Went to the NTUC today to get mint-and-chocolate cookies ^_^ as a result of one of my Weird Cravings (TM). My cravings always seem to pop up at really inconvenient times, like Old Chang Kee curry puffs when I'm running late home... or hor fun at 11pm... or ba kwa when it's not Chinese New Year... or nata de coco in the middle of the Discipline Mistress's Economics lecture.
Is Very Deadly, that last one.
Anyway, I saw some really really nice CHOPSTICKS!!! in the NTUC... very Japanese/Chinese looking, with maple leaves on them! The reason why I take such an interest in (of all things) chopsticks is purely aesthetic. Camilla bunned her hair up recently with a single chopstick during Racial Harmony Day, to go with her full kimono outfit. Quite a fashion statement: odd, but very pretty. My fingers itched to pull it out, especially cos' she was sitting right in front of me.
Today Minyu turned up in school with her hair similarly done up, only she did hers with... a pencil. Yeah, the wooden carpenter-looking kind... (I got quite a shock when I stood behind her at morning assembly, but I must say it looks pretty good). ^^; Well, not that I'm going to do my hair up the same way (not after a bit of thought that is) but what surprised me was that I was seriously considering it. Is it the school culture? I recall that when I first came to HCJC, I was pretty much overwhelmed with disgust when I heard one classmate squeal to the other, "Pin, your (red and very glittery) hairband doesn't match your (some other colour and also very glittery) rubber band!" And now I'm actually thinking of twirling my hair up with a chopstick. Hmm.
But back to the subject of food, I was reminded of the last time I wanted butter cookies after school; Mi'er was walking out with me then. I said something along the lines of, "Hmm, I really want some butter cookies right now," and she gave a "*BIG GASP* You sinful girl! Do you know how fattening those things are?" And then, "Don't you know what that means?" ... I was expecting something along the lines of You'll have to work out forever and a day just to get the flab off you etc etc... when she said, "It means you'll have to share them with me!!"
*collapses*
Yeah. So I'm off to enjoy my cookies now... in case anyone's interested, they're Pepperidge Farm cookies (I swear by this brand), $4.64 at an NTUC Near You. Please go and fatten up on them. It might make me feel less guilty *evil grin*.
