Of bags.


Thursday, January 08, 2009

You often see me blogging about either bags, or undies.

Today, it's bags!!!! How can a girl live without bags????

I just realised that an entry I posted a week plus ago about my dreams isn't showing and not under draft as well! I am VERY sure that it was published. What happened????

Remember I said that I wanted a nice black working bag for 2009? I think I'm 60% close to attaining that. I can only say that I have ALL THE BAG LUCK! Despite giving up on the following:


Coach Madison Leather Sabrina in baby pink. It is SO PRETTY and so works for those of us who cannot afford a Prada! And it definitely has NONE of that cheapo Coach feel! I've already paraded with it umpteen times in the store. 大便's sis was flying NY and asked me if I wanted it and I said a heart wrenching NO. Despite it being much much much cheaper!!! Who who've guessed, right after the so called difficult decision yesterday, I died in the hands of Loewe... Once it is confirmed, I'll post pictures of my grinny face with the bag... It is like a dream come true... a classic black working bag!!!! I am soooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bag is under my desk now and I am DYING TO USE IT. The mythical Loewe logo was something I gradually fell in love with in 2008.

Was browsing the Coach webbie to get the above pict when I also saw this:

Lovely! So barbie!!! Was with Reen at OG the other day, we saw this Paris Hilton line of handbags and it's so pinky and checkered... but we wonder if it's authentic Paris Hilton merchandise?? The quality seems abit off to be branded as 'Paris Hilton'.


This is the suede version of what (I hope) I will be getting, and I'm sure you agree that it looks amazing!! But all you bag lovers out there would agree how difficult it is to maintain suede merchandise. Yes the suede one looks better than the one tone one... but no $$$, no talk. Think of the house, and, the upcoming expenditures...

But to think I also bought the bag which I thought I gave up on, when I was at Raffles City with Ivy last week! IT's fated!!!!! It was STILL THERE, on discount somemore!!! Either the bag is really DAMN UGLY that no one wants, or, I'm simply lucky.

I am feeling so broke and guilty AND disgusted at my underwear and bag spending habits. Oh, and I forgot to mention, minature toys too?

I would like to have a pretty corner for our toys (ZQ keeps Gundams and transformers) and another corner for my packaging and another corner for my bags and a pretty BIG area in my wardrobe for the undies! But, the problem is HOW I am going to get so many corners.

And I wish I can invest in a BEAUTIFUL English tea set which I will use to serve all my besties who come to my place, first person being Krist!!! And she can finally drink in style with her last finger up!!! Hahahahahahahahahah

OMG, the moment I think about these tea sets, I... I... I CAN'T BREATHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Pictures from the Net)







So damn nice right???????????????????

And beneath it all (my happy face and voice), we have an AWFULLY big prob concerning my Dad and I was tossing and turning in bed thinking about the issue, and praying hard.

But I don't think some things are up to me to control or decide.

This is all like a huge joke up there's playing on us, but mainly on my Dad. Life isn't 100% fair but life would certainly still give you back what you did (sometimes, double) - we are seeing it now and it is scary. I'm not giving all of my heart now and I know one day I'm going to get the karma, but I can only say, 不是每个人都那么好心,那么伟大。I admit it.

Why am I behaving like that? Am I immuned to shit occuring? Or am I simply a fucked up person?

I'm on leave tomorrow... after a tormenting month of having no more leave left for 2008, 2009 is here with a fresh 14 days and additional day of anniversary leave!!! Will be going to CGH to see Dad with Mum and then maybe have a quiet lunch with her. Wanna do something to my hair because it is in a TERRIBLE STATE. I've been tolerating that hair for months and I've given up. It's dry, shapeless, and pong! It's not a matter of whether I want to do anything to it... it's a matter of WHEN I should! I basically look more like shit as the days go by.

I didn't really make a big list of resolutions for this years, except for something that is played in my head every single day - that is, to be EARLY for work (and keep that habit)! I've had it with reaching 10 minutes late and letting myself down and being looked down by every other soul! It feels good to reach 10 mins earlier, not later!

It is the 8th day into 2009, and I've screwed up for a few days already (reaching at 9:05, 9:12am etc). I better buck up! There is no such thing as 'too late' for amendments!

What other resolutions, you might wonder? What's new, but, being more positive, more generous, less naggy and less emotional. To learn to save more and cut down on unneccessary indulgence in terms of food and material goods (the top part of this entry already shows a huge failure).

But frankly to me... life is too short to deprive yourself of a pretty bag, IF you are the sort who likes bags. Everyone's born different. Some-one without any interest in bags and packaging would not spend $$$ on those things and would deem it as a waste. It is because they are like that, that they can make this kinda comments. Not buying the bag wouldn't have much impact on that person - it won't bother them like how it would bother people like me.

While tossing and turning in bed: "How...... what if it's sold out tomorrow?"

While walking to work: "I won't find any bag in this style that I like soooo much!!! If I miss this chance I will totally regret and that feeling of regret sucks!!!"

While queuing up for food: "It's on sale and only few pieces left... arghh!!!"

Something like that. I'll be tormented non-stop.

SO MUCH FOR SELF-CONSOLATION! I love to do that. I self-console myself for TOO MANY THINGS that I've lost count!

And so, presenting to you, my (tentative) list for 2009:

1. Being early or at least on time for work
2. Finishing work quickly and proactively and do not letting shit from work affect my mood'
3. Spending more time with my family, loved ones and friends
4. Being 'generous' - not getting upset over small matters and learning to give more, even if it means losing out (but not too much!!!)
5. But then, being more assertive if need requires (to people who don't deserve kindness)
6. Learning to save more for the sake of my wedding and house!
7. Stop being so lazy in dressing and making up
8. Stop keeping each and every piece of junk (our collection is growing uncontrollably)
9. Going on another 'budget' trip with all of my fav girls
10. Exercising more and joining more marathons!
[the list would really go on, but the above are the mains!]


And I would like to share all of the BAD STUFF I DID LAST YEAR! OMG, reflections time
1. Having very little exercise and being filled with excuses
2. Drinking too much ppc and even Jollybean soya milk I add bubbles (WTF!! Yvonne, is it Yvonne??) But side track abit, Jollybean's bubbles are the nicest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. Drinking too much coffee (no thanks to my weekend colleagues!!)
4. Being calculative with my family sometimes (oh no, I promise to change)
5. Not pampering my Mum enough
6. totally ignoring Geraldine though she pisses me off. 怎么说她也是我的长辈...~
7. Not visiting grams enough (I could do better)
8. Being highly demanding to ZQ and insisting it's never my fault (I need to reflect!!)
9. Dressing shabbily and 'saving' on makeup
10. Having excuses for every damn thing
11. Doing too much housework
12. Buying so many unneccessary things
13. Losing my temper too easily
And there's so much more~!~ *Ashamed*


Have you done the above relections list? Try it and you'll be godammmmmmm surprised!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much for this entry!!! Kisses!!!
