new addiction

i think i can't get enough of online stores. especially those that don't bring in all their wonderful stuff from the US/UK. which will probably cost doubly more by the time they import it here. 

but just browsing through Victoria's Secret's clothes line (not the lingerie) is sufficient for me to calculate the feasibility of ordering a few of their items. is it worth the shipping costs? i've already been quite tempted by 3 tops. hee.

though i can't try them on, online stores usually give a good enough idea of each article's measurements, though of course i constantly need to remember that i'm usually much smaller than the models that are pictured :P nevertheless, the clothes are so irresistible!! 

hmmm...shall i or shall i not? that is the question...

hormone laden verbal diarrhea

i'm cranky, tired, sleepy, hormonal, sinus-y, grouchy and grumpy. 

which equates to me needing to 

have sufficient rest to sleep, not be stressed about the work awaiting me from now till dec 11, have me-time to do things i wanna do before i explode and wanting to go for my cell's batam trip this instant. 

*bleah* in realizing i'm actually dreading something that's dance-related, it very probably means i'm getting highly stressed :( 

i want to cook, bake, scrap-book, shop, hang out at the beach, picnic. or not do anything. just walk through nature and not have to think. 

as a student i hated this time of the year cuz of exams. as a working adult, i still hate this time of the year cuz of its activity packed tendencies.

nonetheless, i shall give thanks. especially when Daddy granted a very blessed time with a dancer at ikea over brunch, and to see how talented some of the volunteers for 'The Promise' musical are. being not musically inclined, i'm always very amazed to hear people sing on pitch and sing well, with emotion and emphasis at the right moments. 

my new online discovery: www.onlyshop.co.uk 

i love their clothes la! i just wish it was based in the US, so i wouldn't hesitate so much in wanting to buy their clothes. 

what i wouldn't do for a day to rot at the beach, have waffle and ice cream @ daily scoop, spend time with God at some coffee joint and feast on Coffee Bean's Ceasar salad, catch the sunset with hubby2be and not have to rush through any of those. (:

oh yes, prayer request!!! the flat we balloted for in j. west-our ballot no. lies outside the available no. of flats. this means we'll only be informed if the ethnic quota fills up or if ppl don't want the flats. So pray that either of that happens! :P we really really really really really really really want the place. did mention that we really want it? hee. would definitely appreciate prayers for that.

it's past midnight! time to zzzzzzzzzz.......night Daddy...night world. 

friday

so glad to have been able to get some me-time today.

got up at a luxurious 9am, much rested than the past few nights. i think just knowing i don't have to rush off to a day's full of work helped my sleep.

after breakfast and newspapers, i headed off to the pool *beams* it was so shiok!! the sun hanging overhead kissed my skin as i lounged alone by the water, allowing the suntan oil do its work. when the occiasional dark cloud moved close, i'd look up and grumble at it to go away. the winds eventually shoo-ed most of the dark clouds away. and i must say, swimming in the cold water was bliss after soaking in the sun. (:

wolfing down grandma's lunch by the tv later on reminded me of secondary school days when i would do just that, and tv-ed the rest of my day away. haha.

hastily made the oreo base of a potential mudpie for the dancers tomorrow and had to rush off for dg. in fact i was late :P time management didn't work out the way i wanted it to be. heh. so anyway, i'm here blogging in school (NUS) cuz the agenda for today's dg is for the girls to spend time with Abba. i shall go bury my head in 'Knowing the Heart of the Father' while they do that.

and i'm looking forward to dinner with hubby2be later! (: been so busy that we've had hardly any quality time together this week.

*tired*

i'm sooooooooo tired... the week's long nights and dance practices have taken a toll on my body. i desperately want to head home and collapse into bed, but a meeting that i can't get out of awaits my arrival in about an hour's time. what's more uninteresting is that i'm there cuz i'm representing my colleagues who are overseas. *sigh*

i hear my bed calling me. :P

but well, as i browsed through friends' blogs just now, a girlfriend lamented on how the world seems to have come to a standstill cuz no one's blogging. maybe cuz everyone's really busy in Nov. i know my schedule's packed like mad for this month. i'm really looking forward to the staff summit in a couple of weeks, and the pool and (hopefully) spa/massage there (; i need the rest man. actually, i think i just want to 'nua'. anyone wanna go beach with me? beached whale. hahaha. ok, i'm officially cranky due to lack of rest. 

a quick update as to why i'm so busy (and i haven't gotten near to writing my newsletter!! :( ) i'm preparing for 2 dance items (workwise)-one's for department's fund raiser in dec and the other, a band's gig in jb nearer x'mas. it's pretty cool cuz these were upon request. and there's the 'Promise' musical that's drawing closer end of this month. it's been fun, though i wish i don't get reminded of my age when the muscles cry for mercy after a few hours of dancing. :P

okies, gotta run...hope to blog again soon...
