that's what i get...

it only happens whenever i start reading shopaholic.
those who have read the book,
dun u just have this urge to be becky bloomwood?
from the fabulous clothes, to her ultra-cool personal shopper job,
and those shoppings at barneys, and of course, to have someone as loving as luke.
(maybe i'll pass on her credit card bills)
call me slow, but before i read this book,
the only barney i knew was the big purple dinosaur on kids central.
i wonder what its really like to shop there.
its not only shopaholic, but many other books i've read,
especially those that are based in england,
they talk about barneys like its some really really fantastic shop,
andd its one of those things that are under the list of things-to-do-before-i-die.
hmm..maybe i should put that under my list of things to do as well.
could shopping at barneys really be every girl's dream?

anyway, i'm telling you its influence from shopaholic.
that's why i wanna get my hands on every single thing i saw in the newspapers today.
this is very bad timing because the IT fair just launched today,
andd i have many many things i wanna get.
the worst part is,
a camera which costs $500 used to be so expensive to me,
but after reading shopaholic,
i tend to compare my spending with hers.
and mine's just peanuts,
so somewhere at the back of my mind,
something's telling me,
"oh its okay. its just $500. think of becky, she spends like few Ks a day,
andd she's still doing fine"
but i'm forgetting something very important.
I'M STILL A STUDENT,
she's a working adult
(with an extremely rich husband to back her up)

-sigh-
that doesn't stop me from still wanting to get that camera!
andd a cd player.
block tests are coming up in a week.
feeling very moody by just thinking about it.
i'm more focused on what i'm gonna do after exams.
i have so many places i wanna go to!
i haven't shopped for ages
(and reading shopaholic is pure temptation)

ohh yeah, there seems to be this huge emphasis on travelling all of a sudden.
as i flip through the newspapers today,
its just travel agents and more travel agents.
BUT, they often feature some special places to go to.
like today was New Zeland and some place in venice or something.
denn it hit me.
i wanted to travel the world!
of course i've wanted to travel the world before,
but now i wanna go to everyy single tiny town and country-side.
but i guess its wishful thinking.
firstly,
there's no way i cann earn THAT much to travel the world,
plus even if i do have the financial ability.
its gonna take me more than my entire lifetime to travel the world!

SO i'm narrowing down my wants.
i jus wanna travel to major parts of the world.
like every single capital city and state.
i can't even say i've travelled to every country within asia.
right now i'm thinking of going to San Francisco,
last week i was thinking New York.
maybe tomorrow it'll be someplace else.
its amazing to think how BIG this world is.
andd so many things to see, learn and do.
(and shop)
this brings me back to becky bloomwood.
she went on a year-long honeymoon!!!
you know wad, IF i ever get to do that,
it'll not be just a year, it'll be 3 years!
sheesh, thinking of the amount of $ i need just scares me.
maybe it'll be in millions or zillions.
ohh well, hope and pray that i win some millon-dollars lucky draw.
or maybe OCBC or UOB decides to sponsor me or something.
or perhaps i could be really lucky andd inherit some genuine gold bars or ancient artefact from a long-lost uncle who was once an archaelogist(like indiana jones)
keep wishing hard, viv!

tmr is the release of A levels results.
andd im so affected by it because it means my chinese results are coming back too!
I JUST WANT TO PASS!
i dun wanna take chinese anymore!!
in fact, i've hardly touched or seen chinese ever since the exam.
andd over my dead body am i going back to chinese lessons.
PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE JUST let me pass!
-fingers are crossed so hard they're nearly knotted together-

ahh well, back to boring homework.
