I was at a bookstore the other day, looking for A Tale of Two Cities (the collectors' edition) when an abundance of Dan Brown's Inferno caught my attention. Then came this absurd idea; why don't I read a book that is not my cup of tea, and see if I would be able to enjoy it or not. I know because it's not the genre I'd rather prefer, but that doesn't make it a bad book, is it ? And because it's nearly my birthday, this is a great occasion to start something new, and buy a new book or five. I've been buying myself birthday presents since I was 15, most of them were things I've always wanted for quite a while. I've made this into an agenda, an annual agenda. The first present I brought was a melody box with a pink pig on top. Three years prior, I brought myself a "Me & a cup of hot chocolate" Barn owl scarf. Two years ago, I brought 2 stuff unicorns for myself, and named them Magnus and Reina. Last year, I brought myself a VS purse and 5 VS perfumes.
It gets more and more expensive as I grew older, I can't even.
Anyway, I was going to buy the collector's edition of A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, but I think they were sold out because there aren't any of them on the shelves.
Because of that, I brought these;

| 1. Have a little faith - By Mitch Albom 2. Inferno - By Dan Brown |
I've read "The Time Keeper" by Mitch Albom, and fell completely in love with it. When I saw this, I didn't think twice before picking it up. I know what to expect from this author, I didn't even read the back cover. I love his style of writing and his view towards the thing he writes about.
I would like to start with Inferno first, and then Have a Little Faith, but, due to my courses this term, I have to finish school work first. Being an Arts student sucks sometimes, and it gets worse as you move up the years. I can see myself freaking out because of all the pressure I will be under. Jobs, Masters and so on so forth.
To be frank with you all, I feel like a chocolate teapot right now.
I was under quite a lot of stress a couple of days back, but I'm better now.
I really do believe in Shopping Therapy because it helps, it really does.
On the same day I brought them books, I went shopping in Paragon with my uncle while we wait for my brother. We go straight into LV because my uncle wanted to check out their latest collection of necklace. I've had some not-so-pleasant experiences with the staff here in Paragon's LV. However, they welcomed us better this time, and I was quite impressed, although they still gave me those suspicious eyes, thinking I would damage their 'oh-so-classy' leather. Excuse me, but they are made of canvas, and not even leather.
The next shop was Fendi. I wanted to know the price of the Karlito, but they said I have to wait for at least 3 months in order to buy it because the queue is quite long. Well, there are, like, 5 leftovers in SG's Fendi store. Anyway, I wasn't that desperate to get it.
We went into Prada, and uncle brought something. I keep trying the Saffiano handbag, but no other colours are as good as my black one at home. The shoes are so mundane, but the service was better than in LV.
Then we went into Hermès because I wanted the CDC bracelet. I wore Pam's CDC and fell in love with it. There is purple as well, but all of them ran out. I was quite upset, but it's alright. Hermes was a little too formal for me, anyway.
When we went into the Balenciaga shop, all my stress faded away. The manager greeted us personally and led us to the latest collection of bags and bracelets. I tried on a few bracelet, but my wrist is too small for them to look good on. I thought I was never gonna be able to wear my favourite brand's bracelet anymore, but when I've finally found the one that suits me best, I fell in love. At the end of the day, uncle brought that Giant Gold Bleu Opaline Bracelet for me as an early birthday present, with a Moschino bag. A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU, MY UNCLE. THANK YOU.
This is another random entry, but I'm so hyped about my upcoming 21st birthday right now. I had a lot of great themes for the party, but I wasn't that sure if it's gonna turn out that great. I really don't feel like going clubbing this year, maybe because I am getting older ? I don't even know. I am under too much stress that I couldn't imagine myself dancing around like a freshman in a 'till dawn.
Last year, me and my friends went to Bombay Blues for a drink, and it was alright. I really want an Alice in Wonderland tea party in the garden theme, but that would be a lot of work and aint no body got time for that shit.
Maybe this is it. I should become a party organiser and organise birthday parties; providing people everything they need to get the party started.
That's a very good idea, and that just popped up while I was typing this.
Anyway, to conclude this nonsense entry, I would like to introduce you, readers, to the new renovation of 23km- !
What you will be seeing more in the future are the followings:
- Movie reviews/analysis (that will be wayyy better than the one I did on GOTG)
- Book reviews/analysis (which will mostly be something I read in the Popular Fiction class)
- My reading update of Inferno (with all the spoilers in the world. If you've read it and wanted to know my interpretation on the book, then you might enjoy these.)
- Random -and stupid- stuff, especially when I am under a lot of stress.
- #seekingseoul2014 + Videos ... ?
- Me, trying to do fashion, or make fashion, or follow fashion, or be fashion .... ?
- New homepage (which I have no idea when will that be up)
So, this is it.
Thank you, and see you soon.
Love,
Rt's.
