Tonight shall be the last night spent in a room that is not my own. (For a while at least. Maybe. ) Leaving Bangkok tomorrow and back to HK. I'm so excited for August, holy shit. I love my family dearly but I am a fond advocate of PERSONAL SPACE™ and I have been slightly missing the comforts of my room. Or at least the part where I spend 14 hours a day sitting in there alone.
Bangkok is... idk. It's a hard place to describe. It is both seedy and posh and busy and the traffic makes me want to smack my head into a wall repeatedly and it's just a mixture of upper-class malls and cheap street stalls.
Bangkok has been shopping. As a girl, this should have made me very happy, but along with my innate female love of buying new material products for myself, I also possess the world's shittiest attention span. My sister, the material queen, was all too happy to spend hours and hours wandering around malls to my distaste. My sister, thirteen years old and the female who wears the least amount of makeup in the house, ironically also bought enough beauty products and cosmetics to makeover a small town.
My sister, thirteen years old, also spent 20 minutes looking at Victoria's Secret stuff whilst I, seventeen years old, fawned over cat pillows. (I will not list here the things I would do for a cat pillow.)
Supporting evidence. She-is-a-brand-whore vs. my whatever-fucking-works mentality. I did have to cave in and buy some new makeup now, because my selfish non-makeup wearing but addicted to makeup sister did not pack her eye makeup to bring on holiday. This posed a problem for me as I've been stealing and using all her eye makeup for the last few months.
I very rarely splurge and go clothes shopping back home. I'll buy maybe a piece or two a month. This usually comes down to my ~alt*~indieness,*~ because the 'teen clothing stores' back home pretty much are the staples of everyone's wardrobes back there. Walking into one of the stores, you could probably identify every piece of clothing there by someone who's worn it to school. (This is actually one of the games I play when i'm dragged into one of these stores. Second most played, after "Wtf why would anyone wear that?")
I'm not even in school anymore, (hah,) so this matters less, but I still am pretty fussy over this. Therefore, I did treat myself to a few things from here and there, and I may have drawn a few funny looks for rearranging the furniture in forever 21 because I was too frigging short to reach the top shelf.
I WAS planning a post concerning all my hauls and whatnot, but my mother is absolutely neurotic about the suitcases and packing - fair enough, I guess someone has to do it - and has been obsessively packing since we arrived. She has also spent the last few hours coming into our room in 15 minute or so intervals to remind us not to buy anymore shampoos and conditioners (my one weaknes) and whatnot because the bags are getting heavy.
Today's attire feat. me pulling idiotic faces in the mirror.
I bought a lot more casual summer stuff, which is good because my wardrobe was really more tailored to winter, because up until recently, I used to wear only jeans. (I know, god, I was one of those people.)
So the end of a holiday usually calls for some sort of reflection, but I've used up all my reflectives filling in all those dumb things at school. It was nice and I had fun but some bits were boring and the beach still sucks and all my friends were at home. Is that sufficient?
