HAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPY BIRRRRRRRRRRRRTHDAYYYYYYYYY AH KHAR! (Yesterday, actually)




After a long suppressed urge to paint shoes, I finally let the steam out and painted..



Here's presenting you, HAPPY shoes (with or without my happy feet) :

Despite having a really bad stiff neck for like 4 days alr, I couldnt control the temptation to buy white shoes and add colour to them. Seriously, if not for my neck, I can rush down to buy another pair to paint right now. Oh preeeeeetttttyyyy shoes. =)

Give me a few days, I'm so gonna paint another pair in happy colours as well. Pink, green, dark blue, with a black skull right smack in the middle. Imagine...

WOAH!

Yup, precisely.

Oh well, but plans and urges need to be set aside. There's work again tomorrow. And its Y-reading again on Sat! =D

Shopping at Haji Lane was damn stressful ytd. SO many things tha I want. Seriously, this is the first time when shopping at Haji could be so pressurising. SO many pretty dresses, SO many pretty skirts, SO many pretty shorts. If I was willing to spend my entire month's pay, I could have gone home with dozens of paper bags.


After much thought, I bought a skirt. I feeeeel so depressed. Hahaha. Its not that I dont like the skirt, its just that out of all the beautiful stuff, I only got a skirt. =( And I bought a shirt for Samuel cause I just couldnt resist the pink and turquoise stipes on it. Heh.
I'm so gonna go back to Haji when I get my pay.

Last few days were tough. So many customers, too little limbs. When there's so many people, I just stoned and wait for someone to ask me for help. Its that helpless feeling that really gets into me. And when I just stand there by myself amidst the crowd, I feel invisible and alone. Oh well. Work yesterday was alright though, cause I proved to myself that I can achieve sales up to about $1500 in a day. Reassurance was what I needed. =D


Despite being busy and all, I'm glad that I got to meet up with Audrey on Friday. Its been a long time since I sat down and have a serious talk with someone. Talked about results, work, friends. Even though it was just 2 of us, I felt really comfortable.


Met up with Khar, Yiliang, Pauline, Weiwen, Tiying, Christopher on Sat at the esplanade. What a romantic place. We just hang out and talked and talked. From topics on kisses, to bird shit, to investment. Seriously, how far can one side track? But all in all, I'm glad I pushed myself there despite being really drained out of energy.


Being so tired last few nights, Samuel was the one who suffered. He had to listen to my sh*t over the phone and when I got too tired to think, I became angry with him. =/ I'm such a lousy lover.


Okay, check out the most expensive pair of shoes in the shop. $125. But I think its worth the money. The workmanship is just brilliant.

Being super nice, I woke up at 6.10am on Tues just to have breakfast with Samuel before school. Yup, see what love makes you do. After breakfast, Samuel went to class and I stayed in the library. Initially, I thought about how tough time will pass being all alone in the cold and foreign library. But, it turned out really fun. I watched..


2 movies:
  1. Shall We Dance (Jap version)

  2. Grease

Both shows made me laugh. Esp Grease, when the 1st song began, I practically laughed so loud that I felt so embarrassed of myself. Its like "Summer lovin', happened so fast~~" and it made me thought about Lit Night in sec2. Okay, seriously, when I go back to RP, I will watch it again! Shall We Dance nearly made me cry. Thank God I didnt, or people will really think I'm crazy. Its like a comedy with its touching twist to it. Aww.

3.5 documentaries:

  1. The Secrets Behind Titanic

  2. Secret Mind

  3. Tsunamis

  4. Supercroc (Halfway and Samuel arrived.)

If you know me, you will know I LUBBBB national geographic, discovery channel and animal planet. I'm so gonna watch ALL the documentaries at RP soon. =D

And I must say, the air con in the library is SUPER strong. I was wearing like 4 layers of clothes and I was still damn cold. But still, Samuel's jacket saved me. Heheee. =/

YEAH RP! =D When can I go back there again?

Working on weekends is tough. My legs hurt and (some) customers suck.

There was one yesterday who kept complaining that the shoes in the shop were very ugly but the act-rich couple still stayed in the shop for damn long.

And there was one woman the day before who begged for a discount. But seriously, one should know that in such shops, its all net price. She pleaded with me and forced me to ask my boss. Obviously, NO DISCOUNT!

So seriously, if you are rich or willing to spend, please come. If not, scoot off.

Some even come in to look at shoes and laugh at how expensive they are. People can be really too free sometimes.

But some customers are really nice and nice people tend to have really cute kids. (REALLY!) There was this young couple yesterday who had this SUPER cute daughter. She was about 1 yrs old and she kept pouting. Shes so chubby alr and when she does that, I just felt like squeezing her cheeeeeeks till they burst. =X And the young couple was so loving. Both wanted to pay for their child's new shoes. And when the child kicked the mother's face, the husband was so protective of her. AWWWWW. And its really sweet that both the husband's mum and the wife's mum were there too. So its one big happy family. =D

Okay thats all. Money, will you fall into my arms more quickly?

Just as I was about to start writing my resolutions for 2008, I realised..
My route for 2008 has not been set and theres nothing I can plan about it! Shucks.

My long lost Friend. The Friend who accompanied me through my Alevels. The Friend who rejoiced with me after Alevels. But now, I'm sorry. I've neglected you. Despite the negligible distance between you and my workplace, I've yet to visit you. Oh, how I long for your aroma and sweetness. Oh that seduction, that perked-up sensation that you give me.

But Friend, fear not. I promise to catch up with you soon.

I miss treasuring all the rest time I have. Now that I have so much free time, I dont have that special thankful feeling for it. Its like last time every lesson ponned had that magical so-relaxed feeling attached to it. That desperation to run away from school. That triumphant feeling when I successfully ponned. That appetition to make use of the after-school-before-dinner time to go out. Its like every minute, every second, every milisecond is so precious. Every moment for slacking is God-sent.

Weekends were heavenly, being able to dress up and head to town or somewhere to study. Despite being burdened by school work, I still feel damn excited to head out to study but still have fun.
Then as time gets closer and closer to the As, I think even watching Pride and Prejudice at Audrey's house was fun. HAHAHA. Its the simple pleasures between the immense stress that make me appreciate them more.
Now.......
Its the same, yet so very different. Too much of a good thing may be a bad thing afterall. Too much free time. Too much space in my brain. Man, why cant you be satisfied?

Bosses are nice people who I shouldnt be afraid of. =D
I seriously dont know what to blog about but I have nothing to do. I have no work until Friday. Everyone is busy working/ studying, except me. Even people talking to me online are working at the same time. Perhaps a weekend job is really not for me.

Too much time makes me think too much. I miss the days when no one was working and everyday was going-out-days. =/ I miss Samuel's holidays and I really cant wait for Feb to come.

Speaking of Feb, rumours are heard that Alevel results coming out in early Feb. Oh well, all is set and there's nothing I can do if things dont turn out the way I want them to. Now when I think of results, I tend to imagine myself crying in the hall with everyone cheering and scraeming in joy around me. OH shut up inner self.

I will score. ( I REALLLY HOPE SO.) My confidence level is dropping. Okay Stop.

Think happy moments. Sentosa with Samuel last Sat. (Alliteration!)

I took this photo with my amazing photography skills. HAHA.

Started working recently at United Square. Selling designer kids' shoes. Really fun and satisfying. My senior, Lynn and her godfather (my ah gong now) are super nice to me. Buying me food, teaching me from their experiences, making me laugh. =D AWESOME. But its quite sad that Lynn works on weekdays, while I work on Sundays. =(

Oh and sales by Lynn and I broke the record for weekdays today. =D Great teamwork!



And the kids there LOVE me.

I miss dearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. He's downstairs having wushu now, but I dont get to see him. =( So near but the distance is killing me already. Must be suffering from the after holidays blues. I want dear to have his holidays. =(((((((((( I'm such a baby.

Dear and I have same phones now. =D

Went to visit Jean ytd after her jaw op. Dont worry, she still looks pretty, just SLIGHTLY different. HAHAHAHHA.

Choco, banana.Trust me, there will many more photos. Someone, buy me this prettttttty dress, PLEASEEEEE.

My boyfriend starts school today. I'm DEPRESSED. But he will have his long holidays 1 month later. I can wait. =D

And congrats to me, I got a job, in a place which I love, doing things I love. I'm going to work at a designer kids' shoe shop. Looking at kids, interacting with the rich, what more can I ask for? Erh, maybe I can ask for more working days. I'm working on Fri and Sun only. Hahaha. Nvm, love it like that too. Then I can have more time with my boyfriend, esp during his hols. Then I have time for YMCA too. And if the online shop is set up, I'll have time for it too! =D

Went out with Jean and Yiling yesterday, busk in the magical moments of the SALE-spree. Every shop was having a sale, be it a real or fake sale. I cannot forget how Jean and mine jaw dropped when we saw the cheap stuff at Zara. I almost bought 3 jackets in a day but thank god I bought 2 only. But I'm still thinking of the 3rd one which I gave up. =( OHOH, and Jean and I decided to role play as rich kids, took clothes to try on at Topshop. Its really fun but not a very wise idea if you get tempted easily like me. ARGH. I WANT THAT DRESSSSSS. =(

Had icecream and a serious camwhore session at the toilet. =X I seriously dont know why do I enjoy taking stupid photos.


HAPPPPPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY (tml) YILING!!

This disgusised distance,
this cut off chain.
That penetrated privacy,
that sinful slander.
This faded familiarity,
this changed conscience.

Maybe its time for a retreat, a time-out.
Ignore the time-bomb, and be prepared for the storm to stir up.
Secrets are led out, its impossible to move forward with it.
Pretending will not work anymore.
