I can't wait to go to KOREA next week!

Meanwhile, prom should have been a blast. But I guess I still love my grandpa a lot. Still in the down mode. Doesn't help that I got a choppy fringe yesterday. My curls make me look like Goldilocks with straw stuck in the front.

I'm trying to outgrow my fringe now.

Grow, fringe, grow.

Maybe I should water it.

What made the day worse was that my camera died after taking 5 shots. Thank you, Olympus.

I almost felt shocked when the angmoh guy referred to me and jasmine as beautiful girls yesterday. He's kinda old.

But. I mean, me?

His wife/girlfriend was just behind and I could almost feel her icy dart like stares hitting my back. Scary. It's like telepathy between women.

Almost like the kind in movies where you see a girl with her husband/boyfriend and another guy who likes her/was her ex, and then the two guys look at each other straight in the eyes and clench their fists or something. Hidden men language. It's universal.

I could just feel him looking at us. AH. I was like, can I get out of this lift soon.

And jas was still in her happy, I-don't-know-anything mode. Counting the portraits on each level as the lift descended.

On a side note, foreigners do have better manners than most Singaporeans. The angmoh guy actually stepped aside and let jas and I walk out of the lift first. He said, "Ladies first," and smiled. It is the first time in my life I've heard someone other than a bellboy or doorman or butler say that to me. It's really a priviledge. Although he seemed a little lecherous, it made me feel honoured.

Well, I do get let out of the lift first by some random Singaporean guys sometimes but the magic word is in "Ladies first", you know? Sounds a little James Bond-y. It has the wow effect if done properly.

Ever wondered why James Bond is old and not really appealing but he still manages to snag all the hot babes like Halle Berry and Salma Hayek? Thats because he's a gentleman. It's kinda like inner beauty from within.

Good thing is, every guy can achieve that.

I remember I used to hang out with this friend of mine who is a guy, and he would hold the lift door and even hold my hand to bring me across the first step of the escalator (which is quite unnecessary, actually) just so that I wouldn't fall on my heels. Perhaps he thinks that all girls are so weak. Which actually makes me wonder, which guy would do that?

Although it may seem unnecessary, he is gentlemanly.

It's a good way to snag girls.

Maybe Singaporean women don't get treated well enough, haha.

Kidding.

I just realised that the Regent looks beautiful at night. And I thought it was 4 stars. Wouldn't mind staying there, actually. There are plants on every level and the plush carpet makes it look so grand. I love dim lighting because its flattering and it makes everyone glow from within. It's also kinda romantic, eh?

I seriously would consider the Regent for any future celebrations. It's not really high end but good enough for me.

What made the day good was that I was so touched by the video that I almost cried.

On the whole, prom was okay.

THE AFTER PARTY WAS A BLAST.

Hanlin should totally have gone to me and Sam to do her hair and make up. For free.

PS: Meanwhile, I feel much better now. Let out everything today! Thank you Mich and Wanyin :)

To Mich: You've always been my good friend. I can't thank you enough. You're always listening to my problems too and more than willing to share your time with me. You're also someone I can turn to when I need practical and straight-to-the-core advice. Our personalities are about the same. You're someone I can go crazy with and then give "Errr..." looks later. Haha. Thank you, I feel much better now :)

To Wanyin: I guess it was just a case of letting our emotions get the better of us. I'm glad things are back to normal! Anyway, just wanna let you know that I treasure you as my friend. We share the same taste in clothes and actually I think we are quite similar in some ways too. Thanks for listening to me about my grandpa. Don't worry. we'll find another plan for the sentosa group outing soon :) So, movie outing on still? 0 Comments
