perhaps i've got the excessive adrenaline while desperately trying to finish a reflection journal due 1 feb, 2359. i finally submitted the journal at 2345. great. heck, i wasn't even reflecting!
i've received quite a number of negative vibes from people around me, including myself. why, year 2008 didn't start the way as smoothly as i thought it could be.
on a positive note, we are gathering strength from setbacks. we'll fight on :) it's always great to have friends supporting you along the way - for that, i'm thankful.

chinese new year is round the corner (*gasp, it's february already!) and i've prepared absolutely nothing. chinese new year no longer excites me like how it did when i was a child. i'm less obsessed with the thought of wearing everything (i mean everything) new.
thinking of which, chinese new year has always prove to be a fashion disaster to me. i mean, how on earth to get clothes you fancy and wearable within that short 1/2 days of shopping? the random mix-and-matches always fail me. sigh. thus explain why most of my cny clothes never see light after new year.
3 years ago, i wore these:
a Giordano denim jacket (which i set my eye on for days, thinking whether to get it or not 'cause it was nearing 50 bucks *if i'm not wrong*) + a "Maui Princess" spaghetti top in white + multi-function skirt from FEP + red beaded necklace from Hula & Co. BAHHHHH.
2 years ago, i wore these:
brown blazer + 77th street top (30 bucks i suppose) + Joop brown skirt (40 over dollars i think! a stupid brown frilly skirt!) + random bead necklace i bought from NTU bazaar. 75% of them never see light again. (my mj friends: i still love the blazer, please do not be misunderstood, if you were)
last year, i wore these:
i really don't know what's wrong with me. i ended up tearing the black bow and laces and wore it as a silver based pumps for an event (which was MONTHS later). i went on to tear it even further to a white (in fact, off white 'cause it was dirty after the months) pair of pumps. that lasted me for quite some time.
believe me, these are the more "see-able" pics already. the others (strangely, we take less pics during cny gatherings.. must be too busy gambling), as i browsed through my picture folder. goodness. i would have deleted it if it doesn't contain memories.
i guess the worst was quite a few years back. i remember vividly that i wore something really ridiculous. a blue blouse + a really loose wrap denim skirt kind of thing. i even had a BLUE hairclip to go with. damn, i still thought i looked really preppy to be a teacher-like image then.
damn, no wonder i'm still single. i'm such a weirdo oh my goodness! -_- hopefully this year, less enthusiasm for cny shopping would help *cross fingers*.
i'm posting these up because i reckon sometimes, you need someone to ridicule at. i can't fathom myself (then) either.
p/s: great, it's 3:32 am now. night world.
