National Day
It's the nation birthday today! So I suppose I should write something patriotic and nation loving.
However....
I seem to have forgotten about our all important day. The only thing on my mind was: Finally! A public holiday! Can sleep late! Yipee!
I did not wear red and white too. When I picked the clothes I wanted to wear yesterday and today, it did not even cross my mind to wear some variation of red and white. I didn't even watch the National Day Parade on Tee Vee.
But I think I did one patriotic act on my nation's birthday! I participated in the nation's favourite past-time: Shopping. =p
Truthfully, it was because we are going to celebrate Starr's first birthday this Saturday (3 weeks early) and I needed to get her birthday present. Her actual birthday falls on the 7th Lunar Month and my parents-in-law did not want to hold a joyous occasion on that particular month.
We did manage to get Starr's present...but on the way I also picked up cosmetics (MAC Rushmetal - Revved Up), a pink towel hairband from the cute shop that sells this seal like thing and strawberry shaped stuff at exorbitant prices, false eye lashes from The Face Shop and a top from Forever 21. I'm hopeless, I know. The Chosen One spent over a hundred at River Island after being tempted by their sales items.
And I ran into Wen! I think she's not very patriotic either coz she did not wear red and white. But then again she was working...why her company not patriotic and make all employees wear red and white? And how come need to work on National Day! She said I just missed Qiao Yun and the rest (not sure how many "the rest" did I miss though).
