All tied up.

For reasons I cannot yet reveal, I went hunting in my dad's closet for his ties last night! I knew they were there, I've seen them before... lots of 'em, in different colours and patterns.

I was hoping with crossed fingers that one of them would be pink...

But sadly, none of them were. Argh. I wonder why! My dad has always been very adventurous with colours, owning a few pink shirts. So why not ties?! :(

He had this same particular tie in three different colours: blue, brown and red!

I think this must be his most flamboyant tie: a flowery Nina Ricci one. (Nina Ricci?!)

Anyway, besides those, what I did find was a red one (close enough, I guess?) and a cool grey skinny tie. I never had my dad pegged as the type to wear skinny ties! And then I embarked on my first ever tie-tying experience.

I've never worn a tie before (shocker), so naturally I don't know how to tie one. But I've seen other people do it before, so with much gusto, I attempted to figure it out on my own.

After some time of struggling and failing terribly, I finally managed to produce something that looked like a tied tie! True, it was quite cacat but I'm pretty darn sure it's correct. Just needs some practice. Wasn't even that hard! Quite proud of myself, if I do say so.

I still stubbornly want a pink tie though. I can just imagine how chio it would be! I wonder if my dad would let me dye one of his ties a very lurid, fuchsia pink... After all, what he doesn't know, won't hurt ME! ;)

Still in the topic of ties, this would be called tie abuse :D

Behold, Nai Ping, my sexy beast, the nerdy hillbilly! He'll whack you with his broom if ya don't get offa his proberdy! HAHAHAHA!!

You shoulda seen when he tied the ties into a G-string. Mad hilarious! But then I guess it was painful and he chose to pursue the "nerd" look. End up looking like sibeh drunk hillbilly! And I just told him to pose, dunno why he go pick up the stupid broom and dustbin cover and grin like idiot. LOL!
