My first online purchase:

Here it is:

I am very pleased with their service. I transferred the required amount to their banking account on Tuesday, and I got my dress by Saturday. It was delivered to my home address, is in perfect condition and even has a double layered inner linings, as promised in the description of this dress on their website. Coolx. Only thing that I am not very happy with is the length of the dress. It is too short. I can only blame myself because I already knew the measurement of the dress before I placed the order. Anyway, it will only be too short for work.

Man, I think I am very a bit addicted to their dresses. I just placed another order for one of these:

Okay okay, I know you want to scream at me for spending my last cent on dresses. Even if you dont want to scream at me, I want to scream at myself. So can someone save me from this? Save me by buying the dresses for me. Nono, kidding. Sigh, I think I am quite lame on Sunday evenings. Anyway, the dresses are pretty cheap and I still dont get how they can get such cheap stuff.

The one I just ordered, is the black dress set. It is actually a sleeveless dress and comes with a jacket. So what you see in each picture belong to a set. You can wear the dress with or without the jacket. It looks like a one-piece dress even when you are wearing the jacket. There are four different colours, namely, grey, white, black and beige. Actually, I like the grey one most, but I dont look good in grey.

… and it is just another unhappy week that will be added to my many unhappy weeks. Well, it really started off well on Saturday morning when I was at my little Saturday shopping spree. Before Saturday was crap, and I was actually naive enough to think that things could turn out for the better on a crap week’s weekend, but I should have known better.

Okay, enough of shxx.

Anyway, my little Saturday shopping spree was done at a few malls in the Central Business District area. It was a Saturday, and I was expecting the shops in the malls to stay open for half a day, and the crowd to come in at around lunch-time or after. I was right about the opening hours of the shops but there was no crowd at all, not even after lunch-time. I guess nobody (other than those in the service-line) really works on Saturday anymore! I love the missing crowd and the ‘exclusive’ items that are sold in the shops there. I found this nice dress shop with weekly imports from Hong Kong. Great! The materials used in their dresses are really worth something; they are thicker and seem of a better quality. All the dresses are double-layered, and I have not seen them anywhere in the shops of those Big Shopping Malls Where The Whole Of SG Seem To Be At (BSMWTWOSGSTBA, manz have you ever seen such a long and useless acronym?). Anyway, I bought 2 dresses from there. Hee. I will go there more often, now that I know where it is. It is a small shop and the service is really good. The salesgirl is really friendly, and she says no “NO”. The shop seems to have all sizes and new pieces available for most of their items, which is something I really like about. I hate it when a shop only has a piece of each item. I know many called that a small business, and if you buy something from a shop that only carries a piece of each item, there is lower chance that you will find someone wearing something you have. But it still sounds pathetic.

Then, I went to a shop called SouthHaven. It has outlets in those BSMWTWOSGSTBA. I was not really interested in browsing the shop, because I did not see a point in doing so. I have visited their other outlets in some BSMWTWOSGSTBA, and I do not really like their stuff. Most of their items are priced at a reasonably affordable prices and their materials are considerably better than others’ but their designs just do not look good on me, and I do not blame them. But I was thinking, nothing to lose from just browsing since there are not many shops left for me to browse. So, in I went and immediately spotted a few nice stuff which I tried and yes, I was right in the first place, they do not suit me. In the end, I settled for a skirt and they got me a new piece which came from inside a plastic bag that had been underneath some stack of stock. The new skirt was all wrinkled and I asked if they could iron out all the deep wrinkle lines for me using their steam-iron. The lady told me that there are only two of them (she and another salesgirl) in the shop and they do not have time to do that on that day, and that if I want them to steam-iron my skirt, I will only be able to collect my skirt on Monday, earliest. I was very amused because there was no other customer in the shop at that time and the two of them were just hanging standing around, but I was reasonable. I told them that I do not mind collecting it at a later time of the day since I will be shopping around there. I told them that Monday is out for me because I do not work there and I am not going to the Central Business District on a Monday! She insisted that the two of them would not be able to handle the shop if one of them is steam-ironing my skirt. So I told them that I will just buy the skirt from the outlet at Bugis, one of the BSMWTWOSGSTBA since I am going there later, and guess what? She said, “Okay, let me start the steam-iron. You may come back in an hour’s time to collect your skirt.” I feel like giving her a slap on her face kick in her hair.

Next, I bought a…

… Hello Kitty plate and a set of matching fork and spoon!!!

There is a Hello Kitty shop in the Central Business District area! Can you believe it? They have so many nice Hello Kitty stuff and I almost bought the Hello Kitty bedsheet, the Hello Kitty floormat, the Hello Kitty thermo-flask, the Hello Kitty umbrella, and 1000 other Hello Kitty items. After some consideration, I decided to buy only the above three items. When I was looking at the Hello Kitty cutleries on the shelf, I did not notice that the matching forks and spoons also come in kiddo-sized. I took a pair of the normal-sized ones and when I was paying at the counter, something close to catastrophic happened.

Salesboy: Are you buying these for yourself?

Me: Why do you ask?

Salesboy: ‘cos you didnt take the smaller fork and spoon.

Me: -_-

Stop assuming things, ok!?! Hee. After that, I decided that it is about time I have some lunch and almost instantly, I saw this Chinese eating place called Bao Jin Tian, written in Chinese characters. Under the Chinese characters, it says, Bao Today. HAHAHAHA!!! I nearly laughed out loud. Okay, maybe I did. I just could not control myself from being super amused. That is so nonsense! Anyway, I went in to have dumpling and char-siew noodles. Nice!

After lunch, I went to SouthHaven to collect my skirt, and then headed for Bugis to get stockings and more purple nail polish. Such a fulfilling shopping spree!

And then all went downhill…

Hover your cursor over each picture for the answers!

These are pictures of ionian islands, dodecanese islands, and santorini. I want to go there!!

Dead tired. Okay, I know I am not the only one who is dead tired but seriously, I am dead tired. I am saying that I dislike my work, or the people at my work, or even the many, many bloody heavy doors that I have to push or pull to open to get from one building to another at least 3 times a day. Since the start of this semester, I have to be in school by 8AM almost every morning as some kind of a stand-by for morning classes even when I dont have a morning class. The traveling time from home to work is about 20 mins but because of the heavy traffic condition during peak hours, I have to leave home way before 8AM to avoid traffic jams. That means that I have to wake up at 5-6AM every morning. Argh. I have to try to sleep earlier to better my life.

Dead back. These days, my back hurts big time. I dont know why but I think I am either getting old or, getting old. I dont feel comfortable lying down, sitting up, or standing straight. I think I really have problem standing straight. I enjoy most when I am hunching, but I cant hunch for the rest of my life. Sigh. I desperately need a change of mattress and laptop desk.

To make life worse than it already is, there seems to be a problem with some script on my blog and blog-admin. It keeps giving me a “problem running a script” message, and the downloading time is AGES. I dont even want to know about the uploading time. I feel ill just waiting for everything to load. Can someone tell me what I should do? Or is there something I can do? Or can someone just do something about this bloody script?

I wrote the last paragraph when I was waiting for the bloody WRITE POST page to load, and at this moment and probably for the next three years, I am and will STILL be waiting for the WRITE POST page to load. I am really, really getting so tired of this. Shit happens. Even here.

It’s a GOLD-coloured Nintendo!!! I want it so badly!!! I really hope that it is still available here. I dont want to settle for any other colour!! 

Just the other day, I asked the salesman at Nokia store about this…

…and guess what? He told me that Nokia has stopped production for the Gold Edition of Nokia 8800!!! I want this so badly too.

Do you sometimes feel like disappearing to somewhere faraway with all your beloved and staying there for a good period of time?

I feel like doing exactly that now! Ever since last week, I have been on auto-pilot with my life. I went to school in the day and busied myself with all the mini-tasks. I actually enjoy doing those tasks, but I hate evenings. Every evening, I go home and begin the most boring part of my life. Imagine having to experience the most boring part of your life every evening. It doesnt get any better with each passing day. Weekends? Well, I have had better weekends. It’s like, no, this is not the life I want. I want to flee from it. Every other minute, I feel very ashamed of myself for even considering this, and I know that I am disappointing many with this decision of mine, but I am also not staying put to please anyone.

Long story short, my escapade goes like this: I will pack all my beloved into my car, and drive through MY, TH and finally CH. I hope I will be able to find something or someone I like along the way.

The most valuable beloved I have now, is my car. Second is my laptop. Third is all my cuties! So this is how all my beloved will be packed into my car:

1. Hello Kitty x 2 will go to the backseat of my car. The position of how each of them will be placed has not been determined yet. I may let one or even both of them sit looking down or lie facing up.

2. Laptop and the power adapter will go the floor of the back of my car. I will not take my mouse with me and I must be careful not to take the wrong power adapter.

3. Penguin, Melo, Turt and Miffy will go to the front pasenger seat of my car. There are few others but I guess they will not be going. It really depends on my mood. I have a life-sized Elmo in my wardrobe. I dont think he is going too. He is just too big and too heavy. Call me bias because each of my Hello Kitty is at least 1.5 times bigger than Elmo, and both of them are going. Sorry Elmo.

4. Jacket x 2 will go to the floor of the front passenger seat of my car. I may wear one of them, the one from Esprit. The other one, which is a pink Adidas, will be left lying around in case I am robbed at gunpoint for a jacket.

5. Flip-flops x 1 will be on my feet. I dont know if I should take an extra pair of footwear. What do you think? A pair of sneakers?

6. White skirt x 2 will go to the backseat of my car. I may wear one of them, the one from Mango. The other one, which is from Billabong, still has a bit of a stain, but because I spent so much time and effort to remove the stain, I am not going to leave it lying around at home when I am gone.

7. Sandra Brown book x 4 will go to the boot of my car. I may leave one, the one I am reading right now, in the dashboard compartment.

8. … (to be continued)

I am freaking tired.
