Im. so. obsessed. with. shoes.



I LOVE SHOES.
I love trying shoes.
I love being able to walk and twirl in 5inch heels.
I love feeling TALL.
I love shoes with a metallic heel.

haha!

most of all, i love that i fit in most of the displayed shoes.
even if i can't, i can always squeeze.
I love that to try shoes, i dont have to wait in a long long queue.
I just have to kick of my own and put on new ones!


When im bored, or sad, or angry. or feeling strong emotions.
I just walk in a shoe shop,
and try out everything.
I try the most *^&%^$* expensive ones. ($250 and above)
I try the most outrageous ones (Hot Pink Metallic 4 inch heels)
I try everything i want.
but can't buy.

I would though!
If i had 9893758365 gazillion bucks.
hurhur!

Please pardon dumb maniacal post.
I think i deserve bimbotic moments after studying so hard!

I am now, right at this moment mugging.
And wishing i had time to do other things.
Thing that doesn't contribute to my CAP, or schoolwork. or CCA points.
Things that nobody will care if i do well or not.
Like, read a book!
or sketch something. which i havent done in a long while.
or paint.
play the guitar.
take a long walk.

if only time permits.

To more relaxing times,
i sat in Ikea once waiting for a friend.
It was really sunny, so sitting by the glass windows at the cafe was awesome!
You feel the sun rays, but dont get the heat.
Got a princess cake, a cup of jello and a glass of water.
Flipped to a random page in Ikea's catalogue and started drawing a bedroom.
Between sketching and erasing and nibbling on food and smiling to the angmoh grandpa who was seated beside me,
1.5 hours flew by.
and what a 1.5hours well spent!
People should be given time to do such random things instead of studying all day.

Was waiting for the bus to go home a few days ago.
pretty bored, so my mind started wandering, and i hit this sudden enlightenment!
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ.
what do all these alphabets have in commin?
they all have ONE syllable!
ALL, but ONE.
---> W!
so i started wondering why.
then i started wondering how dictionary.com would write to prononce this letter.
like
dub.ber.dew. or dub.er.lew.
then i realised, its actually DOUBLE U!
like U x2 = double U= W!

HA! okay. stupid. but i bet you've never ever thought of it before. :D

BUSY BUSY BUSY.
):
its been such a hectic semester and now its about to get worse.
Theres no lack of tests/deadline from now till the end of my year2 sem1!
3 deadlines + 1 test in a week is seriously no joke.
SIGH!
i need more comfort foooodddd.
and i need slimming pills to curb my stressed out snack binge.
RARGH.

In Singapore, class is reversed.
no, not class between races or groups of people.
Class of people and objects are inverted.
In most countries, humans are seen more important than an object, like paper. or a bottle.
In Singapore, its the total opposite!

This is especially observed during lunch time.
One person = One seat at a table.
One pack of tissue = One whole table regardless of how many seats it has.
One water bottle also = One whole table.

Interesting huh.

swimming a near 5km is seriously no joke.
worse, after the swim, go wear 4-inch heels.
then, go dancing in them at a party.
after that, dont rest! go watch a movie with your friends till 2am in the morning!

i guarantee your legs will die the next morning.
which was what exactly happened to me.
INTENSE PAIN I TELL YOU.
i spammed yoko yoko.
but the burn of muscle ache exceeded the burn from yoko yoko.
so no help at all.
):

all the pain for a morning/afternoon of swimming to get 2 nice t shirts (event and finisher)
and a really cool party at night.
haha.

DONT DO IT PEOPLE.

 Went on a spontaneous eating trip with marvin today.
funfunfun. :D
Guess i just needed a little outing to take my mind of school.

First stop : Island Creamery! Had a warm apple pie with blackforest and BURNT CARAMEL<3 icecream.
Trooped over to Gastronomania where i bought my usual large meringue.
Stopped next at Adam Road food market. Had sambal stingray and kangkong.
Our last stop : The Tea Party! Amazing cranberry scone, as usual. and also roast duck pizza.

If i keep this up, my stomach's gonna grow bigger and my wallet flatter.
but i loved today.
if only everyday was about meeting people you love and talking nonsense. and eating some lip smackin nonsense.

Its only the third week of school and there's a pile of things to do alr.
Im not utilising my 4 hours breaks well enough, sad to say.

Heres an incident that happened about a month back.
Left me pretty shocked and a little ugh-ed.

Usually when i go home from school, i take a bus within the school. so it isnt as packed as those buses that go along the expressway outside.
Just so happens that this certain day i had to go for tuition, so i went to the busstop outside school.
Peak hour, no less. 6PM! horrid ungodly hour.
was waiting for bus 123 (cant rmb the exact number).
Of course, the busstop was packed and a little while later, bus 123 came, but behind another bus.
So that bus reached the stop first, and 123 was behind.
Now usually i would expect people to walk ambly to bus 123 ,
or wait for the other bus to move off first so 123 can dock at the busstop.
Instead, once 123 came into the busstop lane,
people RAN for it.
pushed and shoved and scurried, for a bus that hasnt even stopped.

If this is normal,
then i havent seen much of singapore during peak hour yet.

 My weirdest sleeping experience yet : sleeping on a cardboard box with a car's sun screen as a lining, along the corridor, right outside the lift.
I can get used to being a beggar if the economy falls through and i cant get a job.

Anyway. 
i was scanning through a bunch of camwhore photos posted up by this girl on facebook.
For a moment i thought she was autistic, (no offence here) or that she had lazy eye on both sides.
Cos in 2 freaking albums, she took photos of herself, but her head is always slightly tilted to one side and her eyes always in the wrong direction though she seems to be looking straight at the camera.
two albums okay!
thats about 60 photos, all like that. head tilted, eyes just a little off the cam.
i felt abit sorry for her,
until i realised.
it's just how she took her photos.
-.-
really people.
come up with better camera poses.
looking off tangent from the camera all the time makes u look like u have some eye problem.
and tilting your head in one direction for 90385987345649 photos makes you look like you sprained your neck.

I MADE DEAN'S LIST!!!
probably my first and last time.
haha!

Im honestly really tired, but for some reason, i cant make myself sleep.
This is my 3rd day of quarantine, and i cant say i did something productive.
Cept maybe sleep and eat.
Which may explain the extra 5pounds i MAY gain at the end of 7days.

Simba has been a pretty good companion!
but he's usually more interested in food than in me.
which may be a good thing cos it means i dont look like a prok chop to him.
:D
Im glad he can't get H1N1, bcos if he does, it'll become H1N2.

i also realised i happen to LOVE idiots
like COSMO. (:
and SIMBA. and OLIVER. and JUSTIN. <3
the more dumb the better. hahahaa

on a postnote.
i guess sometimes we dont get it.
we always aren't ready to sacrifice/give God our time, our stuff.
but it should be that we cant wait to do so.
cos where else would our life be used the fullest?
besides. whether we like it or not.
we do owe Him that much and more.
without Him, where would we be?

I am not a child now.
I can take care of myself.
I mustn't let them down now-
Mustn't let them see me cry.
I'm fine, i'm fine.

I'm too tired to listen.
I'm too old to believe,
All these childish stories.
There is no such thing as faith,
And trust, and pixie dust.

I try,
But its to hard to believe.
I try,
But I can't see what you see.
I try, i try.

My whole world is changing,
I don't know where else to turn.
I can't leave you waiting,
But I cant stay and watch the city burn;
Watch it burn.

'Cause I try,
But its so hard to believe.
I try,
But I can't see where you see.
I try, i try.

I try and try,
To understand,
The distance in between:
The love I feel,
The things i fear,
And every single dream.

I can finally see it.
Now I have to believe,
All those precious stories.
All the world is made of faith,
And trust,
And pixie dust.

So I'll try,
'Cause I finally believe.
I'll try,
'Cause I see where you see.
I'll try.

I'll try-
To fly.

I love books.
(storybooks, not textbooks)
and because i love books,
i love Borders!

it feels really nice being surrounded by books.
its a pretty different world, separated by Wheelocks Place glass door entrance.
Outside we have busy, noisy orchard road, where people rush rush rush and walk by in a hurry.
But in Borders, its cool and calm.
People aren't rushing, just sitting, reading, or browsing.
Its a pretty alternate world,
which i love!


So when i grow up,
i want to have a room full of books.
dedicated to nothing but books, paintings, photographs and pillows.
:D

  Things i hate about sales.
1. Only the ugly things are on sale
2. If its nice, it's only available in UKsizes 10, 12, 14 and 16. Which is not very convenient for a size6.

And if you haven't figured, i've been shopping lately due to the great singapore sale!
which, i might add, isn't so great.
(and feel stores should stock up on more UK size6!)

the BIGGEST splurge.
EVER. in my WHOLE ENTIRE 18 YEAR OLD (:D) LIFE.
116bucks. on a leather clutch.
honestly, im not going to buy anything for a long long long long long long time.

Guess what we have reservations for Fathers' Day?


CRYSTAL JADE LA MIAN XIAO LONG BAO BUFFET.
the last time i went there,
i was so full i couldn't move.

so, i decided not to eat so much.
thought this might be promptly forgotten when i get there.
:D
YAAYYYEEE

 Stop and smell the flowers.
Normally we're so busy we don't pause and look.
So there's no time to realise and be thankful for the little details in our life.

Oh look.
Theres my friend whose messages perk me up.
The sky is clear blue today.
My grandma is cooking my favourite dish.
The shopkeeper was really polite.
My dog was happy to see me. (apparent from his wagging tail)

This i mused as i watched my dog take his early morning stroll through my crusty and bleary eyes.

Walk walk, sniff the bushes. Walk walk walk, sniff the flowers. Dont let master drag me away from enjoying this.
Walk walk, smell the flowers some more. Stroll along, don't let master drag me home so she can sleep.

And this is what my dog does every early morning (bloody 7am)
Walk walk, smell the flowers.
Then pee on them.

 This is my very very first livejournal post!
I actually only applied for LJ so i can online shop more easily.
:D
