-LA tyme-


woke up today,and basically did more shopping=)
we hadd breakfast at this vietnamese restaraunt.
it was pretti gud i must admit=)
where we went shopping,
it was all quiet.
it reminded mi of britain..
hahaa..
i entered a few shops n walked out again.
went into this one particular one.veri small it was, n was checkin out lotsa cool stuff there.
furthur torwards the back,where the changing rooms were i saw boxes of shoes.
i love shoes=)
and although i just got myself a pair of boots i'd like ta bring home another pair of shoes.
preferably heels.
well,i walk torwards a rack of clothes,the shoes dun seem at all interesting.
but as im walkin awae from the rack of clothes,my eyes notice something carelessly shoved in between a few boxes.
it's black and as i walk closer,i realise it's a pair.
i noe this sounds kinda stupid but if ya think about it,shoes on display are hardly ever displayed in pairs.
this pair of black shoes are carelessly strewn on the floor and i notice it's rather dusty.
i pick it up,carefully removing the dust and inspect the shoes.
it's absolutely gorgeous.
they're heels,higher than my highest pair but not exactly the style i'd buy...
it's hardd,veri hardd in fact,finding shoes my size with my extremely bigg feet(gee,thanks dad)
i wear a 7half - 9 n though i love shoes very rarely can i find heels i like,n a pair that bloody fits.
my whole collection of shoes are more on the adult side otherwise it's slippers.
this particular pair of shoes,having caught my attention seemed ta call mi ta try it on as well,usually i can never EVER pick up a pair of shoes,decide to try it on n slip it on.
nooo.
i usually hafta look everywhere fer sumthin mah size.tsk.
but these pair of heels in my hand,they didn't look that bigg...
yet at the same tyme didnt exactly look small either.
i slipped off the heels i was wearing and slipped on the ones i'd just found.
the straps crossed over my feet n zipped up at the back.
the heels fitted perfectly.
a matchmake in heaven-smiles

but ah,the price.
something like this would hardly be affordable!
i showed my momma the shoes and,as expected she commented on the height.
it aint that high actually although it is higher than the highest i have.
the question now,
the onli thing standing between mi n those gorgeaous pair of heels was the price.
i hadd ta find out the price.
i went through the boxes most of them either labelled $7.99 or $6.99
none of them belonged to the pair of heels.
of course not,somehting so classy could not cost so little.
well,in singapore cash it aint so little but it is in US cash.hahaa.
if ya wanna noe how much it is in singapore dollars multiply it by 1.75 i think.
-shruggs.absolutely besides the point.
i then wen tup to the counter to ask the lady how much it was,she too went looking for the box but to no avail.
she took the shoes off the counter and went into the storeroom to check the price.
she took a long tyme and the suspense was killing mi,i wandered around the shop.
i knew it was unlikely that i'd buy it...my mother wasn't that keen.
the lady soon hurried out,panting.i could hardly hear herr words.
finally,"cannot find the box.maybe 20 something dollar.i gib you $6.99 ok,wan?"
she was chinese,do excuse the badd english.
wen i first heard "20 something dollar" i cringed.i wasn't gonna pay fer that.
but i liked the "$6.99" bit=)
she put it on the counter fer mi and i approached it with momma,
who seemed rather unsure.
she didn wan mi ta buy it fer the sake of buying,didn wan mi ruining my feet wearing the shoes.
lotsa stuff...
but in the end,i got it.
and youu wun believe who paid=)
i love mah momma.
n i love the shoes.
hahaa
there.
my WHOLE day,and the main activity was the buying of that pair of black gorgeous heel.
lalalala.
tmr glenn's gonna tak emi ta his church=)
he's 25,my cousin n a pastor.
hahaa.
im totally looking forward ta it.

*huggs n kisses,youu noe ya love mi=)

*world of mah own*
Lord, why didn’t you give me wings
like a bird or butterfly,
so I could fly away
from depression and pain,
fly away from the world
that makes me cry?
But I don’t need wings,
do I, Lord?
For you are here with me --
you help me through all those things.
Lord, you are my wings.

*mah own world*
Light My Darkness

Lonely and afraid.
A shadow,
cumbersome,
weighs upon my heart.
Tired and desolate.
A wall,
powerful,
holds me back.
I kneel and cry;
I want to sleep.
Instead, I call to God;
and God answers.
God’s mighty hand
lifts my trembling chin.
In the light of God’s love,
my darkness fades
and I can hope again.

*mah own thought*
this is a dream,
i dun ever want to end.
a life i wanna continue living.
forever...
except that...
i miss youu
