So not worth it
To find and snip off that annoying short spurty growth of a strand of white hair, i sacrificed six strands of perfectly normal black hair ):

Coz i couldn't find anyone else online to ask, i resorted to Jon despite him being on MSN on iPhone which made it relatively dificult for him to view the images that i wanted his advice on. Before you read on, i must say that Jon is one of the few guys whom i trust when it comes to fashion and my hesitance to seek his opinion this time was due to my own doubt of his ability to view the pictures from his iPhone, as he has packed his Mac in.

Coz i have no one else to ask now... if you can see them, grey or black?
moist. says:

But if you have to choose a colour?
moist. says:
Grey cos you have too many blacks

I like ur reasoning
I had came to the same conclusion myself, to get grey coz i have been getting black and more black dresses with navy blue coming a close second but had needed another's reaffirmation before i proceeded to confirm.

I need a massage, that much is clear.
First the left and now the right now and you know what's the ultimate? The muscle relexant isn't effective anymore and making things worse coz my limbs felt like being stuck in a limbo (pun unintended) as they border between being strained tight and loose.
So it'pretty obvious that i need a massage to knead all the kinks and knots out of the upper body now coz it seems to be only way out ):
current mood:  uncomfortable

For some reason, i didn't sleep well last night and woke up feeling achy and unrested. It didn't help that i had colleagues bugging me for this and that bright early in the day which triggered the Oscar the Grouch within me and i was all snappish and cranky. As if that wasn't bad enough, the ache got progressively worse and towards noon time, a colleague offered to massage my shoulders in an attempt to alleviate the pain and found out that i had a huge lump on the left shoulder, thereby explaining the pain. By then, i was all exhausted and drained from concentrating at work and ignoring the nagging pain.
Despite the pain, i must say that i have been pretty productive today though it probably should be the case since it's the last lap and i must cheong and get it over and done with soon. I was sorely, pun unintended, tempted to just give the trip out a miss again and heaven knows i have a valid reason this time. But i hung on and sorta forced myself to get as much done as i could and haul myself out to the library first and then to Vivocity which had been the subject of my procrastination for so darn long.
It was a somewhat fruitful trip coz i picked up masks from TFS, a faux wooden hairband and beaded necklace from Diva and dark chocolate Kit Kat and a waffle chips from Candy Empire, with dinner at Akashi to wash everything down. It was, however, disappointing that i could find any nice Hawaiian/resort-y flower from F21 or Diva to go with my Cotton On dress for the D&D next week. Of coz, i still have a couple of days more to scour for one since i need to get a short petticoat for the dress too but well, at the rate that my body is protesting, i'm trying my best to hang on in there till then. Probably to rest over the weekend and then it will be one appointment after another next week, scheduling shopping for D&D items, dinner with JTLS (maybe), pedicure, dinner with Jon and D&D for the five work days next week.
That said, i gotta remember to send my suit for drycleaning and throw some stuff in tomorrow or Sunday at least. Then come next week, to print out whatever stuff that i have not printed out and start packing or else it's gonna be too late. Sigh.
current mood: drained

江山易改, 本性難移
A leopard never changes its spots.
Ever a dreamer, always a dreamer; that's how he was, is and will be and i just gotta accept that as a fact. What was i thinking to expect him to get real and stop being the dreamer that he is and likely to be in the future. I learnt to let him be and let life teach him the lesson he oughta learn. Whether it is the hard way or not, why bother as it's his choice to make and his to bear.

Assumptions and stereotyping
I was out with the ex-colleagues for dim sum dinner at Sims Avenue / Geylang earlier and while on the way to collect the car, we were walking down a stretch of shops along the Geylang side of the street.
There was one guy whom i shall name as CS among the other two of us women folk and he was walking in front of us, with me being in the middle and the older female ex-colleague whom i shall name as CT behind me. Midway through as we were passing by a erm, supposed KTV joint, a bunch of men dressed in tees and sports shorts/berms came out from another street and cut into my path. Hence it was CS, a couple of men part one, me, CT and a couple of men part two. I was kinda taken aback when the couple of men part one cut through but not unduly afraid, honestly. I mean we were in SG after all and surrounded with people, so what's there to be afraid of. But anyway i digressed.
What i was trying to say was that i observed the couple of men part one when they came into the path before me and i, to my embarrassment, assumed that they were from China based on their looks and attire alone. They were all tanned and erm, cheena looking and i thought i heard them speaking Mandarin. It didn't help that the men and ladies out there were all doing their 'jobs' when the men walked past whereas they ignored my guy ex-colleague in shirt and pants. So while we were all walking along, i had my blank aka black face on and kept turning back to make sure that CT was behind me. Until we reached a traffic junction and CS stopped and turned back to check on us and the couple of men part one stopped too and started converse in English (proper, not the cmi cheena or accented English) that i realised i assumed wrong: i had stereotyped and branded them based on superficial factors alone which wasn't all that smart of me.
As we were waiting for the traffic light to change and cross the road, it dawned upon me that those men could jolly be into some sports or sportsmen representing for that matter. Or even, as i think of it now, in the military, which could be a plausible explanation for their appearances. So what i am trying to say here was that i admit that i was guilty of judging a person, or in this instance, persons by their appearance which affected my first impressions of them, thinking lesser of what they deserve had i known or again, in this instance, heard of the truth earlier. And to think i probably had my fair share of disdain targeted at me when i walk down the streets with my short, ultra toot bob of a haircut back then or even now. I prolly won't like to be thought the same as i thought of those men so it's a case of do unto others what you want them to do to you.
The only consolation was that i wasn't the only one to come up with that assumption coz CT shared the same sentiments as well. Both of us thought that the couple of men part one and two were foreigners until we heard them talk. I guess being in the red light district and surrounded by men (and ladies) made us more wary and blinded us to reality.
Or maybe i am just a superficial person so sue me, lah!

All while in the library
Here I am at the Queenstown library again waiting for the company to come pick me up to 126 for dim sum again :p
Ooh I am liking the baby pink Salvatore Ferragamo flats featured in the September issue of Marie Claire too.
[ETA]: Plus the Hermes Rose Gold Twist too.

And i tell myself to hang on in there
Using rain as an excuse, i procrastinated on going to Vivocity again. But seriously, i need to go in search of that flower clip or hairband or at least a hat to go with my outfit and also a pair of safety shorts or petticoat to go with the Cotton On sundress that i got in HK earlier this year. Who's to know that the dress would come in handy eventually, when it was all but an impulse purchase since Cotton On in HK isn't exactly cheaper compared to SG.
Talking about Cotton On, i spotted a long top when i was in PS last Friday but did not try it coz it was pretty late after the show and both RT and YC were with me and we haven't had dinner then yet. So a listing of where i should be going and (wanna go) that includes F21, Peddar Red, G2000, Tangs, Cotton On, 77th Street, KS, Mango, Zara and err Mustafa too.
Did i mention that i was 'arrowed' to be in the SRC? I had literally no say in the matter and couldn't refuse the 'nomination' at all coz it was a chopped-sealed-confirmed deal by the time i got to know about it. And this is one of the few reasons why i am on the road to burnout, really.

There's always a first time
I nearly had the fright of my life when the KOSE Mask White that i was using pulled out some bits of my brows. Thank goodness i thought to go wash it off instead of peeling the mask off, or else i prolly need to take leave and stay at home till the brows grow out! Idiocy is me really.

A somewhat quality nap
I had a proper nap today, like finally, after a long long while. A nap that involved me falling asleep coz i was really really tired and not due to any side effects of medication i took. Not that i don't need it but well, i tried to do without where possible, when the symptoms are relatively mild and i *think* can get through the day without it.
So what if the nap wasn't all that dream-free but well, at least it was a dream and not a nightmare to haunt my senses. I ain't greedy so a self-induced by exhaustion nap is good enough.
current mood: lethargic
