tempting me

by

Argh! I can’t understand why Metamorphose has to tempt me with their sale section when everything under that section has a big fat ‘SOLD OUT’ next to it. Like give me some hope yea? 9000+ yen for a jumper skirt or one-piece is cheap considering it’s from a famous lolita brand.

celebrating the nation’s birthday

by

Oh well, it was Singapore’s 43rd birthday about an hour ago. Happy 43rd! 🙂

Deary took me out to have dinner at Mushroom Pot and then go watch the fireworks. I think he didn’t really want to spend too much and was thinking of ordering one-pan-meals, but I sort of insisted on eating steamboat. :sweat: Well, he gave in to me. Thanks deary! :love: It was kinda a mushroom overload for him, but it was mushroom-y goodness for me!

I think this would be the first and last time we would watch the fireworks live on National Day. Too many people. Many roads closed and lots of re-direction of human traffic resulting in chaos. To make things worse, Bangladeshi workers squeezing in the crowd. These workers are really one kind. They WILL push their way no matter what…even when there’s a human jam and it’s almost impossible to move. They NEED to move in a group and their groups do not exist in small numbers mind you. They CANNOT and WILL NOT be seperated from each other even though they are all moving in the same direction. Wah lau…if it’s not Bangladeshi workers then it’s China workers. Not that I’m being racist or what, but it’s true.

Looking forward to 15th…*winks*

lolita styles

by

LJ is like the most fantastic place to search for sprees and stuff. Was checking out LJ for lolita group sites which might have online shops advertising. Well, I’m looking for a good bargain for a pair of white mary-janes to go with my sweet lolita outfit. I checked out the shop in Far East Plaza. They sell the shoes at SGD80+. I think I can get cheaper ones from this HK ebay seller. That’s where I got my (fake) rocking horse shoes from.

Anyway, I came across this LJ which gives a good writeup on the different lolita styles. So, next time I don’t have to try so hard to explain to people what are the different styles. It’s just cut and paste a website address. :laugh:

fighting mushrooms and pigs

I know this sounds childish, but I’m back to playing MapleStory. After trying out too many Yahoo! game trials, I got fed up and went to reset my Asiasoft pin so I could play Audition and maybe Pangya. 10 minutes into playing Audition, I decided that I sucked at it and MapleStory is better. I play to kill my boredom and not coz I adore the game. I will probably get sick of it after some time and uninstall it.

In less than a month, I will be back in the States. I kinda dread studying like shit all over again just to get a good GPA. The worst part is it’s not like I have a choice coz if I don’t study like shit, my conscience will just nag me till I drop dead or something AND I will feel like nothing when I stand next to the rest…including deary. *psst* It’s not like I don’t feel like nothing already…

I contemplated telling you how I feel, but now I’ve decided to tell you. Only thing is, I’ll tell you on the 15th. No no…don’t worry, it’s nothing bad. Really…I swear.

how to deal with disappointment

by

I thought I had it planned and settled all nicely. Contact the relevant person, secure a spot, and include that in my application. Things were going pretty well until I received bad news in the form of an sms. I was denied internship coz 3 weeks is just too short. Huge blow…but I’ll push my luck a little. Replied saying that I don’t mind a job shadow which means I won’t be paid. The reply I got was that it could have been explored, however, HR must be rather busy so in short…no. Just politely replied to end off the conversation.

Dazed. Blank. What am I going to do? You don’t know how much this would mean to me. What it would cost me. What am I going to use to prove myself? Is it my fault? Did I bring this upon myself? Should I have just gone ahead as planned instead of cutting the time to 3 weeks? But I was really tired… 🙁

Thank God, I was with Deary. He gave me hugs and the strength I needed to deal with the disappointment. As everyone knows, I recover quickly from such unhappy episodes. I’m fine now and have some little plans in mind. Hopefully they work out fine.

Looking on the brighter side, at least I get the time I want to fully relax.

puffy hearts

by

I have always been fascinated and drawn to colour pens of all sorts. My latest addition is a set of what-they-call Popcorn Pens. First, you write/draw whatever you want. Then, you apply heat to it – hairdryer is the best. You’ll see your words/drawing start puffing up like icing on a cake.

My first try kinda failed and I ended up thinking I might have got ripped off. If at first you don’t succeed, what do you do? Try again. This time I applied heat for a longer time and…VIOLA! It worked~~~ :heart:

I didn’t charge my digicam batteries so had to take a picture with Kuro-chan.

Somehow, テゴマス always gets nice songs. :love:

I would have drawn this out, but there’s no scanner attached to Maru-chan and the desktop is pretty wonky.

the event and the list

by

After 3 days of little sleep, the event is finally over. I think the hardest part of the registration desk job was to keep awake while there is really nothing to do. I tried arranging the name tags, doodling on the note pad, testing the limit of my sight while checking out sponsor tables for freebies, talking to Cass, eating…I must say I really exhausted all possible ways of keeping myself occupied so that I would not fall asleep. All this was going on while Qing Xian was loading powerpoint presentations and happily surfing the net for haunted places in Singapore on Maru-chan in the ballroom. Argh…I really wanted to surf the net too~~~ My beloved Maru-chan~~~

I think the little sleep we got has taken its toll on Deary. He has fallen sick. Awwwwww… 🙁 From this event, I really saw how Deary is so serious about work. I think he really earned the respect and trust of his employer/ex-lecturer. I have much to learn and follow. I don’t know, maybe it’s a personal standard I set for myself. I don’t like to short-change my employer, so I want to make sure I do a perfect job. However, it seems like I always manage to screw up a little. *pokes self* I’m sure it also has something to do with my confidence problem. *sigh*

Work aside, I think I sort of have a clothes-buying list forming…mostly lolita stuff to match the pink sweet lolita dress I got from Body Line.

  1. White tights (preferably 80 denier)
  2. Frilly knee-high white socks
  3. Pink/White lolita bag
  4. White Mary-Jane lolita shoes
  5. White frilly long-sleeved blouse
  6. White frilly short-sleeved blouse
  7. Denim shorts
  8. Denim mini skirt

I discovered to my horror that there is a stitching error on the sleeve of my pink sweet lolita dress. I guess I will have to unpick a bit… Oh and the white long-sleeved blouse I got from Body Line, the lady kinda lied? It is a bit too big. *sigh*

Now that I have something of sweet lolita…I am thinking wa lolita next…
