I DROVE TO SUNGEI WANG YESTERDAY.
*cue for trumpets to blare*
Actually, it’s no big deal, I have driven there before, that was to pick up my altered 50’s style pink and black dress 😀 But now I feel damn terrer because this time I had to battle the 5.oo pm jam AND I took the NPE highway! So there! I didn’t once get lost! PLUS, now Ruth knows what a wonderful driver I am *nudges Ruth for clarification* Jia Min, on the other hand has already acknowledged my greatness a long time ago:P
We bought lotsa stuff! At first we couldn’t seem to find anything very nice to buy. And I kept looking for that perfect bag/top/skirt to buy that would brighten up my entire existence and make me look like a million yen.
BUT I COULDN’T FIND IT! This was the case of a junkie who had gone for rehabilitation (ie. controlled shopping for a loooong time) and couldn’t find the best drug for the best high.
I kep thinking like some old ah-ee in the market that, “NO! I am sure I can find something fresher than this stale piece of brown and dry looking fish!”
But I digress.
Then! The Ruth and the Jia Min made me buy a purple scarf from Comma just to get the spirit of shopping alive.
It didn’t work. Especially since my favorite shop wouldn’t let me try on tops and Jia Min’s fav shop’s prices had increased like ten-fold.
So we had lunch.
And then the purchases just kept on coming.
All of us bought the exact same bag! But in different colors; mine was light pink, Min’s dark pink and Ruth’s white. Wahaha!! 3 same bags in 3 different continents: Asia, North America and Australia.
Then I also got a white top while Min got 2 pink tops and Ruth got another bag and 2 other tops (issit?). The drug high is still around!
Happiness is retail therapy.
My dream job would be to be a personal shopper ala Becky Bloomwood.
