Still a student

Over the weekend, hubby dropped me off at One Utama so that I could have a little bit of 'me' time, while he brought Renee back to see his parents who lived just around the corner.

.

I was ecstatic!

It's been too damn long since I last walked into a shopping complex without my entourage and I just felt so absolutely free! No Renee for me to worry over, or watch over, or ran after, or scream at. No maid to stress me up, to give me a headache, or give me cause to fear she might take the opportunity to run away.

.

And so, I happily spent the next 2 hours window shopping (no money) and oogling at things that i really liked but cannot buy.

.

Of course it wasn't that bad la.

I did buy myself a nice dress for CNY, and some casual tops to wear with either leggings or shorts.

I bought batteries for Renee's new dressing table which can 'sing' and light-up.

And I bought some recipe books for toddlers, to help give me more ideas on what to cook for Renee. I think she's bored with eating the same old thing over and over again. And I don't blame her.

.

While paying for the books at the counter....

.

Cashier: Do you have a student card?

Me: *speechless*flattered*shocked*spluttered* Excuse me?

Cashier: Student card?

Me: I'm not a student

Cashier: *shocked* You're not? You look so young!

Me: *laughs* Thanks...but these books are actually for my daughter

Cashier: You're a mother??? But you must be at most 25?

.

Choir of angels singing!

Me? 25?

Sheer happiness!

And it took me a hard time convincing her that I was turning 30 this year.

.

I should go out more often without Renee.

It really helps boost up my self-esteem.
