Shopping log and misestimation.

Haven’t done much lately except for shopping, shopping and shopping. That kind of left me with nothing to talk about except my acquired goodies. I had of loads fun photoshopping my parquet floor….now they look better than some unbelievably tacky wedding photo backdrops (at least I think so).

Here’s a rundown of what I’ve bought for Chinese New Year.


Traditional top & peach pedal pusher.




Tiger top & ripped skirt.




Maroon keyhole top & old jeans.




Rip-off vintage-ish Mickey top (check out the the real McCoy) & sequinned denim skirt.




Embroidered top and tie-dyed skirt.

By the way, have you noticed? There’s a subliminal message somewhere. Look intently…concentrate. Found it yet? No? Answer’s at the end of this post.

Cornflake nibbles have gone horribly wrong. It’s sickeningly sweet. My bad. I was the one who asked Mom to pour the whole freakin’ bucket of honey into the mixture (the last time she made them was 20+ years ago so she has forgotten ratio ). Tried to amend with flour but to no avail.

And the worst thing is, we have 5 jars of them…

The subliminal message is…

My poonani smells like flower.

Pre-CNY shopping.

10am – 9pm:

Retail therapy at Nichi Fashion City, Jusco Maluri and Mid Valley.

Outcomes:

khaki shorts, dirtcheap MNG top that you will so approve, dirtcheap Bodynit top that will definitely not malfunction, a pair of fuschia sandals that Suan would approve and another pair of mules that she probably won’t.

9pm to 10pm:

Looking for my car in Mid Valley. On my trusty (NOTTTTT) denim heels. At one point thought car was stolen. At one point realised that being both spatial and linguistic learner is akin to double jeopardy. Why? B looked like E and sounded like P. Security personnel said it was A (he checked the information on our ticket – apparently we entered Zone A so our car should be there, NOTTTTT). Finally found it after retracing our route, realised we had used the wrong escalator. It should be another one; just opposite.

Outcomes:

Learnt a couple of lessons.

  • Always stick to Zone G/H
  • Always wear flats for impromptu shopping trip
  • Always jot down the exact location of your parked vehicle
  • Don’t trust the passengers of your vehicle
  • Don’t trust the passengers of your vehicle!
