I was just proof reading my previous post and checking it for grammatical and html errors when I realized that my life is getting more and more superficial. My life now revolves only around work and shopping!

*sobs*

Someone bloody save me before I self-desctruct!!

As an unofficial continuation from my previous post...

I HAVE NEW SHOES *beams*

I know, I know... you're probably going "What!? Again!?". But before you judge, just hear me out!!

I was out with Chin Aun to PWTC for some event that the company is participating in and while we were on the way back to the car, I saw shoes on sale *grins* That alone is reason enough to stop and browse, right? So we browsed... and I saw this pair of brown strappy heels sitting in the corner, alone by itself. I wondered if I should keep it company *winks*

Didn't look too bad, so I asked for my size and the lady told me that they only have Size 9 left. I tried it on anyway and IT FIT!! hahaha.. <--- Don't ask me whether the "hahaha" means that I was deliriously happy or on the brink of hysteria because my feet apparently upped a size *curse* but I can also look at it in a positive light.. if it isn't because my feet is so bloody big, I might not be able to get all these shoes on sale *grins*

*there's the silver lining in my cloud!*

And it was RM63.90 ---> marked down by 50% meaning, it costs only RM31.95!!!!!!!! Isn't that insane!??!?! If only all shoes cost that much *daydreams* I'd probably have 5 times the amount of shoes that I own now

*swoons with happiness*

And the best part of all this........................

Chin Aun offered to pay because it is so cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life is good :D

It's been a while since I last bought shoes. To be specific, I think the last time I bought shoes was when I last blogged about it! Hehehe... Anyways, when I went back home for the Chinese New Year holidays last month, I longed and longed to buy a new pair of shoes for no other reason in particular other than I love buying and owning shoes.

Anyways, I went and looked around for a nice pair that I could wear both for work and during the weekends and I saw this pair in Vincci:

I thought it was pretty nice, with the polished wooden doughnuts in the middle *grin* But it was a whopping RM79.90! Madness right? As much as I liked it, I wasn't about to fork out 80-bucks for a shoe with quality associated with Vincci shoes. I didn't feel that it was worth it so I took my heavy heart and left for home.

A few days later, I received a RM30 voucher from Padini from accumulating points from shopping there the whole year! Great timing right?!?! :D And so I immediately went back to Vincci to buy it...

ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT SIZE 8 IS SOLD OUT!!! *scream*

Oops... I accidentally leaked that I have big fat feet...

Anyways, I hunted the entire Penang Island and finally found the single remaining pair of Size 8 left in Padini Concept Store in Gurney Plaza. During the CNY promotion period, I even got an additonal 10% off!! Isn't that great? :D

And that was the newest pair of shoes that I've had ....................

UNTIL NOW

*grins*

I went to MidValley to check out the property fair in the MidValley Convention Center only spot a sale going on in the Elle outlet.

The last time I went into an Elle outlet, I made an impulse purchase of strappy sandals at RM109.90. But I also saw another pair that I liked and it was RM139.90. There wasn't any sale so I couldn't bring myself to buy it.

But as soon as I walked in, I saw the exact same shoes, marked down by 50%!!!!!!!!!!

THE STARS SHINE DOWN!!!!!!!!

So, I crossed my fingers and asked for a size 8... the LAST pair was still available!!! I was ecstatic beyond words :D *stupid grin on face*

RM139.90 ---- marked down by 50% ==== RM69.90!!!!!!!! WHAT A BARGAIN!!!!

Look at that beauty...

*swoons*

Happily Ever After...

I love fairy tales and happy endings.

No... that's an understatement. I don't know how to put it in words. Maybe it's just me, or girls from my 'era' (I sound as though I'm ancient! haha)... I grew up reading stories that told of faraway places and magical castles. Of beautiful princesses and handsome prince charmings. Of talking animals and magic folklore.

Most of all... my absolute favourite of all... I grew up reading of Happily Ever Afters. And I believed every single word of it.

But then of course, I grew up and tasted what reality was really like. But that never really stopped me from believing in Happily Ever After. I don't laugh and ridicule people who believe in the supernatural and aliens so I don't think anyone has the right to laugh at me for believing in this. Many may scoff, of course. And smack their palms on their foreheads. But there's still this little part inside of me, that really really wants to believe in Happily Ever Afters.

(yeah... and that's the same part that also believes in fairies and unicorns)

I watched Enchanted again today. I think I've watched it a gazillion times. I never had the DVD until Mel burned a copy for me. Then I saw another DVD with bonus treats and I bought that too! Haha... fanatic, you say? I agree wholeheartedly :)

I wonder how it must have been like to be Giselle, to seriously believe in all the things that she believed in. To have such simple and romantic notions about life and love. That the most powerful thing in the world is a True Love's Kiss.

I haven't been here long enough to give worldly advice to anyone. But I have been here long enough to know that sometimes this world really screws around with you, upside down inside and out. And that even though you treat someone nice enough, that doesn't mean that they won't screw you over. I know all that, I've been through all that, time and time again. Don't know when I'll ever learn.

But I still believe that life is as beautiful as God intended it to be :) There'll be many people who'll break your heart and make you cry. But there'll also be those who'll love you unconditionally. If you really want to and if you really believe it, there can be a simplicity to life that reflects on the genuinity and purity of fairy tales.

One of my favourite dialogues from the movie:

Robert : You know, most normal people get to know each other before they get married. They date.

Gisele : Date?

Robert : Yeah. You know, date.

Robert : You go somewhere special. You know, like a restaurant. Or a movie, a museum. Or you just hang out and you talk.

Gisele : What do you talk about?

Robert : About each other. About yourself. About your interests. Your likes, your dislikes. You talk!

Gisele : *laughs* You have such strange ideas about love

Robert : Maybe we should do what you would do. You meet, have lunch, and get married.

Gisele : Oh! You forgot about Happily Ever After

I can never get sick of watching the scene in Central Park :)

And I can watch the scene at the Ball over and over again *smiles* I love the part where Robert mouthed the lyrics to Jon McLaughlin's "So Close" on the ballroom floor

So close to reaching

That famous happy ending

Amost believing

This one's not pretend

Now you're beside me

And look how far we've come

So far

We are

So Close

(because she believes that love means that he would 'dedicate a song with words meant just for you'). So romantic right??? :)

And I so love the soundtrack!

Times may have changed and children today no longer believe in fairy tale endings. I may not be a child anymore (and I haven't been one for a very long time) but I still very much do believe in Happily Ever Afters...
