Today was looked forward to since Monday. Great to be shopping again.. after a few weeks of isolation from the REAL WORLD! Hehe.
Met my shopping khaki, Clara who turned up late again. So while waiting, I participated in the "one-to-one" EZ link card exchange exercise only to be informed that it would have to wait for another 2 days before they could deactivate my GIRO facility. Oh well.. no choice but to wait longer I guess.
We lunched at Paragon Fish & Co. where I had my all time favourite Fish and Chips (Dalelala had spicy peri-peri-catch)!! Mouth-watery-yummy! After that we jalan around Paragon. I spent $221 on Biotherm. Hehe. Double-point rewards so I wouldn't risk losing my membership in the event my annual spending falls below the required for auto-renewal. Clara? She bought a concealer. Which I kept making fun that "it is such a waste to buy a concealer to be used on her". Ok, very bad to joke about that but I couldn't help it! I told her I wanted to get one too. However, considering I have yet to explore and gather any information on how to apply concealer, it's best stay away. Else, application of concealer can turn out obvious and everybody can spot. Defeats the purpose if it's seen right?
Kinda disappointed coz there was nothing at Gstar, no colognes at Centrepoint, no home videos at HMV, no jeans at Levis. Sigh. Consolation? I got a new Braun Buffel wallet since my old one was partially stratched. Clara just kept nagging about my excuses to buy something new. The new collection weren't much of smooth leather (like the one I've always preferred and what I had from the previous collection). The new collection gave thoughts to reduction of stratches, hence the rough-appearance. The sale assistant advised us to try the departmental stores where she believe we could locate the old smooth and hard leather designs. Figured it was time for a change and got one (clueless whether I like it anot). This is my bad habit for shopping. Hehe. But taking a second look at home, I felt I made the prudent and ideal choice.
I asked her over lunch do people buy new stuff because they only get to buy new clothings during CNY or it's a must to put on new clothings. She knew me too well and she responded: "It doesn't apply to you since all year round you're buying new clothings". But then, hearing her mentioning its true people always wear new clothings on CNY, I supposed this is substantial for me to purchase a new clothing! Which I did from River Island! Ok, clinche but it'd do just fine. I like it alot. Now I have NY clothes!! Wanna know how it looks? Meet me for CNY!! *chuckles*
Was damn tempted to move on to my 42th shirt but Clara discouraged me when I asked her for agreement on whether I should buy a new shirt. Hehe. Pink shirt.. looks professional though. Nevermind.
We ended our meeting with coffee and cheesecake! Woohoo.. nice. I told her I wanna get a pocket mirror since I look myself into any shiny surface all the time. She asked sarcastically what I'd do if the mirror cracks because I look into it too much. Irritating. And she got me admitting I'm a vain pot.
She was super overjoyed she could fit into jeans. Naturally, I was a wet blanket, jokingly spiting her saying I could fit into one two waist-length smaller. So humorous!
At the end of the day, am just glad I go out shopping again and had fun lunching and brickering with my close friend, Clara.
