Signed the agreement of lease for the flat that JX and I had successfully balloted for, on Monday! Jalilah was a very sweet motherly lady who was amused that I wanted to take pictures. And everything was over in a jiffy – not even 10am yet, which was the original appointment time.
******************************
M: Now you can’t run away anymore!
JX: You mean you ever thought of running away?
M: No? I meant that this is another step of ‘confirmation’. If you get what I mean...
JX: Oh yeah? I did all the stuffs! The application of the flat... the loan works... You just printed out the stuffs that I told you to!
M: -act dumb-
JX: And you just need to sign here and there. All because I needed another person to purchase a flat....
M: YOU MEAN IF NOT FOR ME, YOU WILL GET ANOTHER GIRL TO BUY A FLAT WITH YOU!?
JX: Haiya! (irritated)
******************************
How I love to irritate him.
Watched Burn After Reading. Uh, I read it somewhere that the story plot is a clever one. But it hardly engaged me at all. It only seemed to highlight to me how idiotic and superficial some people can be? Hardly worth the $7.50 at all! Despite a star cast of George Clooney, Brad Pitt and John Malkovich. The movie was in the comedy category but... call me shallow, but give me a slapstick anytime.
JX’s unkempt brows (did you ever notice them?) were quivering in fright – knowing their fate that day! JX had weird sparse brows towards the end because he was an adventurous, curious, hair-abhoring, cute little boy when he was a kid. A kid, he had shaved his brows to Hitler’s-moustache-size and the brows never did have the courage to grow back again. I laughed so hard when he first told me that. Nevertheless, back to the threading of his brows. We went to Browhaus at Suntec City to have his brows neatened. Being his virgin trial, I thought it to be better to bring him to the brows’ specialists, ya?

Before. After.
JX was very brave, he was in immense pain throughout the threading but he kept quiet. He said he flinched countless times but I didn’t notice. Only when he muttered “Damn pain” as we moved to the cashier to settle the bill, did I know. I muttered back, “Now you know... the pain that girls have to go through in order to look at least presentable.” Armpits. Legs. Brows. And, god-forbid, moustache...?
Next went to Oakley’s headquarters in Redhill. JX needed to buy a specs box for his precious Oakley shades.

Both of us are suckers for shades/specs...
Had dinner at JX’s home and then went to the airport to welcome my parents back from Korea. They looked tired, but you can see that they really enjoyed themselves. And Daddy was exclaiming that Mommy had enjoyed herself so much, that she was already planning for another trip before she even returned.
I gasped, “Not this year, surely, right?”
To that, my mom went silent with a smile and then burst out laughing. Deadpanned, I asked her whether they knew about the crazy market now. They knew.
I dully said, “Mommy must be dirt-rich la.”

Well, it’s good to see some people still upbeat despite the gloom everywhere.
