Tide will rise and fall along the bay

Can I have time to freeze and the day still? And the birds hang in momentum with dust?

People come and go and walk away

By the time they arrived, the sun was already descending below the horizon. Hurriedly, she whipped her camera out of its pouch, handed it over to him, and proceeded to take her position. After several clicks, she decided to call it quits for it was getting too dark to continue. Indeed, the pictures they took lack clarity. Thus, they had to be altered.

A comment from a reader:

Hey!
I think you're totally awesome. I absolutely love what you wear most of the time. I don't see people wearing those lovely stuff anywhere in Singapore. Mosty just the usual t-shirt shorts combi or they go berserk with their Taiwanese clothes. How much do you spend on clothes/shoes/fashion anyway? I mean clothes and stuff and be bought cheaply no problem without too much of a problem but bags and shoes just screams TACKY if they're not of a certain quality (and that usually means price, sadly). Coming from someone with a limited budget, I find it hard to get good bags and shoes for less than $50 popand mostly the things that catches my eye are towards the 100-200 range. So the big Q, how do you do it?
Love, xing

Why hello there xing : ) First of all, many thanks for taking the time to comment. Right, so where do I even begin now. Personally, I believe that it all boils down to your ownself. I would be lying if I say that I have never been tempted to buy something which is heavily priced.

The thing is, I am indecisive. Before I purchase anything, I would always weigh in my mind, the pros and cons of owning that item (it is pretty weird that my mind does this, considering many usually buy on impulse). Ninety-nine precent of the time, I would usually pass on owning that item. To make myself feel better, I would come up with as many reasons as possible as to why I believe I made the right decision (another weird thing my mind does). There's this excuse that I always give and that is, "I could find a similar piece for a much cheaper price". Believe it or not, my clothes (tops and bottoms) are between the range of SGD$1-15. Anything above SGD$15 I would consider and reconsider.

Regarding the shoes issue, if you were to browse through my entries, you would find that my shoes are mainly from two places. It is either purchased at Charles & Keith or over at City Square. While I do agree with you that finding a pair of fine shoes is hard, I do not believe in spending too much money on them (or on clothings and the likes). When I am on a hunt for shoes, I tend to be very fussy. If the details are there, but the colour is not to my liking, I would not purchase it. And but of course, I would not purchase a pair of shoes which is highly overpriced, even though I could afford it. To put it midly, self-control is essential. Onto the bag issue, I spend very little on bags. Most of the time, I use my hand-me-downs, vintage bags. Many a times too, I would borrow the many bags that my mum owns.

I certainly hope that my three length worth of paragraphs has benefitted you in a way or two. If what I have written is not what you had hoped for, I apologise. I certainly do not mind giving others an insight into my world of shopping but I am in no position to tell others how to shop or dress, how much they should spend or what they should avoid wearing. For I believe that sooner or later, you would finally realise what you really want and what you are truly looking for (hereby referring to clothings and the likes).

Where they sung and danced

We walked around and consumed a huge amount of food today. The walking around was great but the downside of it was that we ended up absorbing massive loads of the sun's rays. I shall remind myself to bring a hat, the next time the sun shines brightly.

The aimless walks we had

Initially I decided on the Cheap Monday but when I saw my pencil skirt (which have been worn to work for two days straight), I picked it up, slapped on a thin belt, strapped my new shoes on and i'm out the door. Off I go to meet my guy.

If your blog name appears under the Fashion Blogs link list, do inform me of your country of origin so I could place them under the respective country list. And should you want to be linked, tell me so by leaving me a comment. Much thanks : )

Making my way downtown

After dinner, we still had a good one hour left before the movie starts. We walked around only to realise that we made it just in time to catch the golden hour. Seeing that we have the beautiful lighting on our side, we took massive amount of pictures. By we, I meant him being behind the camera and myself, in front of it. Heh.

When we were done, I realised that some leaves got stucked to my shoes' heels. The heels poked right through the leaves, and the leaves went right up my heels, like a kebab on a skewer.

Ashes to ashes

My absence usually means that I am either buzzing around like a bee or down under the weather. It's been quite a week thus far, and I am definitely deprived of a good night sleep. That aside, my feet got another place to call home today. A gift from my guy, again. Thank you, you.
