catch up

Well today was meant to be a set aside 'study day' but i opted for something more befitting for a person who's enjoying her first free Saturday from work for about 3 months:D I went shopping!! The real motive for it was Sonal's birthday-othawise i just wouldn't have bothered. But it turned out to be quite fruitful and Valley Girl-omgsh!!-their 50%-off-everything-sale roped me in quick (along with about 1000 other sales crazy women) and i got a totally gorgeous black hooded cardie + a green v-necked jumper as a pressie. I spent like 2 hrs in that place:O Don't you just love buying things knowing you're not ripped off? I felt rushed and spent, but content at the end of it all-and i still haven't ticked off everything on my shopping list.

The party itself which i left over an hour ago was jam PACKED with curries-to the point where i was the only asian there. I'm starting to get so use to that left-out feeling it's become natural>_> anyhoo it was mighty interesting, and i got to meet heaps of unsw ppl heehee. I must go to one of their parties *interesting thematic ones* and put that id card to good use.

I've been so use to work that I've almost forgotten the time-out sensation. And for the first time, I concur that one cannot possibly traverse the whole of Parra westfield in a day unless they have a shopping list, a map, sustenance and no companions! Having lived almost right next to it for 8 yrs, i always thought westfield wasn't much by way of size but now-far out! Next Sat i have a massage planned and i am totally looking forward to that:D But i can't forget today easy. I had a great catchup session with jan-in her fab new Skyline, met cool new guys, nearly froze to death in a skirt that goes with everything and undid about a month's worth of health binge. These moments sound trivial but they go into shaping me as a whole. They are significant because I experience an event and it's mine to keep forever, to witness, to be accountable for, imprint into my memory or simply relieve onto somebody else. An event, no matter how small, becomes an article of my being and is mine to do with how i choose. ..*yawn* must snooze; work tomoro; toodles.. .
