I’m pink and black and blue for you

I woke up a bit disorientated this morning. You know, that feeling that you weren’t sleeping and doing a lot of moving about but hey why am I in bed and my limbs are still trying to wake up?

Only after taking 35 mins of getting ready and while waiting for the water to boil for a cuppa tea did I realise that I had the weirdest dream last night. And sure enough, it involved a lot of moving about.

I dreamt that I was in some sort of uni, and funnily enough jaclyn and her boyfriend were in my class and I kept asking them questions about math homework. And then (yes, there’s more), I was running around this uni, which looks a lot like Nimonster’s old uni in Northridge, and somehow I couldn’t find my class and was getting panicky. I swear, I went up this stairs turn here and there and went in circles but somehow couldn’t find my damn class! And it was already 3 mins past the class starting time and I really hate being late for classes.

So in the end, I asked someone (god knows why I didn’t earlier, my dream-self must’ve had some male-ego-don’t-ask-for-directions thing going on). So apparently, my class was like Harry Potter’s Room of Requirement (yes, I like Harry Potter and I remember things from the book shuddap), so I had to think about my class really hard while at this particular spot and the door would magically appear for me.

So this is what I’ve deciphered from the dream: I have a deep desire to have magical powers so I can use it to pass my exams, which I really hate because I don’t do well under the pressure of time and mystery questions potentially from any of the 25 chapters the lecturer did NOT go through.

I can’t get Chairlift’s Bruises out of my head. I need to stop going to the pharmacy, Target or Kmart for nonsensical toiletries and makeup. I am craving for pasta, risotto to be exact, even though I’ve just had pasta yesterday. Oh, and I’m in dire need for Grey’s Anatomy to make my life make sense again.

I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do handstands for you
everytime I fell on you
Yeah, everytime I fell
I tried to do handstands for you
But everytime I fell for you
I’m permanently black and blue
Blue for youuuuu

Of silver chains and patent leather heels

The mid-semester break started off well with an interview with a media advertising agency which turned out better than expected. Who said people in advertising are bitches? Or is it too early for that comment maybe? Hmm. Drinks and red meat with good friends always come best after business, or rather, uni affairs. And at this rate, old flames will be what they’re meant to be – old and tucked under the bed, where all the dusty memories go.

Haven’t shared an outfit post in a while. Here’s how I tried to mix friday business casual with friday night out with the girls.

Cross-stitch Sunday

I finally discovered Spotlight! Hallelujah! It’s a craft haven for craft nutters like me. :) So I bought this cute bib for Brandy, my bratty Pomeranian, because she always makes a mess on her furry area under her chin (if you get what I mean!). I also chose a nice pink thread to personalise it for the bratty princess. Because the bib was a bit too big for her, I modified it a lil. We’ll see if it works during dinnertime!

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

It’s been a week of many changes. 2009 officially sucks. It can die and go to hell.

My cousin came for 10 days and went. How quick 10 days passed. I think Brandy will miss her a lot. She’s such an animal person. My cousin that is, not Brandy.

I brought my cousin to so many chocolate places. San Churro was one of the places we tried out together – milk chocolate and hot churros are TO DIE FOR.

Visited Dali’s exhibition with a couple of girlfriends. Exhibition was absolutely AH-mazing! Day out with the girls absolutely fun and just what I needed.

Over the week, I have also decided to further my study, and have just sent in my application for Master of Advertising at RMIT University. Jaclyn, please do not freak out. I’m still quite blasé about whether I get accepted or not. In the meantime, I’m happy just hanging around the house in my pajamas since work at Pearson ended. Workdays without work is better than having the weekend off after a long week of work.

I need a haircut. I might dye it jet black. I might pierce my tongue this week. I might go on a couple of dates too. I might do a lot of things. I like change, most of the time.

Why is the gingerbread man still smiling? I need to learn from him.

S.H.O.E.S

Word of advice for all the ladies out there: DO NOT put a shopping ban on yourself. It is potentially a really bad idea. Why? Because when you let loose, you go crazy! I’m living proof. After 2 months of avoiding shopping centres and the shops, I decided to go shopping – mainly because I needed a pair of black boots. And holymotherofchristmas, I came home with 4 pairs of shoes and a pair of jeans (which I changed my mind about and am going to return it at the end of the week). Although one pair of shoe was $5 and another was $15, found the perfect black boots for almost half its original price, and 10% off this pair of sexy heels – it was still a lot of credit card damage.

End of tax year massive sales have begun and my cousin who’s coming from overseas wants me to bring her shopping while she’s here, somebody please cut up my credit card. kthxbye.

Brown Hues

I’ve been liking brown hues lately. Dark brown, light brown, poo brown, all kinds of brown. This was taken a couple months ago in LA. Wearing the boyfriend’s old oversized shirt with light brown stripes as a dress, belt, 3/4 tights and brown gladiators.

This is what a wore to work on Friday. Tank with brown swirly patterns, peachy brown cardigan, F21 skirt with belt, tights and dark brown boots. Got a few compliments from colleagues with this ensemble. :)

Doing the Karen Cheng

Today I did the Karen Cheng. It is definitely not my first time doing the Karen Cheng, but the first I’ve ever posted. Karen’s blog is one of my favourites to read and I follow it religiously. I don’t think I read the newspaper as often as I read her blog. Haha. She is currently expecting her third baby! I am so happy for her, I hope it’ll be a girl since she has two handsome boys already. :)

I went to work in my new Sportsgirl top, a birthday present from Madcow Jingwen. Basic Cotton On sleveless tee underneath, vintage belt from MuffStitShop, and 3/4 black pants. I have boring shoes, no need to mention them eh.

We’ll be in December next week! Holy Cow, where did the year go? My neighbour already have their Christmas lights up. I can’t wait for my winter (instead of summer) Christmases, only one more month to go!
