lesson #259: retail therapy works everytime

Have been so preoccupied with projects that I feel like I'm neglecting my social life. I'm not sure which project is worst, the only thing I know is I'm stuck with 3 projects and all three of them suck. Or maybe I just have a defeatist mentality. I seriously am not confident of scoring well this term. I can't wait to schedule a lunch meeting with Zhi, and have a chill-out session with Syd and Jess. It's time for me to feel human again.

And I really need to bug my friend about my MAC order, as it was made eons ago and til now, I've seen neither head nor tail of my beloved MAC stuff. The worst thing is I have to hold off buying my favourite shade of Biotherm lipstick even though it is now desperately running out, because I included a lipstick in my MAC order, and so if I replenish my stock of that Biotherm shade, I'd have two new lipsticks which are really more than enough. Gotta save money as I still need to find a high-shine non-sticky lipgloss.

After a gruelling project meeting just now (and I will have two more meetings tomorrow - on a Sunday Morning. This is the life, man. Frick it!) G and I went Plaza Singapura-ing. Bought Syd's satin pants for $8, a right bargain (bought the golden brown shade so no worries babe, we won't have TWO identical pants). Thinking of it, it's weird that Syd bought something that I bought first when shopping with her, and now I bought something that Syd bought when she shopped with me.

Also bought a racerback top (yes! Another 'un!) from Ebase for $17.60, after 20% discount. It's white-ish with bold green zebra stripes. It really looks nicer than it sounds. Also had the seal of approval from Mr G. Though I wouldn't trust Mr G's taste completely...

Have been taking quite a number of pictures recently. Will try to upload them soon and show the world narcissistic shots of my Beautiful Brows (self-plucked) (plucked by yours truly using a pair of tweezers) (a nice DIY plucking job) (I plucked them, y'all!).

On a completely separate note, have written a sad prose for some creative writing competition held by CCTE. Haven't sent it in yet, as I'm not overly enthusiastic about the prizes they are giving out. It's more a case of me writing it for fun (Vera's advice). Maybe I'll post it up here some time. It may be pretty shocking though. The kind of stuff that pregnant ladies, elderly people, and those with heart problems should not be seeing.
