Emerald

I have officially turned into a shop-a-holic.
Went out with the girls today for some shopping. Had my eye set on a lovely white dress from Cotton On back home but since I didn't have much space in my luggage bag to bring it back to JB I thought I'd be able to buy the same dress here instead. Much to my dismay, the dress that I was looking for had sold out -.- ALL the colours and ALL the dresses. Imagine that. 
Anyway we continued walking around. Bought another top from MNG since their sale was still going on. Checked out stuff at Top Shop but nothing caught my eye. 
And then we went into Dorothy Perkins. Usually most of the clothes there are only so-so. But this time round: OMG! Everything was so lovely. The dresses were so beautifully designed and they had so many coloured jeggings I fell instantly in love. Walked around and found a pair of dark red jeggings. It was a size too big though. Tried on a beige one and it fit perfectly but I didn't want that colour. And then I saw this emerald green one. 
Tried it on and it fit like a glove. Saw the price and handed it back to the sales girl. I was miffed. Absolutely miffed.
Silently did some calculation in my head and realized I could actually afford to splurge a little since I got all that Christmas and New Year money. 
And I bought it.
OH!
I bought it.
We're all gonna be dressed to kill tonight.
*Happy sigh.*

Do you have any idea how good it feels to actually own something you really, really, REALLY want?
Yes.
Me too.

It's Dr., Now!

It's been 10 days since my final professional exam & announcement of my results. I'm a doctor. & though I've been studying my entire life to reach this stage it still feels so surreal. It still feels like I need to head back south to continue with classes. Like I'm still on some semester break that is going to come to an end. Every so often throughout my day it hits me; I don't have to study anymore - for now at least. But then this though gets clouded over by other things & I forget. I have to constantly keep reminding myself that I've made it. I've actually, finally made it this far. As daunting as this whole new chapter - that's about to begin - is, part of me is excited to start. I'm excited to see where my future takes me, not only in which field of medicine I decide to pursue but also to which place. Big cities are out of the question for me. I realized, over the past couple of days, that since I've left th...

Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines

Part of me finds it very sad that my own parents don't know the kind of person they have brought up and raised. They see me as someone who is very selfish, dominating, as someone who bullies her sister, arrogant, impatient, unkind, not bothered, irresponsible. Someone who just doesn't care or give a damn. In my mind these past few years, a majority of my thoughts have been revolving around how I will be helping my parents out financially once I start earning. I might not earn much in the beginning. But I already know that chunks of my pay will be going towards my sister's monthly allowance as she will be in college by the time I start working, and also towards my parents, to settle off whatever bills they have. The rest of what I earn will be used for my other necessities and savings, etc. I never tell them this because I feel it is my responsibility as the eldest to do my part in this family. And when the time comes they will see what I'm doing. There's no ...
