New shoes and new nail polish

Yesterday had another quarrel with Dear because he was habitually late. My point is that he shouldn't have arranged to meet when he can't make it and end up have to extend/postpone the meeting time 10 by 10 minutes. Let me stress this: asking someone to wait 30 minutes in a shopping mall is not as bad as calling/sms-ing 3 times of "please wait another 10 minutes". In case some people still don't get it, here's how it works: if I know I were to wait 30 minutes (and that he doesn't fully stick to it, meaning I will have about 40 minutes in a block) I would have shopped around; but not knowing how many bloks of 10 minutes he will be late, I will probably want to save him the trouble of figuring out where I am, and I will just be nice to stand in one spot and wait for him (unappreciatively) to appear... And he actually took me to a restaurant, ordered hot tea for both of us, and I was ranting about feeling moody about his being late, and he just walked off, telling me to eat by myself, without paying for the tea! So I sms-ed him to come back, that I have no money and he is ungentlemanly to leave me stuck to "Wash dishes" for HIS drink, he did return after 30 minutes (see, wasted so much time in a day)... Ok, just my grouses! NEXT!~

After that I went to IMM (late) to meet up with Kat and Yat for shopping and dinner before Gamelan. Kat bought quite a lot of tidbits at Daiso. I bought myself a new pair of MONDO shoes at only S$9.90. They are blue in colour, much like turquiose, and I felt like buying something else to match it since that is not too common a colour. Wanted to buy some funky colour dress, but nothing cheap enough for me to slurge and just fun to have kind of price, so I kind of feel like buying turquiose nail polish.

Walked past The Face Shop... HEY! Sale! $2.90 each, choose choose try try, Kat applied to show me those I feel like testing as I have my dropping off pink colour on, then I decided to clean off my own and try on my own hands. After many trials and testing, thinking and considering, I bought two colour: a dark pink and a metallic maroon. Almost wanted to paint the maroon (which is outrageous for me who always wears pinkish or transparent) to school, but figured out it might be too "dangerous" since there is meeting today and I'll b in school quite long.

(Four of the colours that I tried)

(I just did this as I typed this entry, not too bad I hope, unless someone volunteers to do manicure for free... I am going to train Dear to do it for me during the holidays)

After all the shopping, the three musketeers went to makan at Secret Recipe. After skipping lunch and feeling happy about shopping, food tastes quite nice, especially the cakes. During dessert, I received a call for gig, quite cheap and I kind of regretted taking it up since no incentive for a huge instrument (yangqin) like mine, needing to foot extra cost to get transport. Just in case people are interested (hopefully I am not revealing confidential info as some musicians like to claim), it's S$60 for a 30 min slot. There are times I get S$250 for 20 min plus transport claim and bonus in a angbao. Those were the good times...

Then it's Gamelan plink plonking.

Wish List for Dear (or any lovingly nice friend) to fulfill:

1. Seashell bracelet

2. Chomel necklace (the $16 one with butterfly flat paper-cut like pendant I saw when I went shopping with Eileen the week Dear ignore me)

3. A camera better than my dimage Z1 3.2 mega pixels

4. A handphone (haven't decide which model but preferably one with 5 mega pixel camera and MP3)
