My TEMPORARY WishList

Haha.. Went to Kino to read some books with Cedric today and OMG!! He was wearing a pink tee-shirt despite his constant kb abt guys in pink!! Haha.. Ok lah.. It wasn't tt bad and I shall stop kb-ing abt it. Anyway, we spent abt an hr browsing the books and we spent the rest of the afternoon window shopping from Orchard to SUNTEC to Bugis. This is my TEMPORARY WishList because I tink the desire to buy them are on impulse and I think these desires would die out over time.

A Crumpler Bag (actually, this is on my long-term wishlist. I plan to buy one once I ORD but see how bah). It's blue in colour and the design is like those red coloured ones which many ppl are carrying (without stripes of different shades) but with a white stripe across it on the right and the logo is on the white stripe. It is bigger than the red colour ones.
A scale 1:100 Justice Gundam + a scale 1:100 Freedom Gundam. I think I'll get my sis to buy them when she goes on her Japan trip later this yr. They will be cheaper by then.
I saw a 12-inche Spawn: Wings of Redemption but I am looking for a smaller figurine kinda size. I am not a Spawn fan but I like the wings and the design. I tink I have a liking for angel's wings, devil's wings and death or things that symbolises of imitates them, which explains why I in particularly like my Deathscythe Gundam and Wing 0 Gundam. Basically, I feel that toys from this company has a cool factor to them and not to mention, artistic details. Like their dragon series, movie series etc. But there are certain very sadistic ones too like their Twisted Land of Oz, Tortured souls etc. But dunno of any shops in SG which will keep stock of the older seasons.. Sigh... Maybe I'll make a trip to Toy R Us to look for it..

Wings of Redemption Spawn

A pair of shoes from Timberland. It's brown with yellow linings and a yellow sole. It's $179, i think. Haha.. Have to wait long long for the sale to come and have to make some arrangements at home as my mom and sis are kinda stingy abt shoe storage space in my hse (they are the two oligopolies of my hse's shoes)

A few sets of small collectibles figurines. I am thinking abt changing my displays in my room. Or if possible, an alternative would be to buy clear acrylic boxes to place my Gundams in to put on display. They are quite ex but i heard tt Daiso sells sth like them. Hmm. May go down someday to check it out.

Oh.. An observation which I made over this few weeks. I tink kids are very susceptible to being hit in their heads when they go shopping with their parents. Especially those who reach ur waist level. Why?? This is because I saw a boy being knocked in the head during the IT show last week and I myself knocked a girl in her head 2 times in a row today (by accident, of course.) I think tt they are so used to it that they have no reaction to it!!!! Sad, rite???

Cedric and I also went to the Guan Yin Temple in Bugis when we were there. haha.. We prayed and even "qiu qian" (draw lots???? dunno wat it is called in eng). Well.. I'm not supposed to annouce what I asked abt but it isn't diff to guess, i suppose. haha.. anyway, I asked abt it half-heartedly cuz I asked for the sake of fun and I had nth really troubling on my mind. So I tink Guan Yin oso answered me half-heartedly as I threw like 7-8 times before I got the "correct" lot. The interpretation is bad but I'm not really affected by it cuz it isn't really troubling me and I suppose I do not have a firm belief in religions..

quotes

"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true." - Dr. Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy

'How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn't care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears-
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity-' - How happy is the little Stone by Emily Dickinson

'This is your last chance.

'Life is no straight and easy corridor along
which we must seek our way,
lost and confused, now and again
checked in a blind alley.

a door will open for us,
not perhaps one that we ourselves
would ever have thought of,
but one that will ultimately
prove good for us.' - A.J.Cronin
