Lo and behold, it is the day I have been waiting for 21 years of my life; My Graduation ceremony. As I stumble out of bed and peer out my balcony what do I see but a sky full of gloomy clouds threatening to release all its vapours into a full blown storm. Now why is that such an unwelcoming sight.
The entire week it has pretty much been bright and sunny with weather forecasts predicting showers but no, they only decide to pour down on this very merry day! Lets just hope that by the time I put on my gown and have photos taken it will be a clear sunny day. Please everyone pray for me? Its now time for me to fight battles with my wardrobe......Wish me luck

all

I am trying my best to keep this blog alive, however I have a sneaky feeling that any readers (or maybe no-readers) have decided to bail on my extremely boring blog. Well I don't blame them who would wanna read a blog that's not updated at all!
Exciting news for the week, our office has finally gotten new computers! Monday was extremely hectic cause Michael the computer guy was still setting everything up and we had to do everything manually. The power of computers, I think our lives totally depend on it now. So here I am sitting in front of my brand new Acer P4 complete with LCD monitor. How cool is that? It would be better though if they were black instead of white. Love those Dell ones. Only drawback with the new pcs, I can't seem to connect my Trillian or even MSN. Very frustrating because I am so used to clicking on the icon just to see who is online when I'm not too busy. Now I don't get to chat with my best buddy everyday....=(
Wayne Cooper didn't have much left at their sales, prolly cause their sizes were massive. I'm a size 0 or 6-8(Australian) and all they have were size 1s and 3s, I can fit two of me into 3s. Gets annoying at times when I can never find clothes. Was flipping though Cosmo the other day and saw these darling pair of Brazilian thongs over at Peter Alexander and only for $49.90! I'm so gonna get my hands on them, what more these thongs have a little bit of heels! Once I get them I'll prolly wear them everywhere. So that's first on my to buy list and the next is a YSL bag that I spotted in Marie Claire magazine, however thats for $500, if I get the bag I'll have to forgo part of the money I've been saving up for my KL trip. I'll prolly strike a deal with Fel in order to get that bag. What more I'm graduating this Friday so I need a present right? Haha...prolly go half half with him if he agrees so it wouldn't hurt my pocket too bag.
And if anyone was thinking, YES I am a complete sucker for bags, this year alone I've gotten myself a Fendi bag (left a burning mark in my pocket for about 2 months), a leather clutch, a leather slouch bag and a pink clutch bag my colleagues bought as my graduation present, last but not least a Prada purse. This all within a span of about 6 months. So if I DO get the YSL bag I would have 5 brand new bags this year. Someone please curb my bag addiction. At times I get level headed and think to myself why don't I just invest more for work clothes but each time I save up enough money I splurge big time. Take for example the pair of Bally's that I bought couple of months back, I've worn them in total less than 10 times and they are sitting pretty in my shoe rack. I really need help to stop myself from splurging....any volunteers?
Better get back to work now....toddles....

I wonder why it is that I can never find the time or rather can hardly be bothered to update my blog? Each and everyday I visit my all time fav blogsites but never use that time to update my own. Maybe I should be less hung up on other people's lives! But then again the grass is always greener on the other side right?
This week at work I've been chatting a far bit with Grace on msn. She's a really cool chic to share things with and someone who is extremely "REAL" in comparison to some of the people I have met or have read via blogs. Work is getting extremely hectic as we are trying to catch a deal with the newest luxury apartments in Sydney. My bosses have been thrown into a frenzy and we hardly ever see them, He comes in the morning for meetings and he's out before 12 on site and gets back to the office when we all leave. Same goes with the other two partners. However yesterday I had to call in a sickie. Fel had a bbq party for his college mates and some of our close friends (the story of which I would not publish here as I just find it way too lengthy to explain on a blog) It was in short a "not-so-terrific" barbie thanks to a certain group. I got up on Saturday morning feeling extremely nauseos and was this close vomitting everything I had in my tummy. Slept in and had lots of lemon mint tea and cleaned the whole house up, it was in such a horrible mess that I was this close to spewing and chucking a spaz.
However my sickie day turned out to be pretty good as Fel and I finally got to spend some real quality time together. The entire day we were recuperating in bed, cleaning, cooking and for the later bit of the night watching a VCD. I think its called Office a fairly new (or maybe I'm wrong here) cantonese movie that's got Hongkie actors such as Jordan Chan, Shu Qi and Karen Mok. It scared the wits out of Irene and half way through she said "I'm not watching this anymore!" She was also hugging on to Toshi and was sliding under the sofa. Was pretty funny but seriously Office is one of the scariest Chinese movie that I have seen, well not that I watch that many. Only problem was it was in Mandarin and we couldnt figure out why we couldn't get Cantonese, was pretty frustrating to watch them speaking in Mandarin.
Anyways, I think I better leave now, Fel is all ready and we're off to Wayne Cooper's warehouse sale! Lets just hope the good stuff are still there. I'm also gonna get a hair cut later on today....how exciting! (I know....its so sad that small things like these make me so happy but then again I hardly do things like these!) Wish me luck at the sale........
