I went shopping with my second sister last Saturday. There is a legitimate excuse ok...not just random shopping (of coz, the word "excuse" says something else, I know). I have to get a dress for one of my best fren's (Chuan) wedding, which will take place end Oct. I have exactly a mth to get all the necessary stuff ready. I, of coz, with the rest of the clique, Fen, Hui, Yuan (I'm assuming her too) and Net (though she's a mommy now) will be her "sisters". And she has asked Fen and myself to be her emcees! *jitters* I know I know...normally emcees are a guy and a girl. But who cares...Chuan doesn't mind. ANyways, she said her hubby's (Thomas) side don't really have guys who can be emcees, so...
We haven't even got down to planning the speech, much lest talk about a run-through. Which does worry me a little. I've never been an emcee before, and much as Chuan has confidence in me, I'm not so sure myself. I can already visualise myself clutching the prepared speech...hahaha
ANyways, I went to 'IS', tried on like, 8 dresses...just couldn't find a piece to fit me...=( Sigh...I don't have those super slim figures loh, what to do. Then my sister suggested that we move on to Suntec Daniel Yam (DY), which may have a better fit of dresses, though mabbe more costly. I was desperate enuff to try anything by now...the fear of not getting the dress is really there.
So by the time we reached DY, I immediately headed for all the white dresses (we have a "dress code"). The sales lady (not those young ones..shes prob middle age) is really gd, as in, she has good service. Anyway, to cut the long story short, I tried on another 8 dresses or so..and finally found one that's not too bad. At least according to my sister...although I was still apprehensive about how I look in that dress. Anyways...I may have to send it for alteration to remove a certain pattern. The sales lady told me to leave it alone, because it's nice, but I'm inclined to listen to my sister, and remove it just for the peace of mind. You see, it's a "bubble" dress..meaning the bottom is whats popular now..the bubble sort look. My sister actually said it doesn't look that bad. But thing is, I always had the impression it makes one look bigger than normal. So yeah, that's the dilemma now. =) And yes, I've got to find accessories to go with the dress...the right accessories. Drop earrings, choker perhaps...and yes, the right heels to match. Gosh...less than a mth away...Anyways...tink I shall stop here. No mood to continue for now liao. Work has zapped aaway most of my energy during the day liao.
