what was it with this weekend?!?!
all the beautiful people are out painting the town in colorful polka dots!
sigh... i feel so DEMORALIZED!!!
and by the way, is not only the Chinese Ah-Lians who are pretty, also the Eurasians, American-born-Chinese, and Malayees... ..!!! the entire C.M.I.O powerpuff package were on display!
i was at Takashimaya Delifrance yesterday evening enjoying my Tai-Tais dinner gathering, a whole grand procession of dainty sweet-faced maidens. complete with matt complexion, sharp nose, high brows, and a light hint of eyeshadow. tagging in line are their princely consorts escorting their royal highnesses. feel as if i was withnessing a royal Gala Parade welcoming of the Mid-Autumn Festival... ... (insert mooncakes, lanterns, pomelos and Chinese Tea)
sorry but i canot help feeling envious! all so gorgeous! like larger-than-life Barbie dolls?
am i wrong to feel jealous, no? Michele and Elaine would agree with me. hahaha!
(Club Spinsters / Maidens Unwanted / Citizens of no-suitors land) that's us!!!
then, i was at Siglap Springvale Haagen Daz tis evening trying hard to read my "Woman, Man, Bangkok" by Barme while being amply entertained by my beloved Joshua and his silly antics. once again, there's something wrong with this weekend right?!?!?!
tis time, it wasn't just long-legged slim beautiful angels fluttering past me.
bring in the men!!! yeah!!! young good-looking punks driving BMWs, Volkswagen Tourage, Lexus RX300, Audi A4 etc... whoa!!! such eye-candies well decorated with decorum of glittering riches and gold. these yuppies are living the high life! (how? i don't know.) cafe lifestyles, wine under the stars, good food, fast cars, Zara men tops, and leather loafers! kewl!
well, enough of gushing. high life, material luxuries, gourmet food, fast cars and a multi-cards wallet are nice! but personally... wealth and material luxuries are of transitory nature. they are not eternal. the happiness bought are temporal too. sooner or later, the novelty wears off and one would seek newer, better gadgets. it is fine to be envious. i admit that i was envious too. it is right to work your way honestly towards such material rewards. but there lies a thin fine line between "i would love to have that .. but i am ok to do without it" and "i die-die must have that.... buy it for me!" translated into, a thin line between a want and an obession with material enjoyments. to me, sufficient and easy to go by is enough. too much of a good thing loses its significance and value. serving God is more fulfilling.
and i don't agree to women living of their men either. really. if you want a 0.5 carat platinum diamond ring. you wanna go spa and personal-trainer gym. go earn your own dough. right?
but then again, offer me a 0.5 carat diamond ring and i'll probably not reject it? heehee!
Joshua's parents are really nice and warm people.
Joshua's Dad is hilarious!
