It's been a while

It's been a while that I've done a few things that I did today.

I went for a drive.

I had my hair cut.

I spent my day at home (as in there was no outing, just a drive and hair cut).

I FINISHED READING A WHOLE BOOK! =O

Surprising to both me, and most of my friends I guess.

Other than the short list of things that I did, that I haven't done in a while, I had a chance to try out a pair of shoes that Jie got for me, which is suppose to be a birthday present. The shoes are shown below, and well, I didn't like them as much as I believe that I will. Not sure why, but *shrug*

These quotes may sound depressing at times, but they are indisputably usually true.
