i've been a hermit all week.

haven't gone out since tuesday, and no impetus to either.

i've kept myself sufficiently entertained with a slew of novels/magazines/style guides to read, i've got to improve on my kyodai mahjong skills, i've got to clear out this sem's clutter, i've got online shopping and blog hopping to do, but above all when i think about making the trip to town, when i think about making the journey there and back it puts me off.

i don't exactly live in the boondocks, but sort of near. i dislike crowds, and the humidity. that i'm tired by the time i reach my destination. i think i don't like orchard road anymore.

2 more papers to go!

my motivation to study has unfortunately dissipated

i have a sodding cold which kept my cranium clogged for a good half of the day

and i didn't do well for that long long essay i spent so much time and effort on.

(-) i am so bored of studying for monday's paper.
(-) i am bored and tired of studying in general, force feeding myself with copious amounts of information (of which a minute percent turns up in the exam) day after day is starting to feel like a meaningless routine.
(-) i hate critters!!


i am in need of some good food. something decadent, calorific and sweet.

first paper over, it was okay. a bit shaky, considering how i haven't taken a proper exam in a year. i had no exams in the states, coincidentally all the classes i took only required me to turn in final papers. i didn't choose them as such:p

i don't feel like studying anymore tonight but i have a paper on monday. hence the dawdling online.

a beautiful pair of earrings came in the mail today. i am going through my freshwater pearl phase right now...but i also love the sterling silver beadcaps that top each pearl. so exquisite. eyeing another pretty pair...sigh.

i just had a brainwave!!

baby blue eyeliner, perhaps juxtaposed with a dark eyeshadow (preferably in chocolate brown).

ok i was staring at a photo of keri russell who was featured in lucky magazine and they had this close up shot of her...she is just so amazingly pretty and her eyes were lined in violet.

tonight's rants are uncharacteristically frivolous.

i'm trying to peel myself away from kate spade's lovely 2008 organizer, telling myself that the USD20 price tag is not worth it.

i've also wandered over to the bag section where something lovely caught my eye. and then i told myself that the price tag (USD275) is too hefty for the material (oxford nylon trimmed with patent calfskin leather).

i hope my sensibility wins.
