Tis' the season to be shopping

Last weekend, I went on a happy weekend shopping spree! Yay! So happie with my buys as im soooo in the mood to SHOP! Im soaking up to the Xmas and holiday spirit ...and i feel especially happie. Hence the mood to shop and buy stuff to celebrate my happie mood!

Wahaha i know im crapping. Let's face it, I love shopping everyday, everywhere, at any time of the year. Spent a total of $400++ last weekend....and still counting! I think i might just spend my whole pay away this month. FYI, $400 - $600 is approximately the average amount I spend in 1 month on solely shopping alone, not in 2 days! (P.S. I do have a habit of saving up a certain percentage of my monthly take home pay k!) Here are some of my buys!

1. 1st buy: I bought this very pretty Anna Sui Limited Xmas Edition Eye Palette for $59 from Istean! Saw this in a magazine and when i walked pass Isetan on my way back to office after lunch last Friday, I decided to take a look. N within 5 mins of walking in, I bought it! It's so pretty! Shaped like a a little bag! Plus the eye colours are a little shimmery/glittery. So pretty!

2. I also bought a Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil ($60) in the next 5 mins! Enjoyed a 3% discount using my Isetan credit card. Not bad lar, at least got some discount. Better than nothing. haha.

3. New Nike Sports Bra-top ($55) from Nike Women! I got it at 30% off ($38) coz i got voucher! Yeah! This is to motivate me to excercise and go to the gym. After suffering from gastric flu, i actually lost some weight pretty effortlessly! *so happie!* So now that I am back to my slimmer old self, i have to work hard to tone and maintain!

4. Adidas shorts ($39). I also got adidias voucher for this! 30% off ($28)! Buti think it's a bit long for my standard. Gonna get it altered a little shorter so it looks cuter. Haha!

5. I also bought an Adidas sling bag for my lil' bro as a Xmas and farewell gift for him ($79, $55 after discount) . He is gg NS alry. Sian =(

6. On Sat, Baby n I went to Vivocity! I bought him a pair of Calvin Klein trunk boxers ($40)!Baby loves Calvin Klein underwear! He says itz super comfortable. But coz itz quite expensive, he dun buy much of it. So i buy for him lor! From Tangs...Coz got 6% rebate w Citibank credit card Anyway, he loves the model and keeps the box to ogle at the model's body. He wanna have a body like that. Wahaha! He also said the model's d**k looks like it is of a damn good size. For me, i just dun like the long floppy blonde hair.

7. Me bought underwear too! Bought a pair of pretty g-string from La Senza! It's sheer and feels v soft and comfy! Nice huh?!

8. Crop wrap-around Jacket from Topshop ($119)! I got a 20% Topshop discount voucher! This jacket is so nice! Dark grey with silvery shimmers. I like!

9. Got this shopping card from Topshop which will be given with a purchase of $80 and above. This "Christmas Shophopper" card has $10 value in it and must be used by 25th Dec at Topshop, Topman, Warehouse, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge or Ben Sherman. With every additional $80 spent, there will be $10 added in the card! This means more shopping for me!

10. Charles and Keith black open-toe heels ($35)! This one got no discount. Sian. UOB credit cardholders supposed to get 10% discount but promo ended in end Nov. Din expect to buy shoes fr C&K so din go borrow discount card fr my colleague. But nvm lar, Charles & Keith shoes r quite cheap!

Baby carried all my shopping bags for me on sat at Vivocity. Haha! Look so poor thing. He was realli super tired walking ard w me the whole day. Thanks my dearest!

I almost bought this Bebe dress! I like it so so much! Costs $299. Was all ready to buy it. But! The smallest size, XS, is still a little too big for me. I had to tie the ribbon at the back tighter to make it fit. But then the back wun be that nice alry coz got a bit of gathers. =( The salesperson said the sizes r all quite big coz it's Canadian size. I tried a bustier tube top too, but also too big. I have a couple of Bebe tops in my wardrobe! N they r XS. haha. Only some cutting fits me. So sad. i really dig this dress!

Anyway, the fitting rooms at Vivocity's Bebe outlet is HUGE! Super big and I love it so much! Haha! I LOVE BEBE!

Next up, SALE at Mango and GG>5! More shopping for me! Yay yay!

Need to shop for a dress for my upcoming D&D too. That's a headache!

If you are wondering how come i got so many discount vouchers, itz coz my Baby's good fren is working under Wing Tai. So gave me some vouchers for those labels/shops under the WIng Tai Group! =)

Special thanks to Baby for being the BEST Shopping BF ever! Super patient, with great taste and honest comments. It has always been fun shopping w you. Esp the 6 days shopping madness in Bangkok in Sept! *MUACKZ!*

The 3 types of commuters i dislike...

1. Pushy OLD Women
2. Smelly stinky people
3. Ungentlemanly men (aka pussy wussy boys!)

I must be damn suay or what coz Im always encountering these 3 types of people when I travel on the MRT. I guess (2) Smelly stinky people are quite common....but i always..and i mean ALWAYS..run into my most hated (1) PUSHY, OLD and SUPER GAN JIONG obasan!

Like today, i was boarding a crowded train during endof lunch period to go back to my office. As i waited patiently (n POLITELY!) at the side of the door to give way to alighting commuters, I felt someone nudging me hard from the side. To my horror! I saw this OLD WOMAN trying to PUSH me and SQUEEZE between me and the door. N there is only a tiny space as i was standing right next to the door! She seemed SUPER GAN JIONG to get on the train. PLEASE LAR AUNTIE!!! No need to push right? The blardie doors wun slam shut on you lar! You think SMRT stoopid isit? Chey! Plus there are alry NO seats on the ALRY CROWDED train. Push oso still NO SEATS wat!

Another more common scenario which i always encounter, is old aunties pushing me to get out of the train. They are realli super gan jiong coz sometimes, there is no one in front blocking their way at all! Mebbe except me lar. But they can always shift a little to walk pass me wat..no need to walk in a straight line right? I got no eyes behind leh. So i cant see that you are behind me or that you wanna get off the train leh. N sometimes im just standing NEXT to them, not even blocking their way! And they also wanna push me, machiam I am gg to fight with them to get off the train!

Either that or the doors havent even open, yet they wanna quickly get to the door and stand in front of the door. 'Eh auntie, first to alight from the train got prize isit?' I dunno why old woman like to push me. So many other ppl on the train...but they just have to push ME!? Why? So unfair? U mean I so suay meh? Always the one who is blocking old women's way? Or they see me easy to bully? Hmrpf!!! Or i look so evil that you think im gonna fight with you to get off the train? Siao! Im alighting at a different stop lar auntie!

I believe not many of us run into (3) ungentlemanly men. But i did! N these men really irk me! They jostle with ppl to get on the train, and fight with woman for seats! Last week, i got on the train at Raffles Place, and was walking towards an empty seat. Den, suddenly, this man 'chiong' forward and reached the seat b4 me...and SAT down! In front of me! Den ACT blur! FUCK LAR! I was so pissed! Yah lar, walk faster den me so u win lar? Obviously he saw me walking towards the seat, and i even had my eyes on it! Yet he still wanna fight w me. How UNGENTLEMANLY is that?! Unless it's an old folk or young kid...i wun mind. But a strong, healthy working man??!! Fighting w women for a seat? This is absurd!

Next bunch of ppl i cant stand...the very common 'Smelly people'. I wanna faint every time i step into a crowded and stuffy train where there is no air ventilation. Mebbe my nose sensitive or wat but im always encountering smelly ppl on my way home! Either ppl with BO or well..blanga-type. Dun mean to be discriminating others...but realli very smelly mah! Singaporeans shud be highly encouraged to practise personal hygience!!! It is understandable if you've got a bad tummy ache and cant control your fart...or you had bad luck and stepped on dog shit. But just by being smelly? it's just plain EEKS to me. =( SMRT to consider installing air fresheners on trains!

Dinner & Dance

Today, my colleague sent me a photo that we took at a function yesterday. These people in the photo also happen to be my fellow D&D committee members. Today, we had our weekly D&D meeting. N next week onwards, due to the D&D day drawing near, meetings will be held twice weekly instead, each lasting ard 2hrs each. Just when i thot my work seems to be clearing up a little and i can stop staying late in the office...Dun seem very possible now =


I always in the Dinner & Dance Organizing Committee. Why why why? Haiz. I cant rem when was the last time i actually went to a D&D which i did not have a role in organizing. Prob in JC? Oh yeah..i rem now... the last D&D i went where i can truly sit back, relax and enjoy the show (n my food!) was during the first year of my uni days. To date, I have organized more than half of the D&Ds i went to!

This year, i thought i could get out of it. Afterall, it was my 2nd D&D with my company, and I alry organized my first D&D with them..which oso happened to be our sector's first D&D! My supervisor said i wun be involved this year as i already did my so-called "national service". Yeah...i even had to do a dance routine in the opening act last D&D.

Just when i thot i could get out of it, barely a couple of weeks after the new committee was formed, they needed some old blood to assist and guide them along as it was pretty chaotic at the beginning. So, one of the business heads, who is the chairperson of the committee roped me in as I was the Overall Coordinator in the previous committee. It is oso part of my job to organize external events with business partners and customers. So she prob thinks who else but me right? This is how I ended up with the role of "the Advisor" to her and the committee. Great. More work.

It's not that i dun enjoy organizing D&D. I love it! Itz fun! N the sense of achievement you get at every successful event is great! Lotsa attention n recognition on you and stuff. But it is realli hard work and i feel like retiring from the scene of D&Ds. Hahahaha. After so many years of organizing, i guess you will lose some enthusiasm along the way. Plus, committee members dun get to take part in the Lucky Draw! Argh! Tough luck! I wanna win something! I have NVR won anything at a D&D before! =( And it can get realli stressful because it involves EVERYONE of your colleagues, plus ALL your bosses, plus other TOP TOP management from the various bankwide depts, and most importantly, the Deputy Chairman. So nothing must screw up! Else it will look bad on our dept's bosses and my head will prob ROLL.

Hopefully, I wun be in another D&D organizing committee next year. I wanna enjoy my D&D and win lucky draw prizes!
