my memory got the better of me

i had gotten my dates in my organiser (now what kind of organiser is that now?) all mixed up and so a friend's birthday wishes ended up getting to her only a week after it had passed. oh gawd i feel so guilty, sorry and silly.

i should've double-checked with someone whose boyfriend's birthday falls on the same day as that friend of ours, so that means she would never forget our friend's birthday as well. i wonder if i should wish for that kind of luxury. but maybe not.

anyway, i went to sentosa with my cousin wei-lin, as she's here as an intern with some of the hospitals here~ whee.. she comes from london.. and so i can't help but think back of the shopaholic series of books that i had read since it was mainly set in britain.

we visited the beaches, dolphin lagoon (the pink dolphins are SO cute and did anyone know that it takes 20 years for their skin to turn pink? i didn't know before i went there!), took the luge & chairlift and had a meal with our aunt at coastes~ which had these cool log seats and an oven that looked like a fireplace. woohoo! we ended up getting a little red and sunburnt as well =/ the sun wasn't too kind to us that day but at the same time, we couldn't do without it! then we went back to vivo for some shopping haha.. where needless to say, i bought something on impulse again. something i probably would never wear but i thought it was cheap -.-

oh and i am getting so mad. everyone's going to be carrying the car bag sooner or later. more and more of the local folks are actually bringing it in for cheaps, so i can say byebye to exclusivity. well some look similar but some don't. some have car number plates and some don't, even though they're in the same colour as those that i have. what really makes me mad is that i paid $10.90 more for 1) home delivery and 2) this stupid car number plate that has funny letters put together which i cannot figure out what they stand for. still, i'd rather get more car bags even if the whole world is carrying them cos they're simply too cute for me to resist (i wanna get gold please!! but no bronze for me~). plus i find it difficult to bring myself down to some LV or Tods or Gucci shop to get a bag, because i'm one of those who walk down the street peeking at the so-called branded bags that people carry and i try to figure out at the same time if those are real or fake. why would i want to succumb to what those people are experiencing? those carrying fakes will just look terrible if found out and i suppose there's lots of them out there so why buy them? and so i don't see the point in carrying a branded bag when there's tons of fakies out there. just look at abercrombie and fitch. and then juicy couture. those poor brands have been cheapened by bulk imports of fakes. well maybe juicy couture is still wearable considering new designs keep coming out and the quality, material and designs are always so nice and uncomparable to the fakes. i suppose at the end of the day that's what makes up for the difference in prices~ and there will always be peeps to get the real stuff cos 1) its leet thanks to the price -.-. 2) its always more assuring to get the authentic deal.

i'm so happy XD! i found a choc-u-lator, which is a calculator which smells and looks like a bar of chocolate! it even comes with the foil wrapping that comes with cadbury chocolates :) i can't wait to get mine~~

this is so exciting. 5 more weeks till the end of school and i'm FREE.
