"Wah! you should go see her FB pic! Very different from her in the office!" (for the record, it was me in a cap ie, all hair tied back and sans makeup, after a day on the beach in Bintan). For a moment I was quite confused - No mah..I thought I was always like that..anyway the picture was more "me" than anything.
Anyway that moment passed and we moved out to talking about other stuff. Until today, when I was driving home after dinner with an ex-colleague. As usual, my mind started to wonder (but I was still alert behind the wheel!), and drifted back to this exchange. Got so different meh? Then I started to form mental image of myself as "ME in the office" and "ME outside, ie out of offiice".
"Me in the office" -
- clean cut lines (I hate frills),
- solid colours (I dont think I can pull off flowery prints),
- white/black tops mainly (makes matching stuff during groggy early morning hours easier!),
- heels (oh yes),
- makeup (only to cover my dark eye circles mainly - why cant office hour start at 10am??)
"Me outside" -
- t-shirt (with funky prints sometimes),
- shorts or short skirts,
- slippers (yes! I cant describe how good it feels to be in slippers),
- glasses,
- no makeup (just cos I am too lazy. And cos there are already glasses),
- caps (when I cant be bothered to tame my hair. Which gives me a reason to buy nice caps now too :p)
Hmm..yeah. Quite different. I guess if I am a 3rd person I would not be able to link the two different "me"s to the other. That was when I felt like a Jakyl and Hyde - corporate butcher during the weekday, casual dudette during the weekend. I just wish there are more chances for the casual duddette to surface more often.
Actually come to think of it, I am developing a Jakyl and Hyde mentality in more ocassions than once. Prob some other blog entries to release the angsty emos.
