i guess i have a love-hate relationship with with consumer laws here.
yes, it's great i can refund stuff, no questions asked.
but now... sigh, that condition has back-fired on me.
mum's made a firm decision on returning the other gucci bag she got for me, cos my sister got another one yesterday.
it's not biggy actually, just a little black bag.
perhaps i got attached to it...
it's just like a whirlwind romance that fell apart way too fast.
sigh.
see....this is how emo i can get.
all upset over a silly little bag.
but i will be alright.
Dave will be here soon...very soon.
that's all that matters.

queued up with mum outside Selfridges at 10am......
killed time by chatting with this bunch of singaporeans: they're everywhere!
only got into the store at 11.40am.
though once in, all hell broke loose.
i got the bag i've been eyeing for the past year, while mum got one for herself and i picked another one-with the excuse it's for my sis!
heeee.
it's all Half-priced.
sooo.....
la la la~
loving Summer now!
*a rainbow's formed outside and it's the 2nd one this week*
something's odd.
but oh well....

it did stop pissing and when i got to hyde park @ 7pm,
james brown was still doing his opening act.
that man is old but he sure still can grooove!
he left the stage at 7.30 and we spent the next hour waiting for RHCP to appear....
talked lots of rubbish and anticipated the much warned about "pissing" & "bottle tossing".
pissing: happened right next to us, courtesy of the typical english men.
he did it on the grass & immediately the crowd moved away from him, disgusted.
obviously he wasnt shameful about it, cos he went to stand on the very patch to show the crowd that it's Just pee!
bottle tossing: happened every single time someone climbed on top of a friend's shoulders to get a better view.
the crowd behind gets blocked and so bottle tossing starts, with the idea that the person gets hit & gets upset and gets down.
this happens thru the concert...sometimes just ending up as a tossing war,with random ppl tossing back and forth.
so u end up seeing smirnoff ice, golsch beer & mineral water bottles flying around and trying not to get wet!
VERY impt to be alert as some bottles contain pee.....
while some people threw apples, or whole cups of Carling beer.
the English.
tsk tsk.
uncivilised.
though i was very amused by their efforts of throwing toilet rolls thru the air>> their version of streamers.
and since we have pink, blue, green, purple etc toilet rolls in the country..... they actually looked good.
all in all, the concert was not too bad.
sound system could have been better though.
but i guess with such a large crowd (85,000 i heard...), it was acceptable la.
listen to the concert online at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/redhot/listen_again.shtml
too lazy to do the proper linking.

spent sat sitting out the heat @ a cafe, chit chatting with alice...
hopped into Harrods and bought krispy kremes.
*droooool*
then it was off to have duck for dinner with 3 others, at four seasons as usual.
ate and ate till i felt i was 3 mths preggy.
then drinks.
popped into all-bar-one @ Gloucester for an erdinger, & got chased out cos it was closing time.
so we walked on to this really nice, slightly posh bar at south ken.
no cover, great music and a guy playing the tambla live!
kinda reminded me of Zouk.
had Moet,Moet,frozen magerita & watermelon martini.
it was in total and absolutely lovely night!
though i did end up sleeping on the floor of my friend's hotel room.......
cos i was too lazy to find a way home. =P

last night was Bond Night, where shops along Old Bond and New Bond street open till 9pm.
AND they have free drinks too.
i first went into Tiffany & Co, which was giving out classy fruit punch which had mixture of fresh berries in them.
then with my sister's invite, i went on to LV and sipped Moet while prancing around the boutique & eating canapes.
left the area to catch the movie, but not before i got a free issue of Evening Standard & a bottle of Perrier.
Great freebies eh!
especially the Moet...
cant wait till the next Bond Night in 2005.

was discussing with my friends the other day about gmail when they asked me:
"why didnt you choose renee@gmail.com, instead of having mintia@gmail.com?"
i was stunned for a moment and then started to curse myself for not putting more thought into my choice of email address.
urghs.
doesn't help that i have no more invites to register another account.
i shall have to be contented with this then.
mintia@gmail.com
*frown*

the buses stank.
my attempt to buy eurostar tickets to Paris was so full of hiccups,
i wanted to throw myself against the wall to end my agony.
got the tickets after 2 long waits, a trip home & back and and......
urghs.
i shall talk no more of this horrendous experience.
shall go nurse my swollen feet.

woke up at 8am on sunday & instantly panick sinked into my brains.
i was suppose to catch the 9.05am train @ Liverpool Street Station.....
anyway jumped in the shower, grabbed my bag and was out of the house in 30 mins.
not very fast i know.
hopped on the 8.35am bus and was resigned to my fate that i was never going to make it.
BUT
surprise surprise,
i made it to the train station @ 9.00am and with 5 mins to spare i dashed to get my tickets.
then ran like mad till my ankles hurt, to the train.
looked at the clock just before i go onto the train and it was 9:04:25
now, just how lucky can that be?
Great Yarmouth was COLD.
was so disappointed that it was cloudy all the way and i ended up huddled in my jacket & trying to enjoy the music.
oh well.
at least it was a fun day out with my friends.
we looked at gals shaking their asses and commented on poor guys,
who had to carry their not tiny galfriends on their shoulders.
anyway i got home just before 1am.
oh,
and i finished reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown in that one day.
read on the train till my eyes were blurrrrrr...
got out of bed today only @ 3pm.
rushed to Battersea park for Graduate Fashion Week and DAMN IT WAS HOT.
i think i almost fainted in that tentage that had no fans.
but it was a great fashion show and i was glad i got to see Lizzy's work!
then it was off to dinner & drinks.
okie. i'm off to bed.
very very very tired.
did too many things with a too tired body and to little time.

Got woken up with a phone call from a classmate asking me how to write an essay she has to re-do. I then realize it’s almost 1pm and decided to go online, as usual.
Learnt from Alvin that I can sell my Gmail invites on ebay and am just chatting when, the postman came by.
A Tiffany & Co envelope is in my hands.
I shudder.
Hesitated to open it…….so scared, that I called Dave up and whined.
Moment of truth
“I regret to inform you that, on this occasion, we will not be progressing further with your application”
stunned
Very disappointed in myself.
This is the first job that I didn’t make it through an interview.
I feel like shit.
Going to cry my eyes out now.

just back from a night over trip to manchester.
a 4.5 hr train ride there to watch England draw with Japan 1-1, as i expected.
NEVER watch friendly matches.
BORING BORING BORING!
the only thing exciting was the oh so savvy match ticket (it's like a tap-&-go ezlink type)and watching Beckham take the corners....
survived a night of pigging out on Mala steamboat and barely 2 hours of sleep,
only to then hop on the 12.47pm train back to london.
i'm so tired.
want to just sleep....but i got to go greenwich.
*groan*
