The Cliche-ness. Blogspot.

Well, here I am. Finally hopped onto the bandwagon and got my tush here on Blogspot. Just like the rest of the world. Honestly, I still think it's beyond cheesy that everyone uses this site; Xanga at least had a more exclusive feel to it. But it's been so uncooperative lately... I tire of putting up with it already. So again, here am I. Teehee.

I miss the many many colour options I had at Xanga; the ease of selecting the border hue, background shade, and palette for fonts. But obviously, you can't always have it all. Nuh-uh. Unless... you have a huge crush on a pair of glittering stilettos; and you snatch it up to the counter without a second thought, and then you start regretting as soon as you find yourself in the fitting room of the sizeable boutique next door, the floor littered with clothes you have tried on, eyes flickering between two charming pieces, one hand apiece. Thus was the dilemma I found myself in; knowing there was no way my wallet held enough to take home all. The moral of the story is... it's times like this you can have it all; you just have to be persistent enough. =P I simply made a reservation for those two, and walked out of Kitschen with an almost tangible peace of mind. And that was just the beginning.

The stop at Kitschen was initially just to drop in and gawk at Juju, working at that time. Her new two-shifts-a-day-for-four-months job. =) She practically raced out from the store room area when 'nett called to say we were outside; ran right past our figures shaking with repressed laughter - our own backs pressed tightly to the rack of clothes, trying to blend in. A ridiculous sight, to be sure. The things we do for love. *Rolls eyes* =P

A big pile of garments and a couple of chidings (from Ju, cos SHE has to hang it all back) later, I proceeded to the next part of the day's shopping spree : finding decent shades for my trip to NZ. 'nett and I wandered round OU, also checking out rings when they appeared. Her ring hunting rubbed off on me and I got one for myself. Used to be averse to buying rings 'cause I thought they were always frustratingly, too big for my fingers. So technically, we both got toe rings not for wearing on our toes. Haha, it's easier too remove anyway; the band stretches apart with ease.

For the shades, we retraced our steps quite a few times before settling on the best pair between two stores. Thanks babe, for being my photographic memory. Need to work on that. Lol. Oh yeah, while thanks are still in order... Thank you, Ju, for taking all those clothes which you though I'd like to me... and for forcing me to try on those lala shorts... and for accepting my straightforward *Yuckkkkk* concerning them. Hahah.

The day ended all too soon, with a free cuppa root beer at A&W; free 'cause we had to wait for the curly fries. All too soon, because I'm not seeing my babes 'til next month and I won't be here to see anyone during Chinese New Year. Anyone, including... Ang Pau Number 1, all the way to Ang Pau Number 10 and beyond. Ahaha yeah, I'll be taking off for New Zealand on the 12th, back on 31st. I'm gonna cherish this long long vacation and after all I've heard of its bountiful natural beauty... I wouldn't mind not having ang pau's this year; just to experience that.
