Icez Tenniz: Adidas CC Feather IV
Went to Velocity for lunch and had a pleasant surprise. The Adidas factory outlet is having a sale. It was really crowded and chaotic. The staff there are just not prepared for a sale! They don't know where to get the shoes. They don't know how much is the sale price. And many more stuffs they don't know about.
So I decided to stay focus in this chaotic mess and go for my tennis shoes. I asked a sales assistant and she doesn't know. She went to ask another sales person. Duh! So I managed to find the corner for tennis shoes and picked up a few choices. No price tag. So I asked... again this sales assistant doesn't know as well and need to check. After checking I realised they don't have my size. So I picked another model and asked for my size. They got it. Now for the price... of course he doesn't know! *Surprise surprise* After another round of checking, the price is at $120 before the special discount for the day. $120 is already a discounted price but for that day there's an extra 40% discount. But I heard that you need to present a coupon for that 40%. So I asked the same sales person again and he said don't need coupon. Hmmm..... but I don't really trust him so I asked another more "senior" looking guy and he told me that I need a coupon! Damn. I don't have any coupon! So he advised me that I can ask someone in the queue who has a coupon to buy on my behalf.
My sentiments exactly. But it can be quite embarassing to do that. So I thought I could just try my luck to look at who's in the queue. Super long queue with only 2 counters for payment. And I only have 15 minutes. Then it came to my mind that I always bump into this friend in the Adidas shop. She was just working upstairs so I was praying that she's in the queue. And to my shock, she was really in the queue and was just like the 3rd person reaching the cashier.
Of course, she helped me to buy the shoes and I was elated to find her in the queue or else I wouldn't have been able to get it. Thanks so much!
So presenting my new tennis shoes!
The CC Feather IV updates the Feather line with a new look while maintaining the same attributes that have made the Feather line so popular. Maintaining a light weight shoe with superior ventilation, Adidas has improved the durability and stability with the Feather IV. The breathability comes into play in warm weather situations providing a soothing, cool comfort with the 360 degree Climacool construction. Though this shoe is versatile for all court surfaces, it seems to thrive on clay, thus being a sought-after option during the clay season with many touring pros.
Fit: Length fit is slightly long. Width fit is medium to narrow throughout. Arch support is medium.
Upper: adiTUFF for best abrasion resistance in the toe area. ClimaCool provides 360-degree cooling for the entire foot. Synthetic leather upper for lightweight durability.
Lining: ClimaLite lining for moisture management and breathability.
Inlay: Perforated Clima-Cool sockliner for increased comfort and airflow.
Midsole: 3-D Torsion keeps midfoot stable. Uses adiPREne insert for absorbing shock and adiPRENE + in forefoot for propulsion. Construction of midsole is encapsulated for a more enhanced fit.
Outsole: adiWEAR for best durability in the high-wear areas.
Weight: 13.8 ounces (size 10.5)
Color: White / Metallic Silver/ Black

Icez Family
This is probably the first time I am talking about my family...
Earlier this year, we have plans to go for a family trip. Mainly because Daddy has not taken a plane before. However, he is getting weaker and weaker after his operation. He is having heart problems and now he can't really walk for long distance and will complain about occasional pains and discomfort. Thus, going on a trip might not be a good idea. Then when is a good time? Don't think Daddy will ever be well enough....
Anyway, Daddy has been having a weird swing of mood lately and he just kept quarrelling with Mum over small small matters. Last night and the night before they quarrelled again in the middle of the night. This is not something new for me as I have been living with it throughout my entire life. There were a few instances when I am having my exams the next day but it doesn't matter when they feels like quarrelling. I have sorta given up hope on trying to mediate or reconcile the differences.
So now you know why if you see that I do not have enough sleep...

Icez Thoughtz: Have you tried your best?
What happens when you didn't manage to get or achieve something that you wanted? You feel disappointed, right? Then friends will start consoling you and said it's ok so long as you have tried your best.
But is trying your best really good enough? I meant is it good enough for you or do you still want to achieve the desired outcome?
I used to be able to console myself with,"It's ok, I have tried my best." But recently I started to ponder whether if trying my best is what I wanted in the first place. The answer is no.
When I prepare myself to go for a competition, I want to win or at least get into the finals or something. When I prepare myself for an exam, I want to pass with results I aimed for. And when you kept getting "I have tried my best" as the outcome, you just get sick of it.
So, if what I am doing now doesn't lead me to my desired outcome, maybe I should rethink and reprioritise?

Icez Lifez: Perspectivez?
(Photo: "Waiting..." by Icezworld)
Friends have been giving me feedback on my blog. They said my blog is more of a reporting style but it doesn't say much about me, my life, my perspectives etc.
True to a certain extent. I asked myself why my blog falls under the "reporting" style. I think the reason is I am too busy.
Too busy? Doing what?
Work - Half my time gone!
Tennis - Once every week
Gym - Once every week
Sing
Friendz
Family
Blogz
Facebook
Photos - A lot to be edited
Moviez - A lot of DVDs to watch
Travel - Japan trip planned
Read - Many books on my shelf, waiting to be read...
???
See? My life is so so occupied! And I am so caught up with all these that it becomes a luxury for me to have time to sort out my photos, upload them and write something about it in my blog.
So, where got time to go and think of my perspectives, my thoughts, put them in nice nice words and write them here? :P
If I have the time, I should finish reading all the books I have, watched all the DVDs I have, edit all the photos taken and probably do more writing?
All along I have this dream of writing a book, a chinese book to be precise. A book of short stories, mainly on life, love and including photos taken by me. When I have the time, I will start writing....

Icez Friendz: Specially for you - Taiwan Beef Noodles
I have been thinking of writing this blog entry for a long time. When I came back from Taiwan, I actually bought some of these.
I know this is something you like very much and you always ask me to get for you when I go to Taiwan. So this time I also got some for you. Yes, I still remember.
I know it's not convenient for me to pass it to you now. So, hope that you will see it here. And I am sure that you will get to eat lots of these in future..... I will still get it for you again if I go Taiwan again. :P
This entry appears to be a simple one but however it took me quite some time to think of what I should write, how I should phrase it etc. So it actually took me quite some time.
Just hope that everything will be back to normal very soon.

Icez Tripz: Hong Kong (14 - 18 Aug 2009)
Just came back from Hong Kong. The sales there are crazy and I went berserk and really tired from combing the shopping areas for great deals.
My shopping;
Armani Exchange - 3 tees & a necklace (should be more if not for the fact that they do not have S size for many designs)
Calvin Klein - 1 tee (Not that cheap)
H & M - 3 tees & a belt (A cross between Zara and Topshop)
G2000 - 2 jackets & 3 shirts (Cheaper than SG and managed to find S size for the designs I eyed in SG, which ran out of S size)
5cm - 1 tee & 1 bag (A local designer brand)
Night market - A dress cap
Separately, I also bought an Armani Exchange tee for my bro and a blouse for my mum. One of the G2000 shirt for my dad.
Of course, not forgetting the local goodies from Wing Wah.
I have not really calculated on the amount I spent yet as I paid for most of the stuffs using my card.... so I hope I won't get a shock when I received the statement.
A picture of Hong Kong.
And me with the night market cap. What do you think? Ok?

Icez Phonez: Nokia E71
Finally got my new phone! Nokia E71!
Didn't have the intention to change my phone (yes, I still like my old phone) until M1 sent me this $70 voucher and a free upgrade to a 3G sim card. So, I thought,"Why not?"
I have waited for the price to drop for the past few weeks. It was initially at $368 with upgrade of phone line. Then last weekend they started the promotion and it's at $248. With the $70 voucher, I only paid $178 for it. So I guess it's a good deal. I hope that buying properties can be as easy. *faintz*
