FIRST SNY- HKG

And so, my virgin work-trip to HKG was good.
In order to dress appropriately for Lan Kwai Fong on Friday night and a nice dinner on Saturday, Jeanette and I brought covered-front-kitten-heels. But before dinner on Saturday, our feet were killing us.

Fortunately, the flat shoes I bought came in handy. There were SO many cheap and nice shoes in Mongkok (comparable to the 199baht-drive-me-crazy shoes in BKK), but lessons learnt: no more cheap heels for me.

The boy is on his way to Malaysia for a 5 days competition. I'm gonna miss him dearly but at least this time I won't stay home and go bonkers; I better get used to this.

Auckland tomorrow, and back on Friday.

OH NO, ITS SHOES FETISH AGAIN

After spoiling two shoes in less than a month, Mum and Grandma strongly insist that I stop buying cheap shoes. So, my new shopping resolutions:
1. Never to buy cheap shoes again.
2. Never buy fake leather.
3. Buy flats because of the nature of my job.

I happily dragged shopping-phobia Michael to shop on Saturday to buy a replacement pair for my white flats. And shit, I bought another pair of cheap shoes which is NOT white. Then, on Sunday, I bought three pairs of not-cheap heels. I hope hope hope Mum is wrong- that it's the way I walk that kills my shoes :(

Off to HK for the weekend!

THE PERFECT WEEKEND

Mum has been nagging at my influx of clothes for the longest time. I threw some, gave some away but they are still piling up in her cupboard and in bro's. When my cupboard denied further entry, my bags had to migrate downstairs to make space. Now that even those drawers are filled, squashed, overloaded and has a closing problem, I just had to go Ikea.

Now, my new wardrobe is sitting nicely near the stairway (my room has no more space for storage) and my bar fridge is also happily sitting on a new and improvised drawer-cupboard for the alcohol.

The boy stayed over on Fri and spent the entire Sat doing miscellaneous stuff with/for the family and me, including fixing up the bloody wardrobe and I totally forgot to open the window for air. And, he lunched with the family again today. He is so damn good.

The next best thing; I just got my wonderful advanced 21st birthday present from Mummy. And, another two more are gonna be hand-picked by me. Yay; diamonds are women's best friends.

The third best thing, I managed to strike off every single thing on my To-Do list. This list has been accumulating for these two busy weeks!

Two days is waaayy too short. It's exams (again for the 10569687231th) for the next two days.

THIS BOY IS SPECIAL

It's been way too long since I'm in a proper, decent relationship.

Though everything has been increasingly good, I suspect the duration will fall short of our expectations and talks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed; intertwined and nailed, if it helps.

Perhaps the obstacles are too hard for him to cross. Or perhaps, our overwhelming feelings are proving slightly detrimental. I'm falling too deep too soon.

I'm dreading August already.

I hope its just my PMS being triggered.
