Early Morning of a Sunday

A peaceful gloomy British morning indeed. This picture was on Google search overlooking Somerset Levels of England which rightly describes current weather condition in Lincoln. The current temperature in Lincoln according to BBC Weather is 13 degree Celsius!

Not just that, the wind speed is 15 mph (miles per hour, no idea why UK still uses non-metric measurement...)! It means that there is showers with rather high speed wind (faster than us walking on treadmill).

I happily rose from deep sleep at 6.26 am by some fake-out sunlight from my windows. I know many found it weird that I sleep with my curtains open, but I like having natural light shining into my room. This is probably due to oversleeping yesterday. I was probably on 18 hours on-and-off knockout sessions the whole Saturday, with a lame attempt to oversleep on a Saturday morning. So yeah,  I had too much of sleep that my body tells me that it is time to rise up. And so, after a futile attempt to return to sleep, I got up for a cuppa Fatt Choi coffee mix (courtesy of a friend whose stuffs I held hostage for at least 8 months before she came to collect them) and half a can of Heinz baked beans cooked with egg, a slice of cheddar cheese and some black pepper to taste. Hmm... I actually have time for breakfast before getting ready for mass! Perhaps an Activia yogurt? I need to wallop them all before tomorrow anyway :P

I even had read the Sunday readings. An excellent achievement for me, since I hadn't had time to do so since a long time ago, always waking up on time to shower and rush off to mass every Sunday. Today I want to make this Sunday a more interesting one. Perhaps sitting in some nice neat hidden cafe to get some work done? Sounds fair enough. I'll decide if I should haul this big white chunk out from the room in such wintry summer morning.

Did I tell you that officially it is British summer time? Yeah, at 13 degrees! It is officially summer two days ago!!! Yeah... I could still wear some of my lighter winter stuffs if I want to. Right now I'd wear my newly-purchase Marks & Spencer Per Una shower resistant mac, because it is my new add-on to the already stuffed wardrobe!! I paid £49 for a £79 mac, okay maybe it still sounds a bit overpriced for a student, but I really like it so much that I told myself I'd bring it home if it were to be on sales. So when it went on sales, my first instinct was to grab it. It happened so that I was out to buy some last minute stuffs for my Paris trip the morning before I left for London. My account is utterly stretched to the max right now, but yeah, I found out it was "out of stock" online when I returned from Paris and my heart was relieved I didn't miss it.

Enough with the yack. Time to try focusing for 30 minutes before getting ready for mass.

P/S: Sorry for the tiny pics... I want them to fit into my template. I know I could increase the width, but I have to consider that some readers may be using a smaller screen lappy... Honestly, I have no idea how many readers I have, not many but it is fine. Haha!

Blessed Sunday!

It's a girl thing, really!

To all the girls, have you ever had a day whereby you have the urge to just shop till you drop dead? If you do, continue reading...

To all the guys, have you ever wondered why girls need so many pairs of shoes, not that they would wear them all the time? If you do, continue reading too...

To all the girls, have you ever wondered what's the beauty in heels or shoes that causes you to be thinking that splurging is a must like how eating is to all mankind? If you do, continue reading...

To all the guys, have you ever wondered why all girls love heels that made their toes so miserably painful that they whined but they will never let go of the pair that burns your pocket? If you do, continue reading please...

Well, the story is this... Shoes are simply irresistible for girls!!! It is like how a guy must wear necktie to work. We have different names for the pair of "things" that cover the feet... To name a few... We have sandals, heels, pumps, flats, wedges, platforms... Blah blah blah... I used to wonder the same things... Why do girls need so many pairs of shoes??? It is just SHOES... But NOW, it is NOT just shoes... They are simply irresistible.

I think I started purchasing heels and wearing them when I started working as a marketeer... It made a difference on my feet... I'm not short, but wearing them, I feel more confident. They made me even taller, obviously, but I think I look nice when I wear heels and skirt and put on makeup. Haha! All girls look lovelier with all these elements!! LOL! So guys, we girls don't mind you check us out when we're wearing a pair of decent heels, because it is a lovely creation.

What else I want to say about it? I notice that wedges are more comfortable than stiletto heels, though stiletto heels make the legs sexier than usual. In fact, I love both, and especially those with ankle straps!!! There's something about the straps that kept me mesmerized always! However, this time I bought myself a pair of open toe pumps and a pair of wedges from Rachael G, a Singapore-based company, in 1Borneo, KK.

Here are some photos of the two pairs...

I love the design of the box, the colour and the material~

This is the first pair which I was attracted to... I love the design, simple and comfy... This is the nearest I can get to close toe pumps... I like the fact that it comes in three different colour... White, "camel" and black. The white one was gorgeous, camel was normal, black is serious. I love the white one, but I just got myself a pair of white wedges right before CNY, so I've decided to be "serious" this time... LOL! I can wear it with jeans or with office wear. It was a 70% discount deal. Worth the money~ Less than MYR40!

This is another gorgeous pair which I bought... I love the fact that this is my first pair of open toe black 3-inch wedges. In fact, it was the design of the "wedge" itself that caused me to purchase it. And also the tiny golden prints on black. It made the whole pair of heels more adorable... But the heels can't match anything that I have so far...

Here's the 3-inch-high heels of the wedges... The design is a mixture of gold, brown, blue tones. It's lovely to be worn with dresses and also jeans I think. I might try with skirts but I think dresses will look better. Especially simple black dresses~ Hehehe! This pair is also a bargain... 70% discount!!!

So when did I start to become a fashion chic? No idea... It's probably in the nature of all females to love fashion... I'm just excited over the heels I bought, so I'd like to share their beauty with you all! Well, after burning my own pocket, time to save!!! Thank God for the food from CNY lunch in school so I no need to worry about breakfast and lunch these two days I think. Oh!! There's still papaya left in the fridge, and pineapple! I want to cook pineapple chicken tomorrow~ Anybody interested to be my guinea pig? Hehe!

Till then... God bless!
