I thought we would be together forever.
Nothing's changed except that I now live in heartbreak.

I admit
Okay fine, it doesn't stop at the shoes.
I really like bags too!! Isn't it surprising that I can relate to shallow obsessing too? Hee, had to safeguard my non-bimbo reputation. Anyways fawning over bags will just give me more chances to exercise my vocabulary. Rusty English is not attractive and no bag or shoe is going to help you with that.
Marc Jacobs (By the way I love his shoes), Chloe Paddington, Bottega Venata......
Why do they have to cost hundreds of pounds? (Which translates into thousands of dollars, btw)
Imagine being on the waiting list for a Hermes bag. That means you'll be about 10 years older when you finally get your hands on your bag. It might be way out of fashion by then, who knows?
Anyway, it really boosts my ego when the Anya Hindmarch Pipa bag I was drooling over was just acknowledged for its beauty at Purseblog.com. How's that for taste? =D
Since I'm on the topic of bags, the Fendi Spy bag is seriously being exploited by a certain Singapore brand. Ooooh can you hear the gasps? Sure, imitation branded bags are everywhere and especially cheap in China, etc. But a Singapore brand well-known enough to be a household name? Quite exasperating. It makes you think if the other, if not all, products they offer are simply copies of another person's hard work.
Are you guys staying up? It's 初一! So here's wishing you a Happy Chinese New Year!

Chanel knows her stuff
I don't look the part but I'm quite a sucker for shoes.
If I went shopping more often, I would have many many more shoes than I do now. I always have to stop myself from buying more because the occasion hardly calls for it. I really love how tweed is used on shoes. Now only if people weren't so good at grabbing the shoes I want, leaving none for me!

What Gets You Going
I think 'motivation' has a positive connotation. But honestly, I think in life, motivation works the best out of bitterness. Or Anger. Isn't it? How many times do you find yourself motivated positively?
Once I was motivated 'positively', was when I was studying with Manda and Rachel for our O level exams. Them being hardworking was a powerful influence. But, why I was studying so hard for A Math (other than the fact that I always fail it terribly), was that my A Math teacher and Vice Principal once approached me to 'advise' that I drop the subject. I understood that my grades was 'beyond help' and it would require a miracle for salvation. And then I was asked, "What is your goal for A Maths?"
"I just want to pass?"
My statement must have sounded like "I'm rich and I will give you $10K," because suddenly their faces were awash with hope and they 'stretched out their arms' to me. I was surprised by their reaction and later, disappointed and angry. What's that supposed to mean? From what I gathered, if I had aimed for something like a B (which is as possible as I am Jesus) they would still 'advise' that I drop the subject. I'm not good at Math, neither was I bad. I got a B3 I believe. For A Math, I had a special problem for my A Math teacher was my instant lullaby. I could be bouncing off walls in class and the minute she walks in and starts her lesson, I'm out like a light. However I was taught trigonometry and integration by my brother and thereon, I rarely got a trigonometry or integration question wrong. Aha!
I wouldn't go as far as to put the blame on her but the way she teaches just doesn't work for me. I tried to keep awake in class, believe me. In fact, I tried so hard that I ended up sleeping with my eyes open, just ask my class. The newfound mutant power simply gave me chances to sleep in other classes. Sigh. But back to the point, it felt like they gave up on me when I felt it wasn't entirely my fault and when they see that my aim is so low, they must have been thinking they could achieve that.
In the end, I never sought any help from my A Math teacher and instead, found motivation from Manda and Rachel. And my hard work paid off. I got an embarrassing C6, but I passed and it was a incredible improvement from my usual F9s and occasional E8s.
Still, the core motivation came from a not-so-pleasant situation. Isn't it true of many other cases as well? It's common that you hear of a plump lady who works hard to slim down after being victim of cruel words or harsh rejections.
Motivational quotes? Pssh. Works as well as Windows.
