lesson #84: where to buy a packet of creative juice?

Almost forgot about Finance mid-term earlier today. So many things have happened! The mid-term MCQ questions looked really hard at first. I guess that ought to teach me not to take things so easily next time.


The more interesting part of the day started at Bugis Village. G brought me there. It was kind of hot and I was just silently melting but my eyes did spy a lot of nice things. Or at least things which look nice from afar but when you come closer they turn BLAH. I managed to buy two mini miniskirts for $10 each, though. One is pink with translucent flowery layers. The other one is brownish, also with flowery patterns. I can't bend when I wear them or else there'll be some peek-a-boo action. But still. They look great. (I also tried on a black L-sized skirt which fitted me snugly. L-sized! I can't be that fat. Honestly, whose sizes are they? Some starved children in Borovia?)


Afterwards, we went to the much better air-conditioned Bugis Junction, and found me a new schoolbag. At first I was going to pay for a pink, half-shiny half-suede shoulder bag. But at the last minute I glimpsed the stripey shoulder bag which G had spotted earlier on, but which I neglected to pay attention to. Changed my mind and chose to get the stripey one instead. And G paid for it as a Valentine's day present for me! So cool. Also snapped up two pairs of dangly earrings, one pinkish and one reddish, and faced some problems when I went up to pay for them. The cashier screwed up my transaction and I had to enter my PIN number twice, despite my seeing with my own eyes the word 'APPROVED' after I keyed in the numbers the first time round. Made some noise and wasted a lot of time. Kinda crappy but it turned out okay in the end. Still, we shouldn't have had to waste so much time there.


Our next stop was Art Friend at Bras Basah. There are so many nice artsy-fartsy stuff there! They have all these wooden hinged boxes that are just oh-so-cute. They sell nail arts, henna tattoos, and glittery fabric paint. They sell rolls of silk as well! We went there to get inspirations for our individual CT assignments. I've made up my mind on what project to embark on, and need to rush to buy the materials required tomorrow. Ugh. I really hate CT sometimes. At other times, I simply loathe it.


N contacted me on MSN earlier this evening. I read his blog for the first time today and got pretty nostalgic when I absorbed his first entry. But still, we all have to move on. N is still sad and dwelling on the past. I wish there's something I could do to make it all better for him, but there isn't. I'm just hoping that he'll be able to let go soon, 'cos I don't want it to affect him so much. He's got so many things going for him if only he would open his eyes and see.
