My mum and I went shopping for boots today. I really fancied 2 pairs of boots (from different shops), but guess what? They didn't have either in my size, and both are the only outlets in S'pore. I think like 90% of the women in Singapore have the same foot size as I do. It happens so often- I find a pair of shoes I really like and lo and behold, they're out of stock, nationwide. Duh. But anyway, the good news is, I did manage to get a pair I pretty much like. The heels are about 2" and yeah, it's pretty with jeans! One year ago and I wouldn't have thought of wearing heels but I'm starting to adore them a lot now. :) Anyway, my boots were not a mindless indulgence, since I can't wear any other shoes lest my toes would freeze to death and probably suffer from frost bite or something. I also got a pair of dangling, diamante earrings for grad night. I hope everything turns out perfectly sweet on grad night for everyone! Can't wait to see all my wonderful friends dressed up and really enjoying the night, celebrating and reminiscing about the past few years spent together. I reckon it's gonna be an emotional night for most. I'm gonna miss them more than I can imagine I think. Hmm, on a closing note..it's really, really wonderful not having to worry or even think about school work now! And what's more, it's the Christmas season! I know Christmas is more than just fairy lights and dazzling decorations, but each year I look forward to the magical sights and sounds of Christmas. Furthermore, I adore Christmas songs, they really get me into this lovely festive mood. :) I LOVE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR! :) I hope all of you do tooo!

Shopping with Boonie! Girl, you've gotta buy that gown! It fits you like a glove and it's so babelicious! ;) Feel like a radiant bride already! Watched the Guru today. It's quite funny. And remember kids, your brain is the biggest sexual organ. On a sidenote, the scintillating fairy lights that are up for Christmas deco this year are so pretty! Sitting under the lights and just absorbing the whole Christmas-sy atmosphere whilst talking is just about the nicest feeling in the world. Oh well, I'm pretty burned out now though. I just long for a good warm bath.

HELLOOOOOOOOO world! You bet it feels goooooood to be back. Back to life outside these four walls! Back to the days of hardcore sex and alcohol! Okay, not quite. :) Got up this morning, feeling all doom and gloom (more of the latter actually..) 'cause I thought I'd be home alone today since everyone was busy with everyone else but me. But ahah, mom called and of course, we went shopping! I've finally bought my heels for grad night. It's a sparkley open toed pair that matches quite well with my dress. Lusted over the M)phosis pair of course, but it definitely doesn't go well with my dress. Maybe next time eh. Took a cab to People's Park to buy cute little crystals for my dress. (and a cab back to town cause we're the laziest bums around. didn't intend the rhyme, but just as well.) Heh. Actually, it's sometimes more affordable to take a cab, considering the amount of time saved and everything. But that aside, I sent my dress for alteration to make it a little tighter. I didn't like the whole flare-out skirt thing. Hope it doesn't get ruined! :)
This is not really in chronological order, but who cares. I got my eyebrows neatened today and my mom decided to buy me a new tube of mascara. Glib-tongued sales assistants. They're so good at making you feel like it's absolutely normal to spend over a 100 bucks on Japanese facial care just after spending 20 mins in their shop. But you know what, my mantra is, spend the money if it's worth it, so hey, all's good! :)
Had dinner at Ikea with church friends. I must remind myself not to eat the meatballs again, not that it's not good but I *keep* eating the same thing! Dropped by Daryl's place and watched a couple of BMW short films. Cool. SO YES, that pretty much sums up my day. I don't usually sum up my day in a nutshell, much less speak of it in detail but I'm feel rather quirky tonight, so there! It's that time of the month again... when I desperately *need* to change this disgusting layout. Ugly, ugly, UGLY. Oh well, who cares. I'm gonna download more Sex in the City and Gilmore Girls!

Hi. Just want one more paper to the end of everything I've studied for in the past 4 years (or 10). Wow. I'm officially bored this afternoon. It's chilly inside and my cat, Chelsea is snugged up against the pillows. She's one contented kitty. Anyhow, I've been told that if you can't speak French in Paris, you'll get snubbed and everything. Someone also told me that French guys dig Asian girls. Another good reason to brush up on my French. :) Probably only applies to hot Asian girls, oops, I think that rules me out. Haha. Well. Je m'apelle Rachel et tu est tres jolie! :)

I should be in bed, tucked under my comforter and dreaming the world away. But no, I was rudely awakened and told that I had to wake up beacause my parents were coming home to bring me out for lunch. Been waiting for 45 minutes, and nope, no sign of them. Bummer. I realized that I have totally nothing much to wear these days. Well, there is a lot of stuff that I do have, but don't like or rather, can't fit in. The only way to get about this is, buy more clothes. Now I'll just have to find a sugar daddy to support me. :D Haha. And this layout sucks, it needs a revamp.

So now it pours- torrents of rain. I cannot see it because it is so dark outside but the pitter-patter of the water is therapeutic enough. Slow dripping emotion.

(it's raining).. raw crystalline drops pelting down the azure blue sky. an unexpected cloudburst, pregenant with urgency, a soaking of the noon-day heat. soon, the sky mellows to a bluish-gray, the colour of my cat's eyes. misty, misty eyes. "let it rain, open the flood gates of heaven"

Didn't enlarge the photo cause its pretty shitty in the first place. Did I hurt your eyes, handsome? Oh well. Bored people. Anyway, changed the webcam capture to a photo of my calender. :) No more witch, the last time I wanted to be a witch was during Halloween last year, heh. No blue contacts for me either! Photos lie. Aghhh, but on a more important note.....E maths today, gotta do some practices. Hope I don't make careless mistakes.

I caught myself singing Christmas songs (namely, Walking in a Winter Wonderland. Incidentally I'm only familiar with that line) during my shower, instead of reciting Literature quotes for tomorrow's paper. Woebegone..

I keep forgetting that "Xiang Chang" means Fragrant Intestines. Fragrant, I understand, but intestines! Deliciously juicy, oily no, not sausages, but intestines! The temptation was so great I had to have one, only to recall the grotesque fact when my teeth were already sunken into it's succulent meat and my lips were around half of that offending red sausage. Gag me. I shall never allow myself to be allured into eating any animal's intestines, however seemingly delicious it might taste! On second thought, maybe intestines aren't that bad. Maybe it's just this mindset I have that doesn't allow me to find pleasure in eating the entrails of an animal, even if it did taste good. Snippet of info, I used to like fried intestines, that was before I knew they were intestines. Maybe I wouldn't have complained so much if those Xiang Changs were piping hot, instead of just warm and unappetizing.
Hmm, will it be Sleepless In Seattle or Sleepless In Studies tonight? Or maybe I can indulge and plummet myself in both. Sounds of the chinese funeral procession outside fill my room. The funeral elegy, the sounding of the knell, the mournful chants.... man, I need some TV. (No link, I like! hehe)

WOW, crazy night. (yeah a couple of days before the big O..) Woke up early in the morning to catch up on revison. Not much done, but oh well, a little is better than none at all! Accompanied my mother to the hair saloon (again! madness, I tell you) and got sucked (well, literally too..) into a hair treatment for myself.. you know, steaming, conditioning, the works. Quite silly, but we took a neoprint after that. Haha! Weird huh, but it turned out rather pretty.. :) Met Daryl for dinner and all of us, including my mum and sis ended up at Breeks. Buffet dinner, all expenses on my mum's card. Woohoo! ;) Mum and sis left early cause sis had fencing class, leaving Daryl and I to continue our long dinner. I almost felt sick from eating so much! The brownies were really delicious but I couldn't bear another spoonful of food. Bad! Oh yeah, and the potatoes were pretty nice. Also, the waiter forced me to buy a drink. Really, he was SO persistent and SO good at making me feel like I would be the nastiest girl on earth if I didn't buy a drink from him. Sounds crazy, but it's true.
Headed down to the Esplanade to stroll and yeah, digest our food. Missed the fire-works (were they? we just saw sparks from afar off actually). Played with Octopussy's tentacles. Heh. ;) Cute things. Walked to Chijmes and peeped into the church where a wedding dinner was held. Didn't see much, but it looked soo beautiful, so grand, so perfect! It was all white and pretty, good music too. :) I hate chinese wedding dinners, think I'll never settle for one. If people can't even be punctual for it, why bother? Oh well. Pretty place it is, strange to think that my mum was schooling there so many years back. To think that it's a wine and dine spot now. Not bad at all. Anyway, I LOVE WEDDINGS. I think. It's just almost every little girl's fantasy to get swept off her feet by a Prince Charming and live happily ever after. Too much Walt Disney it seems. Well, I never liked Barbie dolls much, but when I was given one as a little girl, I requested for a white lace gown for her, with veil and everything. I even wanted my mum to buy me Ken with a suit. I didn't like the other trashy Barbies, just bride Barbie will do. Haha.. weird that I'm so girlish/childish like that. Guess I'm still a little girl at heart huh.
Anyway, the rest of the night was about walking (a whole damn lot), waiting for buses, deciding whether to take a cab or bus, waiting for a cab, walking to good spots to take a cab, waiting somemore, getting damn tired of waiting, deciding to take a bus, realizing that the bus didn't go to that particular bus-stop, walking to a taxi stand, deciding to wait somewhere else cause NO taxis were in sight, and FINALLY, yes FINALLY getting a cab. UTTER INSANITY. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL. This is sooooo weird. I was on the verge of believing that I'll never find my way home. I felt stranded, strangely enough, in the heart of town. I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE! My parents bought a cute car for the company recently and my mum told me they bought it with me in mind....heh! ;) Spanking!!

The glamourous world out there is so alluring; so misleading. One wrong move and it's down that dark abyss again.

Had my hair done in the saloon today. Pretty happy with my new highlights. She blowed dried my hair really straight, too bad it's only temporary. Super straight hair is just so much more manageable and it looks so sleek too. :) She trimmed my hair as well cause I had split ends. My hair's pretty dry, I think. Was supposed to sit for another hour (ouch) for my hair treatment, but we were running short of time..blah!! Well, anyway, met Daryl for dinner and it was sweeeeet.. I'm beaming. ;) Came home and tried my mum's old clothes, again! I tried her leather jackets and other winter wear. Will probably wear them for my trip in November. Can hardly wait! She has this *beautiful* leather jacket with a fur collar..glamglamGLAM! Some of her clothes are older than I am, imagine that! But because they're pure leather and she keeps them well, they're in immaculate condition! I've already decided- I'm gonna wear lovely, striking coats with black stockings and heeled boots! Sounds weird now, but I think it looks pretty good. :) But I think you can't wear heels and walk on snow! Bah hum bug. Oh well, what a fantastic day, heh! Must study a bit now..! And here's a snapshot of my hair! Ignore the eyebags.. I feel like a racoon already. :) On a closing note, I'm listening to Your Body Is A Wonderland by John Mayor and well, it's just so incredibly CUTE! Okay, I'm out of here!
