First impressions, not the most accurate things in the world...

I don't understand finance at all...I don't even know why I'm studying it. Just not my cup of tea. After thinking about it, I would like to open my own business, hopefully get the funds from my parents and keep it as a family business. Either A) a candy store or B) a store that sells dresses.

The candy store will be like Dylan's Candy Bar, inspired by Willy Wonka. Obviously it won't be just some ordinary candy store. The candy will be chosen by yours truly, candy that isn't already available in Singapore, something like the British Candy Store in Sydney or the Original Lolly Store here in Melbourne. Munchies, Lion bars, Toffee Crisps, Chocolate Tootsie Pops, Aeros, MilkyWay Magic Stars, Thorntons Original Special Toffee, Penguin bars, etc...Maybe I will bring in some expensive biscuits too like Yoku Moku...YUM!!! Holland V would be a good location, enough expats who miss the candy they get at home and enough school kids who love candy. I was thinking of having a milkshake counter in the store. Waffles, milkshakes, ice-cream (soft serve machines, of course!), root beer floats, etc...Simple stuff that's oh so appealling, maybe some of my home-made panna cotta and creme brulee as well. The counter will be kinda high, like a bar counter and the seats will be round stools with one leg in the centre and a red and while swirl pattern that makes them look like candy. The decor of the store will be colourful of course and just like what you'd see in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. I do like the idea of black and white tiled floors like in those old fashioned ice-cream parlours but I don't know how that would fit in with the theme of Willy Wonka...OOhhhh and there must be a jukebox!!

The dress store will be something like AVANA or The Link. Prom dresses are soooo hard to find in Singapore! I have one hell of a time when I shop for mine. More selection is required!!! Brands like Wayne Cooper, Badgley and Mischka Platinum Label, Notte by Marchesa, Versus, Nicole Miller, Carmen Marc Valvo, Marc Bouwer, ABS by Allen Schwartz, Elie Tahari, Sass & Bide, Rebecca Taylor, etc...Some of those brands are already available in Singapore but not a huge selection. Some of them are rather expensive and others not so much. Whatever it is, Singapore needs a greater variety of prom dresses for every budget!!! Maybe I'll even bring in those one off lines that aren't available in Singapore like Roberto Cavalli for H&M or Zac Posen for Target. Not sure how exactly I'm going to get those brands to let me bring them into Singapore but I will think about that when the times comes I guess. The design of the store will be full on luxury...my own vision for my future walk-in-wardrobe. Gorgeous drapery, thick carpets, full length gold framed mirrors, chaise lounge, huge ass dressing rooms, etc... :)

I entered the wrong pin too many times today while trying to draw money from my nab account. I entered the pin for my mum's card instead of my own pin :s genius ass! Thus I am currently locked out of my account and in need of cash.

Not much happened today...lecture then a quick trip to ikea to grab a few things I needed. I only grabbed those few things I needed as oppose to buying the whole store...Another reason to be proud of me! I have a thing for head pieces <3 I am absolutely fascinated by them! Bought one more in a store just outside ikea.

Quickbooks...UGGHHH!!! What a bitch!!!

Tuesday 28 April 2009

Tuesday was an awful day :(

I woke up late, seems to be the norm these past few months. During the break during my law lecture, I went to check my PBL skills task 2 results. I didn't do too well :( and I actually studied for it!

I met Dennis at the computer lab after the lecture. We tried very hard to do our ARA assignment. What a bitch?! Seriously! I spent three hours doing that shit assignment and I closed it after I thought I saved it. In that split second, three hours of my work went down the drain!!! I rarely use the f word but that was an exception. Stoopid Quickbooks!!! I cried after I found out it wasn't saved. Skipped dinner just to re-do what I lost plus more. We stayed in the lab till 9.30pm and I still wasn't done with my work.

Did I mention how much I detest Quickbooks??? I DETEST QUICKBOOKS!!!!

I was soooo starving when I got back. Had a sandwich while waiting for my pasta to boil. After dinner I had to do lunges to make myself feel better because eating so late just isn't good.

Calorie Count:
-Munchables (lunch)
-Sushi (tea)
-Ham and cheese sandwich (dinner)
-Fusilli with pesto sauce (dinner)
-2 penguin bars (dessert)
-Chocolate covered swiss roll (dessert)
