It's only 5pm and it's already dark outside. God must be angry at us. The pelting raindrops showering on Bursa building, plus the loud and obnoxious rolling sound of thunder and lightning, it feels like the sky is about to be craked open. Looks like Zeus is having a field day throwing lightning bolts at us.
Wow .. i just found out Thor is German. A 'much revered god of the ancient Germanic peoples ...' as per Wikipedia. Who knew? And all this while, I thought only the Greeks had ancient Gods. Just goes to show, you learn something new everyday.

I'm actually staring into this outrageously georgeous pair of Jessica Simpson shows. That lady may not be the greatest singer (I don't fancy her singing skills ... too much shouting) but she sure does make absolutely beautiful shoes. I should know .. I own a pair. And they are so hot, I could die. They're super tall (5 inches tall) but they are to die for. Her Genaviv heels are super fantabulous. The design is simply spectacular. Intricate detailings ... beautiful high heels, not the sharp, thin type, but elegantly made. But it costs USD 92, not inclusive of shipping and handling costs. And they only have it in my size!!!

If you're wondering where exactly I'm browsing all this info at ...? It's at Amazon.com - my shopping haven. The last time I shopped here, I can't remember when. But I bought these fabulous Catwoman-like knee high boots from BCBGirls. I only wore it once and that was last month at GBM's Q2 and Q3 R&R 2009. The theme was 60's/70's Psychadelic Nite. But that's another story altogether.

I first found out about Amazon.com was earlier this year. No, wait. That was when I first started 'shopping' at Amazon. I knew about it a long time ago. Just that I couldn't shop here because of 1) I didn't have a credit card then,

2) They don't ship to Malaysia They still don't.

But I found another way to get my hands on these goodies. Using VPostAsia.com It's not a shopping site, it's a shipping site. It allows us living in 'Restricted Countries' to buy stuff online in the US, Japan, and Europe and many other countries as we choose.

All we have to do is create an account, the company will then creat and address for us, say, in the US (My shipping address is in Oregon), and then we're free to shop as we please.

The only downside is, it caused my credit card to never be the same again. I've reached my max, I pay every month more than the minimum payment (way more), but then I use it again. I can't use it to shop. But the deduct about RM 180 from my credit card each month to pay for an insurance scheme I bought from HSBC. That plus return flight tickets to Johor every month, means that there's no spare change to go shopaholic again.

*sigh* I miss the days when I went crazy shoe shopping online. Now all I've got to wear are the old heels - my 3 Steve Madden (1 which needs some cobbler-ing), Carlos by Carlos Santana, Jessica Simpson, Nine West, my only-once-worn BCBGirls boots, and my store-bought Eclipse and Nose heels. The rest of my heels (10 of them) had to go to the garbage bin because they were no longer wearable.

I need more shoes. I may need to buy flats, but I feel it unnecessary to spend dollars on flats because ultimately, I only wear heels. It's not good for my toes, and for my spine (as my heels are usually 3 inches or higher, though the max I have is 5 inches. Taller than that, and I think it's ugly and crazy and you'd have to be dellusional to wear them)

Dear Amazon, wherefore art thou?

Okie dokie ... it's officially 7pm which is 1100GMT which is my dinner break.

Toodle-oo
