jalda mirror ‘audrey’ handbag June 15, 2008

Sigh! I almost fell in love with that bag…. based on the picture on ideeli.

But thankfully I went to google it! It’s not as nice as the site photoshopped it to be. Actually I’ve read a few remarks regarding that site’s photoshopping / presenting of goods lol. Great artistic pictures but the real bags are often…. dismal (physical appearance-wise).

On bag borrow or steal (I knew this site before SATC lor!!), it’s £13.00/week or £40.00/month (for members) and £30.00/week or £60.00/month for guests.

So I was wondering to myself, would I prefer to own an expensive bag, or rent different bags every week.

I mean, assuming I bother about such bags and frivolity. (ahem)

Haven’t come to a conclusion yet, but it’s not like anyone cares =D

Cooking is fun, and so is baking. But sadly, I can’t fry for nuts HAHA! Nah I’ll learn. Watch out for michelle recipes hoho.

And discovery of the minute: BCBG Max Azria clutches aren’t that expensive! And they’re pretty too. (Well, some.)

Man, I was excited about Louboutin shoes in Singapore but I realised I’ll never dare to step in the shop.

Oh wells ;) Shoes always look better on the red carpet anyway =d

Goodnightt <3

i ate field rations June 9, 2008

and thought they were good.

So did my sister and brother actually. Haha, always wonder why the boys complain. At least I know of someone who really likes them and was thrilled to have had the chance to try all the different “flavours” cos he had a pantry job.

Anyhow, does anyone agree that the worst part of separation is the very first day?? No matter how long I’ve spent with people, I miss them the very most when I know that I won’t get to see them today. The entire 24h of it. Then I start to be used to my bumming around and slowly things just stop being so sad. Then after a week it’s like wow it’s already a week. And if it drags on then, well, so be it.

Life is utterly meaningless. The more I think about it the more I wonder why we live at all. ):

People work everyday to stay alive (well, in general anyway) so it’s a monotonous (for those boring office jobs) routine everyday, wake up -> breakfast -> work -> home -> dinner -> whatever family entertainment -> sleep. So things go on until at last we get some freedom to do whatever we want (short-term: weekends hopefully, long-term: retirement). So, pursuing interests make life more interesting. But how does that work?

Really, I don’t know what question I’m asking and I don’t know what answers I expect to get when I finally figure it (whatever that is) out.

It’s odd I get bouts of these “wonders” and find every single thing utterly meaningless.

The only times I really enjoyed were the times I sat in the car with my whole family and we laughed and talked.

Really, the little things in life makes me happy.

But right now I’m feeling sad and extremely morose. Whatever that means, because I just felt like typing that word so I did.

Even music and shopping is really boring to me now, and all I want to do is to sit atop a mountain in some countryside with a gorgeous view with my loved ones.

Was talking to a very like-minded friend a few days ago (or was it a week ago) and I know that all I want (at this very instant) is a loving and peaceful home. But more often than not that’s even harder to obtain than monetary pleasures. It’s really sad ):

Okay that like-minded friend didn’t really say he wanted a loving and peaceful home too LOL but well we’d both like to have a library room in our house, man I can’t remember the rest. And open a small cosy cafe after retirement.

I like to imagine myself as an old friendly woman (plump and joyful nonetheless) attending to people looking for solace, serving them muffins/scones and tea in a cosy setting complete with heavily soft cushioned-sofas and antiqued furnitures.

I’m feeling so slow right now, as slow as 1/10th of the beat of the Jay Chou song I’m listening to right now. Can you feel my beat?

It’s really sad I can’t get through The English Patient. Maybe I’ll just watch the movie, but I really don’t want to give up.

Watched PS I Love You and it was exactly what I wanted to feel. Exactly.

And since my boy likes Liar Liar (a lot.), I watched it today! With my siblings of course (: It was good fun(ny) haha but I really miss Stephen Chow shows. Fond childhood memories man.. And of course I ate field rations because…. I was greedy.

But that aside, I’ve decided I like beef. And I don’t really like chicken anymore. Haha! Which is really odd cos I stuck to a chicken + pork + veggies diet since forever cos I hated the smells of all other meats. ANd I was thisclose to crossing over to the vegetarian side.

Anyway may I know who’s going to SMU? Please tell me kthx.

laksa.wordpress and popiah.wordpress

HAHA!!

Wait till I think of interesting things to put there.

Man, my favourite foods. I wanted rojak but it’s taken. ):

Chickenrice is too ugly so I didn’t want it don’t know if it’s taken anyway.

And my subconscious mind works more than my conscious mind! I had 4 different dreams last night all extremely vivid. I can still remember 3 of them, can’t remember the 1st one. But the annoying thing is, I wake up after every dream!! So I wake up many times in the night!

But it’s alright. I remember people I seem to have forgotten in my real life. And I miss them so!! Hence, if you randomly receive a message saying hello or some retarded comment that probably means I dreamt of you. Or something. (:

Anyhow, I’m back to my frivolous ways. I’ve been trying to finish the english patient but it seems to be a futile attempt. I will finish it by June though, meanwhile I am in dire need of the book “If I’m missing or dead” which sounds like a really interesting book. Hence, if anyone has it could you please lend it to me?! I’ll pay you $3 rental fee hahaha. And I’ll return it to you in pristine condition (I love pretty books)

The next thing I absolutely have to get is a 1 piece playsuit (not the lingerie type), a pair of leather gladiator sandals preferably with 4 inch heels or a pair of gladiators that extend to my knees just like that Givenchy pair minus the price, a straw cowboy hat (which I will find an occasion to wear for), a new pair of my beloved old OP slippers (they’re 4 years old and VERY comfortable!!!!), a pair of steve madden flat gladiator sandals.

PS: I’m not really in love with gladiators..

PPS: I bought a t-shirt the other day (my my) that says “I SHOOT YOU” complete with a faux camera at the front. It’s adorable.

PPPS: dreamecho is really cool. She has really cute poses! (:
