lil’ snow white

as i take a closer look at everyone ard me (ok not literally), i discover that there’re really many ppl who have been thru a broken family. my lil’ cousin’s dad is overseas wif a new wife n her mum will soon abandon her n move overseas as well, havin no intent of leavin any money for her. she assumes tt we as relatives will not leave her daughter to starve in the street. it’s really bizarre..

then i got to noe how some frens who grew up in unhappy homes never trust marriage again, or end up fallin in n out of love constantly, or simply jus erase that part of e memory, refusing to face it again cos e bad memories trigger tears. as if it can ever be erased. it really sounded like me, at least in e past..

one can never overestimate e effects of growin up in a broken family, esp so if it happens when e child is alrdy in his/her teens, since it’s e phase durin which extrinsic influences shape their character and values form. my parents’ divorce prolly din affect me that much till i was much older.. when i start to wonder how things will be like for me in future. 

i thank god for lettin sing eu into my life n makin such a big difference in it. it was never easy n we’ve gone thru so much to overcome e emotional obstacles. i’m truly grateful to have him in my life! *i love u very much, xiao xing*

but i feel very sad for my lil’ cousin, for havin such selfish parents. we’re most prolly gonna take her in, if she’s willin to come over. we may not have an extra room in e house, neither does my mum have as much cash to spare as e rest, but at least we’re e only ones who’re willin to try n make e effort. maybe e others are unable, n will never be able to feel e poor girl’s pain.

i ordered this pair of boots frm VS!

it took only 2 days to arrive in uk!! i mean after they shipped lar obviously..

and then i was told tt i have to pay import tax for this. wtf.. they charged me £5+ for the tax n i was sure i was charged more than required since VS is always dum with their goods’ value declaration. since i hate to be shortchanged, i started callin UPS to clarify n ended up wasting £3+ on phone bills IN VAIN! cos i was directed here, there, everywhere but no one cld answer my query. i decided to give up b4 i spend anymore ££ on the exorbitant phone bills. this place is a place for idiots!! argh..

anyway then.. after a few days of delay at e customs, i finally received my boots! but.. they’re not really as nice. the design is nice, but the fit is bad. so sad.. it’s my worst pair of boots.. i tried to order half a size bigger than my previous pair (which was half a size bigger than e previous one) cos i thot it’d be more comfy, but no.. it’s too big n wayyy too looose n it makes me look like i have carrot-calves. i think i will order another pair when it goes on sale at e end of e season. *hmph.. *
