Working It!

This rain today has got really fantastic stamina to be able to go on for hours straight. But at least, I'm lovin' it like crazy.

My mother told me, "With this rain going, it's almost equals to having one arm gone, since you'd have to carry the umbrella."

I replied, "No, not me." and gave that innocent look.

Then she said, "For weird people like you then it's different."


Today, I went shopping. Actually, I was asked to go shopping for clothes by my mother. So I left home in the afternoon, when it was drizzling. I just refused to bring an umbrella despite the rain. I shall not be caught dead with an umbrella. Here are the reasons why:

1. Rain is cool.
2. Umbrellas hinder shopping.
3. Umbrellas are heavy and bulky.
4. Umbrellas are ugly.
5. I love to walk in the rain.
6. Umbrellas ruin my look.
7. Umbrellas do not ensure that I'm kept dry.
8. I have better things to do with my hand.
9. Umbrellas suck!

I have been in the rain many times today. In total, I think I should have had at least a full pail of rain water on me.

I was going to IMM from Jurong East MRT station. Rather long walk, considering the fact that it was raining heavier than before, but still a drizzle nonetheless. Anyways, halfway through, someone with an umbrella came up to me from behind and offered to share his brolly.

I was awestruck! It's just so weird. SO WEIRD!

But nice guy he was. And I thought there were no nice people in Singapore.

Today, I bought a green-striped long-sleeved shirt with military motifs, badges and rank, etc. From RADIOACTIVE shop in Far East Plaza. Exactly what I wanted. It was new arrival too. Indeed, arrived at the right time. I'm so lucky.

While strolling in the rain along Scotts Road, I had a brain wave and decided to get a belt too. So after buying my shirt, I went to LIPS ENTERPRISE to get my awesome belt with an even more awesome buckle. Didn't really know what to get, until the 'sista' showed me a cassette tape buckle. I was like, "Cool!". And of course I got it. It looks so vintage, so ancient yet classic. Fantastic!

That was pretty much it. Saw a nice looking cap too, but wasn't really sure if I should get it, especially when now there isn't any valid or good reason to cover up my awesome-looking hair...

I'm so excited with the new clothes. However, if I were to wear it anytime before the Chinese New Year, my mother's sure to scream. The only reason why she's prompting me to go get new clothes is because Chinese New year is coming. However, for me, getting new clothes depends on how I feel. Especially when I feel good. The dangerous thing about spending money on clothes when you're feeling down is that you're most probably gonna get ugly clothes. There's really no way for good clothes to come your way when you're feeling so negative.

Whenever I feel slightly bad, the sure-fire way to cheer myself up is to cook up a storm. Haha, okay, not much of a storm, just something minor. I love potatoes, pasta, cream, mushrooms, ham and herbs and lotsa Tabasco sauce. I'm not that much of a cook really, but I can at least whip up something that's presentable and taste okay.

Cooking is fun. It's like painting.

I've painted 'NERD' on my tee already. It looks fab. I added in dripping paint at the bottom of the letters too. In silver paint. I couldn't get the white on, so I settled with silver. Looks so cool. And I took a picture of it, with a you-cannot-believe-anyone-is-still-using-it kind of camera. Let's wait for the photos to be developed before I upload it.

Meanwhile, be VERY excited as Thursday draws near...
