pretty in pink

no, not that horror of a movie with molly ringwald back in the days of big hair and plastic clip-on earrings.

my office chair had been sinking again, and needed to be re-adjusted every 5 minutes.

boss gave me the green light to get a new one.

so delirious with power and choice, i ordered – wait for it – a dusky old pink coloured one (never mind that the carpet is a greyish blue and my table and cabinets are a light brown) to brighten up the room; colour coordination be damned.

when i was younger i used to be quite allergic to pink.

it’s a girly girl colour, i would cry.

it’s against my principles/religion/pantang tok nenek!

looking at my laundry blowing in the wind recently, it’s kind of a shock to realize i actually have quite a few items in the colour.

gawd.

guess now that i am all grown up (har har, old, more like), i am a girl after all.

trying to reclaim my lost youth, mayhaps?

(postscript – chair finally arrived yesterday. it’s darker and more pink than i thought. oo-er. i love it!)
