After five days of working and storming the hell out of my research paper, I reckon I need to give myself a decent break from all the stress. The weather has been changing constantly every single hour. It was really humid in the morning. Then it rained cats and dogs and it got all windy and stormy while I was on the way to see my friend. However, in the afternoon, I could barely walk around in the open-air bazaar without getting parched.

A shopping session with my friend today really was great. I bought a new pair of shoes, a necklace, a fedora plus a new bikini! I would show them to you tomorrow.

By the way, I met this one old lady during a life threatening experience on the boat. She was obviously lost and was seeking help from someone to take her to this hospital where she will visit her ill relative. I helped her out despite my horrible sense of direction. I was quite proud of myself yay!

Something great happened today! I accidentally ran into two of my high school friends on the way back from work. I was like Oh My Gosh! It was such a great surprise. I think last time I met them was when we were at the graduation party in high school which has passed way too long ... 8 years already I suppose! Haha now I feel old. But it was just so amazing how quickly we all felt connected again. After all these years, our friendship hasn't changed a tiny bit. We talked about stuff, what we are doing now, our job, our study and yeah our boyfriends duhhh! Asking about other friends from the German class and how they get along with their lives. In fact, I still run into some of them once in a while. We were standing at the bus stop for a long time and ended up laughing till our jaws hurt. A reunion idea defo should be considered!

I can't believe it's gonna be Friday tomorrow. I have always loved Friday but tomorrow is going to be a bit better. My boss will take a day off and I love going into the office and not seeing my boss sitting there on her desk, ready to assign me another task. Love it! Tomorrow is going to be a great day.

Anyway, here are some of the photos from William Rast Fall 2010 collection. Fresh-off-da-runway! It is without a doubt now that Rast definitely rocked Bryant Park!

Still something about Valentine (And I even said I wasn't that blown away by the hype of it in the last post haha!) My boyfriend's Valentine card finally arrived yesterday and it lifted my soul up like nothing else. Apparently, it doesn't even look like a card you would give to a girlfriend on a Valentine's Day (what would you expect) but I appreciated what he did for me a lot. The things he wrote on the card was truly sweet plus it nearly made me cry. He is surely better in romantic stuff than I am.

Today I got an e-mail from a French retiree who used to work as a Manager of Chavannes de Bogis and also another famous Swiss department store called Manor in Geneva, stating that he would like to meet with the President. I inevitably had to wonder what they can possibly talk about. You get the idea. A legislative body and a shopping mall just don't go together...

Here's by the way, the gorgeous and refreshingly original figure, Daisy Lowe!
I love this look way way much! Matter of factly, I just bought one skirt resembling this one on the photo. I will upload the picture when I get a chance to wear it. Just that I won't be wearing a blazer because it's about 35 degree celcious here. Also not those pair of 5 inches high heels since I'm already 5'11"! How sad :(

I'm really not blown away by the hype of Valentine's Day that much. I can't even really celebrate it with since my boyfriend is not here. So I decided to just sit around at home and watch a whole bunch of romantic love films on cable channel all day long. I have seen most of them but sadly some still got me crying like crazy. At the end of the day, I missed my boyfriend even more. If he were here, we would have celebrated our 3rd Valentine's Day together. Anyhow, I still think it doesn't really matter how far and away he is. I feel like I always have him here in my heart. Absence makes the heart grow fonder! Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

My boyfriend dedicated this song to me on this Valentine :)

Big OMG to this set of SS2010 fashion of anonymous designer (anonymous as in I don't really know who designed these stunning pieces of clothes)
It's just exactly what I love. Just a few of statements pieces in shade of basic colours for example white, black, grey, blue and beige. Amazingly simple and yet so stylish!

So another of my friends will get married at the end of the month. To be exact, on the 27th of February at the Sugar beet pub and restaurant. I totally have no clue where it is (heard from some friends that it's like millions miles away from my house) but I have to make it. She's like the second of the batch who will be settled. And this somehow got me thinking ... when it will be my turn?
Snap back to reality! For that, I went shopping for the dress I will wear to the wedding yesterday. Platinum Fashion Mall located right in the centre of Bangkok is a crazy crowded place with tons of people walking around buying clothes and shoes and bags and accessories. There's a wide range of fashion pieces and they are cheap like hell! Doesn't that sound like a friggin' heaven? Oh yes it does!
I bought some stuff but not much. I'm trying to monitor my impulse spending right now and trying to save some money for a trip to approximately three islands with my boyfriend this April. I will upload the pictures soon enough. Adios!
P.S. I think I'm skipping work tomorrow :P

Spaced out, face flushed and hair in disarray again!
I have been working on my research paper all day until I got an e-mail from that guy from the National Council saying the delegation requested our good office to arrange a programme for them during the IPU assembly. Also claimed that my boss has already agreed on this proposal. Very interesting. I found that a little too far-fetched. And then the Embassy called and asked if "I" could register them as an observer country or not. This is even more interesting. Sometimes it's really hard to believe that these kind of professional organizations just don't have any clue about how things work around here. Weak sauce, I must say.
Ummm someone is getting serious here haha! I'm taking a day off tomorrow just so I can work on my research. What a tragedy! My boyfriend is complaining already and suggested I should go out and have some fun. I will go have some awesome shopping experience and have some great savour-worthy food this Saturday though. I'm looking forward to it A LOT!
