Suede

Currently listening to: 蒲公英的约定 by 周杰倫

My friends and I went for the Capping Show yesterday night. It was pretty alright, despite the fact that this year's show had a change of venue due to really stupid decisions made by the higher ups of the university. Seriously.

Anyway, the Sextet were ok, but I will not say that they are better this year than last, nor will I say that they are worse. I will, however, say that I expected more from them. So yeah. The Sexytet, on the other hand, I didn't expect a whole lot, and as such was rather pleasantly surprised to find that they are much better this year than last; I found them much more provocative too.

The Selwyn Ballet, I expected more too. But I should've known better, because the new venue has very limited space compared to the old one, so they couldn't really move as freely as in the past. Entertaining nonetheless, but I didn't have the overwhelming feeling of wanting to give them a solo standing ovation as in previous years.

After the Capping Show, my girlfriend and I went to yet another karaoke session at a friend's place. This time, however, it was not so much of a karaoke session, because not long after we had arrived, my girlfriend found a pack of cards and started asking everyone to play the game "Chor Tai Di". It was quite funny to watch, especially when the person playing was supposed to sing at the same time. Talk about a guy's inability to multitask.

We were there for about 2 hours, before we left for Monkey Bar. I had a pretty good time, thanks to my lovely girlfriend, and no less thanks of course to the amount of alcohol I had consumed earlier (I must stress on the fact that, contrary to what I have written so far, I am not an alcoholic). I didn't drink a lot; I drank on an empty stomach.

I am now waiting to go to lunch, because my girlfriend has my car, and it is raining outside. And I don't really want to wake her up because I know that she is exhausted from the past couple of days, and going out yesterday night didn't help for sure. I feel bad for obligating her to go. Bad Shi Leng.

Anyway, earlier in the afternoon, I spent $330 on a pair of suede boots from Mi Piachi. That really is a freaking lot of money to spend at one go, and is currently 2nd on my list of most expensive self-bought belongings, after my iPod. It dethroned the current 3rd item on the list, a pair of leather boots (which are already starting to peel) which I had bought from Overland before Christmas last year for $190.

I LOVE the boots though. I've always loved boots. Especially the almost-knee-length ones. Really love them. The thing with these boots, however, is that they don't fit me, because my legs (not my feet) are too small. There will always be space big enough to put my whole hand in. So I can never find the right one. Well, I did, but that pair has long been worn out, and is now gathering dust in a corner of my room, so yeah. No more since then. Until now. Muaha. I am happy. And broke. But still happy. Muaha.
