back from HK and almost-24 :|

Sorry I have been M-I-A since getting back from the break that I was waiting for such a long time (get away from the stifle of not having my own place, the continuity of things from god-knows when), but  then B decided that he needed to get his room re-done. New shelves and all, so it’s been quite a heap of dust, late-night hammering and building, cleaning and countless numbers of trips to Ikea.

Nonetheless, HK was great fun – excellent food, kick-ass shopping (i bought tooo many new shoes – almost did buy YSL tributes for a superbly good price but B said that they were too chunky and he did not like them) and the company of (in my mind) one of the best traveling companions (besides her good friends of course) that a girl could possibly have.

Thanks b:) for always being a sport and doing things that you do not normally do- including braving the crowd with me at the Jimmy Choo & H&M launch. (and yes, that includes having to wait an entire hour to have cheap and steaming glutinous rice)

Since coming back, my weekends have been filled with sun and baseball. watching B play. watching the team play. watching kids play by the green. It has been a good distraction from the hum-drum of school and exams, being at home, being in Singapore. Baseball is goood. Cheering is good. Winning is good. Being able to witness great camaraderie is good. Being able to be happy is good tooo.

Then I have been always fortunate to enjoy great dinners with the BEST FRIEND who is now ENGAGED!

But then, ahha. It has been this way for sometime now )

So from all this good, I have also been preparing myself mentally for work (and I must say that I am starting ONLY because my boss requested me to do so and therefore, cannot be considered as acquiescence to the demands of M who seems to think I have already gotten more breaks that I need).

Nonetheless, I am rather excited by the prospect of starting work. Finally, after all this time.

Work longer hours, be at home less. Suffer significantly lesser.

” All that I am after is a life full of laughter,
As long as I am laughin’ with you
I’m thinkin’ all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we’ve been through
Cause I know there’s no life after you
- Life After You, Daughtry

Addendum.

I find it very disconcerting to realize that every single time my brain is not being force-fed with legislation and law, its default position is, “Is THIS really meant to work?”

sigh.

I don’t like the fact that I keep thinking about THE OTHER SIDE. where the grass is greener and I always run free.

Mid-week.

Am I ever glad that it is Wednesday night.

Mid – week. 60% through. Just two more.

ONLY two more.

1 down, 4 more to go.

Ah, crim’s done and so now there’s property, corps, constit and evidence left. I thought I should be allowed some eye candy. I am currently in the process of acquiring all of the above. haiii.. need to pass these exams first!

But aren’t they so pretty?

New Oogly-Google-ly.

Erica Hobo, Denim Blue

Now that the week has almost ended and I still feel like the mountain of work left to be done has NOT yet reduced any great amount (even though I am almost MORE THAN half way through). I have decided that just for 5 minutes I shall spend some time looking at things that would make heart skip small tiny beats of joy (oh yes, I am done looking at photos of B) – so all that I have left in remainder are drool-worthy bags and shoes.

My latest discovery – through bagsnob (a feast for the eyes really) is the Smythson website. All white, clean-cut and everything in nice little squares – so you get to enjoy the bags in their full glory. Oh so pretty. They have wallets and a whole host of other things. like STATIONERYYYYY!

The Erica Hobo caught my eye (oooh yes yes it is that one above). I think it would be lovely to have bag in that kinda blue, all soft, slouchy and still have the ability to fit copious amounts of things (all sorts of knick-knacks that I’m depended on to have!). I can imagine it. Ahhh. oh so pretty. Furthermore, it fits nicely in the crook of your arm, it can be slung over your shoulder. Perfect.

And with a description like this:

The Erica is a slouchy, shoulder bag made from a shrunken sheepskin leather for an irresistibly soft finish. The Erica is named after the Italian briarwood tree used to make the wooden clasp, Erica Arborea.

Featuring zipped detailing on sides to expand the bag, the Erica comes in black and winter white with mauve satin lining and denim blue with contrasting malachite satin lining. Predictably practical, the Erica has a magnetic closure, zipped and ruched interior pockets to keep you beautifully organised.

So if you’ve got extra cash, don’t resist. See more here.

If I told you I would, I would be lying!

P.S: I do so desperately need to walk out of my house. and see retail in all its glory. Be around people (ok not alot of people though). I’m a city girl and there ain’t NO denying it.

T-3 days to B :)

Printer. Printer. Printer. Printer.

Anyone want to buy me a laser printer. The one I am after is $198 (seen above) and it would save me shit-loads of time and heartache, headache and a whole host of other ailments that I am already currently suffering from.

I NEED A FREAKING PRINTER THAT FREAKING WORKS.

damn.

Why can’t I have a printer? WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another reason why I should have packed my printer home. i need my printer . i miss my printer.

I need to be saved from this.

Studying – as if the World Depended on it.

BRIAN ATWOOD LOLA PUMPS

Just got slightly distracted though.

Aren’t they pretty?

The Purple Version is available at Saks and the Black, at the very friendly and drool-worthy net-a-porter site.

(p.s. i think the black is a go-go-go!)
