oh shucks by eyelids are swollen. i think its because of yesterday's heat. the horrible aftereffects of going under the sun for too long. yup my cheeks and nose is still pink from that. i lie under the sun for 15 mins only! :/ oh and i can still feel the heat coming out of me. i should occupy myself. when i'm occupied i don't get hungry. my poor stomach didn't growl at all ytd from 6+am to 3+pm.
went to bugis today and spent money. yes spent my precious money. i realised something about myself. when i painstakingly save my own money, i tend to limit myself alot in terms of spending. when i go out shopping with my mom it's unlimited although i still feel bad because my mom doesn't get anything although i know she would like to. it all stems from 'feeling the pinch'. (i saved 200+ over the past 2 or 3 months i'm so proud of myself!) at the end of this i'll be down to 100 or so. then i start saving again for after As mega spending.
i want to get a casual dress. i want a prom dress too. but what i want isn't really an evening gown-like dress, that's too elaborate. i want a simple satin empire waist ribbon tie dress. yes satin would be nice. and i would like the colours to be a light turquoise blue and lime green. like the colours of my old sec 3/4 school bag. i don't know if going to the tailor would work out i scared turn out not nice.
anyway speaking of dresses, i was talking about wanting some occasion to rewear my sec 4 prom dress cos it's now sitting in my wardrobe doing nothing, and i have this fantastic idea of making it look nicer by tying my silver sash around the waist to make it a 'waist sash tie whatever you call it' dress. then i came home and saw a wedding invitation on the table. ahahh my cousin's wedding invite. anyway its amazing how my little haphazard 'made while engaging in casual conversation' wishes are granted. thank you my fairyGODmother!
ok i've deviated from my account of today's shopping. we went down to Gas Haus for the sgst flee! flea market. didnt get anything there because i didn't really fancy anything plus they didnt have alot of stalls. one day we'll go share a lime flea market stall. next we tried to find our way to arab st, and also around it. complicated little streets there. but we got a whole lot of charms and waisted belts and chains. i'm going to make one later i still have a whole box of tiny beads and thin wire and nylon fishing line and clasp from my secondary school days. girls we havent taken a group photo if you realised!
ok i'm going shopping again tomorrow. this is like releasing the stopper from a pressured tube. and i'll probably be getting my new camera tomorrow too! :D i declare my old faithful maximally used, it has served me well for almost FOUR YEARS! (hey i'm quite a spendthrift when it comes to these. my handphone has been with me for a long time too)
