The Opera Populaire

Had a nice homecoming last nite. Hong Xian, Shi Zhi & Pearl came to pick me up and had a great time at e airport with them, waiting for my Mom to reach on another plane. Thanks guys! Really touching. And yeah, as Pearl said, let's do it for everyone else yeah? :) Kinda missed everyone here in S'pore, tho 1 mth was really not that long. Sorry to keep u guys waiting...as I said, there was a security check all of a sudden inside.

Went to visit a doctor here, at my aunt's recommendation today. I like this doc much, much better than e one in Indo. He is so friendly and cute in a fatherly way; he put me at ease immediately. He is oso very knowledgeable. Anyway, no real new news...most of the info we knew liao. Not very negative, but not positive either. Well, well. I must put my utmost faith in e Lord, my Healer. Am thinking of attending some healing conferences just to see how they r like. Show me e way, God.

Then, we went shopping. Under some strange coincidences, Lorraine called me all e way from the UK while I was at Topshop, just like e last time! Woah and I was with my Mum back then as well. Heehee thanks ah, gal! For ur concern for me. We talked for nearly 1 hr...so good, since I haven't seen her for so long. One of e biggest joys in life is to have ur frens as ur pillars of support...my others r God and my family. Anyway, hai...I would love to see Europe all over again, but I'm afraid for e time being it's not very possible, gal. Let's go there tog some day yeah. Meanwhile, have fun in ur pilgrimage :)

Hmm...thot of something while walking Orchard Road today. My bro commented that this gal was "slutty" becos of wat she wore, which I must admit is, erm, while not very revealing, does play with ur imagination lah :p A short tube top that revealed a small waist and an asymmetrical skirt that showed off her figure. My mom said that her bf seemed ok with her dressing.

Hmm...I know of guys who r not so liberal, so to say, with wat their gfs wore while others r ok with universally (ok lah, at least among average S'poreans) accepted standards of being revealing. Perhaps e question here is differing standards and point of view, personal or shaped by e society (ok, ok I know wat u sociologists out there wanna say hehe, but I do believe that personal choice plays an important role as well).

And there is oso a question of value judgement based on wat ppl wear. Heehee as I talked abt during my A/P Kratoska presentation on Clothing, esp on e 1st level of impression and interaction, ppl attempt to understand u from the most obvious physical aspect, one of which is e clothes u wear. Therefore, clothes r very important form of non-verbal communication, if we see them in this light.

Heh just my twopence worth abt clothes and stuff.
