Of Rainy Days and Cold Office Air-Con

Today has been a rather slow day, after the excitement of the last few months. I haven't had such a slow day in a long long time, since December 2004, in fact, when I used to wonder if my boss was going to walk in the office and tell me that my services were no longer required since we obviously didn't have enough work to afford my (not so unaffordable) salary.

Had a lovely trip to the hairdressers today and highlighted my hair again for the first time since The Pregnancy. Feel like a whole new person! For one thing, I no longer have half a head of black hair and half a head of brown. Made me look like a freak, that did. Plus the hairdressers did everything in less than 2 hours, for the bargain price of S$115. Considering how long my hair is, that's a great deal. If not for the entirely impersonal approach that they adopted (I don't think they would have realised if I had died halfway through the job), I might actually use them regularly.

Met Celine Stink Eye on my way to the hairdressers and per our unspoken arrangement, pretended not to see her. This is the same mad bitch who I've known since secondary school and who, for some real or imagined reason, just refuses to say hi to me anymore. My other friend from secondary school, Sonya Little Bamboo, says she is just crazy and I should ignore her. Yes. Well that's easier said than done, although now on further consideration, I have actually grown taller than her since we left secondary school, and I also earn considerably more. Living well is the best revenge.

Plus I did not, after having a baby girl, go and give her a stupid hippy name like "SUMMER". Imagine that. A baby girl born in FEBRUARY and she names her SUMMER. What? Cannot spell "SPRING" ah? If her baby grows up in a non-Ah Lian environment, she will surely be made fun of.

"Why is your name Summer when you are not born in the summer?"

"Did your mother misspell Slummer? Or Slammer?"

Heh. So satisfying to be wicked on the internet.

If the baby was conceived in Australia or NZ, February would be Summer. If that was the case, it's just too bad they didn't go for a more ethnic Australian name like "Didjabringabeeralong".

All are IJ girls that I've known from Sec 1. I don't think you've met them before - certainly not Celine "I Gave My Daughter A Stupid Name"
