It's such an Innocent outing...

I am currently under stress. Loads of work to read and memorise in less than 5 days' time for my College exam. Plus essays which I haven't done yet and due in less than 5 days' time too. yes.. yes.. it's all my fault for procrastinating...sigh..

Feeling rather sorry for myself for being under stress [which I shouldn't] and the signs of "further reductions", " 70% 0ff", "Final reductions" in Monsoon, Karren Millen, Accesorize, etc..beckon Oh, so sweetly!! I made a date with Sinyi today to shop only for Accesories. I told myself that I'll only have a Starbucks session for an hour followed by another hour of shopping, then back to STUDYING..

All was going according to plan till I step into Karren Millen. Damn that woman!! was just perusing through the racks without much interest, after all I already have a Gorgeous dress bought slightly earlier. Since, Sinyi was trying on some dresses, I thought may as well... "trying is free, after all". The next few minutes are all in a blur as a moment of " OMG, I look GORGEOUS!!!" occured. Debating whether to buy or not didn't take quite long. Sorry to say that I gave in quite easily.. Yes.. yes.. I admit it.. I am Weak..sigh.

The only thing I could use to gag my conscience is that I checked my balance earlier and I was spending LESS than I thought I was..

So.. *wicked grin* MY GUILT IS ABSOLVED.

Obviously, the day couldn't end with just one dress. I picked up another bracelet, earrings and necklace and body butter.

Total hours spend: 4.5 Hours
Total $$$ spend: *shhhhh*

Total discipline in Ping: NONE

One sentence in defence: They were ALL on SALE!!!!!!!!!

Sigh.... I rest my case. I am a victim in all of this. *innocent look*

Don't u believe me???

*cackles*

It hurts...

When you are 10, it hurts when,

your best friend stops talking to you, suddenly
your teacher punishes you in front of the whole class
you realize you are too old to play with Barbie
your Parents spanks you
you fall down in the playground & scrap your knee

When you are 15, it hurts when,

you fight with your best friend
your teachers are disappointed with you
your Parents give you the silent treatment
you told your crush that you like him and he says, 'Thank you'.
your Dream Prom dress is bought by someone else
you realize that playing games hurt others
you are confused & do not know what you want & what to do

When you are 20, it hurts when,

you start drifting apart from your best friend
you are disappointed with yourself
you still want your Mummy but is too old for it
your bank statement arrives, heavily overdrawn
you realize that the world isn't a Nice place
you like someone cause you figured out that liking someone puts your heart at risk
you are Still confused &do not know what you want & what to do
you realize you Have to grow up.

Twenty-something

After years of expensive education
A car full of books and anticipation
I'm an expert on Shakespeare and that's a hell of a lot
But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought
Maybe I'll go travelling for a year
Finding myself, or start a career
Could work the poor, though I'm hungry for fame
We all seem so different but we're just the same
Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat
Aren't things more easy, with a tight six pack
Who knows the answers, who do you trust
I can't even seperate love from lust
Maybe I'll move back home and pay off my loans
Working nine to five, answering phones
But don't make me live for Friday nights
Drinking eight pints and getting in fights
Maybe I'll just fall in love
That could solve it all
Philosophers say that that's enough
There surely must be more
Love ain't the answer, nor is work
The truth elludes me so much it hurts
But I'm still having fun and I guess that's the key
I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep being me
