eve of Labour Day.
Time Check : exactly 2am.
I am at Nenny's room now, bloggin this out.
Met up with Sheila, Ida to do some mini shopping at Twn after work on the eve of e PH. N know what? Of all the times, my stupid idiotic TOTM had to choose this perfect faithful day to hit. TOTM, how i detest u, but sadly, i hvnt got any options. Shittyshits. And due to that, i had to go home first. HAD TO lah alrites. if u are smart enuf to crack what's TOTM, den u will undastan why i had to go home first.
Was at Taka, chance upon this Bag & Shoes Affair goin on. Bags, shoes from household brands that many have atleast own 1 or 2 are having sale. Real freaking dirt cheap price! Intent to just browse thru the whole collection initially. But after fixing my eyes on one of e big bag, i am already a goner by then.
After much consideration n hesitation, (since i have alr tendered, i am supposed to save my buckeroos to last me till my next job) i finally succumbbed to e temptation. Sheila bought the exact same one too. It came with this huge pink towel. Did i mention that the bag is also pink? It comes in another colour too - turquoise blue. As much as i am not a PINK person, that blue didnt appeal to me too. So for once decide to get something pink for a change.
i have always love big bags, anyway. So with the bag being BIG, that certainly just draws me more to purchasing it. And with the towel thrown in, that is also another plus point. Was told by the salesperson, orig price was $209. After the major discount, i only paid $65 for it.
So, go figure yourself how big are the discount given. no idea if e salesperson was telling me the truth or just to push the products. Salesperson are known to be honey-coated sweet-talker. Trust me, i know best. I am once in e sales line too. From a sales associate at a winter-wear dept to a strapless self adhesive silicone bra promoter. So, sometimes its kinda hard to tell if they really are telling u the truth or just fabricating facts to sell off their stocks.
Anw, if any of u wanna make yr way down to the Shoes & Bag Affair at Taka, its up till this Sunday, 4th May. Located at the hearts of Taka, u know that big open space, the big foyer. The one where they have that gargantuan screen which keeps on playin cartoons? That's where it is.
Despite all e hunger pangs before n thruout the shopping spree, we only come down to eating at e end of all e retailing. For the first time ever i ate at Pasta Mania, the main meal was barely near to delectable. Very memuakan. Maybe i had the creamy chicken, thus very fulling n memuakan. But the garlic bread was superb tho!
Afterwhich we proceed to Coffee Club, i must say i am kinda disappointed with their service. I shall not elaborate more on that. Let it just be a figment of our memories with CC. All i will say is, the iced cappuccino n iced latte is so super damn bitter. Even after pouring the sweetener, it makes no difference.
Now, i am constantly thinking of that 40bux SHYU's shoes. tsktsktsktsk!!! Ida, we shudnt hv gone in to that shop, man! And u still can rub it in by telling me that, the pink one will definitely match with e just-bought bag.! Pictures of e shoes n even the shop itself kept popping up in my mind. That is definitely not a good sign.
Now i am so convinced that my shopping weaknesses are bags n shoes. i can put off any fatigue, hunger pangs, pain in e legs, heels, back, body, head or anywhere else when i am scouting ard for any of e either one mentioned in 2 lines above. Or even use my last dollar to buy that bag/shoe that i have think its a must-have for me, for that matter. If that isnt called weakness, that i dont know what it is.
that $40 SHYU's shoe!!!
Have i mentioned that i am not supposed to spend unnecessarily? *heavy sigh*
But shoe are neccesity, arent they? U need to use them when going out right? (note to self : needs over wants!) [when u want something so badly, u will only think of all e positive things abt it, so they say.]
tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk!!
i think if somebody drags me to Town this week or even next week, i might just give in to my buying-moments again. My willpower, when it comes to shopping, is a little bit weak. not a lil bit. a whole lot weak actually. the urge to buy n own that shoe is just damn overwhelming! Help, someone.!
Having type all e above and as much as i bitch about, i am still beaming with my Guess purchase.
But, i am still not gonna rest my case. Not untill i have finally lay hands on that shoe.
So, at e end of it, i am still buying. Money can always be earn. But once that shoe is gone, e regret will be with u for as long as u pass by any shoe shops.
will post up e pic of that bag the next time i blog, - if i am not feeling lazy, that is.
will als be bloggin on my Labour Day's outing on my next post. N u have to read it! i have to blog abt this uniquely only one in whole of Sgp organic shots bar. *note, its have to. that goes to say its damn niceeee!* ORGANIC. Get that embed in e head. not your normal tequila or any other shots, but organic.
for now,
SHYU's shoes, come to Mama!
xoxo, toodles pples.
