for you guys who live by online shopping, heres another site for you to bookmark!

giant vintage

lots of vintage sunglasses, and at very reasonable prices too!

i really liked these pieces,









but these are currently top 2 on my list :)





i actually prefer aviators to wayfarers (simply because wayferers just dont fit my face), but i thought these were pretty cool!

shopping is the one thing i cant seem to control, and shoes are my ultimate weakness. the great singapore sale just started, and already, i can feel my pockets getting lighter and lighter. and its only been 2 days. but having said that, im ecstatic with my newest buy from the recent club 21 sale! i got myself a pair of tsumori chisatos and cant wait to have them on my feet and out the door :)



ive never really heard of her (till i got my shoes), but it didnt really matter at that time cos they had my name stamped, no engraved, chiseled, and i just had to, had to get them. i got them for quite a steal too, at only SGD170, when it used to retail for about SGD900 or so. i wouldve been over the moon if they had brought in dries van noten's wedged oxfords, but thank god they didnt, cos that wouldve burned a bigger hole :/

i got myself the tan (cos that was the only one available), but im really liking the other colours they come in!









sigh sigh sigh. time to stop shopping now. within a span of 2 days, ive already spent SGD300 on shoes (yes i bght 2 other pairs), and some more on a pair of pants, a shirt, and.... yoga wear!

despite having started my exercising phase, i havent seem to be losing any weight. in fact, it feels like ive been gaining much more. maybe i should really just stop eating altogether :/

why is it harder to fall asleep when youre extremely tired?

like right now.


Many people have had the unpleasant experience of being unable to sleep despite total exhaustion. If you are overtired, falling asleep or staying that way can be paradoxically difficult for many reasons. Stress, lack of proper nutrition and not taking good care of your body can all affect your sleeping patterns, especially when you are overtired.

It is important to understand why you are so tired to begin with. If you are going through a stressful time at work or in your life, your exhausted brain may seem unable to shut down and let you sleep. Being overtired as a result of stress is common, if you are experiencing emotional or mental trauma, you may temporarily lose the control to relax.

Fatigue can also lead to an inability to sleep because you are trying too hard. If you have ever experienced a night where you lay awake thinking “I must go to sleep why can’t I sleep?” then you may be maintaining consciousness through your efforts to force yourself into sleep. This may also be related to anxiety over not getting enough sleep, knowing that you must get up in a few hours and need all the sleep you can manage.

In some situations where you are overtired, you are likely to have neglected to properly take care of your body. Even though you may not feel hungry or thirsty, lack of good, healthy food or sufficient hydration can be enough to keep you awake. If you are in a busy or stressful period, try to make sure you get a healthy dinner at the very least, and make sure you are drinking plenty of water. Stress on the body can lead to stress on the mind, which may in turn prevent you from sleeping when you most need it.

Many people who are overtired try to make up for it during the day by drinking caffeinated beverages such as coffee. While this may get you through the day, it can actually be counterproductive as it can lose you another night of rest and leave you even more exhausted the next day. If you are overtired, try to stop drinking caffeine by the early afternoon, to make sure it will be out of your system by bedtime. Drink water or low-sugar, cold beverages to wake yourself up, if necessary.

Fatigue can also lead you to neglect good exercise habits. You can certainly get exhausted sitting at a computer all day, but this isn’t the same as fatigue caused by physical exertion. If your body is not maintaining an adequate rate of physical activity, it may not feel the need to shut down and rest even though you would very much like it to. Even if you are overtired, try taking a thirty minute walk after work or when you have time. Be sure not to do highly aerobic activity just before bedtime, however, as it can be counterproductive.

To help you sleep when you are overtired, give yourself time for focused relaxation before bedtime. Instead of flopping down with the television, try reading an old favorite book, doing some light yoga or meditation, or taking a long bath. Help set up your bedroom to be a sleep-inducing location by keeping it clean, uncluttered, and peaceful. Dairy products like milk are high in tryptofan, which can help make you sleepy. Making a cup of warm milk with a bit of cinnamon a nightly habit can be a great way to get calcium and help you fall asleep.

we caught 'ploy' (in case youre trying to read it in thai) after our labourer's picnic, only because we heard wolverine sucked (and im personally not a fan of such shows), and had nothing else to watch. and boy, did this suck even more. even if wolverine did suck, im sure it wldve been a better sucker than bloody ploy. im not even gonna bother explaining the show because there really isn't anything to say about it. the only thing about the movie that stayed in my head was adeline hiccupping beside me and her sudden bursts of laughter every 10 mins.

.....

friendship sure is difficult sometimes.

oh! and i need nail repair badly :/ HELP! i think theyre dying :(
