they have so many signature stores!
we saw Fendi, Coach, Armani, Celine, Dolce and Gabanna, Chanel, Loius Vuitton, Tiffany and Co, Hermes, Prada, Bebe, Burberry...
my mom: pauline, do you want a burberry bag for christmas? it's very nice.
*holds up the very expensive designer bag*
i thought some alien manupliated her mind and taken over her body. wow. so nice?
me: no. i've got a lot of bags already.
even still, a burberry bag! worth more than all my bags put together.
i waved the tempting bag away before i go mad with desire.
my mom's obsessed with diamond rings, designer bags and watches. me? the clothes- especially dresses! :O
someone buy me the Bebe aqua green form-fitting ruffles dress and Celine boots? hehe.
the dress is too glam though. i have no occasion to wear it. and it's $500!
do you know you have to queue to get in Louis Vuitton??
we went to LV. i didn't know they also sold Men's shoes! they also serve drinks inside! i saw a staff give a man a glass of orange juice while he waited for his purchase.
and in Chanel, the staff handles the leather bags with gloves to lessen fingerprint imprint.
well, my mom just casually lifted a Chanel bag (worth more than 1600 dollars, by the way) from the shelf, with out gloves, and then placed it back, where it rolled off the shelf and fell onto the carpet.
i ran away before the staff found out who mistreated Chanel. it wasn't me.
went home at 10.30pm.
==========================================================================
today, monday:
it's just another manic monday!
i put an alarm to wake me at 10am because i thought i'd be going out.
i slept at 3am, fyi.
saw the sms, before i read it i knew i wasn't going to like any of it.
read it, thought i was going to throw up.
stood up, went to the bathroom and moped a bit.
i bathed, since i couldn't fall back asleep.
my sis entered when i was behind the shower curtain, showering.
me: "guess what? remember my prediction? it came true! i'm not going out today..."
my sis: "can't hear you....running water..."
me *offs the tap*: "i'm not going out today."
my sis: "HAH? why?"
me: "oh god. you should know why."
my sis gave me the YIKES! look. could this be any humiliating?
============================================================================
i thought a great deal about it yesterday. am i a selfish bitch?
i thought i was. i started to hate myself for it. hate the fact that i want what i can't have and that i expect so much.
and then last night, i hit a realisation.
i don't care about __________ OR ___________ but AT LEAST be _____________.
that's the least.
and not push everything to me. that's a little too far already, don't you think??
let me uh, conjure up a scenario:
guy says he misses you.
guy says let's go on a date.
guy supposed to plan something.
but guy never gave a thought about it.
girl takes over.
girl strains all her resources to come up with something.
girl appeals to friends for suggestions.
a very good friend says shouldn't it be the guy to think of it?
girl gets humiliated.
girl starts texting like mad. isn't it wasting money?
girl scours for movies and checks timings.
girl thinks: HUH? my friends can give me very good suggestions, WHY CAN'T HE?
girl thinks: never mind if he can't think of anything, as long as he tries. OR MAYBE, does something? a small part? NIL. NOTHING.
girl doesn't see guy trying, at all.
girl thinks about her friends' boyfriends.
friends' boyfriends probably initiates most of the dates.
friends' BFs have charm, initiative and are NOT clueless.
friends' BFs CAN plan dates and make their girls happy.
girl thinks her friends are bloody lucky.
girl thinks there are probably lots of guys out there who can please her, right at this very moment.
girl screams out loud in frustration, all the energy drained out.
the bittterness hidden starts to burst out. and girl is tired and ill.
sis counsels girl.
==========================================================================
i'm sang in an angry voice:
"you, change your mind, like a girl, changes clothes.....
...I should know, that you're no good for me...
coz you're hot then you're cold
you're YES then you're NO
You're IN then you're OUT
You're UP then you're DOWN
You're WRONG when it's RIGHT
It's black and it's white
We FIGHT we break up
We kiss, we MAKE UP.
(you) You don't really want to STAY,
no(but you) But you don't really want to GO....
Someone call the doctor, got a case of a love bi-polar...."
i sang until my brother got pissed off.
anyway, i wrapped all the christmas presents up already :)
that's probably the only good news today.
===============================================================================
anyway i stayed up all night (last night) letting my thoughts wander and i struck something that has been bothering me.
me: hey. camille. still awake? ok ok. scenario! pretend it's your birthday, what would you like to hear from your friend or crush?
A. "What do you want on your birthday? i dunno what you want :)"
B. "hey! i've bought you a present already :) "
i forgot her answer.
anyway, in case you dummies don't know, my answer is B.
i don't care whether the present you buy is not something i want badly.
for those people who ask question A on your friends' birthdays, all the time, it's like, you don't really know your friend very well.
that you don't know what the person likes or dislikes. you won't even think for the appropriate gift. and that by asking such a tactless question, you're taking the easy way out!
all the A people won't need to ponder on what to get for that person.
but i'm a B person.
because well, i make the effort to think what the person may like. depending on anyone.
and by taking time to think on what to get, you're actually caring, because you're hoping he or she would like it.
for me, i'd rather get a nice surprise than to know what i'm getting because i told my "lazy" friend what i already want.
all they need to do is go get it. no thinking or anything.
compared to a B person, wandering into shops, thinking, would he/she like it? you're actually sparing thoughts for the person!!
well, if you seriously don't know what to get (a present) for a friend, you can ask his/her friends what she/he likes. find out!
my god. don't ask "what you like?" it's a "i don't bother to think on what to get you- please save me the trouble" reply.
so please, on my birthday, or on anyone's birthday for that matter, don't ask question A, i'll rip you to shreds T.T
thank you for pei shan, grace, michelle, shahirah and lynette. they NEVER ask me that question.
aw, my girlfriends, i love you so!
i remember kexin, wen ya, see voon DIDN'T ask me that question too.
i know, all girls, but i don't ask that question to my guy friends. i think. or i ask. their friends, that is.
