2 days worth of rambles
“Waiting is painfulForgetting is painful
But not knowing which to do
Is the worst kind of suffering ”
Forgetting is painful.
It is an uphill struggle, of perseverance, of ignoring the temptation to go back.
But once you reach the peak, everything seems easier, and you are more willing to let go, and look ahead.
That is also when you have forgotten.
Almost.
Ray: If u are single in 3 years time, I’ll consider going after u.
: Why 3 years?
Ray: U are still young, I’ll give u 3 years to look around…
Oh but that is of course, if I am still single!
How assuring!
Had such a weird dream just before I woke up. Dreamt of a neglected tomato, camping, rival groups, colleagues, traveling, dormitories, walking around this wall in some strange city (I’ve dreamt of this wall before), packing, flying, insufficient luggage space.
I woke up this morning aching. Back, shoulders, butt, legs, I still can’t seem to lock my ankles en pointe. Apparently I could break my ankles some day if I don’t lock them.
Started watching Initial D anime. Courtesy of Guofeng. However, its too tiring to read the Chinese subtitles… and when I focus so much on those subtitles, I don’t watch the rest of the screen! Yeah, I use to watch Love Generation, also subtitles in Chinese, more than once. Thank goodness Naruto is English subtitled!
Shopping
I never shopped much when I was younger. Simply, lack of purchasing power. I don’t understand why women could just buy and buy. Perhaps, I do now.
It’s a vicious cycle, really. Once you start, you just want more. Last week, I finally got a bottle of Kenzo Flower. This week, I am thinking of also getting Anna Sui’s Wish (Wishes?) I just bought another bag. My mum had the most disagreeable expression when she knew about it. But hey, really, one can never have too many bags or shoes, or accessories or… The truth is, I think bags could be my weakness. I know a guy who has this same weakness too. He has bags for diving, for blading, for short travels, longer travels etc etc … I hope the day never comes, when I start collecting boxes of LV, Burberry and such. (Actually, I think I am the kind who will be more into Eagle Creek than LV...) That’s way too beyond budget. I know a girl who has such a weakness. I believe her when she tells me about her collection of LV and Burberrys… high maintenance.
My niece could well be a baggie when she grows up. She started young. A bag for Chinese tuition, English tuition, maths tuition, science tuition, ballet and school. And in each of her tuition bag, is an entire set of stationary, so that she never needs to pack them!
Yesterday, I saw a dark purple Nike sling bag. It was so pretty! But so expensive too. Had to divert my attention from it. Think of all the sweat shops and exploited child labor. The money you pay goes more to the branding, the already rich corporate kids in suits than these overworked people.
Truth is, I am still thinking about it.
The bag.
