Confessions of a Shopaholic Part 2

Remember part 1? That was only Saturday. I still have not write about Sunday, lol... so here i go!


Before Sunday, I messaged a lot of my friends and asked if they were willing to accompany me for shopping. As always, many of them will reject me without giving a second thought. Finally, one of my poly friend, BW, was very okay with shopping and was willing to shop with me! Yeah! Off i go, to continue my shopping spree!


So, around noon, i met BW at the bus interchange near my house and we boarded a bus, which will take us to Orchard. Taking a bus meant that we will have seats to sit, and can chat along the ride. Usually it will be BW talking, and I'll be listening... LOL
So finally we reached our first stop, Tangs. From there, I bought my first item for the day, a Fossil watch. It cost me about 200 bucks! OMG!?!?!?! @$*&@^($

Haha, never in my life have I bought myself such an expensive watch. But I sick and tired of cheap watch that breaks down after last then a month. So, I decided to buy myself a good and stylish watch. I wanted an Adidas watch, but my wrist skin is sensitive to rubbery plastic material. So I decided to buy a black metal material Fossil watch, so that I can wear for both work and casual occasions. You see, its my only first stop and I have already blown away 200 bucks! So what's more to come?


Next stop, we went to ION Orchard, where I bought some food and drinks because I was hungry, or may be because of the knowledge that I've just burnt a gigantic hole in my wallet. If I remember correctly, I did not buy anything from ION, just the food and drink. So off we go to the third stop, Takashimaya Shopping Centre. Nope, never buy anything there too... Alright let's just fast forward to where I bought something. Oh ya, I bought a brown leather shoe from Pedro. Its also for use in both formal and casual occasions. I think its just me, but I really like something that I can wear for both occasions, so that I do not have to buy too many things. I forgot where I bought that shoes from, think its from ION Orchard, I think. Anyway, after buying those two items, or should I say accessories, I did not buy anything else, just have my dinner and dejectedly went home. Exhausted and Guilt-Stricken.


You would have thought that after buying so many clothes, shirts, pants, watch and shoes, I should be stopping already right? Guess what? I went to Part 3!!! L~O~L

Yes! I really went for another shopping with my good friend, QW, as he still needs to buy his clothes, so I tag along, promising myself that I will only accompany him, and do 'Window Shopping'. But after going to 313@somerset, I'm thinking of getting myself a high top sneakers. I just saw one really chic looking pair at 'Pull and Bear', but it cost $129! So I forced myself not to spend anymore. But I really like it a lot.... Haha... Or I should probably listen to what my friend QW said, "There's always next (CNY) year." LOL

So do you guys think I should buy? Does it match with skinny jeans? It's black in colour, so it does not appear to be too sporty. Can I match it with pants? Do you think Pull and bear shoes are good? Can I wear it with a berms? I have so many questions, yet no one to answer... 'sigh'


Anyway, there's all I have to write....

My first real ex-job...

I had a fun time meeting up with my ex-colleagues from the place I used work in, Kumon. Although I tried to ask a lot of people to go, in the end, only three of us were there... lol


My colleagues look all the same, even after 2 full years of not seeing them, or at least one of them I haven seen her for a long time, the longest auntie I have known, who still works in Kumon.


We went to Sembawang Shopping Centre, the place where we first met. That was the place where the Kumon I work in first started, and its the place where we had all our fun and laughter. But a few years back, they wanted to renovate the place, so we had to move to another location, which was nearer to the MRT station, but still we missed the old place.


After renovating for a few years, the shopping centre has finally reopened. So we went there to have a look, to see what has changed, and what remains the same. We also had our lunch there. During lunch, we talked about everything. Keep up to date about what each of us are doing now, how is my ex-boss and her company doing, how the kids in Kumon are doing, and how my other ex-colleagues are doing.


From my colleague, found out that my ex-boss is doing great! Had a LOT more students, which explains the fat bonus that my ex-colleague got.... LOL

But too much students, and too little teachers, poor ex-colleague don't even have the time to time for dinner. Can you imagine having bread for breakfast, and dinner? Omg, if I were her, I'll sure go out and eat, but then again, she's not me, and she cant possibly go and eat, while leaving the kids inside the centre on their own... Oh well...


I really wanted to go back and work there, but I know I cant... Its too far and the poor isn't enough to cover my expenses. So I guess I'll have to pass.... Who knows, I may go back and work some day. But till then, I just stick to this job first...

Confessions of a Shopaholic

After watching confessions of a shopaholic a few months back, I must say I do empathize with the actress's impulsive behavior to shop. I was very unfortunate to have this kinda experience a few days ago as I was shopping new clothes for Chinese New Year. In case you are not a Chinese, usually around Chinese New Year, we will buy new clothes to wear on that day, thus this traditions carried on till now.

Last Saturday, I went to Singapore Institute of Management(SIM) to register myself to two of the courses there. Hopefully, I will get selected for both of them, so that I can choose from the both of them later. But if I'm accepted to both, I think I will have a dilemma. *sigh*

Anyway, after I registered, I went to Bugis with my friend, to shop. First stop, we went to Illuma, which is just opposite Bugis Junction, as my friend wants to go there and buy herself a cell phone casing for her HTC Hero. I don't understand why she bothers to buy a casing only after using it for a few months, in which the shell of her cell phone is already full of scratches, and she dropped her phone a couple of times! But being a good friend, I did not voice out what I was thinking at that time, oh well, better late then never, or so they say...

Oh and we came across a sales event in the middle of the mall, whereby there were some graphic tees that were sold for ten bucks each! I saw that price, could not resist, and went and bought two tees! That, was the first of my many purchases, or rather, the start of my horrific but satisfying shopping spree.

Next, we went to Bugis Market, which was kinda like a night market, except that its operating in the day. I'm telling you, the place was jam packed with a lot of people, its like a can full of chopsticks, without any room to walk. I just don't understand how people(girls) can shop in this kinda situation, to which my friend shot me a 'duh' look, and told me shopping is like this... LOL
We saw many nice tees and pants but I was hesitating in buying them because I knew that the quality of the material of the pants and tees here are not that good, I knew because I've bought them before, and they tore easily. Nevertheless, my friend still managed to get the extremely short shorts that she was looking for, and myself, another tee which has really nice material and color... lol, who am I to kid, and here I go again, another purchase.

After that, we walk all the way from Bugis, to Orchard Road, because I have some things that I want to have a look there. Went to Somerset@313, got myself another short pants and a hooded shirt. I dunno why, but I really really like hooded clothes! Haha, I dun understand why, but I like the way those hoods dangling behind my neck, makes me look really cool and street smart. Too bad I cant pull the hood over my head in S'pore, because, seriously, I dun think anyone will do that in S'pore anyway. But still, I like hooded clothes and I'm sure I'll continue to buy more of them, haha, because someday, I know that I will get to use it! Last stop was at Uniqlo, where i bought myself three pants and some under clothes. I'm so stupid to go and alter my pants without first trying it on, ask them to measure, then alter according to the measurement. Nooo, I have to be all smart alex, ask them to alter it for me, by just giving them the length that I want. In the end, it was shorter than what I would like, but still, its wearable. Just that it might make me look like a hobbit, have you seen the pants of the hobbits in Lord of The Ring? You get what I mean...

So after all these shopping/ guilty pleasures/ burning a gigantic hole in my wallet/ whateva you wanna call it, my friend and I went to this mini fast food restaurant to have our dinner cum supper. It was very late, we were very hungry, and the restaurant was almost closing. There is one thing that I would like to complain, and that is the service standard of Frolick in Cathy Cineleisure. The attitude of the counter crew lady was really bad, she was very very rude to my friend and I. As I was given a card from Topman to have a free yogurt ice cream from them, I decide to get it there. My friend did not have the card, but still she purchased one. After she purchase hers, I asked the lady if I can have my free ice cream, the counter crew said, "can you wait?" in a very rude tone, and asked my friend, "are you paying for this?", pointing to the cup of ice cream which my friend had ordered. What kinda attitude was that, right? I mean if you want me to wait, I can wait, but I don't think you have to give me this kinda attitude right? And my friend ordered hers without showing the card, so obviously she's paying right? I'm so offended by her attitude, I'm not gonna buy ice cream from Frolick ever again, or at least not in Cathy Cineleisure, or if the B*IT*H is there.

And another very annoying person, is my sister. But I think I've already given up on her attitude and habit, so I'm not gonna write the incident here. Who knows, maybe next time...

All these was only on Saturday, wait till you hear what I bought on Sunday...

Till then... see ya!

Bon Voyage

Yesterday, my friends and I sent our good friend off from the airport. He is going away to the US to study. Actually he's already studying there, its just that he came back awhile for the holidays. So now he's going back there as his school is starting. The saddest part is that he will not come back for another two years or so! Omg... that's very long do you know that!?!?! Plus the fact that I getting one less Ang Bao this year, and the following year! Oh man...lol


But I'm truly gonna miss him. Goodbye, Jason! hehe...


So what's happening this week? Hmm... oh yea, my boss asked me to help her find so movers to move the glass table from the office, to her house. Drags! I'm really starting to feel that I'm not cut out to be doing admin stuffs. I hate it when my boss asked me to call the cleaning lady, asked me to order water cooler's water, asked me to buy stationery, asked me to subscribe to magazines.... I really HATE doing all that. But I have no choice because I'm just a Admin! *Sigh*
Maybe I should just change a job? Hmm... should I? Cos the pay is quite good, and I'm gonna start studying soon, thus the extra income would be useful in the long run. Plus I have bills and insurance to pay. But the job is just...

Another sad thing is that DollHouse is ending soon... Boo! Cant believe there's only 2 more episodes left. Wonder why FOX would wanna X that show... Anyone care to explain? I would have to wait until April for Glee to come back. Luckily, there are a few new shows that are coming out this month, so I'm kinda excited about it! Yipee...

2010

Happy New Year!!!

Its now 2010 and I had a very enjoyable first few days of 2010. New Year's eve was a half day for my work and so I met my friends and have lunch at Burger King, near my working place. We were going to discuss how much each person has to pay for the food and the jerseys that they bought for our friends. 9 of my friends and I were meeting on 1st of Jan 2009 to celebrate our 10 years of friendship! Yea, that's right! We have known each other since secondary school. After the lunch at Burger King, we went to another shopping center where I treated my friends to some desserts. After that, we just went home and that was it. I did not go out and party or countdown to New Year. I just practically stayed home, and watched the countdown celebration. Ya, I know its kinda boring, but I am starting to feel that I too old for these kinda countdown party because I don't really like the loud noise and the over crowded place. Its so hot and squeezy.

1st Jan 2010 was the most memorable and fun day I had for this new year. I'm having a barbecue session at my friend's house to celebrate our 10 years anniversary as friends! Before the barbecue, I met 2 of my friends for some sports, mainly squash, which was the first time that I have tried playing it. It was really fun and I enjoy it very much. You do not have to run very far,like soccer or baseball, because its all within the small room. But I have blisters and cuts after that. Lol, and my body is still aching. This is the sign of not exercising enough. Oh well, after squash, we went for swimming, in the rain. After that, we continued awhile of squash and finally went to shower and get ready for the barbecue!

I cant believe its Sunday now, because it means that tomorrow is Monday, and I will have to go back to work. Going back to work means that I have to submit my report tomorrow, help my boss to subscribe the few magazines and newspapers, do some media research, finish up the coding of some articles, and calling the cleaning auntie.
Life sucks. At least for me it does. And I still have to register myself into a school to get a degree. Wonder if I should continue working there, or get a part-time job. What do you guys think?

Anyway, that's all I have for today, see you!
