Now, this is the part where I pretend to be listening

Should be in school learning about Human Centered Design but my stomach was hurting pretty badly this morning and I had diarrohea since yesterday...must have been the mangoes I ate.

Alright, I'm OK now, going to meet Charmian later at Jurong Point to collect my trial pair of contacts. She sounds so wrecked because of school, how boring everything is. She has her interests in Accountancy but and so do I have interest in design but I won't be surprised if all these lectures suck the interest out of us by the end of the course. It's quite worrying, nodding off to sleep every few minutes while listening to the lecturer talk and it's even more worrying when you consider that my lectures are held in small classrooms or labs, and not lecture theatres, that should be easier for me to keep awake right? NO.

Back to the contact lenses, kind of looking forward to wearing them because it should be so much more comfortable. The lady at the opticians' told me my sinus problem may cause infection if I wear contact lenses. But, if I take good care of them, nothing should go wrong right? Then I took a look at the glasses, the Oakleys look awesome but the price tag was bordering on ridiculousity (or ridicule, I don't know). Then I spotted some similar-looking frames which are much much cheaper, that extra few hundred bucks for the brand? Is it worth it? And Oakley T-shirts look really bad, why do people like them so much?

This is kind of random but I think I will do a hate/love chart for clothing brands.

Hate:
- Hang Ten (Ugh, you get what you pay for, that's all I have to say)
- Giordano (If not for the "ME" t-shirts, Giordano would be pretty decent. I mean, the designers are just plainly sticking the big bright bold orange "ME" on ANY thing they can find and sell them, at least have some colour and design coordination, folks)
- Oakley (Their glasses look spiffy but their shirts are not, yucks)

Like:
- Actually the only brand that I really like is Atticus, too bad their stuff take ages to reach local shops, and even then, they are imitations but the quality is there, good enough.



Can't wait for that Queensway malay guy punk t-shirts shop to get some of these designs. Anyone know where else to get these shirts, please tell me.

That's all for today, Song of the day is "I'm Not OK (I Promise)" by My Chemical Romance.
