everyone's carrying a coach these days...

the title has absolutely nothing to do with this entry, i'm just stating what i've been noticing when i walk along the streets these days.

yesterday, i brought ailay to the bra shoppe that i frequent~ and woohoo! i'm so glad i found a partner who shares my interest :) we love the same kinda print, and the same colour, and we hate the same colour too. haha! luckily we're of a different size, cos the shoppe only carries 1 piece per size per design. :X! and i signed up for a $500 package too.. which isn't exactly good.. cos that's the 2nd package that i signed up for with my latest paycheck! oh gawd~ just signed up for a $300 the day before. luckily ailay comforted me by sharing her craziness with me~ i felt so unalone when she told me that she too signed up for some package - a hair treatment one that cost her $400~ looks like temptation got the better of me. hmm~ apart from all this.. going out with ailay makes me wonder: am i very selfish? do conversations that we have revolve around me, me and only me now? haven't asked her that yet actually =/ but it was just sth i thought about.

bought a pink bra again. i realised that every piece that i purchased from the japanese lingerie shoppe has got at least a wee bit of pink on it. whether or not its just the lace trimming, just the straps or whatever.. the point is there's always a little bit of pink somewhere. well, then what makes this one different from the previous 6 sets is that it looks like a D cup before you actually try it, while its tagged size is obviously, actually smaller. which was why, when i arrived before the store was open and saw that that was the only piece left, i felt devastated cos i thought it would never be able to fit. (i was there slightly after 1pm and i didn't know they open late, but anyway the shopkeeper told me she went to the NLB to grab a book, apparently i saw the word "japan" on the cover ^^). i'm not sure if its surprising, but that (the part about 'looks of its size are deceiving') was actually one of the reasons why it is a hot selling item, as cited by the store owner. i guess i am definitely still learning new things everyday, even though i'm sorta off-the-proper-job now.

i'm finally getting tired of spreeing and keeping track of what i've spreed for. sometimes the wait is so low that i end up forgetting what was it that i purchased =/ thing is, i'm now ordering stuff on my own~ they cost more.. but at least i know and can remember what i'm waiting for. in fact, they cost so much more that i had to plan which items exactly i wished to purchase before i even got my pay. haha. thank god for credit cards, but unfortunately and sadly, they ain't always accepted by all merchants.

ailay recommended this book that has SHOPAHOLIC on its title. we couldn't find it at the library :( but i'm rather keen on reading it to see the nitty gritties for myself. from Ailay's description of the book, there seemed to be certain parts of it that she felt sounded like her sister and me, especially the part about buying a top in many different colours. i want to read it cos the author wrote about the shopaholic in herself from the time she was single to the time she got married and till the time she had a baby. i wish to see what a shopaholic's life could possibly be like from the time she's 19 to 29. haha!

& today was eyelash extensions day! finally, i found a place that has glue which works on my uber sensitive eyes (though it felt itchy and my eyes naturally teared when i opened them). it was kinda funny too~ they had this mini fan to dry my eyes. haha! anyway, i opted for natural, instead of long, obviously fake lashes. yeah i know, what's the point of going through all that trouble for something that looks natural yea? well i don't know, but i was afraid of drastic changes (well yes i am). in this case, it takes time to embrace something that looks dramatically fake. i'll probably leave the longer ones for next time (if there is a next time).

after i had my lashes done, i wanted to do my nails (so desperately). so i gave polished divas a ring again. this time, they said they're fully booked till Sunday, which got me wondering.. why was it that i wasn't told this morning? if i was told this morning, i could've booked a slot for myself elsewhere much earlier on. argh~ so anyway, no harm~ i went off to far east plaza (which was near to Strip @ shaw) and put my dry nails in the caring hands of the manicurists @ exotic nails. its a small shop i know, but rather cosy and the service is FAST, and good (cos they're friendly). being me, i just sat there and waited for 1/2 hour for two ladies to finish their mani and pedi, while listening to all their girly nonsense. blimey, sometimes i think some sorta incurable inferiority complex is eating me up. i can understand what jw meant when she said that. they're all 28-30.. but i look older than them - no prizes for guessing correctly: it might be my complexion that gets me down at times. anyway, it was a rather enjoyable experience listening to the two girls (one of whom i believe is a transexual, who asked me where i got my black patent bag from and if i'd like to exchange it for her chanel - whatever that meant -.-). anyhow, they spoke so freely with each other about the cost of a boob job, the kind of men they liked (ang moh, chinese korkors/xianshengs, datuks?), smoking and supplments, slimming pills, tattoos down there and about "tahaning the pangsai". haha! i'm amazed really at how knowledgeable they are in these things.. some of which i've obviously never tried. plus i felt the transexual looked pretty good: a slim figure, slender feet that fit so perfectly into heels with narrow soles, a tall and lanky physique and reasonably sized boobs. haha! i haven't been staring, but her dress was lowcut enough for all to see. why am i not surprised that people nowadays equate beauty to artificiality?

well i am tired now~ so i'm going to rest. i haven't had lunch.. nor dinner.. so i'm FAMISHED! thinking of sweet and spicy drumlets from pizza hut.. laksa.. fried chicken wings...!~
