the random adventures of jojo

Seriously, I need to stop shopping! Although, I am a firm believer in retail therapy. Just look at me today – all smiles and excited because I’d bought stuff! Hehe.

Headed down to the Puma private sale this morning with Pinkie. He didn’t find anything he liked (he didn’t like the super comfy stripey guys jacket that I picked out! Sheesh, how can anyone not like stripes??), but I picked up my hot pink jacket! Loveeeee!! I love jackets and sweaters; it’s just that most of the time it’s too damn hot to wear them in Singapore.

How do you wear your jackets? Nice and snug or loose and flappy baggy?

I used to love super huge jackets because of how big the were – so comfy and you can hide all fat under all that excess cloth! Hehe. I think I might have grown a little out of that phase though, because I realised while trying on jackets today, I’m starting to prefer them to fit a little more snugly so that the jacket doesn’t look too baggy.

One major rule I have when picking out jackets is that the sleeves have to be longer than my arms! What bugs me the most about jackets is when my hands are freezing cold while the rest of me is warm. I like tucking my hands into the sleeves and erm, flapping around. Much to Pinkie’s amusement, this flapping business. Haha.

We left Puma after awhile and popped by the Royal Sporting House factory outlet store downstairs. Walked around the shop and Pinkie pointed out a hot pink Nike jacket to me. I KNOW RIGHT. Hot pink again?? O but don’t stone me, please. This cut’s different from all my other jackets – it’s a proper lady’s jacket cut that fits super snugly. Just nice, actually! Pinkie didn’t like the collar much but I gave in to pinkdom and picked it up anyway. 50% off! Heee.

Circled the store a few more times because he was waiting for his friend to get back to him on a pair of shoes he wanted. Whilst going round and round, I kinda accidentally chanced upon a pair of Lacoste red pumps. So cute! I thought they looked like strawberries! Hehehe. I just had to try them on, of course.

Pottered around looking for sizes in the boxes stacked under the shelves, when suddenly my superhero boyfriend accidentally found a pair in black! Which was awesomeeeee. And erm yes, I bought them too. *shame faced* O but they were at 50% discount too! AHAHAHA. I is teh rocks!

After seeing me spend money (which I really shouldn’t, but you know, I rationalise and figure that I need these things for school and they’d be useful to have, although I know I don’t need 2 hot pink jackets in a day but I didn’t like the other colour options you see! yes. rambling.) Pinkie decided that he wanted to shop around too, so we headed to Vivo.

Can I just say that having GPS on my phone is totally awesome?! Never mind that there are a thousand other reasons why I love my iPhone (which, in case you didn’t know, is also decked in hot pink!) but having GPS + data plan rocks! Being able to check the map, check gothere.sg, check the next bus arriving time, check bus routes… just rocks my socks. Heee.

We walked around Vivo just window shopping, and it was lovely. I love simple days like these when we’re just spending time together. Hehe.

He requested to have lunch at McDonald’s because…….. SHAKER FRIES ARE BACK!!!!!!!!! Shake shake shake! After the frenzy on Twitter yesterday morning when I woke up, I ordered McDees for my late lunch and happily informed him that I had seaweed shaker fries! Yummy! I wish the pepper one would come back though! Together with the black pepper burger, please. And twister fries too! Oooh.

Oh, and McWings make my day, despite the amount of fat and oil… Too damn nice!

EY. I miss the rice burger at McDees, actually. I miss it, A LOT. Even though no one else really liked it. Not many of my friends, that is.. but I really really really liked it a lot. When it got taken off the menu, I was so sad! Never really know what to eat there anymore since then. Haha. They’re all second choices, bah.

Pinkie also convinced me to invest in a proper pair of shades with proper protection for my eyes against UV rays, and not get cheap shades. There goes money again… especially since I found a pair of Ray Ban’s that I likeeee. Have you any idea how difficult it is to find a pair of shades that actually fits my face?! OMG. Trying not to spend money!!! Boo.

I seem to be digressing a lot today, huh?

Anyway, today was an important day also because MY BROTHER BOOKED OUT FROM CAMP FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!! *happy face* I’m not extremely close to my brother, but I really was rather sad that he was going into NS two weeks ago. During the two weeks, he’d call or sms me quite often to just chat. We’ve never really had that sort of close relationship, so it was really nice. Something good that NS brings, I suppose.

I wanted to take him to the secret Jappy place that Qwen introduced me too, but we didn’t make it in time for their last order. My tummy is sad, cos she really wanted the beef teriyaki set tonight! Boo. My second choice didn’t happen either, because they ran out of hot soup for their ramen. SHEESH.

Headed to Waraku instead. Joel was happy with dinner, so I guess that’s all that mattered. I’m so not used to seeing him with no hair on his head!! Hahahaha. He looks older without hair. Lol.

Ah well. It’s devotions with Pinkie tomorrow, and then Hillsong concert. Awesome.

Have we forgotten what true worship is?
God’s greatest and most important command in the bible is to Love one another. Worshipping God goes far and beyond the mere definition of the word itself, i/e praying and going to church etc etc. Worship is an act of your entire life.
As I’d noted in a post on Flippers & Paws, what use is it if you focus on praying etc if you neglect the felt needs of the ones you are watching over?? Sigh…

Dear God, please bring me back close to you. Thank you.
I pray in Jesus’ most precious name, Amen.

Alright, I need to get some sleep to recover from my 2 hour sleep nap last night and a long day out!! Grarrrrrr.
