Nubuck and me

So anyway, while I was shoe browsing, I came across a topic on cleaning and pre-treating leather products. What? Really? And at the risk of making a fool out of myself and sounding like an absolute bimbo… aren’t cows and pigs like water proof animals?? I know my leather stuff always come with that leather care guidance card, but I never gave much thought to it. Oh god, I feel as though I have ill treated all my leather bags and shoes and that I should give them a treatment spray. But then again, the whole purpose of them getting dirty is so that I get to buy new ones, right? Hmmm.

I am going dream about this issue in my sleep now and maybe when I get up I might feel enlightened.

Pack them & stash them

The key to an anticipated luggage explosion is to pack the stuff that you know you won’t be wearing/carrying/using into boxes and mail them back home! Alas! Problem solved! An excuse to buy more for the upcoming Christmas shopping and of course, more room for all the new additions.

I’m a geenius.

Thank god it’s Friday!

Hello everyone!

I’ve got a new lil’ kitten back in Singapore. This little fella found its way into my garden on a rainy day. He was sickly underweight, covered in fleas, extremely dirty, couldn’t open an eye and was very much frightened indeed. He tried to run away from my 3 crazy sisters, but had no energy to do so. Poor bugger. My sisters took this little fella to the vet, and the vet suspected it had cat flu, and had to be isolated from B (isolation is necessary anyway since B isn’t exactly motherly). The vet gave some medication and eye drops for his dysfunctional eye. Haven’t gone for the second check up, but if he still is diagnosed with cat flu, we might have to euthanize him just to help shorten his misery. So pray that he is healthy so he can live a good 20 years with me.

Anyway, this little fella has been named, Friday. My sisters were intending to find a good home for him, because, B, being the feisty bitch, will take a very long time or never accept Friday (because she is Queen). But a couple of days with us, and we decided to keep him! Can’t wait to go back so that I can slowly introduce Friday to B. The Matriarch will probably slap his face, but a little hissy fit is unavoidable.

Enough said. Here is the little boy! Flea free, back in good shape and with a much better eye!

And of course not forgetting my B…

Hahaha… look at her face.

Knock knock

My head is a box filled with nothing
and that’s the way I like it

I wonder.. can nothingness be a form of something?

Baa baa bag sheep

I have officially bagged my way into pauper-ship. Don’t ask. Don’t question. Don’t wonder.

Just buy.

Guess who got a Halloween present as well?

Happy Halloween B! (even though you will never read this)

Saturday’s sweetness

I love Saturdays! Not all. But tomorrow is going to be one of my favourite Saturdays for this entire year. Going for the Open Day of the Cat Protection Society of NSW in the morning, and then heading over to Hyde Park for the Food and Wine Fair!

Life is great when you don’t have to work or study or worry about money.

And I’m 18 forever

When I was 18, I remember wishing that I could speed up to hit 21. When I turned 21, I wished I never made that wish. At 23, my life has officially reached a standstill.

I’m like the adult minus the adulthood. While most people my age have gained financial independence, I have gained nothing more than a degree and a whole year of loafing experience. So it brings me to question, will these financially independent people want to trade their overtimed life with my 0% hardship and 100% pure enjoyment life?

So while the others have made it past 3 working days into the week, I too had my most agonizing 3 “working” days of wait and anticipation for my stash of Larabars!

Hi babies, I am your new mommy!

Just in case you were wondering, I am not turning vegan (because these bars are). I am simply indulging in them because they are so deeeelicious. My girlfriend, M, who is the no.1 fan of bars, introduced these babies to me. Oh trust me when I say she is The Number One fan. She buys all different sorts of bars by the boxes, that I think she has enough to open a minimart. I’m not kidding – see it for yourself – http://barlovers.wordpress.com.

I wish to rant on further, but I have to go see my godpuppies.

Two little bundles of joy! (:

Fancy a bird for a bag?

Seriously, what’s going to fit inside that? Bird seeds?

These boots were made for walking

It’s supposedly Spring in Sydney, but it sure feels very wintery at the moment. So I couldn’t help myself but visit NeimanMarcus for some Autumn/Winter finds. And look at what I found!!

Chloe Tall Wedge Boots!

I see this and I see love.
