We have an event at work today for our AAA members. Its called 'Mahalo Event'. This is to promote our Hawaiian Vacations for the travel agency. Everyone is encouraged to wear a hawaiian shirt and jeans to work to celebrate the event.
Now now…this got Ely thinking…hard. Being born and raised and even bred in the lovely sunny island of Singapore, I always feel that dressing up hawaiian is very tacky. Something that omputih does a lot to adopt this tropical thingy. In short…no, I don’t have a hawaiian shirt! (ps : I do have several hawaiian sundresses but shirt?). So OK, since I feel that way, I am going to wear what I feel like wearing. I am not running the event anyway, so I know it would not effect me…right??????????
What is Ely wearing today? Well, you see, it rained hard this morning and it was cold. So I have my 'heavy metal' concept outfit today to work. Meaning : Black long sleeved netted blouse with black tank top underneath. Black pin striped pants and black pointy (and I mean at least 2.5 inches pointed out) with kitten heel boots. OK aper kan?
Came to work…the lady assistant boss says 'Good morning Ely…lets see what you have on today….BLACK!!!'. OK when she said that, it hit me…I did not realize that I am wearing totally the opposite of what the office is doing. So I told the lady boss, 'Well, I don’t have a hawaiian shirt. I do have my tank top and sarong skirt and thongs to wear if we go to hawaii'. She said while laughing out loud,'Ely, you're something else. Would you like our company hawaiian shirt?'. Heck NO…corporate hawiian shirt is down right UGLY. What could I say? Hahahahaha….
Ely likes wearing black at times. Now Ely is looking at herself again…hmm black, on a Mahalo Event day, hehehehe.

hahaha, ely, ely..i would have imagined you stood up among the rest! Yeah, the hawaiian is so common among the omputih. one spring break I took my batik sarong (ni real kain batik basahan - the only one i had when I was a student) and fold it into half so it became like a senteng sarong. Cool apa...stood out among the rest :)
