Mood: Yay!
Song: Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You (ain't that an annual classic that's a must-listen during the X'mas season?! That was a rhetorical question, by the way!)

Alrighty, didn't really accomplish what I wanted to do today, which was to get the $103.95 Projectshop bag. Too expensive for something that doesn't look like $100! I know I am materialistic, but who isn't? I want my stuff to look what they cost. I don't feel like I'm a poser whatsoever, and I don't really care what people think. I've learnt through the years to just let it go and let those people who despise or patronise me to do what they like. After all, they can't control what I do, and vice versa. So why waste my time bothering? I think I have better things to do, like concentrating on my studies or doing more shopping. Haha.

Okie, but I managed to salvage myself by getting two new tees and a Fossil watch! The watch was some sort of an impulsive buy, but I'm not regretting it! Always wanted a new watch since my old Swatch broke down, and I can't be bothered to go fix it. I wanted to hint to my friends to get me a new watch for my next birthday, especially since we've been buying watches for other people's birthdays, but then again, sometimes these people can't get even the most obvious hints. And I don't want to tell them directly what I want. Loses the surprise element there. So therefore, thus, henceforth, I bought what I wanted myself! No hassle, no hints, not a lot of money (since it was on 15% discount, and it's Fossil, endorsed by Stefanie Sun, haha, so worth the $100++) and I'm happy! Is there a better way?! I doubt it. Anyway, this is how the watch looks. Nice right? Haha...



Had one sorta eyebrow raising incident earlier at this street shop in Bugis though. I was browsing through the t-shirts with Min and Freddie, and this Malay bitch and her equally whatever friend came up to me to ask me the price of one of the t-shirts. Like hello? Do I bloody hell do like a sales assistant?! I wasn't really angry or pissed at that point. I just politely (how rare) told them that I'm not a SA. And they mumbled their apologies. Or maybe they didn't even apologise. Didn't bother myself with them. Urgh. Heard them mumbling about "malu-ing" themselves. Oh whatever. This is the first time in my whole life that I'm actually mistaken for a SA. I know that the store does not require a dress code or uniform, but me??! A sales assistant? Like are you blind? Or just too plain stupid to distinguish between a customer and a SA? Never mind, I think I sounded somewhat racist there, which wasn't intentional.

I'm still a little sore that I haven't gotten my bag! School's starting soon, and I need a new bag cuz I'm sick of carrying the same old denim one everyday! I need variety, I need change. Most of the bags that I saw were reasonably priced, but I think some might be overpriced. Like those shops which sell solely only bags? I think the owner imports them from Thailand or Malaysia and sells them at exorbitant prices, that I think it's not worth paying for. Especially with fraying ends, and threads running astray here and there. The workmanship isn't up to my standards (which is pretty high, if I so admit myself). So now I need to continue on my journey on seeking the perfect bag with little stray threads before school starts, or else I'll be relegated back to my old bag, which I still love, but just feel a little bored with it. Anyway, we are planning to go Queensway next week (on the day when Freddie doesn't have perpetual cheerleading practice) and scout for more things! Can't wait... but oh well, maybe I should let my bank balance be stagnant for a few days first before depleting again.

I am still not in the Christmas mood. Hopefully it'll change this Saturday when my family goes out to celebrate.
