Acknowledging individuality


Acknowledging individuality

Learn to accept flaws and dont always ask for changes.

And i spent a good freaking god-like amount of $150 on 3 shirts today while going out with Nic and Cas. I lied to my mum about the price lol if not she will slaughter me! I told her that they were $10 each haha. It's a good thing that my mum is illiterate and knows nothing about branded stuff haha. I got to kill my brother later though cuz he is a big blabber-mouth. Where's my knife *searching*

Today is a wonderful day. Went out shopping with Nic and Cas haha then i got to rush back and teach tuition at 5pm. It was a wrong choice of me to wear my grey hooded vest with my cardigan, the 2 layers are so thick and it felt so hot inside. Though the girls keep asking if feel hot and i said i wasnt, i was just lying openly to them haha. Freaking hot leh i want to avoid all non-aircon places. I bought 2 shirts at Zara (woo hoo i love Zara now), a purple with black strips and a brown/black shirt which i wanted to buy the other time but didnt. Glad to have found that shirt i thought it would have sold out already haha. I was surprise when Cas brought the purple strip shirt to me saying "hey look $19 only leh" and make me happy for no reason. Duh, Zara dont sell shirts below $20 haha then i took a closer look and realise that it was in 19 BRITISH POUNDS. Not 19 lah but a freaking 49 haha. Got my last shirt at Far East for 40 and i like it very much. I didnt wear it out and try, i just bought it immediately. Nic and Cas are my faithful fashion consultants. Going out with them is stressful cuz they will criticise my taste when i choose the wrong shirt. I allow them to criticise me cuz i ALWAYS choose the wrong shirt. I pick up this shirt today and Cas said "I tink you can get this type of shirt cheaper at Far East" then i put tat shirt away haha. I always ask their opinion before buying a shirt. I dont trust my own taste and i always let them decide what they want for me haha. And i love it, their taste is exactly what i want which i always fail to grasp all the time. They are trying to kick me out of the kiddy trend and bring me to the adult trend haha. Going out with them is very stressful also cuz i got to dress up nicely to meet up to their standards leh haha. Cept for going to school i dont mind acting kiddy, going out is a different thing and i need more mature clothes to fit in around them haha.

I know Cas and Nic since primary school. We know each other very well and i dont see myself as trying to please them or put up with their air. Because i am keen on breaking out of my own kiddy shell and dress more maturely. I am 22, i cant always look like a 16 all the time. They are doing things for my own good too haha. And besides, they arent the only one who does the criticising on me all the time haha. I am also a very harsh critic too haha, we are just very honest with each other's fashion taste. Though i have a bubbly characteristic, i dont like to wear bright coloured shirts. I like to wear black, white or blue cuz it is easier to match them up. I am so eager to wear my new clothes out when school reopens, i cannot stand wearing the same clothes all the time. I think a lot like Nic haha, we just hack care and shop like hell today while Cas keep saying "I will rather shop in Hong Kong then here" haha. Yah they plan to go HongKong next year, i am still considering cuz i need to set aside enough budget first. Hong Kong, one of the top shopping paradise around the world, i want to set my eyes to it someday with them. $150, its all worth it for a wardrobe change. I already throw out some of my old clothes to make way for these 3. Gonna go out again next sunday with them for Part II of the wardrobe makeover, i still need more!!

I dont always like to ask people to accomodate to who i am, usually i will accomodate to their demands instead. But that doesnt mean that i will lose my individual identity. So long as we have respect for each other, i dont feel that my individuality will be infringe by them.

And if you think that what i am saying is just a form of bull-shit, then i tink it is time you upgrade your EQ processor. Either that or you can dream about ever meeting out with me the next time =P

And we all just want to look good and leave a better lasting impression to the people around you. Looking good is also a form of courtesy for people to respect you. Individuality is a form of need but its not a form of must for all occasion.
