Mini Hookah

Luna has been trying to make her own vape since she can't stand the cigarette's price anymore. It's so expensive for her that she even thought of trying to quit. She used to smoke 2 packs a day but now she cut it down to 1 pack and could last her 3 to 5 days. And she went shopping with Leona and Daniel or rather they dragged her to shop with them after work since it's hard to make her leave her room after she went back. They went to Fareast Plaza and she took a look at a cute bikini. It's cheap and Leona urged her to buy it since they saw her body when they're swimming at Jurong last weekend.

They knew she was planning to go back to Jakarta for the weekend but the airplane ticket is fully booked and crazily expensive now since it's a holiday season. So she bought a ticket for mid July. She already contacted her friend, Aaron, to pick her up, And he asked her to buy him a Jack Daniel on duty free.

A few days ago, her ex asked Daniel to set up a meeting with her. But after the MOS incident a week ago where her ex almost hit her as she accidentally splashed her drink on him. They decided to cut her ex off since they knew he's the one who cheated on her even though she didn't blame the cheating couple. But she just treated them as non-existence, as if they didn't exist.

Luna sighed and took her notebook and wrote something again. They realized she'd been doing it for months ever since she broke up with her ex. She's been wearing black, gray, dark blue, dark green, and white too often, and she felt more mature than she did before.

She no longer threw tantrums and talked badly about them when colleagues pissed her off but she just smiled at them and explained to them. She could hold her emotions better than before. And what surprised them was that she's not sharing every single thing she felt on friendster or myspace like she used to and she even used a cat picture for her msn, friendster, twitter and myspace profile picture.

And now Luna stopped in front of a shop that sold cute glass bottles and she seems to be interested in it since it took her 15 minutes just to look at them so Leona and Daniel went to the other shop instead of waiting for her. And when they saw her come out of the shop, she's carrying a bunch of plastic bags from that shop.

She went back and started to do her project or whatever she called and they couldn't drag her out of her room except when she needed to pee or drink. She's been doing that ever since she went to Hookah bar with them on Clarke Quay. And the weirdest thing is that her music taste changed so much. They used to be able to hear heavy metal, techno, trance and house music they used to listen to at the Jakarta discotheque from her room but nowadays, they can only hear some contemporary R&B from her room.

"Don't you think she's changed too much over night?" Daniel, whose room was right beside Luna, asked Leona and TIna as they're sitting in the living room and opened up a bottle of cheap wine they bought on NTUC.

"She changed for good," Tina twirled her glass and took a sniff. "I liked her like this more."

"But it's too creepy," Leona took a sip on her wine. "How could someone change so much... she used to love her pink shirt and yet she gave it to you. And she used to love to go out but now, she mostly goes to Sim Lim, Bugis and Kino or Popular or Brass Basah...."

"Hey, did you notice her weird diet?" Daniel asked.

"No sugar, no carbs, no food after two and before twelve?" Luna asked. "And exercise for almost an hour when you know I hate sweating?"

Three of them jolted from their seats and gasped, Tina hugged Daniel and Leona threw her plushie that she held on Luna's face and they saw the bottle on her hand.

"Here, try it," Luna pushed a bottle to Tina. "Leona, you don't smoke so, nope, I'm not giving it to you."

"Wow, it's good!" Tina exclaimed. "It felt like the hookah we once tried on Clarke Quay.... the bottle is cute too, how much was it?"

"Planning to sell the liquid for 5 bucks and it lasted longer than a cigarette, as for the miniature hookah, planning to sell it for 75 bucks. But for you it's free, Daniel, did you want it?" she asked.

"You could sell it for fifty bucks for me and I'll sell it for a hundred bucks to my colleague," Daniel grinned as he tried it.

"Seventy five bucks," Luna smiled.

"Sixty."

"Eighty, take it or leave it," Luna grinned.

"I'll take it, but 80 is too high,"Daniel complained.

"Free liquid that lasts a day for a mild smoker," Luna grinned wider.

"What flavor is this? Strawberry?" Tina asked as she tried.

Luna nodded, "there's coffee and strawberry available for now."
