some badass knickknacks

went shopping with ying today and really spent too much money on all sorts of unnecessary things but i guess that's the whole fun of shopping. so we went through the standard list of shops - dorothy perkins, topshop, miss selfridge, warehouse - and stared in awe at all the amazing things with equally amazing prices. and there was this pair of really cool sandals in warehouse that was completely out of my league. it kinda sucks when you don't have any spending power. and i really wonder what other people think when they overhear ying exclaiming "SHOE PORN!"

anyway, after gallivanting (extremely apt word, really) around raffles city we went to the central library to do our ge speech script (gah we don't have enough to talk about) and saw sugi at the 5th floor. and note that i said saw her. i was like windmilling my arms at her but because she was on the other side of a soundproof glass wall... she apparently didn't notice me. -.-

and so after rather unsuccessfully trying to work up a 10mins long script to talk about how being in sbge is different from mainstream, we gave up and went to marina sq :D again went through the same shops + mango + zara and got even more depressed. oh and thanks to my awesome spotting skills (ha.) we found a uk size 10 white zip tee dress or whatever it's called at miss selfridge. it's the one ying has been obssessing over and went all over the place looking for it and the dress was selling at some discounted price... and she didn't buy it -.- again, wasted opportunity you!

anyway then i don't know what happened but ended up at diva where there was an ongoing sales so gah bought lots of random stuff... and i ended up spending 30 dollars there -.-

i bought two rings (the red and black thing in the first picture is one of them) and one bracelet and i'm really in love with the ring in the picture above because even though i have no idea what animal creature that is, it's probably the closest thing i can get to an ouroboros ring. that's basically a snake eating it's tail ring, and if you've read the wheel of time series by robert jordan then you'll know of that amazing aes sedai ring which is just that. but the official ring is kinda... gross cause it's just one think band and completely boring.

those sure look bloody awesome yeh? honestly, i wouldn't mind acquiring some snake rings because me = fan of snape = slytherin = snakes and silver (house colour) so yeah :/ wonder where i can find them. (other than that one in diva which i will get once ying produces more of those little rectangular pieces of miracles known as discount vouchers)

and that is a ring pretending to be a earring... or a earring pretending to be a ring. i'm not sure what it is but ying calls it a mimicking ear so.. yeah. anyway it's kinda fun though i have no idea how i'm gonna wear that without the random hanging stuff getting hooked onto all sorts of things (and consequently wrenching my highly treasured middle finger out).

so all in all, quite a productive trip if you ignore the fact that zero work was completed. oh and i forgot. i brought ying to that really cool shop at raffles city that jo and i found the other time and it was so fun to see her in so much pain (*grins*) trying to decide what to spend her limited amount of money on. in the end she got this heart + key long necklace and i spent another 17dollars on a bracelet ($.$)

and i don't think i would have blogged this had i found the book i wanted at the library. instead, i would be happily reading the book and not killing my eyesight looking at the blinking screen. so whoever managed to snatch the book (red seas under red skies by scott lynch) in the few hours i took to get to the library, gahhh you have no idea how much pain you have just put me through! D:

goshies. what a long post :/
