I don't know why but I'm starting to feel jittery. Ok, maybe "jittery" is an understatement, I'm freaking out right now!!!

It's always easy in the beginning when one agrees and commits by registering and paying, it's only when you're in the process of training (or doing otherwise, which is highly likely!) ,or when that day draws closer after what seemed like eternity that you begin to realise the impact of your actions...haha!

21km sounded OK initially but the digits start to get bigger, now that I'm just 8-9 hours from the real deal. Maybe it's due to all the well wishes prior to the race (especially today) that make the run more of a reality. It's not that I haven't been doing anything to prepare for it, I have been upping the distance by 5km for each jog I did in the last few weeks. I've managed to hit 10km plus before the whole sore throat thing came about, which stopped the training regime even though it was one week before the actual run so....I don't know whether I'm prepared for it. Cedric was telling me the other night about his experience (he's running tmr too!). He ran CONTINUOUSLY for 21km but then, it's not very surprising considering the unit he hails from.

Nevertheless, I'm already in it, there's no turning back! Note to self: I have to get a grip. It's not like I'm climbing Mt. Everest (!!!)

And today's devotional was very, very apt for the occasion:

" Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore, I do not run like a man beating aimlessly...No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."
[1 Corinthians 9:24-27]

Guess I'll just do the best I can tomorrow and run with a purpose!

B&B

Recently, I've been shoe-shopping...hmm,then again it seems like I've been shoe-shopping since a long time ago. I keep telling myself that I have WAYYYY too many pairs of pumps,shoes,sandals, the works...but in the end I'll lose my defenses and mom will start nagging at me for occupying almost the whole shoe cabinet!

Anyway, my "wedges" phase is almost over (after acquiring 2 pairs and gaining much satisfaction!) Recently, my latest feet fetish would be nude stilettos (OK, beige stilettos/heels in an effort not to sound crude). No more glaring, bright footwear that will catch the eye of passersby but the humble pair of nude footies.

Beige footwear tends to soften what would otherwise be a formal look, don't you agree?


Hayden Penetierre!

For some reason, it makes me feel one with Mother Nature cos it gives me the feeling that it's back to basics, that there's nothing to hide and everything is there as it is (OK, I'm starting to wax lyrical already!). Besides, I think I might justtt be able to pull it off, after my experience with brown peep-toe pumps...heh.

Good decision to put Meredith Vieira in beige patent heels with this outfit, makes for a more relaxed setting on a talkshow...

Chloe Sevigny in her beige strappies, a nice alternative to the nude patent stilettos I had in mind!


Just discovered that Christian Louboutin also had the nude/beige look in his signature collection and I believe Ayumi Hamasaki was one of his clientele for the look but unfortunately I can't find a picture of Ayumi wearing it! Nevertheless, I think Jessica Simpson looks nice and sweet in this one...

Somehow, this pair of beige/ off-colour yellow heels seems to tone down Victoria Beckham's intimidating/diva-like persona...at least, something new for a change!

Hmm, don't really have a thing for beige flats but these pair on Angelina Jolie doesn't look too bad...

Ahhhh! If only I can have Marissa Tomei's beige patent version...it's perfect! 8)

This is my favourite picture out of all I've posted so far. Somehow, this shot of Penelope Cruz dressed in soft cream/beige (not forgetting the matching beige footwear!) just proves that dressing simply can make one look elegant. Besides, I think this colour scheme's her element, it sorta complements her personality actually.

OK, I'm not into fashion as most of you already know and this shoe spread is just a one-off thing so...haha! Sartorial issues aside, I have some merry news..hahaha! I got all my 5 modules already,thank God seriously! :D

For core mods, I'm only doing Abnormal Psychology and Social Psych cos I'm unable to get Developmental Psych as it was in high demand (?!?!) And it was quite a relief that I didn't get Stats II cos I can't bear the thought of going through all that Stats shit again la (even though I have to face it eventually in subsequent semesters).

I used up my last elective mod on "Music in the Global Context", which is quite cool cos I finally get to do something I really want (with no obligations and stuff) and I get to actually have lessons at Yong Siew Toh Conservatory! XD

The other 2 would be British lit and Singapore Film (in an attempt to fulfil Uni requirements and actually, or hopefully, have an enjoyable experience out of it). Hopefully my appeal for Devt Psych gets through...

School's starting next Tuesday! No more slacking...I have to swing my CAP upwards from now onwards...crazy muggers....

PS: looking forward to the weekend :)
