Too long too long....

I know... I know, its been wayyyyy too long since I last update...

I went back to school and that sucks up like 85% of my energy and with whatever with works etc etc etc... omg...

How time flies, eh ????

And if you guys have been reading my past entries, you will know that I'm not and never a shoe person until recently...

Recently....... I don't know what happened over me but suddenly, I get very intrigued with shoes.... not Charles & Keith or such kinda shoes but... Louboutins and Manolo sorta range of shoes...

For Louboutins, I like just the normal covered toe shoes till I saw this one:



And for Manolos, it would be this pair of mary-jane that I don't have the picture of... its gorgeous... hmmm... ok, I manage to find this open-toe pairs of mary-jane which looks pretty good too !



Nice, eh ?

I was very very bored just now after school while waiting for Mas... I went and shop around Ngee Ann City till my head was spinning cause it was just so damned crowded...

I got conned by the Chanel promoter into getting a stick of lip gloss thats new in their range and a bottle of nail polish, something I fell in love with at first sight. Its in a pastel shade of pink, kinda like french manicure sorta pink with a tinge of glitter in. Its nice ! :P

I know I sound pretty materialistic in this blog but oh well... I just like the finer things in life... Don't ask me why, but I just do... I think life needs a little bit of materialism to propel us forward... Society made us the way we are !!!! *blame it on society*... lol

Anyway, I've been thinking of what to get for myself for my upcoming birthday. I thought of Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag and a matching koala agenda (in pink !) but after a trip to Chanel today and seeing 8/10 girls in Orchard carrying the Neverfull, I've decided I'm not gonna get that bag anymore. I'm just gonna get the koala agenda with my initial emboss on.

Actually, it was a decision between a pair of Louboutins, Neverfull, Miumiu or Monogramme agenda. And I've decided on the latter. With no matching pen and a 3rd party (prolly from Prints) agenda refills. Anything but Filofax refill. I figured its too late for me to get the official Louis Vuitton refill cause its already April and its expensive ! So I'm just gonna get something to compliment the agenda. Prolly black color paper or something like that.

My grand vision was to have the agenda and the Neverfull (cause I need a stylish bag for school) but damned... its just too many people having the same thing ! *frowns*

Actually come to think about it... I still kinda need a bag for school, I've been togging my old and dirty Esprit canvas tote around and it makes me look quite geeky. I kinda need something to match my outfit, like casual chic. I love my Esprit tote cause its big enough for me to dump a lot of things in but sometimes, the color just clash with what I'm wearing and my casual chic look of the day.

Soooo... I've signed up for like a Degree course... double major... 2 years ! 2 freaking years ! I've been having bridging course on some stuffs that I've never learned before in my Diploma course and others where I've already know (therefore, I think the school is just trying to earn my money). Anyway, its tedious man... total hard work this stupid bridging. I mean imagine Thu: 7pm-10pm. Sat & Sun: 9am-5pm. I mean its like I'm working for 7 days straight man ! And I have like 4 units STRAIGHT ! That's like 28 days of non-stop working ! *sighs*

What to do... I didn't study properly when I was young so now its payback time ! Grrrr.... And for the next 2 years !!!!! *faints*

But by then, I will have a degree and I forsee life would be better for me then... hehehehe... Maybe I can have a closet-full of Manolos and Louboutins in 5 years time :P

Hey hey hey, don't blame me... Society, remembers ????? Hehehe....

Sooooo.... yeah, I'm tired now... I'm bored and tired cause I don't seem to have a life anymore...

So I'm gonna go take shower and rest for a while... stone for a bit and go to bed... I still have class tomorrow... *yawns*

Eye... Flyer and now Great Wheel ?

It has been reported that China (blasted country !) is coming up with a bigger ferris wheel which will be launched in early 2009.

Attached is a picture of the comparison between a normal ferrish wheel, London Eye, Singapore Flyer and the dreaded Beijing Great Wheel (how original !)

(you gotta click on it to have a better view)

I'm not all excited over the Singapore Flyer actually cause to me, its just another ferris wheel, though on a bigger scale.

I'm more excited about the opening of ION... hehehehehe... And I have this very very strong feeling that Juicy Couture gonna open a flagship boutique there... I'm keeping my fingers cross and really hoping its true !

xoxo

Wooooeeeee.....

HA-HA-HA....

If its the same shade as my semi-deceased iPod mini... I WILL get it !!!!

Though it feels a bit wierd in hand cause of its squar-ish shape... but I most prolly will get it if its the same shade... hehehe....

OOOOOooooohhhhhh..... Can't wait to take a look at it for real !!!!

Boutique Bus ?

I boarded a boutique bus today... lol...

I thought it was a new concept for bus till I saw the Nokia ad all over then did I realized that its a marketing campaign from Nokia.

Just in case you're wondering which number the bus is, its 156.

It kinda shocked me a little bit cause the interior was utterly different. They practically pimped the bus !!!!

Instead of rows of chairs facing the driver, it has just a single row of chairs from the beginning to the end of the bus, so the passengers are sitting facing each other.

And the best part is, in between and near the end of the bus, it wasn't just seats anymore. It was like an oval cupped white leather chair !

It has red suede ceiling, JBL speakers all over, white leathered chairs and there were 2 bar-like chairs facing the window with a little table ! There was a poster of a bartender-looking guy facing the seats...

I find the concept really cool ! I mean if a company has HUGE A&P budget to play with, the imagination for the marketing team is unlimited ! And I definitely wouldn't mind working for a company like that.

Come to think about it, Nokia's advertisements have always been pretty impressive and extravagant.

You see, that's the thing with local companies I find. They stinge on their marketing budget. They think that by having their products placed in major stores etc, the job of "marketing" a product is complete. As long as they make money from it, ooohh yeah, they did a good "marketing" job. And stops there.

They always worry about their sales but totally neglect the whole marketing part and forgotten that sales and marketing goes hand in hand together. If you've got good marketing campaign, the sales will come naturally. But if there's sales and the brand is not that strong, its just a short-term gain. Over the long haul, you're losing out. Cause by then, you just need to rely on your promotions to make money and when you do not have any promotions or whatsoever, nobody will buy cause to them, the brand is nothing. No recognition there. No sense of self-fulfillment in getting a prestigious good, although the price can by sky-high.

Nothing, nada, zilch.

But still, they continue to stinge.... *sighs*
