aww mans.. its been soooo long since i last blogged! im forgetting how to go about it alr! haha... but alrighty, since you requested, mel, i'll comply and put up a post! yesyes, go on, feel honoured! haha...
i had my second practical driving lesson yesterday... and i think im getting the hang of it! haha.. besides the time when the instructor asked me to change to gear 3 for the first time and i kinda freaked out and the car kinda started weaving about, everything else went quite smoothly! though i suspect i may be a little cock-eyed.. cos i keep coming too close to the marking on the right and the instructor has to keep yanking the steering wheel back towards himself... i'm going on the road in my next lesson! i hope i dont kill anyone, myself included...
after that i was supposed to meet simin in orchard to buy presents for my dahlings; hon and suyi. but i was supposed to meet her at 550pm and driving ended at 2pm!! dotz... so being the bookworm that i am, i stalked out at the jurong regional library. and i landed my hands on a book about dentistry! too bad its a reference book so i cant borrow it out... anw im not as studious as i make myself out to be.. i nearly made it past page 9 when i started to doze off.. i was only revived when i decided to take a break and indulge in Are We An "Us"? a #4 in the Zits Collection of Comics. hahaha.. so much for trying to act smart..
then i took a 198 back to school to collect my testimonial.. a HUGE thanks to Mr Wong for taking time to do it up.
after which i headed to orchard but i was still too early. so i went to Popular and hung around the best new sellers section. if i were the sercurity guard watching the closeups on the cctv i would have been highly suspicious of myself... a girl loitering around for close to half and hour, picking up book after book and reading the back of these books then putting them down again, with no intention to buy whatsoever. anw i didnt get chased away so who cares! im telling you, the next time i go into a bookstore i will be fully prepared and armed with a pen and a notebook.. what for, you ask? to copy down the titles of the books i want to read.. i mean. there's just too many of them!! i've not enough money or space to bring them all home, as much as i want to. besides, some of these so called adult books write explicitly about sex and i dont really want to go that far. back to the point, the book that made the most impression on me was Wish Upon A Star by Tina Reilly, so im currently trying to get my hands on one.
to round off this post, let me announce to the world that i spent a whopping 143 bucks yst; not including the $7.5o i spent on dinner. boy am i broke... i cant elaborate much, since the $103 involves the stuff im gonna give to my dahlings.. but i have to share my joy about the item i bought at esprit... hoho.. when i went to esprit on 2nd march a sweater caught my eye.. but at 89.90, it was too bloody expensive. luckily for me, it was on a 30% discount; and the pink one i liked came in my size. so i decided to just go with it. then when i was about to pay, i noticed that there was a defect in it.. a small one, but a defect nonetheless.. and it was the only piece left; even the other outlets didnt have it anymore... sobs! as i really liked it, i decided to just push my luck and asked the cashier if i could get it at a cheaper price (something i learnt from my customer service jobs)... she was like "ok... i'll help you check." then she was like pressing and pressing the buttons on the system... "ok, how about this, i can give you another 20% off, on top of the 30%." i was like WHAT!!!!! hahaha.... i thought she was gonna give me like another $2 off, not 20%! so i was like "hmm.. ok lor." haha! what a steal! besides, the defect is really kind small, as in the not visible sort of small.. at most i'll just buy an iron-on motif to hide it.. and now that its already damaged i wont be afraid to use it anymore.. i got my sweater at half price!!! muax. i love my life! haha..

mans i realise i have no idea what the technical terms are for each part of a book.. i mean i know there's a book jacket.. but there should be more than that right?? gosh. call myself a self-professed bookworm..

p.s. simin said ur new urban male bag was really nice hon! big, but nice.

where is the him that i’m looking for… |3:02 pm|
