DIY Day!

D.I.Y. Sunday!
Spent almost the whole of Sunday assembling my newly purchased bookcase from IKEA.
Wanted to do it all by myself, but somehow my dad just appeared out of nowhere and helped me with the banging and screwing and whatsnot.
Haiz.
I so wanted to complete it all by myself, and mind you, I CAN DO IT OKIE!
But men are all the same: they felt that women can't do carpentry or anything along the line.
Whatever.
My semi-filled addition to my 'roomies', whom i named Billy:
It fits just nice into that little corner,and my TV fits just nice beside it. And my lovely Gossipy's Frame of Memories finally has a place to settle in. Perfect.
After cleaning Billy, I proceeded to beautifying my mirror.
Many hours and minutes later, I present to you:
My ultimate blingbling mirror which I named Shiny J:
The front:
And the back:
Not bad from an amateur like me, huh?
I'm so proud of myself that I can't stand myself. Hehs.

Had a super embarrassing moment this morning, and it wasnt even my fault to begin with!!!
I was wearing my Birkies when this stupid, rude, unbelievable and ugly auntie decided to step on my right Birkie and sent it flying a few feet away from its owner.
And mind you, this happened INSIDE THE STUPID TRAIN OKIE!
Stupid stupid stupid!
Not the train but the auntie!
She was rushing to enter the train behind me and viola!
I almost tripped and fell over CAN?!?!?!
And then spastic auntie just uttered a 'sorry' with no insincerity AT ALL and then walked off!!!!!
I was like, F**K!, and turning round and round frantically to look for my flying Birkie, so frightened that it would suay suay drop into the gap between the train and platform.
Or worse still, it might even flew onto the platform and then the train would close and then I would be left inside the train with only one Birkie.
Imagine how humiliating that would have been!
Spastic and stupid auntie was lucky that my shoe was INSIDE TOGETHER WITH ME, if not I'll sue her for personal assault and demand compensation for the humiliation and trauma that she set upon me. Stupid.
The worst thing was that she's not even apologetic for causing hurt to my fragile little heart! *HRMPF!*
I was too stunned at that moment to react quickly, and when I realised, she's nowhere in sight.
And can I add that it was in the morning like around 10am, when the train was like, packed with people?
Shite.
Luckily there's this kind lady who sat near the door swept my shoe over to me, if not I had to limp or hop or skip or whatever to get it.
*HUGE SIGH*
One lesson learnt. NEVER EVER rush into the train at the last closing second. Even if you do, MAKE SURE no aunties are behind you.

Embarrassing and unpleasant moments aside.
Went to vivo again aft gym.
Bought a white berms at Pull and Bear, and a cute Mickey Mouse shirt at F21. Shopping really cheers me up! =)
Had lunch at The Asian Kitchen (again!) cos Mal was tempted to try it out after listening to my praises about it. Hehs.
And then the craziest and most spontaneous thing happen when we decided to get our ears pierced.
Oh man. This is the ultimate craziest moment ever.
We headed down to B*Dazzled at Wisma cos we trust their hygiene and skills in piercing weird locations on our ears.
I had let them pierce my left ear years ago, and I still remember it was only $37 then.
Guess how much we paid?
A whooping $208 per pax can!!!!
OMG OMG OMG.
The pair of diamond earrings already cost $398! Plus the after-care lotions...
I can't believe I just spent a couple of hundred dollars like that.
The stud is my third diamond to date, and well, since it's diamond with 18k gold, I guess it's pretty worth it?
But until now I'm still so xin tong.
Was I being too rash?
I can easily go to New Generations and get a $4 piercing, but then again, it only comes with a fake blingbling stud that wears off after a few months, or maybe weeks, so people won't see the shining effect no more.
So I guess it's for investment sake cos I dun think I'll remove it till I turn 85.
But still, $208~!
That's the craziest thing I've ever done.
Now I have to cast my Agnes B bag aside. Gotta wait till the next bonus before I can afford it.
But at least I have pretty ear-rings! *blingbling*
Spontaneity is fun, but sometimes it can be expensive too!
Going to have to curb my spendings from now on and frugality is the IN word now. Hehs.
