zenn bites...

there's a girl putting on her face on the mrt this morning.

i got in at bedok and the girl was sitting right in front of me, dabbing concealer on some rather nasty-looking pimples on her cheek. she smoothed out the creamy blotches rather roughly, then proceeded to take out her compact to powder her face.

by the time we reached kallang, she'd moved on to her eyeshadow, which she applied carefully but to absolutely no effect. i think she had on beige eyeshadow or something - might as well don't put.

then she took out some lipgloss and smeared it on her lips. thank goodness she didn't attempt the mascara.

by the time she reached city hall, she's all ready to face the world. 'cept that we'd all seen the unglamourous process she took to doll herself up.

i wouldn't say that she's pretty/ugly, with or without make-up. a normal-looking girl. but she certainly ugly-fied herself by so publicly putting on her stuffs.

the angmoh beside me was staring at her with a midly amused/disgusted look on his face, while i tried not to look at her in disbelieve.

the mrt is no powder room and some things are just not meant to be done in the open, especially during rush hour!
