Saturday Nite Out - Tun Fatimah Style

So, it looks like I will be attending the STF old gals fund raising dinner this Saturday night after all. The Clients whose tender I am working on has decided to give us some space to breathe by giving us a two-week extension and I finally found myself without a good excuse not to go. Plus, as I mentioned before, it’s time this Srikandi awake from her slumber and contribute to the school by gracing the event with her presence. Aye?

Actually, I am a bit nervous; you know meeting old friends or old seniors (who may just think they can still stick three fingers down my throat while getting me to sing DO RE MI FA SO LA TI DO). What if I don’t know what to say? You know how flat-toned and bored I can look without even intending to be so! It just gives people the wrong ideas! No, to those old-gals reading this, please know that I am interested in what you say..it’s just that I just look like this! My apologies in advance sweethearts! Plus, there are issues of what to wear and more importantly, what to wear to make me look slim plus how to put up my hair and what shoes will go with what etc..etc..And people, tell me, how do you lose like 10 kilos in 3 days???

I invited N, but he decided to not go with me. He didn’t want to deal with Old Gal crap I suppose. Which I totally understand. I mean, no man I know so far is willing to endure an all girl school reunion without falling asleep in between or on the other extreme being scared out of his skin with the shrieks and screams that we will be displaying in delight or at shock and/or horror at meeting old friends. Without a gun stuck at his head, of course! So, I am actually grateful that he actually understood that my invite to him was just a matter of formality, and that I didn’t really want him to attend cos if he did, I wouldn't be able to be the "Old Gal" me eh?? *naughty winks* Heh! Which is why when he said, “No.” I just smiled wide, and said a quick “OK!” No follow-up or persuasion of any form shall be pursued in any way.

I am glad though that I will be there with my best pals from the old dorm; Linda and Jaja. Just with them there; I am guaranteed an awesome time. And at least Jaja and Linda shall even out the flat-toned-ness aura around me. They’re such wonderfully high-pitched shrieky pals. I love them to tiny little bits! Nevermind the shock and horror of meeting whoever-whoever, if there are any I should be shocked with lah. I am almost certain that I shall be “pleasantly” shocked. The Srikandis never fail to delight me most of the time, anyway.

So, we will be at the Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel this Saturday night, in full traditional galore. As nervous as I am, I’m actually quite quite excited over the prospect of this. I just know this will be fun. Well, it’d better be! In the meantime, there’s lots to do. I mean shrinking your legs, bums and tums has got to be a full time job eh? And in three days at that? Wish me luck!
