Mood: Stoic
Song: Diana DeGarmo - Emotional

My mom just bought 2 of Jay Chou's albums, "Qi Li Xiang" and "Ye Hui Mei"! OMG! How hip is that? LOL. Was quite shocked when she told me to put it on the stereo for her. Haha... I think she started liking Jay after Sly sang "An Jing" at the S'pore Idol finals. Hmmm... I shall cease to comment. After all, ain't it cool that your mom shares your taste in music? Pity the 2 albums do not have "An Jing" though. Maybe I should get the correct album with the song in it for her. Haha... Which reminds me, my Destiny's Child "Survivor" album from 2001 is still somewhere in her office. I think she forgot to return it to me after borrowing it, which was 3 years ago??! OMG.

Went Queensway today to do bag shopping, and at last my efforts have been rewarded! Yay! Got a mini duffel bag (and obviously not army green!) which I think is quite cool. Oh, it's brown in colour. Min got the same bag (after heavy persuasion and her inability to not succumb to temptation) in white. And the price is quite economical too, which is wonderful, leaving no holes in my wallet. Thank God.

Some shop assistant tried to cheat me today. Urgh. Was in this apparel shop looking at the tees and the guy was like telling me, "Oh, these (gesturing to a rack of tees) are from Hong Kong, and these (another rack) are from Korea."

I picked up a tee from the supposed rack of tees to be from HK, and saw "Made in Thailand" printed proudly on the label. Like haha... I just casually replied, "But it says 'Made in Thailand' here."

He was naturally speechless.

But in the end, I don't know what came over me, I bought one of the $19.90 "made in Thailand" tees, and almost immediately regretted it. Reason? I have a sneaking suspicion that it will shrink after washing. I have had bad experience from "made in Thailand" tees before, and I am quite sure that this particular maroon tee that I bought will suffer the same inevitable fate. Oh well. I can't possibly go back and request for a refund. So I shall live with my bad decisions.

Speaking of bad decisions, I also don't know what came over me at the start of last semester when I rejected a hall offer. Reason at that time? I didn't want to live with strangers. But yet, ironically, I submitted my name for the ad-hoc applications last week. I think I have had enough of long journeys in squeezy train carriages. But well, fate was not kind, and I didn't get it. Actually I sorta expected it, as there were like millions applying, and the vacancies were like three or four per hall. I never had a history of being lucky.

But then, my "insignificant" schoolmate (she said it, not me!) got it!!!! Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!! Why is she so lucky??! Damn... I should get her to pick 4D and Toto numbers for me, and I will be a millionaire next week! That way, I can easily purchase one of the apartments near school, and never be bothered about distance for the next few semesters! That's such a perfect plan!

I am so smart sometimes, I startle myself. NOT.
