A sick girl who went shopping

I was on half day mc on Monday and full day mc on Tuesday. Had fever, headache and sore throat when i went to work on Monday. It got pretty bad and i was feeling so sick tt i felt like fainting. When i ate, I felt like puking. *bleugh* It was so horrible tt i cudnt take it any more n took a cab to see my family doctor near my home. My fever was 38.3 degress celsius. Quite high hor? The doctor gave me 2 days mc! N i slept the whole afternn away. Altho i was feeling terrible, itz kinda cool tt i dun have to work at the beginning of the week!

But juz when my fever was gone n my sore throat was getting better, it evolved into a bad flu and cough on Thursday! But i was so busy at work, i juz gritted my teeth and work on. Plus there was the Isetan Private Sale which i wanted to go to. But as the night wore on, it got pretty bad and i wanted to puke again when i had my dinner with Li Ying. I was coughing like mad, and my nose was blocked n running all at the same time. So this morning, i went to the doctor's b4 gg to work. The doc wanted to give me a full day mc, but i asked for half day instead coz i had to go to work to rush my report. How sick is that! But i sure am a RESPONSIBLE ger right? hehehe! So i came back in the afternn, and slept all the way again. Itz dinner time now.

Anyway, I was very serious when i swore off shopping for 2 months after my Bkk shopping trip. BUT! There had to be the Isetan Private Sale for cardmembers n guests on Thursday. SHIT...i HAVE to go! So yeah, i went w my colleague Hazel during lunch for an hr, and again after work with Li Ying. I din buy much...3 items only...but i spend about $130! hahaha!

I bought a polka dotted sheer babydoll camisole, a purple m)phosis top and yet another...Guess bag. I realli like this new Guess bag i bought as i was eyeing it for some time alry. It costs $119.90. I went to Bkk in hopes of getting it at a cheaper price. But no! Bkk's branded stuff are a little pricer than S'pore becoz of the higher import and govt tax. It cost like $127 at Bkk. During this Isetan Private Sale, most stuff were gg for 30% off(20% for the wkend public sale) + additional 3% for cardmembers! Yay! So in the end i got it for only $81.41. Good buy right? Yippee! It is a casual beachy looking weekend tote bag which is brownish and gold.

Wish i bought more stuff though, but it was perpetually impossible as it was so darn darn crowded! With all the jostling and pushing thru the crowd, it was realli hard to shop. The whole place was a huge disorganized market-like mess! You muz realli look hard for stuff! I was realli lucky to have found the polka dotted camisole. It was the last new piece they had!

Poor Li Ying din managed to buy anything at all. N Hazel only managed to buy one yellow m)phosis racer back top. Both of them nearly gave up shopping there. Haha. I guess im really the shopping queen...which is a really bad thing. Eventually, my bank account will be empty...

Back from Bangkok

For those of you who missed me...Im back!
Was away from last Wed night to Monday night. Went to Bangkok for 6D5N with my Baby. It was truly a fun fun fun trip! Altho we alry went Bkk last August, it was still as fun to go again! This time we managed to cover most of the shopping places in Bkk.
But we were super duper tired with aching feet and bodies.
Yeah, Princess Shopaholic strikes again.

Some places in Bkk were so hard to shop at, esp the night markets, weekend markets and huge shopping malls! It was a tought feat esp when Bkk's fashion isnt that fantastic. You've gotto really shop in detail and look hard to find nice and suitable stuff! Depends a lot on your luck too, coz the shops are pretty messy and disorganized. If you are lucky, you can realli find some interesting and cool clothes/accessories!

With my shopping skills and perserverance, i managed to comb thru lotsa shops and bought lotsa nice stuff! Managed to use my great bargaining skills to get real good and cheap deals too! Spent ard $1k on pure shopping alone, excluding airfare and accomodation. Super broke now!

I will be uploading more pictures and more entries about my trip soon! Stay tuned!

I am still on leave yesterday and today. Excluding weekends, i took a total of 6 days leave starting last Wed. Have to go back to work tmr...SIANzzz. After not working for so long, I am bound to be super busy at work tmr. Dun even wanna think about my flooded mailbox and the huge pile of work waiting for me. SHIT.

But luckily i came back on monday night, coz the very next night, Thai's PM declared a state of emergancy! Today is made a public holiday and everyone is advised to stay at home. It was said that the streets today are quiet and deserted. If we stayed longer or go on our trip one day later, and Baby n I could be in danger! However, when we were there, nothing happened at all! Mebbe we were too busy shopping and and enjoying ourselves that we were oblivious to all the impending political unrest that was gg on ard us. Plus there was bombing at Hatyai when we were still in Thailand! Luckily it wasnt at Bkk! I will be scared to death! Boy, i sure am lucky that my trip ended on Monday huh?

Anyway, that was sure a good break for me and Baby. More trips to come!
Next trip in Nov' 06: Malaysia with Baby, Hazel and Kevin.
Next Next trip in Dec'06: Star Cruise with Baby and his family
Next Next Next Trip in June'07: Hongkong with Baby, Candy and frens!

My Daddy says he is thinking of gg Switzerland end of this year. SHIT.
I dun think i can go..coz im way way too broke. I need at least $3k to go there!
N I have to pay for myself this time..no more Daddy-sponsored trips.
Haiz...working life SUCKS!

Flying away...yay!

Yay Yay! I'll be getting out of Singapore in one and a half weeks' time for a hoilday. Can't wait!...Can't wait to take a break from work. Have been so darn busy for the past month. Am realli feeling so sick of gg to work, so sick of the office, so sick of my boss and mentor, so sick of those irritating f**king bitches and assholes who like to play office politics and gossip about other ppl all the time. So sick of those senior ranking f**kers with the "i-think-im-so-smart-and-you-are-so-incompetent" atittude towards us, the more junior staff. All of us are suffering, and cant you see that more ppl are quitting coz we are being thrown w so much shit n yet other banks r paying much higher?

Damn it...6 more months till i get my variable bonus. 6 more months of facing shitty ppl till i get to leave. 6 more months to find a new job that suits my interest more, that also pays me more. But I guess it's tough finding a marketing job can pay as much as a bank huh? Dammit! Life sucks.

Cant wait to take my one week long well-deserved break!
