Past few days has been good. No preachings, which I'm happy for. If I have to sit through another one, I don't know how I'd keep from seething smoke from my ears.


My two cousins & moi, out for drinks after Sunday Dim Sum : )


So I packed my bags today. Well, when I said packed I mean chucked all my clothes and shit into a suitcase. I'm not bringing everything thats in it right now, an elimination process will have to commence, much like that of Project Runway scrutiny. I don't want to emulate the America's Next Top Model low criteria of judgment.

Over in Providence, I never seem to have enough clothes. Casual or going out ones. Well actually I do better with going out ones but I shopped a lot when I was back here! So... its gonna be a packed suitcase. Fuck, I need to buy a bigger cabin bag. I don't want to accommodate the overweight single luggage by having to bring another bag in. Aghh!

I bought this amazing dress from Warehouse which I'd been eyeing for 2 months. My sister paid for it as my birthday present, though now I'm trying to decide if I should get that dress from Zara. Love it love it love it. Its like a satin number with black & gold small patterns like leopard print, but its a shift dress, kind of. I love it but my sister said I'll get tired of it fast and it won't last long after a few washes. But I love it NOW!

Trying to lose 5kg in 2.5 weeks. Damnnnnn. Luckily its the fasting season, so that plus the gym + skipping rope = gruelling work in taking that weight off. My legs are so chubby its annoying! All the good food got to my legs!

I'm getting excited about decorating my room.

Love the July issue of L'Officiel.

I'm trying to read up then summarize Psychology 101. Freud, OCEAN, Id, Ego and Superego, all that fun stuff. And Sociology 101 with some interesting terms in my brown leather bound notebook.

I'm boring. It's all for the appearance of wit really, where wit doesn't exist. But also for my own amusement. How sad.

I'm tempted to bring along my copy of Sophie's World in the suitcase.

Would Yves Saint Laurent have created the cage boots that has been all the rage this season?



I personally don't think so, and for good reason. Can you just imagine the gridlines you'd end up with when you take them off? Ye-ouch! But I guess people will go to any lengths for the ever-changing status of what's in and what's out.

Cue the knock-offs, like these from Urban Outfitters.



I've realized a long time ago that we girls buy all these things just to impress other girls. Not ourselves, or a significant other - but just that other girl. The one who sits beside you, the one who is perusing the clothes rack beside you in the store you're in, the girl who is in the bar that just came in with the guy - and for what? To feel like you've one-upped someone with... a pair of shoes?

Of course, I'm not distinguishing myself from doing this. For me though, when I see someone who has on something that I like, I just like it without a feeling of jealousy. This doesn't go the same way with others though. I know some girls who get jealous and go "Ugh, she doesn't deserve that (item of envy)"

Of course, maybe I'm just ranting.

But seriously, cage shoes? If I were a staunch feminist, I could just say the many things this pair of shoes imply, but my mind is affixed on that dreadful gridlined feet that slips out of those metal frames.

Ugh.
