kick ass boots


Tis the season for boots! Deprived of winter, boots are never a common sight here in tropical Singapore. Infact, I've never been a boots person until this one. When I first laid eyes on these, all logic went out the window and I sucummbed to my impulse. I had to get it! Despite it relative bulkiness, they are pretty versatile and go well with both jeans and skirts. Who cares if my brother thinks it makes me look like a construction worker or that my boss thinks it most suited for Eskimos living in igloos???


So, here they are, my kick ass boots. Now, I just a need a nice occasion....

google it!



I've been exploring the world recently..on Google Earth. If you havent already heard about it, it's this amazing site when you can see literally every corner of the world in stunning 3D satellite images. Go to www.googlearth.com, download the set up and you're good to go. You'll bascially see something like the pic on the top left. Search for any location in the world and you'll get an aerial view...go closer, and you can rotate the picture to get a 360 degree view. The images are truly spectacular. It's humbling to see how small we all are in the grand scheme of things.

While i'm really flabbbergasted by this great technology, there has been a lot of negative publicity about it, mainly because of security issues it poses. Many are speculating that the site will be close soon. My guess is that it won't be around for too long. I hope I'm wrong..but in the meantime, happy exploring!

Hanging out with my closest friends from polytechnic, we always have the greatest time together. These photos were taken in Chijmes (Singapore). Frida, in yellow, Me and Sheena.
