SKYSCAPE

Gonna give the site a real quick update because I'm battling a massive headache right now.

Here to share a piece of good news and that is I finally own my very own Reebok Skyscape! Yes, it is the very same pair Miranda Kerr was posing in. ت

It comes in many different colors but only the black, pink and cadmium ones are available in Singapore.

When I first saw these shoes in an issue of SHAPE magazine, I just knew I had to get my hands on a pair. And it so happens my current pair of sports shoes (also by Reebok) have reached a point of no return. What timing! I thought to myself.

I really liked the pink one because it's so feminine and elegant with a sense of edginess and I first saw it at Royal Sporting House at 313 but I didn't think of buying it then only to find out much later that it's sold out island-wide. How devastated I was then but I decided to try my luck again so a couple of days ago, I emailed Royal Sporting House (I believe they're the only distributors for this model) and Benson was really kind enough to assist me.

Although they didn't have the pink in my size, he reserved a pair in the cadmium color for me. I'm a US size 6 and the pair Benson reserved for me is actually the last pair available in that size. (If you're wondering who Benson is, he is the guy who replied my email and over the days, helped me with my search.)

I went down to Stadium by Royal Sporting House (Ngee Ann City, B2) and found the love of my life. ♥♥♥

I initially didn't quite like the cadmium color because as you can tell from the picture above, it seems like a bright orange. Well, too bright if I may add. But when I saw them for the first time yesterday, I absolutely loved them!

What put me in an even better mood is there was a 15% discount so I paid $84.15 instead of the usual $99! Saved $15! What a snatch, I've never bought sports shoes this cheap. My previous pair of Reebok was on sale ($105) when I bought them with Sarah and that was 4 years ago.

Dress: Hervelvetvase (HVV)
Shoes: Skyscape by Reebok

Love how the shoes match with most of my outfits and you wouldn't believe how light they are! Comfort and class all packed into ~142grams! What's even better is they're machine washable so gone are the days you've to slog and scrub hard to clean your shoes. What more, the shoes are so cushioned and flexible that I could walk in them the whole day!

It's so super comfortable and pretty that I cannot resist wearing them out. In fact, I wore them out today as well and I matched in with my orange trumpet skirt from G2000 and a basic white tee. ت I foresee I'll be wearing them out again tomorrow when I head to town with Mama.

What you see on me is the basic twirl dress I purchased for $18 off HVV's sale (which is still ongoing by the way). It's not as lightweight as I imagined it to be, which is good because it saves me the worry of my skirt giving way when the wind blows. I was perspiring buckets because the weather was unforgivable but I love my dress nonetheless. ت

Well, now that I'm done with this I can head to bed. ت

Goodnight y'all!

I remember

It's Sunday night all over again. I can hear slight drizzle against the window panes and I'm watching the lights on the other building go out. People must be heading to bed and I wonder: Do they dread waking up to Monday? Do they hate Monday? Do their bodies feel unusually heavy on Monday mornings? Do they drag their feet into office? It was a surprisingly tough day today. But it reminded me of the conversations I had with Ains. " You're really too nice. That's why people always bully you, " she said. I knew this for a long time but I was thinking of the best way to construe my personality without sounding like a pushover because I'm not. I simply developed a sizable threshold for bullshit over the years. I suppose it is my way of maintaining zen and a passive way to show I'm backing down because I believe there's no reason putting up a fight against anyone who has decided not to give me a real chance even before the argument began. To some, when I...

You learn to live with your crazy

I'm crazy, just slightly  crazy. I'm crazy but maybe I'm not crazy after all? I say the most bizarre things. I walk around with messy hair. I dress down on Mondays and dress up on Fridays. I talk shit with and to my friends. I stuff my face into Shelty’s belly every night. I have a weird obsession with stickers and clouds.  I love walking around bare-footed. I love wearing my pyjamas. I love long walks, especially the ones that could last for hours. I love rolling in bed on Saturday nights while every one else is out.  I’m strange like that. Which makes me feel like a misfit in this society that’s all about fitting in. I don’t depend on technology even though I use an iPhone 6: I keep a handwritten diary, I write letters, I record my daily expenditure, I take notes with a pen and paper, I print my readings if possible, I use highlighters and liquid paper, and the list could go on. Yet I depend on technology at the same time: I scroll through Instagram every mo...

2021

Hello, 2022. Traditionally, this post would have been published on the last day of the year (as a reflection of some sorts) or the first day of the new year (to set out some new goals). But I had spent the last 2 days surrounded by good people and would not have it any other day. But here we are – second day into the new year and back to work when Monday comes around again. Sometimes, it feels like a lot has changed yet nothing has really changed at all.  All things considered, 2021 was not the best year but it was a good year. I felt like I had truly stepped into the world of adulting. This came in the form of looking after my family, including doggo, navigating the corporate world, and getting my act together for the most part. Summing up 2021:  Full-time adult, part-time child There is so much subliminal messaging out there that tells us we have to be at a certain point in our life by the time we reach a certain age. And growing up in a society constantly reminded me I...
