my feet has gone to heaven....

first of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all readers, family, friends, loved ones.... Have a jolly Christmas eve celebration. I love eves... in fact i prefer eves to actual days. Cos there's anticipation and excitement and those are really the fun part. The actual day usually passes by too quickly. In 2 days, we'll need to take down our Christmas decorations. Not that we have any up... except for maybe a Christmas wreath handmade my mommy.

Anyway, so we're gonna host a house party tonight, in 2 hours i'll be stressing over food and i cross my fingers and hope tht i don't screw up anything, I don't want to ruin such an important day!

Tomorrow, Jlo, Mountain man and I are headed to HARBIN! i am about the experience the lowest temperature i have ever gone to (lowest -20 degrees celcius). I am nervous about the cold, but also super excited! i don't think i've felt this excited before a holiday before... i want to be super prepared for the cold cos i don't want to spoil anybody's fun. I borrowed/bought lots of thermal, jackets, gloves, hats... even a thermal flask so i can drink water. Apparently at -20, ur average plastic bottle turns to ice.

So footwear is a big big headache. It's especially important to keep feet warm cos u get chills easily when ur feet is cold. This morning i put on my wellies hoping that it'd keep me warm. But NO, the opposite happens. The wellies trap the cold in and soon enough, the feet is frozen even after spending hours in the office. I was so cold by 1130am and thought crap, i need to go home to change shoes. Then i passed by (no actually i made a slight detour) to the UGG boutique and tried on one of these babies...(UGG Australia Sunburst)


OMG.... the first feeling was that of relieve. like... Aaaaggghhh..... like the first drop of water u drink after a water fast, or taking a very good crap, only even better. why didn't i think of it earlier, like 2 winters ago. i can live in these boots. i'll never take them off again till winter is over. (kidding, wht would i do with my 7 or 8 other pairs of boots) Anyway these are WAY more comfortable than the classics, it's more hugging and fitting. the classics are very plonketie plonk.

Anyway, guess which celebs have the same model as i do!!!

Eva longoria (middle) has a sand coloured one. i don't know why i know this, but when she first got her paycheck, the first thing she bought was a pair of UGG.



Kate Walsh- or shd i say Dr Addison Montgomery (my heart goes out to the new divorcee, broke up just after 1 year)

Vanessa Minilo. Nick Lachey's girlfriend. It's ok if u don't know who vanessa or nick are, they're so boring and uninteresting anyways.

And i found this on Wiki.

Tips on wearing Uggs. Read the bold tip, it's super funny! but honestly, there are more manly designs. i recommend Uggs to anyone.
  • The benefit of wearing Ugg Boots is that you don't need to wear socks with them even in cold weather as they are warm inside.
  • Although you do not have to wear socks with Uggs, wearing them prevents damage to the fur inside the shoe.
  • You can buy some cleaning products specifically made for Ugg Boots. *Waterproofing them using spray prevents water damage.
  • Men usually look best wearing Ugg boots with jeans, but probably should not wear them at all
  • Wearing Ugg boots with skinny jeans prevents having to tuck them in every so often.
  • You don't have to tuck your jeans into your uggs. Boot-cut jeans over uggs look really cute too!
  • Most people think uggs look best with jeans.
