am i The Girl with the Car Bag?
i went to bugis with Jiahui on Friday.. and got compliments for my car bag. however, i was too caught up with that to realise that one of the Aunties of a bag store could've had ulterior motives for flooding me with dozens of questions, which i must admit, i naturally answered them too honestly for my own good. she asked me where i bought it from (which country), how much i paid for it, what was the initial offer that i was quoted, and blablabla. oh gawd. by the time it hit me that she could possibly want to source for the car bag and sell it for cheaps along bugis street and yet earn millions from it made me feel like crying and selling away the car bag for good. because firstly i paid a hefty amount for it, and secondly, i didn't pay a hefty amount for it to see a street full of girls with the car bag. i know i sound selfish, but that's the whole point! i have to be with such probing aunties :( but what do i do now? all the honest information has been spilled.. too much of it in fact, considering she thanked me and happily smiled ALL THE bloody WAY. and argh~ all i can do now is wait for her to source for it and bring it in for the rest of the world or pray amd hope that she doesn't manage to.
jiahui and i went to the bra shoppe yesterday.. and to our horror, most of the stuff there's the same as what we saw on Fri when the shop was still closed. good thing is she was open on Sat so Jiahui could try on the stuff.. and it was such a laughy session of fun~ haha! i wonder if she was spoilt for choice, since she said that she couldn't decide which one to buy~ ;) anyway, i'm so glad that i've found another person to share my interest! wahahaha!~!~ we also sat down at pastamania with doodoo and spoke about a load of things. sometimes i wonder if its good to interpret too much into things though, but i can't think of what's so bad about it, except that perhaps sometimes it causes more worry than i should have (like the car bag)..
while reading the book: Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps as well as thinking of various experiences with girls and women.. i can't help but think of how scary we can be when we have PMS, or PMT - as the book calls it. sometimes our mood can just SWING and be totally sour, and we treat people like their dumbnuts and assholes.. feeling like its the worst day in the world, while sometimes the simplest thing can make us smile for an entire day like a dope. i really ought to get that sign one day.. "i can go from Angel to Bitch in 5s, it's a skill". haha!
ok i don't usually know how to end my blog posts. so this is just going to be another one of those with an abrupt end. :X

also i managed to grab two sold-out dresses online, among many others that i ordered. (with a matching gold arm bracelet)!!!!! woohoo~ i'm so excited =) i definitely hope they fit!!! :D:D:D:D:D!~ they probably won't reach before the school holiday ends.. but nevermind~~ :) its summer all year round in Singapore anyway, isn't it? so i can always find some weekend outing to wear them out to~ prob is i always wait for every parcel in desperate and worriesome anticipation.. because i have this feeling i'm getting cheated by one of the merchants who claims she has mailed out my parcel worth SGD$90 but has completely ignored my requests for the tracking number :( damn~ that's about the only danger of shopping online (Apart from clothes that fail to fit nicely of course or those that look so different from their pictures~!). missing parcels or untrustworthy merchants!
i've also finished reading the entire shopaholic series~ i have a feeling there are books in that series that have the same content and all that differs is the title. ailay feels the same way too :) argh i've spent $29 on book rentals.. finished 4 books from the shopaholic series in exactly one week and the last one in 24 hours.
i actually spent $6/book for some rentals because i forgot that the book rental home delivery service that i found on the net actually existed. somehow or rather, in desperation to read on.. that fact just slipped to the back of my head. well anyway, thankfully i still managed to rent 2 books with that service, one of which is entitled: Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps. its an interesting read and i love it when doodoo reads it to me. its enjoyable to listen to him reading it (in the daytime, but it feels like a factual bedtime story) and i just couldn't help but laugh and laugh at the way the differences between men and women are described. as it says, men and women are simply different. biologically and whatever. not better, not worse, just different. i love those words, as much as i hate experiencing them sometimes haha! but as long as we're not gay/les, we love opposites.
ailay recommended that i reserve the books i want from the national library at SGD$1.50, but the waiting time could take up to 3 weeks. three whopping weeks!! can you believe it? well, i have an interest in reading to maintain (without joining some english degree programme of course) and taking into consideration how addicted i was to the shopaholic series, and how spoilt i naturally am, i just had to have the books at the NOW of that point in time :X!
and i can't believe that this coming Monday marks the last week of the June school holidays.. oh noo :( another 10 weeks of struggling, suffering and God knows what. (sometimes i don't know what to expect)~ i see that i am already looking forward to the December holidays.. which actually start at the end of November :)

but at least things have fallen into place, they're all decided now. there's no looking back, there's only moving forward. i'm somewhat glad for that, but still i am uncertain about the future. but then i think again - who is? (except for fortune tellers.. but are they able to tell their own future, i wonder?). i am just going to take things a step at a time like what i've always done. high-flying, well-paying jobs? for some reason, i think the only reason why i've ever considered those is only for my future (whereby the world speaks of nothing but $). but for now, i just don't see an immediate need. i think that no matter where you are, if you have what it takes, you will get there anyway. how long it takes, would be an issue for another day.
anyway, i was reading the newpaper (again) the other day and someone wrote in to say that people are simply avoiding places that don't give out plastic bags on certain days so that someone thinks that we should be rewarded for efforts to reduce the use of plastic bags. now i wonder if this is typically s'porean - every effort will be made to get a free gift, including writing in to the press. well i think it is totally disgusting. no offence to the person, because he/she's probably not the only person out there who thinks that the government ought to be rewarding us in some way or other to reduce the use of plastic bags and for joining in the whole 3Rs thing. but hey~ isn't it supposed to be our freaking responsibility? i seriously think that the world has become like this because we, the selfish people of Earth just take our resources entirely forgranted (until someone came up with the 3Rs). so shouldn't it be our responsibility to try and save it since we were the ones who caused global warming and the whole catastrophe? what does this have to do with being rewarded to do so? if its a responsibility, we should be doing it with a heart and not with a heart for monetary or material rewards. i would say 'damn' if i could.
well i'm not a super save-the-earth person (or not as much as when i was younger.. loving the term "environmentalist" and reading up on this enviro-friendly book from the zoo)~ but the simple act of throwing away countless plastic 1.5l polka green tea bottles actually pricks my conscience. and i see this image of a recycling bin miraculously popping up in this tweetle mind of mine everytime i get pricked. how nice.

what exactly is important to me right now? or am i just too immature to decide at this point in time? well anyway, at least the sky seems clearer ever since i've made a decision and stuck to it.
town seems boring these days. feels like there's nothing i've never seen before.. and it feels like a chore to walk around the various shopping centres cos one can already know what to expect to see. even the new shopping centres as boring~ cos there ain't enough specialty shops to fill up the place. everywhere i go its the usual stuff that anyone can name at the back of their hand. perhaps i've just been going out too much over the past few days ever since the hols started that suddenly it has become mundane to me.
i realised i've never felt unbroke. because money's never enough, no matter how much i have. so what papa said was true~ no matter how much you earn, it'll never be enough. but somehow or rather at the end of the day, week or month.. we just seem to be able to make it seem like its E.N.O.U.G.H. for us, always.
and i just realised too, that by giving up on NTU's offer, i'm actually letting go of the opportunity to expand my horizons.. to go into another field.. and to maybe touch on other possibilities such as journalism and blablabla. well good thing is, i'm staying away from those political places (which of course pay much more, and would be of a lot of help) but which i don't think i can ever stand. so there goes my hopes of meeting some richass guy. haha! not that those "hopes" were strong enough to stand on their own. another plus point: i feel the best way to keep in touch and maintain a healthy "want" to read would be to do so at leisure.. or with interest. having to do it in and out for 4 years doesn't sound too bad, but i'm just not sure if that's where i really want to go. same with anything else i suppose - all the more i shouldn't slug it out for 4 years for an honours programme then, when i can get a degree in two. (especially when i can't imagine how bad i'd feel if i don't get the first class as well).
but at least things have fallen into place, they're all decided now. there's no looking back, there's only moving forward. i'm somewhat glad for that, but still i am uncertain about the future. but then i think again - who is? (except for fortune tellers.. but are they able to tell their own future, i wonder?). i am just going to take things a step at a time like what i've always done. envy-licious high-flying, well-paying jobs? for some reason, i think the only reason why i've ever considered those is only for my future (whereby the world speaks of nothing but $). but for now, i just don't see an immediate need. i think that no matter where you are, if you have what it takes, you will get there anyway. how long it takes, would be an issue for another day.

and i just had to mention, its only been 3 days~ but i've completed 2 books from the shopaholic series. damn. now i hate renting cos i finish reading the books so quickly that it makes me feel as if i'm being shortchanged. hmm how did i do it? i was actually helping out at another one of those seminars that Char's mom organized but apparently it turned out that i spent most of my time reading :). also, the speaker (this is the 2nd time we meet) gave me a trumpet CD and said that if i like it, email him so he can purchase more for me and pass 'em to me the next time he comes by Singapore! how cool is that? anyway he's such a nice guy.. and he being a teacher before (and probably a good one at that), supported my work with children with Autism. well why am i putting this all down? seriously i don't know.
well bye!
