I haven’t been out much which explains the lack of outfit posts. I was supposed to have completed some artwork by now but well, doesn’t seem like it either! Plus I had the worst day today and so my mind+body+soul aren’t being the good ol’ three musketeers they should be. What I do have is some photos documenting the past few days.

Pretty much sums up what I ate, who I hung out with and what I do in my spare time. I’m hoping my mightymouse starts scrolling up soon, it’s killing me very slowly. In the meantime, if you’re in need of new music, you can get some here and Zouk has a new blog too.

Taking a holiday in Spain has been on my mind for weeks now, i’ve even started learning Spanish from podcasts! When i do get to pop by Kinokuniya (a bookstore), i bypass the magazine section and head straight to the travel guides. I do feel a little psycho because i’m never like that. I’m thinking this is partly due to the fact that after visiting New York City, maybe i had to find a new place to dream about. NYC; has been a dream for me since i was 16.

So i’ve been reading this and that, from here and there and have set my heart on five places: Majorca, Gran Canaria, Valencia, Madrid and of course, Barcelona. I found some photos on flickr - one way to get close though hardly enough. They say, be careful what you wish for…

It’s been awhile since i’ve worn my jeans and tonight we hung out over dinner! I threw on my ‘gas station’ top and my new sandals which arrived in the mail today, rode my bicycle and had curry.

Pardon my facial expressions, i tend to talk while getting photographed which results in many bad/warped pictures.

One of my favourite styles to wear is what i term, the ‘Little Girl’s Dress’. I will always search high and low for them on ebay but most of the time, i cannot squeeze my body into actual little girl dresses.

Sometimes i wish i could venture out of dressing ‘cute’ but i’ve been this way all my life, i figure this is who i am. It’s apparent in most of the things i buy/do/say/enjoy/like.

Do you remember a time when you tried to wear something you don’t usually do and you step out of your house and regret the whole time, tugging or pulling at your clothes, hoping somehow it would fall into place? I always do when i see something ‘adventurous’ and then i’d put it back on the rack.

Tonight i met two friends for Burgers at Relish. The food was eh-okay; i was abit nervous all night cos i was waiting for the right time to ‘present’ my friend, Sab, this painting i’m holding. It’s a late birthday gift and i’m always embarrassed about my work so, i get all worried.

I walked so much today, it’s the first night since we started cycling that we aren’t going cycling. This will be short and sweet so i can jump right into bed!

To start the day, i had brekkie before stepping out

Then lunch at Oomphamatico’s; I had angel hair with chicken+aubergines+artichokes

This is what i wore and it wasn’t cool enough to stop me from perspiring all day.

I woke up at 11pm tonight, my sleeping patterns have gone all wonky now. So my bf, Ben, & I went cycling to get supper. It turned out disastrous. Long story short, the night involved a punctured tyre and having him cycle us home with me standing on the back, on those two things - i don’t know what they’re called. It took us about 15 minutes to cycle home and i was just terrified the whole time. So i was singing songs by She & Him to ‘keep calm and carry on’.

I’m especially taken by these two outfits from Topshop’s Fall 08 Collection. As for the second outfit, i know it looks so awesome only because the model has crazyass legs. Y’know i always have a liking for sleek shiny hair like that, unachievable sleek shiny hair that is.

Haven’t had such a good week, my cat’s ‘depressed’ which gets me down. Well at least work’s kinda cleared up, i hope i get to pick up some painting materials tomorrow. I realised eversince i got back from my trip, i haven’t worn my jeans since. I used to wear them regardless of how my legs boil in them in the terrible weather. I’ve been living in these shorts for awhile now.

I made a trip downtown today and this is what i wore.

Vintage Silver Metallic Mini Dress: Beacon’s Closet
Black Skirt (underneath) : Made by Hellosparrow

I wore a skirt underneath cos it looked better than with black shorts. It gave an added poof and length so it worked for me!

And this is the outcome of my trip downtown,

because my mother’s opinion of my hair matters alot to me, because i always felt like a wannabe-girl-with-long-hair, because i noticed it made me miserable most of the time.

Happy days now with happier hair. (I hate to have to post more pictures of me than usual but sigh, this is my way of remembering my hair.)
