I in the wrong toilets?" (While also thinking, I don't remember being drunk enough to walk into the wrong toilets!)
To which the pom replied: "No no, I'm in the wrong toilets. But don't worry, I'm probably more of a woman." (And then he did that fluttering hand movement thing)

Anyway, fast forward one hour or so. I was due for another toilet break. So I'm in my cubicle, doing my thing when I hear two people enter. I hear a female voice laugh out loud as she steps in. And then I hear a male voice. OMG it was the same guy! This guy just can't get enough of the female lavatory! So I yell out through closed doors:

"Hello! It's you again!"
"Yes, it is me!"

That was probably the strangest yet comical cubicle experience I've had. But then, I wouldn't blame a guy for wanting to use the girls' loos. Guys loos always smell disgusting :P Well, the ones I've had a brush with anyway.

It was Jennifer's 21st birthday that night. The theme was: Masquerade. Kit picked the mask for me. He does most of my shopping these days! Whatta guy!


Now you see me...now you don't!


We were so starved after work. I've never had fish and chips in a cone before.


Jennifer the birthday girl, Kit & Thao.


I don't know why, I find this photo amusing: Amira(sp?), Jay & Andrew.


A cool bar entertainment show: The potent Yaga Bomb with Yagameister and Red Bull.

I loved the masquerade theme. People didn't keep their masks on though and that was not a good idea for the birthday girl. She got splattered with a plate of ice-cream cake, courtesy of Jay, the king-gone-queen ex-boyfriend. All in good fun, though. And I had a ball taking advantage of people's beautiful masks left lying around. *MOOOOAH!*


This mask was just too gorgeous to be left all lonely by its mistress.

I'm alive

Thursday, October 19, 2006

My eyeballs feel like they're breaking out in cysts each time I blink. I desperately need sleeeeeeep!

I caught the bouquet the other day. Well, more like I was the only "single" girl in the room apparently (besides the "single" mums) who was nominated to go up. I tried to look busy; going for it on my crab claw while the MC was going around trying to scout for single chicks. He stopped at my table and I didn't realise he was talking about me until I heard, "I think the single girl is HUNGRY!" ROFL

I guess the old superstition isn't going to work out for me because I didn't try to catch the bouquet or anything. I just wanted the damn crab meat HAHA.


The flowers were real indeed

My baby cousin Quyen visited from Vietnam recently. I miss how her cheeks plumped up after her stay.



Gosh she's adorable

And I also wore a wig for the first time in my life. It made me feel like I was six again. Bath towels pinned with pegs don't count.


Why do you look so shocked?
