Folly Monday

As some of you already know, I am so not a morning person. It explains why I have lots of frivolous activities while driving to work. This morning was the same stories with a different twist. I woke up late than I supposedly to, again!. The usual 30 minutes preparation before we hit the road became 15. In the kalutness, mandi kerbau and all, I left my make-up pouch behind. Not that I have a lot but still… my compact powder is in there!. Gosh.. The only 2 not-really-beauty-products in my harap_je_huge_but_cluttered handbag are my Organi-c Ai-d Vit E Moisturizing Cream – simply because it can’t fit into the pouch, and G-A-P Razzleberry favorite lip balm – must be kerja Iman keluarkan dari pouch. I was about to apply the moisturizer cream when suddenly my brain started transmitting and connecting signals macam dlm iklan susu An.Mu.m tu, and a slide show of what I did last night play clearly in my head.

I was applying the new liquid eye liner given by my brother in law, bought at Madinah, hoping to get Aisha’s look from AAC. Then I saw this gorgeous guest at MawiEkin 1001 Arabian Night and started applying more. Oh, the dark teal was so heavy and instead of sweet smoky eyes, mine was like puaka kat Kampung NiangRapik. To cut the story short, I ended sleeping with those celak.

I remember even clearly that this morning, I didn’t wash my face properly: mandi sambil gosok gigi, tidak lihat cermin. I tried hard using whatever available in the car to rub off the remaining sign of me playing NiangRapik. I ask Chenta how do I look and in obvious hesitation he said “Err.. ok jek”. Sungguh tak pandai tipu!

With no compact powder to cover the uneven dark circle under around my eyes, I went to work eventually. Berani tak akak dek non?. Now, I’m in a meeting room, keeping my face down writing all this, pretending to take notes as the MatSalleh fervently explaining the whole process of migration bla bla bla. So far, nobody, yes nobody says anything about my face. Perhaps it doesn’t look that bad, perhaps people are just being kind to me, or perhaps my face is actually that bad - with or without powder sama jek and people are so used to it. I strongly believe the later. Ask Zie, she saw my horrible out of bed, totally nude face last 2 weekends. I think today, I am the worst version of my own self.

Apa pun (kekonon couldn’t care less.. haih!), I cant wait for tomorrow.

Ladies,

InsyaAllah, at this very hour, I will be at Bandung tomorrow.

Eat your heart out!
