ape cape

the colleagues in my previous unit treated me to a belated birthday lunch. so sweet of them. the 'boss' who never came to be asked me to pick an ang pow out of three, it's her gift to me for my birthday. i had to pick the sweetest and most un-me necklace, ha ha. it's got the quintessential ribbon and the quintessential heart. i almost wanted to put it back and draw again so i won't rob someone of a chance to own such a sweet thang. apparently, each gift is unique. anyway, i kept it.

the aunty in the group said the cape's like batman's. she's the funniest, lah. she would ask us if we're wearing new clothes which we've probably worn a thousand times, but she didn't comment on the top i had on -- i didn't even realise i owned such a top, i probably hadn't worn it for 5 years or more. it's quite un-me, i almost couldn't step out of the house cos i couldn't decide if i should belt up or not. belts are one of those things that hinder movement. i'd wanted to belt up only cos it would serve to 'balance up' the proportion of the short high-necked top on my torso. and i think i lost my favourite oxfords :(
