Major Boredom and Rants?

Hello Readersss! :) I'm so bored right now. Just woke up at like 7 plus in the evening just now. Was really tired. Had a mild case of food poisoning earlier, so loss of water plus bad tummy ache=passing out. I can't believe O level results are coming out soon. I really hope I pass cos the amount of cash I spent during my holidays, I better pass or I'm sure as hell not gonna see the outside world for quite some time. Hopefully if *touch wood* ok never mind...I'm not even gonna say it.

Hopefully my parents will be a bit more understanding. Boyfriend's not gonna go to college next year I guess. Seeing as though he missed like one of his exams this year, he decided that collge wasn't for him and I do respect his decision. College isn't for everybody...not if you live in Brunei. haha. I've had loads of friends who got work just with their O level results. As long as you have 3 O's, then you're all good. He's gonna look for a job I guess, don't know where yet.

I just realised my ciggies are almost kaput again...Hate the task of buying them now...I know I should really quit, but you guys should know that you can't quit straight away right? Atleast I'm already cutting down on them. I still remember, some retard once told me that it's bullshit to say that you'll die earlier if you quit cold-turkey style,meaning no ciggies at all. Well its a damn fact. If you quit just like that as in completely cut off your cigarettes, you're more likely to get cancer and other diseases. It wont show in a month or that soon, but give it like 8 months or so and the effects will show. Breathing will start to hurt your chest, stamina will be lost and things like that.

Its cos your body has already adapted to the nicotine in the cigarettes, and the lack of nicotine in your body just makes your body go haywire. Its like rehab, but no medical help. That's why some people get nicotine gum or patches, so whenever you have an urge to seriously smoke, put the patch on or chew the gum. My uncle has the gum, but I've never tried it. Bet it tastes like normal gum though, I don't really know.

In Singapore they do have smoking consultations and all that By now most of you will have questioned me on why I can't just get myself a nicotine patch or gum. Well my answer is, I don't know the side effects yet. I can't just get it from a pharmacy. I trust doctors in hospitals and clinics more than the ones in pharmacies actually. Its just me. And plus, I don't think they'll just simply give me the nicotine patches and gums. I'm under 18 for god's sake. In their head, I'm not even supposed to be smoking. Well thank Brunei then.

Singapore's kinda strict on the whole smoking thing, they've actually raised prices on the cigarettes. In Brunei, Marlboro is only $3.10, Singapore.....$11.50~ Ridiculous I know, but that's what you get for being a smoker I guess. Government just sucks up your cash. Since the economy crisis, everything became more expensive. Jobs are no longer an easy thing to keep nor find. Even in the newspaper, its said that people in Singapore mostly visit psychiatrists or therapists. That is how stressful life is for them now. Even the electricity, water and oil prices have gone up.

My grandparents live in Singapore, so I've heard them talk about the rising in prices. Its seriously rediculous the way people manage things here now. Even when you buy a simple thing like chicken rice, the amount of rice is so much, but the amout of chicken meat is so little. If you want more meat, you gotta pay an extra amount which is usually not cheap either. Living in HDB flats here is already considered lucky cos they're not cheap either. But oh well, small country, BIG population and that's what happens.

My day today was uneventful. Didn't have anything to do. Stayed home the whole day. I've been sleeping really late these few days. Messaging with Azmi and surfing the net. I plan to start new this year, change the way I look at my responsibilities. First, I really need to get my parents to treat me like an adult. That way I can start accepting my responsibilites. I'm turning 18 for crying out loud. I can't keep living by their rules. I need to live life on my own now, start taking off the training wheels. I know I messed up once, but hey..mistakes happen so you can learn from them.

I just tried my new Maybelline gel liner and let me tell you, its really really good. It seriously doesn't smudge and its completely waterproof so if you're out the whole day or working, you wont end up with racoon eyes at the end of the day. Its in a small pot. I would put up the picture, but I don't have my camera with me right now. To apply it, you have to use this brush which comes with the small pot of eyeliner. It just glides smoothly across your eyelids when you apply it. There's the mascara also, which works really well too, but I shall stop talking about this haha. Its just me overtyping~

My body's clock is just going haywire. I'm still in 'Italy' time. Maybe I should move there...I mean, not counting the pickpockets, everything is good. Beautiful sceneries and people, good food and ALOT of shopping. Switzerland aint bad either, its more to the serene, peaceful kind of environment. The country where some of the most expensive watches were made. People usually travel there to buy watches for either luxury or investment. Can you believe it? Watches can actually be used for investments.

Fact is the prices of a good watch, like Rolex, Tag Heuer or Breitling, go up by around 10% every year. That's what they told us, and frankly speaking I kind of agree with them too. Its like antique stuff. Wasn't that valuable in the past, but as you can't find it anywhere anymore at this time and age, collectors will pay alot and I mean ALOT of money to pay for these things. Same goes for watches I guess. I got myself a few watches there also. Watches there are usually much cheaper and are Swiss made, meaning, you can't find them anywhere else in the world other than Switzerland itself.

In Italy though, shopping is meant for branded goods like Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, Versace and stuff like that. Brands which are actually from Italy. Other brands will do just as well too as Milan, Italy is famous for its fashion and stuff, but its more worth it to buy Gucci or Louis Vuitton or Prada there cos their collections are all of the latest ones, some of which you can't find anywhere else in the world yet. I know by now, I may seem like I have expensive taste and shit, but I really can't help it but to be interested in all these things. The designs there are just out of this world. I got myself this beautiful piece from Gucci. FIRST ever Gucci bag. Very Very Very happy I actually got it! Haha.

Initially I wanted this other bag from Gucci's Tattoo Heart collection, but I figured, why not buy one which isn't out in stores yet. Azmi saw it and he actually taught me how to tell if a bag is fake or not. Its simple actually, but there are alot of ways, so I really don't wanna type it all down~

I'm planning to buy a new wallet soon. Possibly one from like Billabong or something. I don't wanna be covered in branded shit. Its kinda tacky to do that. I don't know...I mean you can buy them, but I prefer putting them on my body in moderation, or it will really look as if you're trying too hard. Not a model nor a superstar so don't.

What I realised though is that, most people I've seen along the streets, carry fake shit and it sometimes get on my nerves how tacky it looks. I mean, you CAN buy them, but why can't buy the ones that actually look atleast a little bit real? The tacky ones make the real ones look really bad. It sometimes makes those who are carrying the actual authentic bags or purses, get mistaken for carrying fake ones. Its fucking annoying really.

For those who usually judge without even thinking, they'll sometimes mistake a fake one for the authentic one and vice versa which irritates the shit outta me. If you have no knowledge in judging shit, then just don't do it and shut up. I've hung out with people like that before and its so tempting to correct them, but I'll just shut up. Don't really like drama.

My mom's been bugging me to get braces and I really don't know if I should or not. It seems like a painful process. Food gets stuck in your teeth...You can't kiss well...It hurts...Have to make regular trips to the dentist and if it suits your face, then good for you, but if it doesn't you might end up looking like Ugly Betty with a big fat sign on your forehead saying 'Metal Mouth'.

I've recently started reading the novel of the ever famous movie, Twilight. The starting doesn't really catch my attention. I don't know about the rest of it though. Anyways, I'll end it here. Watching Hannibal on tv. Gotta love it haha. Til thenn...ciao bello

&&keep waitin love..keep waiting
