gifty monday!

as a rule, Mondays generally suck. But the world is out to contradict everything I say, it seems. 

The day started with a little packet on my table, which turned out to be a magnet from a colleague who had just returned from China! Following which, another colleague, also on her first day back from her holiday, handed me a little bag with a lip balm from Kiehl’s, and Maybelline’s new fancy super lengthening mascara (not available in Singapore, folks!) – so I promised I would test it out tomorrow, and am going to layer that stuff until my lashes are too heavy to lift! 

I stepped out alone during lunch to run some chores, and then decided to have a nice quiet cup of coffee at Starbucks at Centrepoint with lunch (picked up some sushi from Cold Storage). I managed to find me a cosy little spot, and flipped through a home decor magazine (I’m still looking for ideas to decorate my new room with), and all in all, left with a warm fuzzy feeling (it had nothing to do with the coffee I had). On my way back, while crossing a traffic junction (mid-way through too, I should add), I slowed down, and squinted my eyes, stopped, and then looking at this person walking by, said, “Addy??”

Thankfully this person didn’t look at me like I was a nutcase (well, she could have, what with my new haircut and all, but more about that in a seperate post), but instead said “OMG! Mehreen!!” It turned out she had just stopped at the office to drop off some things, and was on her way to the hairdressers. So sure, other people may have met her at work, but I don’t share addys. (muahahaha). Anyways, after getting (further) beautified, addy came back us poor things in the office, and came to distribute MORE gifties!! So from this haul, I got a little handphone danglies, with my name written on a tiny little grain of rice, and that put into a little tube. I also got a cigarette lighter, in the shape and design of the Olympic torch!!

Overall, not too bad a Monday after all!
