F21 was having one of their crazy sales, and I decided to get some stuff! Managed to find 3 friends to share shipping cost with me, so yay!

Here’re the things that I bought! Bf if you’re reading this pls don’t choke kthx. They were on sale so theoretically I saved money! *deluded*

I love them! The only thing I love more than the items themselves are their pricetags. The dresses above were bloody only USD 5.99! Any cheaper than that, you would have to steal it.

The total for all the items above is just USD 58.15, or SGD 81.41! One single dress at Topshop or Zara would easily cost more than all these combined can?

Oh god I am so happy I feel like tapdancing or something.

If you have been following my Twitter or Plurk updates, you may know that I have a DSLR to play with until next Friday!

The bf bought his first camera, a Nikon D40 cos of his temporary massive interest in photography. Luckily, or unluckily for me, depending on how you see it, he went off to Brunei right after he bought it, which leaves me to shoulder the responsibility of playing with his cam for him.

Somehow writing the previous paragraph made me feel like a woman whose husband left her with their newborn baby and went to war. Nevermind.

It’s awfully hard for me to take photos, because a DSLR is bloody heavy for me, and I have absolutely. no. fucking. clue what is aperture, shutter speed, exposure… yada yada. I only know these terms cos the bf keeps talking about them, ha..

So imagine the difficulty i went through just to take these 3 shots of my (ever moving – trying to give myself some credit here) furballs.

Honestly, i think i brought DSLR photography to new lows, but i tried! I think they look like run-of-the-mill compact camera photos that were random shots, but i spent a good 30 minutes and 107 blurry, out-of-focus, ugly, too dark, too bright and/or generally bad photos just to produce 3 puny semi-tolerable photos.

I really love the photo of maomao though. I couldn’t take clear photos of him with my compact in the past because he was always fidgeting, and even when he was still the photos were not clear and detailed for some reason.

I’m glad I have a good photo of him to hold onto forever. He’s almost 12 years old which is like 84 in doggie years. I’m really happy i managed to capture these moments of him nicely.

After eons upon eons of googling I have finally found the elusive Inuyasha episodes 133 and 134 subbed and not awfully dubbed. I hate watching dubbed episodes.

Hopefully, this will help some people in the same predicament as me:

The only catch is that you have to download the Veoh player, but that is just a small pebble in the grand scheme of events.

Enjoy!

Apparently, a study by a US psychotherapist Cynthia Power has shown that we crave certain types of food when we feel different emotions!

We crave savoury treats like cheese and crackers… when we feel confused or frustrated.

We crave starchy pasta or noodles… when we feel lonely.

We crave crunchy, salty potato chips… when we are stressed.

We crave meat… when we are suppressing feelings of anger.

We crave smooth ice creams or custards… when we need comforting.

I find it pretty true for myself, I think. What about you? Funny how no one craves for veggies, huh.
