with my busy schedule, i haven't had a chance to really meet up with friends or pamper myself..

and so, with the national day and syog over (let's not talk about the upcoming events), i have some time to browse through the internet and window-shop (i had not bought any of those seen YET!) :D

1)Iphone Casing

since i got my iphone, i had been buying lots of hp casings with my latest edition of:


but my most loved casing is still:


I still intend to buy some more, when there's new additions.. at the moment, i am putting a ban on myself for iphone casings.. cos I already have 6 iphone casings, not to mention the number of times i went to do gmask for my phone.. =X

2) Cameras

well, those who saw my fb album know that i have a thing for toy cameras (you may read abt my collection here).

well, i haven't been buying any since my last edition of:


now my hands are itching for new toy cameras again.. and i saw quite a few online yesterday.. ain't sure which one to get though cos I haven't really research on them..

so now i am going to stock up films instead for my Polaroid cameras..

intend to get these few:


gonna cost a bomb for these, which would be about $70 or more.. (-__-||)

so i am still contemplating.. may eliminate a few.. haha

other than these, i am also browsing for clothes for myself, clothes for buttons and rach, wigs etc..

haha.. yup.. i am also into wigs.. i have:

1. a long hair wig
2. a short hair wig
3. 1 choco kawaii fringe wig
4. 1 black sweet fringe wig
5. 1 hair bun..
   

well.. i love the fringe best.. cos it's easy to wear and natural.. the bun is harder to deal with, partly because my hair isn't that long and it's layered.. hard to keep it neat.. haha..

wore the fringe to Jay's concert last month, from long fringe to short:


looks natural doesn't it? the only downside was the shade..

i bought a choco shade and it was too light for my hair. Thus, i bought a second one which is black..

haven't try it though, considering i never go out for the past month.. haha..

may try it on next month when i have a chance to go out!




well.. i wonder is it due to my age or my work nature, i prefer staying at home than going out.. watching dramas, playing fb.. or just lie on bed and enjoy the silence..

still go out once in a while, still love dolling up.. but it's a different like.. this kind of like is more of an appreciation rather than .. i can't find the word for it.. play? attention?

walking along the streets, i appreciate the safe country that allows us to walk anywhere we like.. the stretch of Orchard Road with tons and tons of things to buy.. friends and family to chit chat with.. and more..

didn't really appreciate those in the past.. maybe cos i was still young, took things for granted.. but now, after i had seen the different side of the country, the efforts made to have what we have now.. i deeply appreciates it.. of cos, there's always room for improvement.. but at the moment, we ain't that bad.. don't you think so? =)

When you are in trouble, people who call to sympathize are really looking for the particulars.

finally finished my blog layout.. after almost 2 months i guess?

unlike the last layout, my profile and links aren't shown outright.. you gotta click the 4 icons to navigate:



well, not entirely complete cos there are still things i wish to add but not sure where to.. lol..

for now, i hope this new layout doesnt look emo anymore!

Browsing through FB and saw this post by a girl friend..

to all the girls out there:

我知道妳很好，但是妳可以不必那麼偉大

by Sheron Lee

請注意，即使妳無時無刻都告訴自己「愛情是信任」，妳相信他真的有多愛妳，妳真的認為這一切都是妳想太多，妳真不應該無理取鬧。妳要尊重他，尊重他的隱 私，尊重他的前女友，尊重他的女性朋友，尊重那些莫名其妙的電話、簡訊、郵件、邀約，尊重他也擁有個人自由、憲法保障的人權、人生而平等的自由，與他所謂 的空間，那麼，我想請問妳，這位愛裝大方的女人：「當妳尊重了別人，別人有尊重過妳嗎？」

如果他真的夠尊重你，覺得妳真的夠重要，為什麼寧可要妳委屈難過猜疑不安，也不願意犧牲那些前女友、那些女人，來讓一個他口中所謂真正愛的女人覺得心安？

如果他真的夠愛妳，為什麼他寧可跟那些他口中所謂不愛、不喜歡的女人維持讓妳不舒服的關係，而不願意讓妳感覺舒服？

如果他真的覺得妳很重要，又何必浪費時間精力去維繫那些他口中所謂不那麼重要的友誼？

親愛的，我們都曾經試著當一個好女人，當一個自認為很大方的好女人，但是上帝有曾告訴過我們，身為好女人就一定上的了天堂，當一個裝大方的女人就 能永遠幸福快樂嗎？還是這個社會告訴我們，當個好女人一定有善報，只要我們願意裝大方釋出善意，那些壞女人就不會欺負我們？或者是我們的人生經驗告訴我 們，當一個好女人一定比較爽快，沒事裝裝大方就會活的比較痛快？

如果不是，那麼，請立刻清醒。

我知道，妳心地善良，心胸寬大，成熟明事理，妳覺得自己不再是小女生，不應該整天哭哭啼啼愛靠夭愛懷疑愛亂想，妳知道要有一段健康的感情，妳必須懂得信任與尊重，妳當然曉得妳的男友很愛妳，只是因為他太好，所以那些蒼蠅女人會喜歡他。

但是妳並不知道，當妳試著相信他前女友真的只把他當朋友，他們後來就真的不只是朋友。他真的只是好心體貼接送那些女生，但後來就只會更加好心體貼 接送她回來。他真的只是跟前前女友吃飯聊天，後來就一定不只是吃飯聊天。他只是收到簡訊接到電話，但後來就不只簡訊和電話。不要問我為什麼知道，學校沒有 教，報紙沒有寫，至少妳一定有聽過、看過，不然也用膝蓋想過。這樣的社會案件層不出窮，信任即使說的冠冕堂皇，它還是脆弱的不堪一擊。

妳又如何可以說服自己、委屈自己、隱藏自己，而去做一個裝大方的女人？

這些年來，感情路上走過來的感觸，我真的希望有些道理不需要浪費妳的光陰最後才明瞭。所以親愛的，請記得無時無刻正視自己的需求。如果任何一個人、一段感情必須讓妳委曲求全、漠視自己的需求、隱藏自己的不快，那麼請相信，那絕對不是妳的真愛。

我知道妳很好，但是妳可以不必那麼偉大。

妳不用做個小氣的女人，妳也不用在男人面前裝作是個大方的女人。任何一段有益身心的感情應該讓妳更愛自己，讓自己更快樂，變的更好。而不是讓你忘了自己的需要，去訂做成一個他需要的、完美的女人。

如果連妳都不尊重自己，妳還希望別人如何尊重妳？

如果連妳都不愛自己了，妳又怎麼能奢望別人能愛妳？

更重要的是，若他真的夠愛妳，

他第一個該尊重的，應該是「妳」。

(NOTE: the below post has nothing to do with my personal life.. and nope, i am not being emo when i was writing the entry.. it's just random)



sometimes i wonder.. what does it mean to be a couple? just holding hands, hang out? or is there more?

why do you want to be with a particular someone?

for companionship?

for fun?

for all the intimate things that you can do together?

or is it for love?


when you lose someone, you felt the heartache, you cried, felt empty etc etc.. is it cos you still love him/her or cos you dont wish to be the one losing?

is it because you are too used to having that particular person or because you can't stand loneliness?


how would you know?

seriously, i have no answer to that..

i used to think that people get together because of love and break up because there's no more love..

but as i grow older, i realise that's not true..

there's so much more to consider than just feelings..

there's 1001 reasons to be together and 1001 to break up..


for whatever reason, i hope it's worth it..

cos sometimes, once you lose it, you lose it forever..

so grab hold tight to the one you feel is worth fighting for..
