Hamster Princess Blog: 陈宝珠 and Chanel of the day

It's our company DND again. Due to the economic is bad, thus I have the feeling that we may not have DND next year. So, I spend a bomb in this year DND.

Previous years, I do not need to buy any dress especially for DND. As I may purchase some clothes specially for close friends and relative wedding. All I need to spend on is to go to auntie saloon to get my hair done.

This time round, I spent $134 for my dress. It is not specially for DND but simply love that dress. In some sense, I feel that paying such high price is worth it. Something new is that my colleagues and I hired a person to makeup and design our hair for us at the cost of $75 person each.

My colleagues will come to my house to dress up for the dinner. Hee hee... all of us putting on fake eyelashes. This is the 2nd time I put on eyelashes. The effect is the WOW thing... After the makeup and the hair do, I self-declared that I looked like 陈宝珠. The theme of the DND is retro fever. Luckily that my dress is not red, later when we go out for 2nd round, those people may feel that they saw a ghost. I have to say that my dress is not retro but with makeup and hair do, I look antique.

My boss used words like 'old' and 'auntie' to describe me. Lastly, he said looks like branded advertisement from magazine, like Chanel. Thereafter, my nickname of the night will be Chanel. (Due to he is a Japanese, so he don't know who is 陈宝珠) He requested me to take some photos that look similar to those advertisements from magazine. So I have to look high or low or anywhere except the camera and most importantly is not to smile. Soon peoples are requesting me to take some self -portrait photo of them. Due to I am Chanel of the night, Xiaowen told me not to go round the tables to take photos with the Engineers, they have to walk to us instead. Stella told me not to eat too much and foods are to be serves by others. No wonder, those models looks so beautiful, because they can't eat too much and still have to wait to be serves. But funny thing is that they don't mind me bent down, squat down to take photos of them... Anyway, we have reached a consensus only 1 person bring camera, so that there are not repetitive photos. The whole night taking photos...

After the dinner, we go for 2nd round. Weiwei is joining us for the 2nd round too. We have arranged to meet up with an ex-colleague of us. The moment I step in the pub, unavoidable to see some eyes wide open and jaws dropping people looking as me... I am not exceptional beautiful but an alien that walks into the pub. Due to weiwei driving, I accompany him by drinking tonic water only. We play until 1.30am then go home. Tired!!!

Retro Fever!!!
