today i believe most people are ignorant
I really do not know what have this world comes to.
I never fail to notice that most people sitting on the seats clearly labelled Priority Seatings do not carry a child, pregnant, disabled or having a single strand of grey hair or wrinkles on the face. Look, even if you're 45 years old, you're not consider old GET IT?
The worst offenders are kids in their 20s. The most ironic part is, most of the time, there were plenty of seats at the back. So hard really does it takes a clearly healthy person to walk to the back of the bus.
Yesterday, I saw this lady parked her big bum on one of the priority seats next to her mum who is clearly not even old. So an old man board the bus and it was obvious the man has restriction when it comes to walking yet she didn't move or even offer him the seat. Instead the old man is forced to take a seat all the way at the back. And guess what? Both the lady and her mother were just getting off after a few stops in CBD area. Do you know really need a seat to begin with? Shame on you!
Anyway, the situation is worst back in Malaysia and Singapore. One of my friends relate this story to me when she was working in Singapore and back then when she was 6 months pregnant with her first child, no one would actually offer her a seat most of the time whenever she takes public transport unless she asked for it. God! Especially guys, I cannot stand it if guys just pretend that a pregnant woman does not exist. How ungentlemanly is that?
Okay, it's shopping time. Yippie! (I know it's totally unrelated with this post but just so because shopping makes me happy!)

today i shop for christmas outfit
I was meant to find a black high heels for work and I ended up trotting into Alannah Hill and got myself a cocktail dress instead. Yippie!!
All I need now is a matching heels and clutch in gold. Spend more money again buying unnecessary stuff but the dress is so gorgeous I feel so happy just by looking at it. I'm really not a big fan of Alannah Hill. She has all this flowery wacky colour combination prints and beads and what not but her chiffony items are actually quite eye candy like, hence my dress.
So tomorrow, I'm back on my black high heels hunt.
Wish me luck because I most certainly need it!
Goodnight!

today i heart suzy smith
Whee!!! I finally got myself a huge ass black bag, although it's not a tote. It's a large hobo with gold studs and hardware for the very affordable price of $89.95. The only downside is, it's not leather. Which means it wouldn't last as long if I'm gonna use it as a trash around bag. I'm beaming right now if you could see me.
Anyway, I'm close to bankruptcy right now but I need some new shoes and work clothes. And bags. Okay, not necessarily bags because I've just received two on my birthday. I'm saving money for a new digicam and mobile phone. I need about $1000 for both of them. My sisters birthday are coming up. I am thinking of getting a Tiffany sterling silver necklace for the youngest one and a tote bag for uni for the older one. So that's roughly about $600. And Christmas... Can I just disappear during the Christmas period? Hohoho...
And I need to save enough for my Europe trip next year when sis is studying in London. UGH. But at least it's not till September.
I really don't know how can I save money unless I'm earning a huge ass salary which I'm not (I'm STILL sitting below $40K p.a.). Or swiping Pa's credit card which has been lying somewhere in the drawer. Pa is getting older and I should be the one giving him pocket money instead of the other way round. Or buying clothes from Target which I'll never ever wear. First of all, It's not US Target. You don't get Isaac Mizrahi stuff. And secondly, the quality of some of the products are quite shittie and over-priced.
I also have this bad habit of needing matching shoes or accessories or whatever if I buy a certain item and I'll go hunt and look for the matching accessories and ended up spending more money. For example, I got a red bag as a pressie and I'm looking for a pair of red shoes (Saw a pair of red suede flats in Zomp for $90) before I could use the bag. I really can die living like this because I just simply can't walk out with mis-matched outfit. So tell me, how can I save money unless I go stark naked?

today i feel like killing max brenner too
Isn't it funny how Max Brenner doesn't always have hand-made chocolate for sale?
I thought they're supposed to be chocolate cafe or something along the line. It's so obviously when it's AFL grand final weekend, the whole Melbourne is flogged with in town so don't you want fricking business. At all? No? Too rich to even bother?
*long sigh*
I love chocolate and I really just can't let it go when they told me I can't have some. They won't have any stock in till November. Like wtf? I thought it's supposed to be never-ending flow of chocolate since it's not a seasonal thing like fruits. S was in Melbourne a few months back and the same thing happened.
So was it just me or does all chocolate shops operate that way? I sure have never encountered one before! It doesn't bother me for now because I have better chocolate (Godiva)in stock for my eating pleasure at the moment.
Speaking of chocolate, do give the yummylicious Starbucks Signature Hot Chocolate a go. It's heaven! Not for the faint heart though.

today i'm re-discovering my inner self
You know how I always do not know what I want apart from my love for shopping but when I woke up a few days ago, I finally knew somehow that I have to end my relationship with S.
The only problem is I do not know how to... And the fact that both W and S doesn't know that I'm seeing both of them con-currently. Yeah, I know I'm such a bitch but this is my life, even if it's fucked up. I do not know how my relationship with S turned that serious. I know that he is when he spent about $800 on buying me birthday gifts when he has never done so before to any of his ex girlfriends. Or when he told how he wants to impress me by having a successful career and he's speaking about the future. Our future.
I can't imagine parting with my lovely bag soon but such is life. You gotta do what you have gotta do.
I hope my I'll start building my career instead of fooling around when I start my new job. I really can't wait. After all, I'm not THAT young anymore. The older I get, the less accomplished I feel.
