I frequently wonder if I'm the only weirdo who feels that friends disappear into thin air once everyone starts work. I guess I dun mean it literally, but just that everyone just seems so caught up with work, with their own lives that they dun seem to bother to meet up that much anymore. Today over lunch I raised this to a friend and he too concurred. And this is just the beginning.... wait till ppl start getting married and such. At times I can't help feeling that I'm the only one who seriously bothers. Why dun some ppl care anymore? Am I the only sentimental soul who remembers all the moments shared with each and every special friend I've made? Or am I the only soul who hasn't got her priorities right-- who instead of focusing and working hard towards carving out a decent career for myself gets overly emotional from time to time? Very ironically, though meeting up with old friends make me happy; it also reminds me how times have changed; how certain really fond memories can never be relived and we just have to accept that.

Gadget-freak dad has struck again. This time, he bought a huge SONY Bravia 46" LCD TV and it has been hanging on my living room wall since Wed, together with the existing similar sized flat screen TV; and his other smaller TV at the back of our living room. And so the living room is indeed chapalang and overcrowded with TVs... but I have to admit that dad is not wrong in saying that he has the right to spend money on the things he likes (cos I went to 'scold' him then he rebuked by saying... so i spend $1000 over to travel ok, he buy TV with his own money not ok??) Oh well. Actually despite the overcrowdedness.... having a huge LCD TV on your wall plus cable TV (yes, he also went to get the Starhub Hubstation) is quite a mini luxury.... (that's one good thing about living with your family, get to be free loader on such things haha; k lah i not so materialistic) Hai, considering that I wun be eligible to buy an HDB flat anytime soon... might as well make myself as happy and cosy as possible at home eh ;)

Love at first sight!

In line with my new resolution to look more professional/less kiddish, I went shopping after Jap lessons yesterday (what a good excuse to shop right?) and I fell in love with this pair of shoes....! Now I officially own two pairs of flowery cum pure color heels... Ok to be fair, this pair of shoes isn't exactly what you call professional, but I suppose when you really like something you can easily find all kinds of excuses to justify buying it haha. So I splurged on a pair of shoes I didn't exactly need... :) Also went to Zara and fell in love with all the coats there. Though I've always been a fan of long coats, quite a few of the new designs on display were seriously cute. The only convincing consolation I could think up is that it will be a waste of money in hot tropical Singapore (k lah, also not cheap). Even my old coats are kinda obsolete... I need to travel to somewhere cold next year so that I can wear my winter gear all over again ;P Hmm.. maybe should plan for Japan in late winter/early Spring... Also saw some nice stuff that I could have fitted into if I were just a teeny bit slimmer.... aargh. Nevermind, incentive to cut down on choc/ snacks intake at work... :)
