girl's day off.

as i expected, today was awesome fun!

it rained really heavily this morning but nothing can dampen a day out with the girls, in my humble opinion. one of my friends actually waited for the rain to stop before leaving her place, so we had to wait for her. while waiting for her, i did a bit of shopping. you cannot kill the shopaholic in me, and i can be quite the vainpot when i want to be. i wandered into diva, one of my favourite accessory shops for a lookaround, and there was a rack of discounted items, so yay. i walked out with two necklaces, worth S$8.50 in damages.

soon after i'd walked out, our latecoming friend had appeared and so we went to get our tickets. hooray for student rates, because we got to save $1.50 on the movie tickets. we then proceeded to a hong kong style cafe for lunch, and we went completely bonkers on the dim sum. i believe i ate too much for my own good and i've refused to take my blood sugar reading since (i am off to the gym after i write this though). the dim sum, especially the char siu (chinese bbq pork) pastries were so delicious!

the highlight of the day was the movie. we finally caught definitely, maybe! :) nothing like a good ol' chick flick to make a girl smile. i love chick flicks, no matter how cheesy or similar they all are in the end. i repeat, there is NOTHING like a nice chick flick to make me smile.

i thought the story was oh-so-sweet, the chemistry between the dad and kid was pretty darn good, and who can resist a nice little romantic comedy on a grey day? not me! one of my friends and i loved the fact that the lead character truly loved the woman he had never been in a relationship with. it induced a fair bit of squealing from two of us. oh and i admit to spending a good amount of time mentally drooling at ryan reynolds, who i found to be rather charming in the movie. time to search for two guys, a girl and a pizza place reruns.

so it was a great girl's day out, and this girl's day off from diabetes. or rather, a temporary day off, because right now it's off to the gym to beat my blood sugar back on track. but even so, i reckon that taking time off to do silly things with the girlfriends, like order way too much food for three people and squeal our way through a sweet romantic comedy must surely be one of the best things in the world, ever.
