For the new year|鼠於自己的年

i shopped at the very last minute, glimpsed through everything and left empty-handed cos i wasn't interested. But there were a few brands which caught my attention.. maybe I'll go back again after the new year, after my major viva on wednesday. First, there was 'The Box' which had outlets at Isetan and standalone stores at Far east and bugis... I loved the checked shirts which looked both rugged and sweet... I've always loved checked shirts esp those of the opposite sex cos i think they looked cool.. but I'm not sure if they'll work on me. Second is the 'Litmus', a clothings brand whose clothes looked over-priced, for the extremely simple and cherrful designs of t-shirts, shirts and their newly added line of dresses... I loved how the shirts were designed, the match of simple floral prints with lines and again.. checks hahaaaa. And the best is that there are matching pieces for both the guy and girl sections... one day I'll buy those when i have found my other half.. if(and force him to wear it). They are so laid back, smart casual, suitable for a walk out on the beach type of clothes. but of cos, this is by no means a hint of what I would like to do on a date.. God knows what i would like to do on a date.


And since it's nearing the time of the month, and no, i dun mean time of the month the gals way, but, actually, Valentine's day, 14 feb issit? The day when streets will be coloured with red hearts, people will be walking with blushing pink faces and hands holding and love is in the air (or love is simply the air)... it's too bad i'll have to give valentine's day this year a miss as i am sadly still single, at least happily single. And looking at how lovely my cousin was yesterday, when i came home from work to a house full of guests and met my cousin's girl friend... I wonder how is it like if I had to do what she, and most girlfriends do on new year's day.. meeting the parents, relatives and soaking into the family culture. But anyway, they look so cute tog when my cousin tried to tighten the heels for his girlfriend... and to hear that they met since kindergarten.. wow.


So. I guess I have a normal 14 feb this year, working in the day time and perhaps, walk around abit after work at night since it is one day after my viva, and soak up the festive season of love.


Reading the CLEO magazine this month is so ... erm... everything is about valentines, about guys, about clothes and stuffs.. I finally understand now, how you really have to dress up for a date and stuff.. i mean, all the planning and preparation.. i used to believe that as long as you are both comfortable with each other and enjoying the companion that will be enough already.. but i guess there must be a role for the dressing up and preparation part, 生活情绪？ And i can't deny that good-looking guys do catch my attention more... especially guys with stylish and neat hairstyles, they grab my attention at the speed of light.. hahaahaaa. But, how often do our other half turn out to be the way we fantasise about? At the end of the day, i guess, some other qualities beneath the skin must match before we say our.. I dos.
