The Bra Saga - even brassierres need a home.

the job's been getting kinda stressful lately. the place is structured in certain ways, flexible in some.. and so i guess i'm still not too used with all of it yet - not enough to be as comfortable as i was in the other branch. but what fails to kill me willl make me stronger - i just hope i don't get sacked. haha? anyway, i've just seen my 2 new kids this week. one's 2.5 years old, and the other's 3.5 years old. SO YOUNG.

i finally cleared my jappie bra package.. whoo~ and guess what? i still want more. i bought my first ever purple bra (i still can't believe i did).. and it was cos the fit was pretty good :) it also had a very pretty bottom. got another one that reminds me of a piano.. black with white stripes, black lace and a keyhole at the front. the black lace part fits those pianos where people put those lacey lacey stuff on them. haha! not on mine though~ those are too frilly. it was so difficult deciding between those 2 cos it was fit vs design, so i got both in the end :X and the last one is an exotic piece, which i would like to keep the looks of it to myself :X

it feels good to be selfish sometimes, looking for stuff to buy for ME, and Me, and still me. but sometimes i do feel kinda guilty when i think back and reflect on the fact that i hadn't gotten much for mom or dad or my bro. point is, i don't know what to get for them. but i intend to give them a treat as soon as i can decide on the location, for i know mom would be happy to have a meal of course :) and i really should plan one, especially since i just got my bonus - though it isn't much :X but it felt nice to see my salary reach a peak for once though haha :D it crossed a pretty good mark. keywords here are "for once" in the past 20 years.

they've come up with a dress code for my workplace.. and it says NO Tees! which is kinda upsetting, cos i'm kinda classifying tees as almost everything and anything that's tee-shirt material. so where my work wardrobe is concerned, a couple of tees have already gone outta it and the status of their new home is currently pending since i hardly wear tees when i go out on weekends anymore (of course i'd wear dresses, i don't get to wear those on weekdays yea? but i find myself getting sick of dresses much more easily than tops X_X). well i figured it isn't just a couple of tees actually.. its more like.. quite a few :( and more are coming in from the sprees i joined months ago.

the weather is horrifying. and perhaps that's one of the things that makes me think of going to Japan like.. whenever i have the free time to do so. i've made a list of the places to visit when i'm in tokyo, and i'm not going there in winter (though i'd love to) because i won't be able to find clothes that suit Singapore's weather in japan's winter. i know because i've been there before.. and everything just looked so dowdy. the good thing abt going to cold places is that you get to wear sexy kickass boots though. haha :) sth that i'd never do in SG because imo, its just way too impractical. and people who do that. eww.. stinky boots.. i've aired my thoughts on this before in a previous post. so i don't want to touch on smelly topics again. anyway, i'm looking forward to going there in Spring, but i'm not sure if doodoo or i can find the time to do so :( we'll just have to wait and see what 2008 has in store for us then~

and i can't wait for my cousin Michele to come back to SG :) i've ordered a truckload of clothes through her.. and of all things she told her mom and her mom told her mom about my spending. X_X thankfully mummy's so understanding, and so willing to listen~ she knows that i didn't go overboard, as much as my cousin thinks i did. i really don't mean to complain, but it just so happens that i got reminded of her when i thought of "SHOPPING". i've been helping her out with some stuff too, but sometimes people just seem to forget and go "why do you need so many bras for?". well actually i don't. its just that signing a package gives me the excuse to get more and more. i did a count last night. 12 sets from the bra shoppe that brings in all the Japanese bras. and counting actually, considering there's other matching sets from elsewhere. oh and i feel so happy whenever i go home with those bras (though at the back of my mind i'm wondering if those buys were worthy ones). i'll sit myself down in front of the computer and start searching for their pictures from the Japanese site :) a reminder of my collection, which i hope to find a nice place to display (in the cupboard of course) so i can open up the doors and voila~ admire them, just like dresses.

honestly, will someone please tell me that i'm mad again?

i seriously think someone ought to build a brassiere wardrobe that comes with a set of suitably sized hangers. something that can store 20 exquisite sets or so and looks like a mini wooden house with a knobbed door that's as big as the house itself :) i would definitely buy that. and perhaps put up a sign on the front of it that says "Bee's Garden of Bras". BGB. how cute. i would paint flowers and butterflies and bees on the door with the little knob too, and bras and panties hanging on trees. or maybe.. i could get a lingerie tree. ah~ getting too carried away. guess i NEED to have my SUPPER or SLEEP!

toodles for now~
