I always enjoy a dressing up, so I jumped at the chance when I met up with my friends Cindy and Adam for dinner. They told me they were going after work so they would be in their suits, I almost convulsed with glee as I rarely ever have a chance to wear corporate gear, being a non-commerce student at all. So I raided my closet, but went a little bit overboard in the "secretary" look department. When I met up with my friends they glared at me weakly and said, "Mel you look like a PA."
That was totally not the look I was going for...
"No!!! I'm a divorce lawyer."
"No you're not. Divorce lawyers don't dress like that."
"How about a PR Exec then?"
"That might work."
"Yay!"
So in the end I was still happy with my new found role as a PR Exec. I think I've been watching too much Cashmere Mafia.
About a month or so ago my parents and sister went overseas on holiday for 5 weeks, leaving me to defend for myself (I had Uni so I wasn't allowed to tag along). It was hard considering the only competence I have in the kitchen includes boiling water, cooking instant noodles and working the buttons of a microwave. Oh, I also know how to freeze ice cubes.
So I ended up eating out a lot. So much so, I gained a kilo. Yuck.
I was also very lonely during that time as I would come back home to a dark empty house, and I had no one to talk to about all the interesting things that happened in my day (like my wonderful Japanese writing exam for example).
But there were good things that came out of the "alone for five weeks" experience. I managed to become more confident in my driving as I had no one else to drive me around. I also realized I can be resourceful, independent and reliable... at times. I'm certainly not domesticated enough though. My lack of cleaning and cooking skills reminds me that I have to work hard so I can afford a maid in the future... -_-;;
I did make the most of my five weeks though. I went out most of the time to avoid being home alone (I'm a person who needs regular human contact). I not only finished the entire series of Sex and the City for the second time around, I also finished reading the three Twilight books (a rave that I still haven't gone on yet), I went to the Easter Show (previous post), I went to coffee with my girlfriends every Thursday night, I studied with Crystal in Chatswood Library on Saturday's, I had a two night sleep over at my house with the girls, I watched 2 Girls 1 Cup *shudders*, I watched Kermit's reaction video to 2 Girls 1 Cup *haha*, I went to a work dinner at a vegan restaurant in Newtown (being the carnivore I am, I almost died)...
I had a seven people study session at my house, but I have to say we didn't get that much work done (except for Dickie since he was in the computer room away from our gossip)...
We also managed to stuff our face with lots of cake while we "studied"...
I attempted to sell clothes I never wear at Kirribilli markets with my friends...
I was so sunburnt and dehydrated that day, I vowed that I would never ever try to sell anything outdoors again.
It was also extremely tiring, we probably had around 150kgs of clothes all up.
I went to Joycie and Stezzie's 20th Birthday party...
Joycie is once again pulling up another girl's skirt.
