Dream shoes~ ^-^
Today started out terrible but then got better and better~ X>
I got hit on by an Indian middle-aged guy old enough to be my father while waiting at the bus stop this morning =.- (He has a moustach for god's sake~ Even my dad doesnt have a moustach. Nuuuuuu~ X[)
Ok, getting hit on isnt all that rare. It was more wat he said -.-
Gah. Felt like rolling my eyes and keep rolling them. Duh.
My bus took 15 minutes to arrive and the guy seemed undiscouraged by my monosyllabic responses or cheesed off face (i kept looking away and he kept calling me =.=). He even looked at my hands n complimented my manicure at one point and i felt like poking my ring finger wif my ring on it in his eye~
Is he like, blind or wat?
Creep =.=
And then i got to my haircut appointment late and was told that my hairdresser had asthma and had gone to see a doctor. So i've made a wasted trip down in the sweltering heat. (And i do mean sweltering~ X|)
Went to Causeway Point to repair my mobile phone at the service centre after, and shopped around in the mall afterwards.
Then the day got better...
Because.... *drumroll*......
I found My. Dream. Shoes~!!!!!!!!
Waaaaaaa-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~~~~!!!!!!
*squeals~*
Its so pretty i tell u~ XD
Pale gold, 4 inch high wedges, wif clasps.
Let me tell u wat it does for my legs... It made my legs look like half a feet longer! I have like, Naomi Campbell's legs in those wedges i tell u~!!!!! Wahahahahhahaha~!!!!!!! XD
*cough* >.>
A short and fat and non-black Naomi Campbell that is <.<
LOL~!!!
*falls down luffing~*
[J/K! XP]
And Xiangling had given me a gift certificate for Charles & Keith (where i went to look and found these shoes) for my birthday, so i onli have to fork out 20 myself. 20bucks to get my dream shoes. Excellent!
Its so totally gorgeous~
And pale gold will go wif any clothes i wan to match too~ ^-^
*jumps up and down~!!!*
And i've bought some clothes ytd (black short tube dress ^-^), and some *cough* innerwear, and some earrings, so now all i'm missing are some more accesories (chunky necklaces =p) and a bag maybe and another suit of clothes and a couple days of tanning...
I see i have my work cut out in front of me the next few days leading to CNY this sunday.... >.>;
HEH!!
*jiggles around~*
Feeling happy now~ ^-^

It shdnt be a day jus for couples, but for frens too =)
So Happy Valentine's Day to everyone in advance~

Bulova Women's Diamond Bezel Chronograph Watch
Okay, since i'm at the topic of materialistic wants anyway, I decided this has got to have a whole post by itself~
Bulova Women's Diamond Bezel Chronograph Watch
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/.....link
This is the most perfect watch ever! O.O
Its like the watch i've been looking high and low for and finally found.
It has both glam and functions. I've been looking for dressy watches that are oso classic pieces that i can carry over to everyday wear if i wan to. One that comes wif date, etc, and not jus a timepiece that looks good on ya wrist but doesnt even have a seconds-hand or the numeral dial. And this watch has diamonds! I love sparkles and blings as much as the next gal, and this watch is dressy but classic and isnt overstated. Wats not to like?
And u noe wats the plus? The brand itself.
I cant really say i go for branded goods that much (*cough*), but if i had to choose, all my watches must be of a good brand and quality. I think brands in watches amount to durability.
And a classic brand never goes out of date.
And the brand of a watch (or indeed, the watch itself) speaks alot about a person. I've been looking for a watch and a brand that speaks out to me as much as it speaks about me. Maybe thats why, despite the very very rare $10 dollar watch (that quickly loses it battery life anyway), i havent been able to give up on my current 25 Hours watch.
Rolex is too much of an overstatement for someone my age (tho i'm aware they have a new line thats catered towards the younger tastes) and too expensive and not really reasonable for everyday wear. Omega, while classic, strikes me as alittle mature and somewat doctrinal or conventional, and jus doesnt feel right for me (i did consider it for awhile, but it jus doesnt beckon me at all). Tag Hauer is too manly. Guess as a watch is too young and funky (i noe frens wear them, but for the same amount or slightly more, i'd rather get smth else) and i think i'd still rather stick to their bags and wallets. DKNY is a fashion watch that doesnt really count functions as one of its selling points (despite it being on my wishlist previously). If anyone says Casio or Fossil, i'll go 'Ugh'... same for any other non classic timepeice brands.
Recently, i've been thinking through the brands (classic timepieces kinda, but ultimately affordable or at least striveable - not one of your $20k or $200k sort of watches... those belong in a freaking museum in their boxes, not to be worn out ), and thought of Raymond Weil maybe (respectful but sensual). I didnt particularly consider Bulova, seeing as i dun really chance upon it that often when i shop and the brand didnt immediately jump out at me. But this watch.... is nothing short of perfection for me i think. It is reliable, beautiful (for their line of women watches) and forward-looking despite its long history, and its look of having outstanding diamonds but an understated cut to match it and a multi-dial function that keeps track of dates and days etc, binds glam and function together. Perfect.
I guess i've always been looking for a watch i wud fall in love wif at first sight and wud have no regrets buying.I guess this is the one. My impulse buys are few and far between, but the rare times i am not fickle over smth and can buy them on the spot, are when i fall in love wif the object at first sight. It doesnt happen too often, and i've never regretted any of those buys yet.
This model has been around for sometime now i think... hopefully when i'm looking to buy it again once i earn my own moolah (or have someone buy it as a special gift, so that it'll be even more special), it'll still be there.
My important watches generally holds some meaning in my life, are given by someone or to mark a special occasion. (My current watch was bought by my dad when i graduated from high sch.) I will have another watch coming in soon, given by someone special for a special occasion. It will tide me for until i get my next watch, which will hopefully be this Bulova. I wud like to think with my first paycheck (when i really trully go out to work), but then i think my first paycheck wud be put to more crucial and urgent uses, like paying for the bills first or to get me work wear or bags and shoes, haha.
Right now, its going for USD$248 on amazon.com, a 50% mark down from its original USD$499, or at least USD100 less than places sold outside. So that wud be about SGD$400-500. Not unreacheable, but still too pricey for me to get now =/ Its more than the below $250 i wud wan to pay for a good watch, but i guess i'll be paying for quality so its all right.(Reviews of Bulova's watches have always been good... they work 12 years wif onli 3 battery changes according to one reviewer. Mmm.)
(I hate online transactions btw, they strike me as so cumblesome and unsafe. And u can never inspect the goods until they've reached, which will be too late sometimes if the seller doesnt offer refunds. And i'll need a credit card or a debit card for it. Guess its high time i get myself a debit card anyway... too many things i'll need it for in future, and its always better to carry some plastic than cold cash.)
Well, i'll look around for other classic watches meanwhile, but i think aside from price and maybe weight (its abit on the heavy side but bearable), this Bulova is as close to wat i want as i can find already.

Wants
You noe wat? I shd go all out and be materialistic and jus make this a bimbotic post~
Here's a list of things i want and need, and should i have the money (haha!), will get:
GUESS bag (darn, i dun have the $120 required to buy it now and i noe it'll be gone soon, since Guess always change their apparels every month or so u_u)
DKNY gold and crystal-studded watch (very ornamental, more a dress watch then an every-funtion watch. still, pretty~ XD)
Mphosis pale gold SLIPPERS (i run through my shoes and slippers like they cost nth, breaking and tearing left and right. seriously! X/ Since i'm left wif no more nice-looking flats that i wun be embarassed to wear to town, this is on the top of my To Get list, once i get my Chinese New Year ang pows.)
The BodyShop BLUSHER in Golden Pink (Chinese New Year...so will stock up on it before or after the new year, since mine is finishing in jus a few more days i think <.<)
The BodyShop blusher BRUSH (best ponyhair material i've come across, even compared to brands like MAC, Shu Uemura etc, and the most value for money at $19.90 too)
Shiseido eyelash CURLER (made for Asian eye shapes ^^)
False eyelashes from SASA or wherever (if i get too lazy to use mascara next time, and can find a decent pair of falsies. Heard from a fren its actually faster to put on than mascara once u're practiced enuff. Tempting.)
MAC eyeliner (the waterproof ones. Colour in dark brown looks pretty good, comparable to the one i'm using from The Face Shop now that is cheap and good but easily smudgeable, therefore need to find a replacement that is smudge-proof.)
PHILOSOPHY brand Hope In A Jar moisturizer (I've heard so much about it. Its like the miracle cream or someth. Not even sure its sold in Singapore... maybe get it online next time or something. USD$35 for a 2oz jar or USD$70 for a 4oz jar.)
Full-length wall MIRROR(s) for my room (yes yes!! this is freaking long overdue~!!! by the time i get it, i think it'll most likely be wif my own money from when i start work u_u)
A new big every-purpose BAG. Or bags. (i'm a bag whore. i need bags. plain and simple.)
Pretty SHOES
A Digital CAMERA (well, someday. sighs.)
A bloody new PC or laptop with the speed of light and a gazillion GB of memory!! =[
(did i mention how my room's PC thats approximately 8 years old keeps hanging on me like once or twice every couple of days or lesser? or that the monitor have tendencies not to get power and doesnt on when the CPU does and i have to restart everything all over again because thats how it works if i wan both to on? No? I havent said that? Well, yes. I'm in dire need of a new PC or laptop. Even Dell or someth DIY or second-hand. Dammit! X[ )
Lots of new clothes and lingerie~ (they dun even have to be branded, jus need to look good on me. Well, it wun hurt if the bras are from Triumph though... quality and texture matters for undergarments u noe? *cough*)
More coloured contact lenses, and at least a few pairs of my normal lenses wif high asmatism to last till after my exams (ironcally, because of my high asmatism, a pair of my normal lens will be roughly the price i can get for two pairs of coloured contacts u_u So i'm sticking wif coloured for now... unbeliveably, more for costs than vainity reasons. I miss not having to squint at the whiteboards in lectures. But since lectures are coming to a close... guess i jus need a few more pairs of normal lens to tide me thru until exams end.)
Okay... end of bimbtic post. Think i've pretty much covered myself from top to toe, and then some.
Sighs. Someday i guess.
