Retail Therapy

I think i'm in the 'unlucky' phase of my life now... My brother's labtop unfortunately got injured in my hands althought i don't know how i did it. My shoulder blades are hurting like hell due to all the trigger points i have in my muscles, my back hurts if i walk on heels or sit for too long. I'm literally flooded by all this suai-ness...

So i the light of all this suai-ness, i decided to go on a retail therapy with my mum and phoebe to de-stress. The process of it wasn't fruitful for most part of the day. Well, i.e. until i saw this Marc Jacob silk dress shirt at 2cm, far east plaza. I was thinking that they will not have my size but guess wat?! They had a size 2 and it fit me perfectly after i tried it on. I won't say wat was the price i pay for it but it was such a great deal! Phoebe bought this gorgeous velvety emerald green jacket by Marc Jacobs as well at 2cm. I would have bought it myself if i wasn't so broke...





On the side note, i manage to buy a really cute necklace and a gorgeous bra from Tangs.'

Schizo

This is me blogging again for the second time today. I've tons of things in my mind but i can't really organise it into proper, coherent sentences due to my already mushed up brain from the extremely long day in school.

Met up with glen today in school since he is waiting for jane to be done with her quiz. We had our usual gossiping session at the cafe in school and he told me some stuff about a friend that i honestly thought i'll nv hear since i believe in the notion of "my friends(those i'm close to & have known for a long time) will be truthful to me; regardless of what it is about". Hey, guess wat? I was seriously wrong and disappointed i must say... But duh... When was i ever right?

I believe that there's a schizophreniac hiding in me waiting to burst out and it's just waiting for the right trigger. I'm always asking myself, "am i really that hard to get?" How can one person be cynical, utterly realistic at times and yet be so naive at the same time? I really need some counselling and therapy. Any volunteers?

How can you spare someone's feelings by denying them?

Ramblings

School has been pretty intense lately... Tons of readings to do, tons of projects and reports to complete and tons of work for my final year project which is finally sparking off now that NHG has provided us with ethics approval. But that means more work for me... It's still a little surreal when i think of graduation which is pretty much 4 months away. May seem like a long time but time flies by every single day... I wish there was 48 hours a day so that i can finish up my work in time.

The trip to New York has not been confirmed yet but my dearest daddy is gonna sponser my air ticket for me! So i'll just have to worry abt my expenses... :) I'm looking forward to a fabulous summer vacation... It's been years since i went to the states so its about time i pay visit to the statue of liberty! and of course, Saks, Fifth Ave... hehe. Just keeping my fingers crossed that Tess will be done with school by then.

Latest Obsessions
1) Australian Open - Mostly Andy Roddick and Roger Federer
2) Rain - Yesh, the really hot korean singer (never thought in a million years i'll say this... But he is a REALLY FANTASTIC dancer)
3) Journal Articles - yes, i've an inner nerd in me
4) Carl Jung's Man and their Symbols (Fantastic book; although a little heavy to read)
5) Crunches and Leg Lifts before bed

I've finally placed a new tagboard into my blog after much procrastination. :) So friends, chat away!

Reality

I was having a lecture on professional issues this morning and we were talking about job interviews and preparations which included writing a CV to market ourselves as potential employees. Reality hits me when our lecturer was emphasing again & again the importance of writing an excellent CV and 'selling' ourselves to our potential employers. I'm graduating really soon... and i'll have to send out my CV, go for interview and eventually earn a living for myself and my family. The thought of it is exciting but yet so extremely daunting...

Tons of questions went through my mind... Where should i send my resume to? What if i can't practice in an area of specialty that i wanted? Can i survive on my own? I've been a student for so long that i can't help but to think, "What will become of me when i graduate?" I need some advice! because i'm clueless at this...
