I have been listening to this song repeatedly every night, since bff-Jess sang this song during our ktv session couple of months ago... It was after the local drama " 拍卖" aired on TV, then I know this was the theme song for the show!! I didn't have the time to watch the drama when it just started showing, as I was pretty tied up with a new semester in my part-time studies... But after I "settled" in, I then managed to get home before 10.15pm after classes, to watch 拍卖 and before I knew it, it's already last episode tonight already!!!! =(
Luckily this show had a great, happy ending... I hate sad or tragic endings.. Make ppl cry only... ='(
Most women own 17 pairs of shoes!Finally we've found some poll results that actually seem accurate! A new footwear survey from ShopSmart, a Consumer Reports publication, interviewed over 1,000 women and found that the average woman owns 17 pairs of shoes and spends around $49 per pair. Of those, only three pairs are in regular rotation. Sounds about right, doesn't it? Some shoe-crazed ladies right now are shaking their heads in disagreement. Well, you may not fall in the norm! 13 percent of women have over 30 pairs of shoes, not including sneakers. Feeling better now? Here are some more cool stats from the survey:
• Women buy around three pairs of shoes each year
Me: Yes yes!! I think i probably buy ard 5 pairs a year??? =D
• 39% of women prefer flats more than any other shoe
Me: Flats are more comfy but my shoes are mainly heels as they can make me look taller and slimmer, hopefully... LOL
• 33% have spent more than $100 on a pair of shoes
Me: Not for me, on average I spend ard 30-35 bucks on a pair... think the most ex I've ever spent on a pair of shoes is ard 80bucks bah....
• only 25% have worn shoes that are 4″ or higher
Me: I supposed so! 3 & a half inch heel is oredi quite a "killer", so 4"??? How to walk??? Dun think I even own a pair that high too...
• 46% have bought an ugly pair for comfort, while 60% endure pain for pretty shoes
Me: I would rather just endure pain for pretty shoes... So I probably won't buy ugly pair for the sake of comfort... haaaa....
• 61% have carried comfy shoes in their bag to change into
Me: Carry another pair of shoes in bag is like damn inconvenient, esp when my bag's oredi damn heavy usually... But I have a pair of slippers & another more comfy lower-heeled shoes in the office to change into.. ;)
• 48% have had shoe-related injuries
Me: Well, I did almost twisted my ankle a couple of times due to the high heel I wore.. Probably have slipped once or twice too!! -_-"
• 19% shop to cheer themselves up
Me: This DEFINITELY works for me... when I feel moody, retail therapy is the BEST solution (other than "hapi-hr")... LOL
• 29% shop for shoes online
Me: Can't do this, cos my feet's kinda odd & ugly shape... HAve to really try the shoe to know if it fits well.... =X
• 14% have hidden at least one purchase from their spouse
Me: Well well... guilty as charged... BUT not hiding from spouse, but from my mum & sis!!!!
• 51% notice the shoes others are wearing
Me: I will automatically check out what others are wearing and make mental notes on what's nice, so that I can look out for it on my next shoe-shopping... =)
• 28% feel shoes make the outfit
Me: For sure! Shoes play a very important part in our overall dressing... Usually I try to match my shoes to accessories or belts or bags... Otherwise, will be to match with the top OR the bottom...
So many women are obsessed with shoes. Lisa Lee Freeman, editor in chief of ShopSmart, explains why. "Shoes never make your butt look big, you don't have to worry about squeezing into them if you've put on a couple of pounds, and they can instantly make you feel sexier."
Part of my shoes, packed in the too-small-for-more-shoes cabinet in the living room... Thes rest, I'd to squeeze into the storeroom and another shoe rack near the door.... I really don't have alot of shoes you know... It's only about 35-40 pairs I supposed....
I LOVE shopping, especially for shoes!!!! It is really really my "WEAK spot", totally... I'm actually sorta "banned" form buying shoes cos I hogged up so much of the shoe cabinet space, as well as the space in the storeroom, that my sis said she's gonna "charged" rental fee for my shoes if I'm gonna buy anymore... LOL... Honestly, I don't think I have alot of shoes (I'm sure there're much more ladies out there will really ALOT ALOT of shoes)... Plus, all my shoes are NOT expensive ones!
And below is my latest "collection" from Susbstance (this my only my 2nd pair of shoes from them)!!! It was 'love at first sight' with this! I LOVE the colour, love the cutting, love the wedge heel, love the comfort!! Susbstance shoes are really quite worth buying!! Pretty reasonable pricing.... It's gonna be my fav brand, for now.... Am gonna wear it tmr and I hope I can pull off the colour matching to my outift... Else, I'm gonna look pretty weird I guess...
Okay, off to check the wardrobe & try to match accessories and overall outfit to the shoes.... =)
Have been sorta into this new hobby for some months oredi... Yes, it is kite-flying!!!! The first actual experience was at West Coast park, wif The bff+BF & group of his friends... All of us were kinda "green" at it & were running around frantically (like crazy bunch of kids), while trying to get our kites to soar!!! But end up, epic FAIL man!!! But was damn hilarious can! Cos it seemed like the whole field, we were the only ones who DID the RUNNING around!! Funi!! -_-"
Then the guys started to explore, learn & figure out and suddenly, they were all like semi-pros after a few outings!!!
And then me & bff got our own single-line kite too!!! I chose this, cos I love the multi-colours and chose this shape cos they said it should be rather easy to fly??? But wasn't really quite that easy cos it's tail was pretty "heavy", so need strong wind to get it up & soaring!!! =)
Okay, this is my kite-flying one-third-of-a-mentor!!! Why I said one-third?? Cos the other two-thirds are The bff's BF & Bro-Lon!!! This mentor (below in the pic) damn funi de... He said, to successfully fly the kite, one of the most impt thing (other than strong wind), is to have a 1.8m TALL "stand"!!! LOL!!! But it's really proven to be pretty useful ok... Haaa....Look at the kites in the sky!!! Ain't they all just look so nice!!!!!! This was taken at West Coast Park... But was still nothing comparable to the amount of kites at the Marina Barrage (our now FAV kite-flying venue)!!! ;) Don't you think my kite looks so much like a cobra with the LED lights fixed to the tip of it!!! =p
Marina Barrage is windy, have great views of The Sands & Flyer as well... One of the best place for kite-flying and that's why, it's SOOO crowded..... My kite looks like it's luminous in the night sky!!! I didn't fix on LED lights, it's just that the kite happens to be flying at where the spotlights were shining at!! Nice ya???
And then the guys started to get tired of the single line kite and went into Stunt Kites! Tried it a couple of times, pretty hard to control and just doesn't seemed to be able to get a hang of it... and the bad thing is that it can get damaged easily if you didn't know how to 'land' it well.... Dun wanna risk spending the $$ and getting it damaged, especially when I'm SO clumsy! =X
So the other alternative is...... to get a Power Kite!!!! Easier to play and NOT easy to be damaged!!! Am so exicted cos i'm gonna be getting one soon, hopefully by weekend, so that I can play with it!!!!!
I'd wanted to get this one (in the above pic), but was told that it's not really suitable for me as this is more like for really beginner, beginner... So I guess the better option is to get a more 'challenging' one... And that, shall be decided by tmr!!!!
On another note, another "new" thing i'm into, as I have already mentioned in my earlier post, is my part-time business marketing course.... So far am 3 weeks into the lessons... It's really pretty enriching and interesting... I've already learn alot, but is really just too much to be absorped and digested... And now I'm starting to worry about my 3 assignments that will be due in abt a month+ later.... *gulp* It's really pretty tiring to be working and studying at the same time, while making time for some fun & relacing activities too!!! Well, we all still ought to have a work(& study)-life balance right!!! Hahahahaha... OMG!!! And it's again, so late already... No wonder my eyes are like shutting!!! Time to hit the sack!!! =D

This is a pretty interesting article I came across on Yahoo News today. Do read on! =)
National Geographic Magazine released a video clip, below, showing the most “typical” human face on the planet as part of its series on the human race called “Population 7 billion.”
The researchers conclude that a male, 28-year-old Han Chinese man is the most typical person on the planet. There are 9 million of them.
The image above is a composite of nearly 200,000 photos of men who fit that description.
Don’t get used to the results, however. Within 20 years, the most typical person will reside in India.
