Seeing a lot of nice shoes around and I am envious. I think I am going to have to start the cycle already, which is kind of sad and somewhat stressful. Oh wells, I don’t have much choice because I definitely don’t have the money to continue buying so often.

I need to buy insoles, because my flats are way too flat. I bought mink oil yesterday. It’s like kiwi neutral polish minus the smell. Hopefully there will be no more blisters after this.

The environment is interesting and the people are so funny. But no matter what, it is still kind of scary. I wanted to say “what’s more, it is a different place”, but while typing that I realise that maybe no, if it was the same, it would be scarier. Yes, no? I have no idea.

Still hating the adult fare, because it is really sucking away all my money that can be better spent on much nicer stuff.

I look so old today, alamak. The shirt is nice, but doesn’t suit me. Sad.

Sometimes, people are put in difficult positions, where it really seems like nothing can be done. Like, what can you do about it? Taking action might further agitate others and make the situation you’re facing worse. Not taking action is simply wrong totally unfair to you. Then what? The only idea I can think of it to talk, but I am sceptical about the effect it would have. When a perception exists and such a situation has already arisen, then I wonder how effective will the talk be. Probably not very?

Is it time I started again? My perseverance is so pathetic. Or maybe I’m just selfish and can’t be bothered. Everyone is selfish to some extent, I believe, though there are indeed acquaintances that might be able to challenge this. Note that I said acquaintances.

When do you who and when do you use that? That for collective noun? Because I used who and then Word corrected me. Only people who OR that are suitably qualified will be chosen. Hm.

The past week has been interesting. Spent Sunday with the ploty people. Went to sing and had dinner and icecream. I really went broke, but the food was not bad and the company was awesome. The company on Monday was equally awesome. Sqdms planned to go to pitstop and we ended up at some Jap restaurant. The food was good and the servings were large and the price (though expensive for me) could be considered reasonable for a restaurant I guess. Walked by the river for a bit and we sat down at some stairs. I happened to be walking at the back with melia and hong so I knew about the cake. And yup, they were so long and it was kind of funny.

Ah, it is such a pity that we all had to leave early. It would be so awesome if we could have stayed out late. To sit by the river and talk. All the way into the night, as the place clears. How romantic (: But that will probably only happen only if we can stay over at someone’s one, hinthint.

I need to get out of my comfort zone.

Laughter is the best medicine.

Waiting for the ‘day’ to be over.
