Fun in the sun

Winter is here!
And we all love winter clothes.
But here in Singapore we don't get to wear them: What a pity!!

Haha that was inspired by the many nice pieces of winter wear I saw just now, plus our discussion on how lovely e winter season is.
Shopping with Lois was a blast today!

Wheeeee. I felt like I was drifting about in dreamland, enjoying fine things in life.
At the very last part when I was walking to Heeren from Cine (to get fetched home), I saw the Christmas decorations and ohhh. That feeling came back rushing to me. I love Christmas!

Ahhhh. I don't think anyone who's never experienced what I have or better, will ever understand the feeling I'm talking about. Christmas was always special to me as a kid. The start of the new year too. Buying new books, bags, pencil cases, stationery.. I would never fail to contain this excitement and (shallowly, materialistic, but special) happiness everytime this time of the year came. On the way home, I spotted two Christmas trees under the warm, yellow, litted living rooms of the condo nearby, and it looked so cozy, it brought back some old times and certain feelings, and that further inspired me.

I WANT A CHRISTMAS TREE.
:D

I shall start from the beginning of the day..
I ate a light breakfast and spent one hour getting ready, since there was nothing to do before leaving the house to meet lois and you never know how long I'll take on which day so I just took my own sweet time today. (p/s: that's the reason why I'm always late 3/4 of the time)
Neways after getting ready (I WILL take however long you give me, even 3 hours probably) I decided to leave the house about 10 minutes before our scheduled time. And my mum nicely obliged to driving me to taka after I asked her to. Haha and I reached there like, just on time, or maybe 3 minutes later than planned but it was still early since I waited for abt 10 minutes for Lois to come.

When she came we talked and walked, and, as usual, we walked and walked without looking where we were going and ended up making a few rounds.
At least we were talking.
Anyway, we shopped around taka. Oh.. while waiting for her I peered into the glass doors of Tiffany's and the jewellery there is bee-yoo-ti-fulll! Oh goshhh! (=
I LOVE Tiffany's! But we'll think about that in the future.

We shopped at hmm, the departmental section? We seemed to have shopped quite a bit at taka but i can't seem to remember where exactly we went.. Anyway booked an express pedi at three. It was 11.30 btw.

Went for lunch at Ajisen. Lois only ordered a plate of mayo prawns and a drink while I ordered seafood ramen and agedashi tofu (sp?) and a drink so I felt really fat. :O But she had eaten late b'fast and I was hungry! Haha nah I'm not that serious abt the fat part lah.
Anyway, we talked and caught up and I took a long time to finish my food because:
1. We talked = less time to concentrate on eating alone
2. My braces made me take a long time to chew and everything

Oh yeah, I think I've made improvement! Now I can eat more varied sorts of food even after just 3 (is it?) days of putting them on! I was supposed to eat porridge for a few days before eating solid food. But who doesn't get tired of porridge? (I only ate porridge twice)
Anyway, I think I'm digressing A LOTTT.

Oh wait I have so much to write can I digress more. Hehe :D
Yesterday was my first time trying my Canon compact photo printer! And it is so cool. Haha I am easily fascinated. The printer prints a layer of yellow, then it goes out and back in, then the same for red, and then the final time it prints it turns from red to the correct colour! Omg! I am in awe. It's so cool to see it change in just one going-in-and-out process.

KAY KAY, I shall go back to LUNCH.
After lunch we paid up.. Hmm should I count how much I spent today? (Wiped out almost my whole wallet AGAIN. Did that the past 2 times I went out with shenny :/)
Lunch was $16.25.
We went to hmm, shop again (I think) after that.

After shopping for a while at Taka, we went to Wisma.
And we shopped quite a lot there again.
Ooooh, I like wisma for shopping.. We went basically everywhere. To name some of them, we went to F21, Topshop (i looooove TS) & lol I don't know, basically just ALL the shops. It was super fun. Shopping makes me really happy when I'm with the right people; ZOMGZ I saw A LOT of nice stuff today.. (Ahhh everything is so nice ;)) but I didn't buy! After all, there will always be a never ending line of nice stuff. I can't buy them no matter how much I wish to. I wish I had more money.

ANYWAY (why do I keep digressing zz) we just shopped and talked and it was quite fun doing just that.. I love shopping with friends. And my mum, sometimes. Esp when I get to buy things I really like and she pays. Hahaha ;)))))

Anyway today seemed like a really long day, like we did many things. Hmm, long means good sometimes, for me there are a lot of times when I am enjoying myself yet the day seems much longer than normal mundane days. (eg. school days. they are the shortest)

WTF I am digressing yet again. We went to many places and it was so much fun (yes, I'm a shopaholic: I'm quite happy since it makes me happy but boo cos it sounds as if i have a problem wtf -.-). Newayy, I bought two tank tops from topshop for $38 (add it in today's cost!) and got a $10 voucher because I had accumalated more than 250 pts for my TOPSHOP membership! :D
Which gives me another reason to go back to Topshop by the end of one month because the voucher only lasts till then. I am quite stupid actually, I could have paid for one tank top, got the voucher, and then used it to pay for the other one. Anyway this purchase made me very happy because I'd been wanting to get Topshop (quality and cutting is best to me) tank tops since half a year ago but they'd always run out of sizes; Lois and I also agree that buying something when going out gives us a sense of satisfaction haha.

We are high maintainence people man. So our parents say. We saw these cute Little i (saw them many places before) mints in cute pink boxes with mirrors inside and on the covers the various designs read 'high maintence', 'spoilt rotten', etc. There were quite a few different ones. How suitable, we thought. I doubt the mints are nice though, are they?

Anyway we went to Topshop twice. Haha. Because there was a lot of time to spare before our scheduled pedis. We both tried on some stuff. But Topshop is ex. No money. Honestly I'm feeling mighty broke this holiday.
Okay, at three we walked back to Taka for our pedis.

We went to 'The Nail Place' - quite an apt name for the services they provide.
The pedi was so fun. We got to see a few sample colours the girl painted on our nails before doing the pedi. We ended up choosing a light shade of pink (not so obvious for school tomorrow shit why am I announcing this to the whole world) which has a shiny and pretty finish.
I like the way they shape, spritz, clean, whatever!

I thought about it and came to the conclusion that since I am posting more and more photos on my blog nowadays, I shall post less from now on. Esp camwhore photos. Haha. Zz. I think I am the person who posts the most photos the most frequently. Or at least among the people I know LOL

(talking to self)
Selective of the photos I post, please. I upload new batches of photos up to 4 consecutive days sometimes when I go out pretty often, and if I take photos then. My 'My Pictures' is getting fuller and fuller and I bet my computer's memory space is fast depleting. Zomg I think the pictures I took this year is by far more than what I've taken in any other year! Maybe even those that were taken of me by my parents when I was young (we have one whole cupboard full of photo albums).

-This post is getting really long (sudden realisation)

-I sound like a retard talking to myself half of the time in this post (realisation #2)

Here are the photos.
Please enjoy :) (OMG OMG! THERE ARE 976 PHOTOS IN MY PHOTOBUCKET ALBUM WHICH WAS CREATED JUST THIS YEAR! ZOMG CAN I BELIEVE MYSELF.)
Very cute Christmas Tree made of bears at Taka.

We love going to GAP!

The nail place we went to

Rows of colours to choose from

Random luh

A few shades we were given to choose from.. There was also silver on Lois' nail.. Chose the one on my third finger in the end.

Shape.

Sprayed some wet thing which was supposed to soften cuticles? or sth

Cleaning with an orange stick. (Is putting my feet here weird?)

Already my toes look so much better!

End result.

:)

After the pedi was done, we paid up at the cashier; it was $26.75 (add on to list). Next, we walked over to cine and bought tickets for..

The movie was really nice! I liked it a lot, more so than the first :)))))

Well, before going to watch Madagascar at five, we took neoprints and then went to eat ice cream at this japanese place. Neoprints were really fun: we hadn't taken in a while, and two of six were really pretty! :D hehe but TWO of six.. some of the rest were quite/ very unglam tee hee. But I don't really care :) (Neoprints: $5.50)

How they roughly look like tee hee :D

Ice cream was good. Hahaha, Lois ordered a citrus sorbet and she thought it tasted really weird so she left the entire scoop except a mouthful untouched and ate up all the pocky that came with it. I had black sesame (I find it yum!) and ate everything up, oops, ice cream = fats. But nevermind. As usual, I took photos again! HAHA I think it's a bit awkward as a photographer to take photos somtimes; ppl might think you're weird. Like when doing duty, as well, standing as one extra thing in front of the hall :O

Mine

Lois' untouched ice cream.

ROFL FUNNEH LAH XDD

Ice cream costed $3.50 ++ with GST and all should be four plus I can't rmb exactly tho.

Oh yeah movie costed $10. How expensive.
Hotdog which I ate and which was chewy, hard to chew, and which didn't taste of very high quality, costed $5.20. These cinema snacks are seriously overpriced. Lois' medium (smallest size) popcorn was $6. A small box of potato wedges was $4.80. Not very worth it, if you ask me.

Let me tell you something quite sad: My nail polish on both of my big toes got ruined! I don't know how it happened, Lois just suddenly pointed it out and I was OMG cos it was quite seriously ruined and it was barely over an hour after I'd gotten it done: darn! I thought of re-doing it when I got home, but now I think I'm lazy so I'll just leave it be.

We went home after the movie (around 6.30): YAY I love days when we actually stay out for quite long. (: And that was when I saw the Christmas decorations and felt so nice and Christmassy and dreamy and like I was back in time and like I was overseas and like I was living a cool life of luxury and like it was really winter and ohhh. (:
ME LUBB WESTERN HOLIDAYS MUCH! :D

My family came to pick me up and then we went home and I was really inspired to draw up a list of cool stuff I wanna do the rest of this hol. Like exercising! Who wants to go with me? I shall swim/ play badminton most prob. And then all the fun fun stuff omg I'm so happy. I still have one million things on my wishlist (and counting).
Haahah, there are so many things and so many different wishlists that I can't keep track of every single thing I want and what I've already gotten!

Hmm okay, ICYL performance early tomorrow morning, should be sleeping soon! Bye! :))

♥ her royal juiciness.-
