what a long week it's been...

i can't wait for my semester to end, which will be at the end of this week, but dude...the last week's been insanely long...i'm sleep deprived...i need a massage...

aih...get those horrible assignments over with and i'm DONE!
exams ought to be easy...or at least easier than cramming for deadlines

i've got a twitch for watch shopping. it's a weird fetish i have. i simply love watches!! i love my own watches and i love looking at other people's lovely watches. i've come up with the Ai Leen Watch Theory that says you can tell a person's personality just by looking at their watches.

reasons to substantiate this theory:

1. a watch is expensive enough for a person to think twice before buying. therefore, a lot of thought goes into a watch purchase, thus reflecting individual taste and the way they think.

2. everyone has at least one watch be it their own, borrowed, or given.

3. people wear their watches almost everyday so even if you meet someone for the 1st time, you can already somewhat judge

how it works?
1. look at how it fits.
- too loose = thrifty. they probably bought it quite sometime ago expecting to grow into it. likes to prepare for the future. may have a substantial bank account balance.

2. look at the face color
- silvers / blacks / whites / navy blues = practical. most likely to be an everyday watch

3. look at the strap
- rubber straps = sporty / allergic to metal. it won't smell even after heavy sweating nor will it cause irritation from tarnishing
- metal straps = hmm...i actually don't know. it's just nice to look at i guess, so it indicates that the individual has good taste
- cloth straps = youth. may be younger than you were lead to believe

well, there's more to it really...but then you'll have to be me to understand (though of course, i don't go around judging people by their watches. the theory just came to me while i was on the way to college and thought it pretty amusing. i don't actually use it.)...so like i said, i've got a watch fetish...

i've got an itch for bag shopping. i just realised that bigger bags are always better...i can hardly stuff anything into my small ones anymore...it's a sign of aging. ever see moms using anything smaller than a brick? stuffing an extra kohl pencil into my bag is an entire feat in itself...it's so long...!

i've got a rash for shoe shopping. i can't believe i keep wearing the same black pair. i wanted to keep it for nicer outings than classes but i just can't seem to find anything to match college clothes...black goes with everything right...

sigh...however, looks like i'll be scratching for a month since i've got no money to buy 'rash cream'..."curses on thy sexy Oakley frames!!"

    haha very funny mr gareth yong...but really la. ppl who don't wear watches or used to but don't anymore are probably ppl who don't have a care in the world. it's obviously more convenient to wear a watch when u're constantly keeping track of time but someone who doesn't need to will not have a need to wear a watch either right?
