An Amusing Night Out
I went to my company’s holiday party last night and had quite an amusing time. After a week of frantic holiday baking (Woohoo! All done!), I was on a tight schedule to get ready for the party. I first had my hair styled straight, went for a makeup session at Christian Dior, got dressed, and then rushed to the venue with only a few minutes to spare. I was quite happy with my outfit, particularly the accessories. It doesn’t leave me self-conscious or fidget with uncomfort which turned out to be rather important because it was a long night out.

Not long after the dancing began, a bunch of us left the party to go to Circa. I had the following, hmm, interesting conversation with a girl in my group.
[thumping dancing music]
Girl: So, what colour do you prefer?
Candy: Huh? Dark…I guess?
Girl: No, white/yellow/brown/black?
Candy: Huh? You totally lost me…
Girl: You know, for guys? What colour do you prefer?
Candy: Oooooooh, that’s what you meant….
There is a time and place to explain my current stance about dating guys but a loud dance club where I can barely make out what the other person’s saying is definitely not it. So for the remainder of the night, DN joked to see if I could get picked up by any girls. Haahaa. Somehow, I don’t think Circa is the place for that either.
Sometimes, I do appreciate being girl. When we were in the line-up to get into the club, the guy in front of me asked if I want to be his date because he had a no-cover pass for two. When we got to the entrance, the bouncers just waved me past the line where they pat you down. Yes, there’s definitely some perks about being a girl.
