i have been seriously un-bloggy lately.

weird.

feels like just yesterday that i blogged about london and newyork and the travel bug.
i seem to have been bitten by another kind of bug though, i have a sort of cold, and my lymph nodes feel rather swollen and my throat's being funny.

i keep thinking of funny things to blog but am too lazy.

today was quite fun. am glad CTs are over, obviously. but not so looking forward to results, as usual. but since the results have to be gotten back anyway, i wish they'd give them back all in one go instead of over a long-drawn period of weeks.

just watched Lost and The OC. didn't enjoy either one much, unfortunately, cos i was really very sleepy and i was very lost wrt Lost (hahaha) because i only watched the second ep then i missed two weeks and then i watched today. and OC was a very very depressing episode. what happened to the happy valentine's day of season one? this time round all of them are alone, and ryan's with some annoying girl called lindsay... ok i know everyone hates marissa, but i thought ryan and marissa were rather appealing together. and summer and seth!!!!!! poor seth. zach is so annoying. was funny at the end, though, when all the het couples are making out and seth and ryan walk down the waterfront together. maybe eventually the two of them'll end up together.

now i'm not so sleepy.

i want the mango skirt i saw today. i feel stupid for having been 'prudent' enough to want to think it over first. it was on sale! and only two left in my size! ok there were only three altogether, one size 6 which was wayy too big, and two size 4s which was better although a size 2'd probably have been ideal. am quite confused about sizes -- for trousers i always need the larger sizes, but for these type of below-the-knee skirts i always need supersmall sizes. even the country road skirt which i did not end up buying, even size 2 was a little big. and i don't mean too long -- because yes those type of skirts tend to look best on really tall, long-legged women. but i mean the waist itself is often quite huge, strangely.

i've got shopping ennui again. walked around in isetan etc today and didn't see anything i liked, and even the mango skirt which i liked a lot i didn't buy. which i regret of course. but point is i went to orchard properly after a hiatus that's lasted almost two weeks, and didn't buy a single thing except food. not a single thing. anyway i will hopefully go back tomorrow and hopefully find the skirt again. i suppose if it's there then it's fate. i hope i remember to go -- wake up in time etc. i want to catch A Lot Like Love.

and i still have that impending jeans purchase. see now i think it might actually be possible to convince my mom to buy me $400 jeans... because i have a hunch she might be ok with it. but the thing is i intend to lose weight off my butt/thighs, meaning it is possible (hopeful) that by the end of the year or so i might need a different fit/size. in which case the money would be kinda wasted. though there are people who can tailor jeans, i don't know any in singapore but in the US there's denim doctor and stuff. i don't know. maybe i should buy miss sixty jeans now and at the end of the year if my mom's feeling kindly-enough disposed towards me i'll get another pair? SO extravagant. i already have so many pairs of jeans.

sigh. i want to go shopping in a place that's NICE to shop in, like the US. i am so tired of walking around singapore and seeing things i don't really like.

OH! i just realised that the mango skirt's a bit like a martina pink skirt i almost made my mom buy for me in tangs the other day, because it's right next to the bikini section. but that skirt print was a little too old, whereas the mango one is more low-key. it's just that the shape is similar. it's the sort of 50s-style below-the-knee slightly flouncy type which kelly likes a lot. she'd have liked the martina pink one. martina pink's got pretty nice stuff.

hm. i need to find new clothes haunts. and discover tangs properly -- they really have some rather nice stuff. their second level is like costume jewelry HEAVEN. and they have a kinky lingerie section! with feather boas and weird leopard print decor and bras with fluffy things on them, and this manicure corner with an old-fashioned mirror where old trannie-looking people get their nails done, while gazing at the spike stilettos and thinking about handcuffs. maybe they sell handcuffs there. it's so weird seeing half a sex shop sitting there next to the innocent lingerie section. it's not even hidden or anything. it's really quite prominent what with the hotpink feather boas and provocatively posing mannequins.

tangs is definitely better than isetan. isetan's only good for the designer stuff.

need to sleep!
