The one for me.

I found this on the "Porter" website regarding my A3-sized tote bag from Porter:
The selection from YOSHIDA KABAN PORTER. “HEAT” is a series made with industrial use tarpaulin and case leather with tough look besides the varister nylon which is used for bullet-proof jacket for its abrasion quality and heat resistance.

Cool! I knew nothing about that except for the fact that my bag looks stylish. And it was a good grab, one that I did not regret buying. I bought it at $268 in Japan, but Jie saw it at Wisma Atria for $468. Drats! I should have grabbed a few more of the other designs.

There's this olive-coloured boston bag also by Porter. At first, I was thinking of getting Jie's friend to grab one home, but the retail price in Japan is guaranteed to burn my pockets and my pants( I suppose...) At SGD$450, there's no way I have the means to buy it now. Sigh...I just have to wait a little longer.

I am done with 'The Time Traveler's Wife' already. It was a really touching story that overwhelmed me with tears at the very end. Knowing that you have to wait decades for your loved one to appear in front of you again, and knowing that your loved one is patiently waiting for your return, it evokes a sense of warmth and affection, of true love that literally transcends time. It seems like a fairytale story, but like anyone else, I do hope for it...

Currently, I'm taking on Twilight. I might be only at the beginning, but the book doesn't seem to match all the hype about it. The characters took too long to be introduced and their personas are pretty vague, like they don't really have a soul to call their own. As compared to 'The Time Traveler's Wife', it lacks the head-on approach and fails to capitalise on the emotions of the characters very strongly. Hopefully, the plot develops well enough in the later stage to make it more interesting and evoke more feelings in readers.

Recently, I've been very tired and forgetful. I went to visit the doctor today and he confirmed that I am suffering from gastric problems. Probably too stressed up, huh? Add that to the varying mealtimes, and it equates to a lot of pain. There's just so much for me to do : v.Actors Farewell Party for Seniors, VS 132nd Speech Day, studies, preparation for Farewell Assembly, Open House and the Promos.

I need to work out another game plan, fast.

P.S Even if it's just a glimpse, it lights up my day. Sorry, in the midst of all these silences, for not being able to do anything. It's a choice that I made, living up to my duties. Perhaps being special, I forgot how to be normal. Sorry.
