Indulgent weekend.
I spent a delightful Friday evening with Miss Sally at an Arabic cafe, right around the corner from my office shophouse. While the ambience was excellent for a quiet dinner, service was definitely a disappointment. For one, the (very) young minah and mat waiters looked like they would rather be anywhere but here. So the food was just alright (My guess is that most of the patrons were there not for the food but for the sheesha). Dessert was slightly better. Thank god, the company was all that mattered as Sally and I spent the whole night catching up on the gossip and the going-ons in each other's lives. When we finally left the cafe and headed home, we decided to make a date the next day for some serious shopping.
Orchard Road is one very busy, money-churning machine during the GSS. The way some aunties dig the sale bins is enough to put a jackrabbit to shame. As the clothes fly and the cash registers ring, I was happy enough to just watch Sally splurge on three pairs of shoes and other knick-knacks. Moi? Just a very cute cropped cardi that would go brilliantly with the rest of my wardrobe. Both of us decided then that we have had enough jostling and bumping with the Orchard crowd so we decided to head to Suntec. It was also partly because the both of us were suddenly hit by a serious craving for Auntie Anne's pretzels. We were duly rewarded and Sally continued with her contribution to the economy while I looked on and provided her with some sartorial advice. And now, I shall leave you with some:
FASHION LESSON #3: It is only common sense to wear the proper underwear when you are wearing hipster jeans. This does not even count as a fashion lesson but this is the best fashion advice I can give to anyone and I consider it my public duty to remind all you hipster lovers to wear the correct underwear i.e. lowcut underwear and G-strings (Triumph has got a very comfortable range and Blush! stocks some very lovely undies. So does Calvin Klein.) I have seen too many aunties, ah lians and minahs sit down, only to expose either very ugly underwear or an equally ugly buttcrack. So please please, spare the rest of us the sight of your ugly underwear and/or your UGLY ASS.
Later, darlings!
XOXO
