Went hunting for the big, big tote bag that I've wanted the other day. Saw one that costs S$1,320. That is my ultimate dream bag, for now!! I just have a thing with big, big bag. However, the thought of having to part with some of my bonus is quite a heartache. Luckily, my birthday is round the corner, and so, I muster my courage to ask my mum to sponsor part of the cost. Before approaching her, I knew that this is going to be a tough battle. As such, I decided to just casually asked her about it, if she's going to reject me then so be it. What's most important is I tried. haha.. Anyway, shortly after I asked her, she came into my room with a red packet. Upon seeing that, my sisters and I started to think that she's just so duh, because the packet was v thin, and we were like thinking that she definitely must have put just a $10 bill inside. For your information, my mother can be extremely lame. She loves pulling jokes on us and they never fail to make my siblings and I roll our eyeballs. Thinking that this time was no exception, we started telling her how lame she is and stuff. And with a smile, she left my room. To my surprise, inside the red packet was actually a S$1,000 bill!! Hehehe.. I can buy my bag without any relunctance anymore!! Hey, this amount of windfall came at a appropriate time ya, because I lost my LV card holder at Zouk the other night. Just the cost of the LV card holder lost plus the cost of replacing my cards sum up to quite alot already.. Now I just have enough to shop for a new wallet.. Had my eyes on this Fendi wallet, and I had my eyes placed on dear's wallet as well.. for sponsoring part of my new wallet cost.. right dear? hahahaha.. It's always better to buy someone a present she loves than to buy something you dont know if a person will like ya?

I went shopping alone after work yesterday, reason being I just dont want to be home so early. I used to hate to shop alone, because I feel like people in the stores kept looking at you when you shopped alone, as though you are some kind of loner with no friends. Also, you have no one to seek opinion from when you are torn between 2 dresses and you budget only allows for one. So anyway, my resolution not to go home early manage overwhelm my self-consciousness and off I went to town for some shopping alone. Maybe because I wasnt really in a good mood to begin with, so for the very first time, people's views of me do not matter much to me. After shopping for a while, I kind of like the freedom of shopping alone. You can choose to enter and leave any store as you wish to. You can spend freely without feeling bad for you wont have friends beside you telling you how broke they are for the month etc. You also do not have to wait for your friends to take their time in the dressing room, nor do you have to take into consideration your shopping khaki's energy level. All in all, I admit that shopping alone is indeed a fun experience. I guess I'll have to do that often now.
Sometimes I wish humans are able to crave their feelings onto a stone. That way, you do not have to worry about any kind of change of feelings. Just take the stone out and look at it and that old feeling will flow into you, like it has never left you before. While change of feelings may not be necessary bad, but isnt it better if you can store that feelings somewhere and eliminate any chances of that feelings evolving into something that you have never wanted it to be in the first place? Just like how the bestest of friends can become enemies overnight, or how old couples, after staying together for decades, can gradually turn against each other due to irreconcilable differences? Afterall, prevention is still better than cure.
I've always hated changes, because I fear uncertainty. But I realised finally that being stagnant at any point in life or relationship is not a good thing. Hopefully, things will turn out to be great once again. I want more. However, I do not know if my demand for more is going to cost me my happiness. At the same time, I'm aware that if the same old problem is never going to be resolved, it's still better to let things go. Because the same problem will still come back and haunt you eventually.
I'm so, so tired. No sure if I'm making any sense either. Night.

My manager just got promoted to partner! Feel extremely happy for her. She has really got what it takes to bring her to where she is today. She shared the news with us over conference call and I reminded her to install water-heater lest she has a bathroom in her room. That so because she was joking with me the other day that I could camp in office if I find travelling so troublesome and I was whining to her that our shower doesnt have hot water!
I always wanted to be a housewife whenever the tough gets going. Somehow my manager's promotion has become a source of motivation for me. Before anyone gets mistaken that i aspire to be a partner, what I mean is, a successful woman should be able to balance between work and family. I think that it's definitely not an easy task, given the long working hours. Even during my first year as an audit associate, I hardly have time for anything else besides work, what more a family in the few years to come. However, right now, my focus would be to build on my career and hopefully the plan that I have up my sleeve is going to work out great.

Been real happy! Everything has been going smoothly for me ever since I started work. Nonetheless, where there's up, there's bound to be downs. Hehe.. I know there's a mountain high worth of work awaiting for me the moment I return to the "city that never sleeps".
First week of work has been relatively slack, playing assistant cum secretary to my assistant manager-going-to-be-manager come July who proves to be a real funny-ball. He makes me laugh with the things that he said. He's so nice that I feel that I'm the one who's been bullying him. :X Anyway, been shopping after work lately and the it feels good man! I like the feeling of spending on something without having to worry about anything. Blew quite a sum of money at Forever 21 and Topshop. Both are my favourite shopping haunts! AND, the real exciting thing is, I spent enough on Topshop that day for me to become their member! I totally love, love, love clothes from there! Membership at Forever 21 would be perfect though. So guys, next time if you want to shop at Topshop, u can come to me for the discount card! I got the membership just in time for me to enjoy a 20% discount for my birthday month too!! Yeah~
Ever since the good piece of news at work on Friday, I'm really very thankful for everything that's happening around me. I guess the piece of good news have indeed come at an appropriate time. It has snapped me out of my sian-ness the day I started work after 2 months of leave. Suddenly, I cant wait to get going again. Sometimes, I feel that I'm a bit perverted, but honestly, I kind of like the rush of adrelina when I have to meet a deadline or bump into a challenge. It makes me feel that I work for a purpose. Perhaps, that's some kind of self-satisfaction that I derived from my work. This makes me recall what my manager told me the other day ,"Humans are amzing creatures. No matter how something always seem impossible at some point in time, we somehow always manage to find a way out to resolve it." How true.
Congrats to my sister for achieving her first class honours. Though I know she's earning much more than me when I first started out, I feel proud of her. Happy too because there's someone to share all the birthday treats for my parents finally. hahaha..
Oh, the GST credits are in! Just in time to provide me with some float for my extravagant spending this month. Went shopping with dearie yesterday and I practically bought something from every shop that I went into. The worst thing is I dont feel like I've shopped enough!!
