Sooo…. D&G at Mandarin Gallery is closing in July so they’re having a 60% off sale on selected items. Looks like I got a new school bag!
Understated, no hugeass logo/design that can be recognised miles away, excellent sized, beautiful quilting, lovely colour combination and…. it was 60% off.
Good thing Balenciaga was closed when I visited the shop or I never would’ve gotten my hands on this baby.

BU

I’m scared. I’m so fucking scared.

If I go to BU, that’s about SGD350,000 for four years. Sure, my family can afford it now but what if we can’t a few months or years down the road? That’s a lot of money!

I’m so glad that I got into a reputable school despite my shitass final grades but at the same time, I can’t help but feel so stupid. I’m not in the top 5% of my graduating class, my SAT score isn’t anywhere close to being near the average of 2050 or something, and I’m definitely not a straight A/A- student. If I go to BU, I’m going to feel so stupid. Everyone there seems to be so motivated and know what they want to do in their future.

I don’t know what I want to do?! I just know that I want my schooling experience to be as long as possible before I have to face reality.

It’s a lot of money. It’s a lot of pressure.

I WANT to go to BU but I’m just so scared of never being good enough; of just being one of the faces in the crowd.

The future is scary. The future is exciting. The future is inevitable.

I’m watching a Michael Moore documentary now and I’m wondering…. why the heck am I working in a bank? Why do I want to go to America? Why do I want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on an education there that I may never have the opportunity to pay my parents back for? Why don’t I just stay in Singapore? A country that’s one of the safest in the world. So clean, so peaceful, cheap and excellent education, convenience, good food, high standards of living, relatively friendly people…

I don’t know… there’ just something missing in Singapore that I can only find in the states.

It feels like…

Hope.

Such wonderful, beautiful people.

Awkward moment #2

Sooooo I got an email from kepris today saying that the turnlock on the alexa I ordered just fell off this morning and they’ll be refunding me by the end of the week. I’m telling you, it’s a bloody sign. Some higher being is telling me not to buy a bag…. FINE.

HAH, well this is awkward?

Soooooo I didn’t get the PS1 tote OR the Bayswater in the end! Decided that the Bayswater just wasn’t my style and the tote was overpriced (thank goodness Reebonz let me cancel the order). SO I decided on getting the oversized Alexa in the end because it’s really the most ‘me’… so yeah…. I ended up getting bag I wanted in the first place. Took me a bloody month to decide… Oh well, at least it was on sale!

Trying on the Chanel lip pencil and lipstick. I like the lip pencil so much that I use it as an eyeliner as well…

Met up with Rachel, Serena, Reggie and Zech tonight at indochine! the drinks were average but the vietnamese spring rolls and fries there are SO GOOD! T’was nice catching up with old friends and getting to feel young again. Took the bus to Jelita where I bumped into some old primary school friends of mine. AWKWARD. Only one of them talked to me while the other two were awkward and laughing among themselves. Odd since three of them used to be a few of my closest friends when we were kids and one of them had a crush on me for like four years. Awkward. Awkward. Awkward.
