Friday
.
I had fun on Friday!!! Bec, Jess and Yvon came over for MJ. Though objective was not met, I guess it was still fun especially when we continued with some bitching at our very usual place - Thomson Plaza.
.
By the way, my baby is going to be a MJ babe. She has been playing MJ since I was preggie with her. Keke. I can still remember vividly when I used my tummy as arm rest. So comfy.
.
MJ babe in action. She just wants to be part of the game.
.
She will always leave the table with a tile or two.
.
Dear, she can succeed you le. Just impart your mahjong power to her. haha.

Saturday
.
The day started at 10am. Since my MIL changed her mind at the very last minute, we went down to Bali Lane. At least it wasn't a wasted trip. I managed to get 2 tops, 1 skirt and 1 dress at less than 50 bucks. Then the day continued with lunch at Big Splash, some casual viewings and finally, a primary school gathering.
.
For most of them, I haven't seen them for at least 10 years. Everyone changed so much, not just in terms of appearance. Putting aside the very thick make-up the girls slapped on their faces and the uncle-ness in the guys, the very first question everyone else asked was 'what are you doing now?' My face felt so naked besides the girls'. Anyway, I am so not used to the topics. It just make me realise how we have aged.
.
I am the first in the group to have a little princess. The girls are super envious of my ang moh looking baby and my regained "figure". I know I am still fat and unattractive. Anyway, when they threw me the question (what are you doing now?), I was dumbfounded. Cheryl came to my rescue and told them I have upgraded to 'tai tai'. That somehow caused another round of excitement.
.
I do not know why but I did not share their excitement. I had this feeling, an indescribable feeling. I felt unhappy. Everyone was sharing about their job, their corporate knowledge, their new car, new business venture, new branded bags. I am like... Oki... What should I say? I can't possibly tell them what I did 2 years ago right? I am not envious of their materialistic gains. I just felt left out and unhappy. I felt lost. In fact, at this moment, I still feel very sad inside. I guess I must have appeared foolish, an ignorant housewife, old hag who never applies enough make-up.
.
Bec, don't tell me about my pretty daughter. I know she is. That is not what I am trying to drive at.
.
Dear, I know they should be the ones being envious of me for having a good husband, a pretty daughter, a slim figure (by skilful camouflage) and tai tai life. I can't help it but feel extremely terrible. I cannot control it but my tears are trying to gush out each time I think about it. I feel terribly terrible. I am going to church tomorrow to seek the peace and calling.
.
Victor and Yilin left early. I hope I still look young. Haha.
