Clem and i were talking about what we think about when we’re going thru an experience of pain or discomfort.
For example, when i’m at the dentist, i think about fairies flying about a forest and me looking up in wonderment at them.
Just typing that made me ponder whether this is TMI >.<
The topic arose because i was telling him what i was trying to think about when i went thru an excruciating massage this week.
I have a terrible neck + shoulder pain that hit me when i woke up on Sunday morning.
Actually, terrible may not be enough to describe it.
WORST BACK PAIN OF MY LIFE is more like it!
I couldn’t sit properly.
I had to turn my whole body like a robot every time i wanted to look at something.
I looked retarded when i had to pick something up from a low table.
Being in the car while it drove over speed bumps hurt me.
I couldn’t sleep or lie down right.
I begged SpankyCammy to ensure that our massage appointment with KK was taking place on Monday night.
I had spent all of Monday holed up at home with the exception of making my way to the grocery store to make dinner.
I felt i had to try to move around a bit instead of not doing anything.
There’s this thought in my head that if i pretend i’m well, then maybe my body will think so too!
But that didn’t happen this time.
So on Monday night, i drove StephTheVolcano and myself to Cam’s place.
Steph was high on codein ‘cos she has a wisdom tooth that’s causing her a lot of pain,
and she got a new pet pulp sac in her mouth we christened Bobby.
She was trying not to laugh cos it made her jaw hurt more,
and i was trying not to hurt myself with the shudders of my own laughter.
Fail.
When i saw KK, i couldn’t help going, “I’m so happy to see you!”
And was just anticipating getting my neck and back sorted out.
In the beginning, KK massaged my arm instead of my neck, which is what hurt,
but i didn’t question his expertise.
He revealed that he was massaging my arm because the muscle strings in there were connected to my shoulder and neck, and hence were pulling at it.
Weirdly enough, it did work!
I could physically feel my neck loosening up as he massaged my right arm!
Then he moved closer to the problem area and that’s when it really started to hurt.
I was trying to be one with the pain…
and just embrace it instead of trying to fight it and tensing up.
I’m one with the pain…
Yes… yessss i like pain…. *trying to psych self up*
The pain is good for me…
Damn it hurts!
Clem had better be bloody nice to me when i go home!
Home….
I want to go home now!
Okay food. Think about food.
Think about what you’re going to eat later…
Salmon with basil and mint…
Mmmm…
… GODDAMMIT it’s too painful!
I can’t take it!
Then i started crying
Cos it was that painful
I could feel KK shifting the muscle strings and i KNEW it had to be done to correct it,
but BY GAWD it hurt like someone was twisting a cube of metal inside my flesh.
I didn’t say anything cos i wanted him to continue and get it over with,
but i couldn’t help the tears streaming down my face and had to apologize for it. “I’m so sorry i’m crying! I’m like a little kid,” i sniffled
He was really sweet though, and i could feel he felt sad i was in pain.
Anyway. After it was over and done with, i’m much better tho still sore and have to see him next week.
I can drive now, though a few hours of moving around makes me hurt at night.
People tapping me at the event last night made me wince silently.
So if you’re reading this please don’t touch me for the next 2 weeks.
Just call my name okay :p
Back to what i was talking about in the beginning of the post(!)
Clem was telling me i should think about My Little Ponies the next time i’m in pain.
Me: I think about fairies… or sex.
Clem: You could think about fairies having sex on My Little Ponies.
Me: ... … Thanks, thanks a lot! Now i can’t think of any of those things anymore!
Okay, so i was really late for the Topshop event.
In fact, i missed the entire show!
But i tried to catch some of it, i really did,
ran out of French class 30 minutes before it was due to be over,
and rushed to KLCC.
I didn’t want to skip my French class entirely cos hey, i pay for it.
Even though it sometimes feel like a chore to go for classes,
it’s different being a student when you’re an adult!
Anyway i managed to show face,
snap a few pictures,
and view the massive queue inside the store which dissuaded me from buying anything (sorry i can’t take long queues!)
Sheer pants from Topshop
Blink + Ah Xu = Lapsap provided party tunes last night
Thanks to April at Zouk who was very accommodating with our requests for tables and guestlist last Friday!
We had AshleyTheMonkey’s bachelorette party at Barsonic,
seeing most of us were comfortable with the place.
Brides-to-be aren’t supposed to be too happy at their bachelorette party.
They’re made to suffer.
In exchange of all the good times they’re going to enjoy with their soon-to-be husband in the future.
I was invited by Topshop to have a looksee at their newly refurbished KLCC store,
as well as some pieces of Topshop Unique that they’re planning to put on the racks for purchase in a few weeks’ time.
At first i was thinking whether i should go,
cos i’ll be crazy squeezing it before my french class.
But it’s Topshop.
I can’t say no to Topshop.
I can never say to to Topshop.
In fact, the only occurrence of me being negative towards Topshop is by AVOIDING it so i won’t buy anything.
Of course, my self-imposed ban on Topshop ended yesterday since i counted going in there for ‘blog work’. And ended up shopping a little bit.
The leather harness is detachable.
Doubt i can fit into this dress cos long dresses from certain brands are more often than not too long for me.
I ain’t model height yo.
But i am LOVING the print!
I wish i could just buy the fabric, hang it up in my room and play
Spot the eagle!
Spot the raccoon!
Spot the owl!
Spot the mushroom!
Spot the funny bird which looks like a rabbit but could be nothing at all but my eyes and the pattern playing tricks on me!
There are heaps of looks from the Topshop Unique FW 10 runway,
but i’m just gonna post a few.
If you think these are whack-a-doodle, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
I was going thru some of the shots thinking JEEZ WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE ON! Crazy! Whack!
Some i like,
and some, i admit, are a bit hard for even me to swallow.
I like them crazy looking tupais
Mustard + grey + sheer black = Mmmm
Think i’ll give the woolly eyebrows a miss tho
[all pix above provided by Topshop]
Other pieces in store that are available right now:
Leather shorts
This seems nice for a Christmas do
I like this top cos it’s got a sheer back and i seem to lean towards topping up my wardrobe with more textured pieces lately
Looking at the picture of the sweater makes me think it’s too Chrismasy now.
But it looked more appealing in real life. Really.
Cuffed mustard shorts
Leggings
Okay these shoes above are quite evil.
I refrained cos my shoe collection is currently leaking off the shelves unto the floor.
But… dammit.
Self restraint is hard!
This is why i avoid Topshop!
Sheer pants in grandmother floral. Heart!
Silky floral jumpsuit
I was given an invite to the Topshop/Topman fashion show,
and asked whether i could have some invites for KinkyBlueFairy readers as well.
So thanks to them, I have 5x pairs of invites to give out!
Simply be the first 8 to comment your favourite piece you got from Topshop.
Don’t forget to include your full name and email so i can contact you for confirmation.
Out of the 8 commentators, i’ll randomly pick 5.
From past experience, some winners end up not being able to make it so invites then go to the other commentators as not to waste it.
