which song describes you the best?

this weeks friday five:

1. What size shoe do you wear?

UK size 4 I believe. I have relatively small feet.

2. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

only counting shoes i wear? or all those currently rotting in the shoe cupboard? *sparkle* 18 pairs altogether.

3. What type of shoe do you prefer (boots, sneakers, pumps, etc.)?

boots at the moment, cos i desperately need the height! *grin* other than that i'm trying to look for a pair of strappy heels, desperately searching, but with no luck whatsoever. *grumble*

4. Describe your favorite pair of shoes. Why are they your favorite?

they're dark brown leather boots from Shelly's, 3 inch wooden heel with suede lining. and they're gorgeous. bought them while i was in the UK recently, in Glasgow, fell in love with them as soon as Xuefen tried them on. *laugh* so basically, it's all her fault. considering what i paid for em, i'm glad i love em though. lol.

5. What's the most you've spent on one pair of shoes?

the above pair, about S$145 I think. So not -that- much in the bigger scheme of things, but still quite a lot for me to spend on a pair of shoes.

sometimes i wish i could just decide what i was going to do, and how i felt and stick to it. instead of having my mood and ambition fluctuate so much it looks like those graphs you get when you're trying to sequence a bit of DNA. *wrinkles nose* yes, i've been studying genomics today, does it show? *grin* more later, i'm suffering from an overdose of studying.

the more things change, the more things stay the same.

was just reading through my old diary, having been in a writing mood just now, and some of my old entries are quite... eerily similar to what i'm going through now. not completely obviously, but in little ways that i hadn't recalled til now. bittersweet definitely, and quite sad to realize how fast time flies etc, but i think perhaps it may help me to cope with what's going on. after all, i survived all that shite didn't i? *laugh*

but seriously, the similarities are just... scary.

some of the 1st year entries detail events that seem like they only happened yesterday, and it's quite sad to realise that i'm already in my 3rd year, and it'll be over so soon. and also sad that i've lost touch or had problems with so many of my ex-classmates that i used to be so close to. i don't think there's anyone left from my first year that i'm still very close to. and it was quite strange to recall how insecure i used to be, in all areas of my life. at least now i'm a lot more confident in and of myself. so much more so.

was one entry where i was envying certain chasers because they were at the top of the game, relaxed, confident, had all the info, all the contacts etc, never got excited, and remained cool at all times, talking to the stars really easily. and now, i'm like, been there, done that. lol. quite quite amazing the difference 2 years can make.

I�m tugging at my hair
I�m pulling at my clothes
I�m trying to keep my cool, I know it shows
I�m staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I�m searching for the words inside my head

I�m feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cuz I know you�re worth it you�re worth it yeah
If I could say what I wanted to say
I�d say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
Guess I�m wishing my life away
With these things I�ll never say

It don�t do me any good
It�s just a waste of time
What use is it to you what�s on my mind?

Peiyi came over to my house today, since we skipped the nanogen talk to go to holland village, just to check out certain hair and face products. (Garnier didn't bring in my facial wash, i'm -not- happy). was kinda fun, ended up talking crap as usual. lol. and trying to figure out the university dilemna, though apparently i'm still no closer to a decision.

called my bro as well, and discussed it with him. he's still not sure if he's moving to england next year, but even if he is, he reckons it'll be relatively cheap if i and a coupla friends share accommodation somewhere near whichever uni we end up going to. still torn between u of melbourne, UQ and NSW. I think i've given up on the UK, there's no way in hell i'll be able to afford that kinda education. *sigh*

other than that, there's loadsa work to be done that i haven't even started on yet, so i'd better get my arse in gear. =P (sarah, this is all your fault for getting me started on Harry Potter fan fiction! *grin*)
