shopping frenzy

This post is gonna be boring, so don't read it if u can't take it. its about SHOPPING. my favourite past time :) i like to talk about the clothes i bought so yada yada yada. Moreover, i blog about what i do and shopping just happens to be one of 'em :) However.. Before i move on..

there are a few things i thought the readers of this blog ought to know:

1. the events and characters that are talked about here in this blog may be fictional. not everything is as they are as i've got a wild imagination.

2. i may seem negative at times because that is, no. 1, my nature and no. 2, it could be the way i feel about things and the things that people prove to me: "The higher the hopes, the greater the disappointment".

3. i am an extremist. i tend to focus a LOT on something for quite some time and then leave it totally alone later on.

and lastly, i do not blog often because i may not have the time to do so, and may not know what to say.
-------------------------------------
as of now, i am totally caught up with shopping. ailay and i went for a shopping frenzy at Bugis just yesterday or the day-before-yesterday (shucks i just can't rem'ber).. :D and i whoppingly spent SGD$40+~!~!! courtesy of an ahlian who sold me a very shiny diamante belt with a dangling diamante star plus a kawaii canvas bag that scratches my soft, cottony abby-crombie *abercrombie* clothes resulting in obvious furring. that was the exact thing i was trying to prevent, but the BIG green bucket tote bag with a removable flower pin was just too pretty to resist :) about the belt, it looks really fab but somehow i feel lian wearing it. -.- also, the hook is too big! so the belt expands by the inch every step that i take cos the hook slips off the diamantes. oh bother! and would anyone like to guess how much i paid for THAT thing? SGD$26.90. shucks shucks shucks. i feel like i just wasted a bomb on nothing.

ailay bought one of those cropped cardigans. i seriously wonder when those short cardigans are gonna go outta fashion.

thankfully, our snack didn't cost much. 7 nuggets ($2.80) and a pink guava juice ($2.50) and a fruit punch ($2.50) were going at half price at this cafe @ Bugis! whoo! we shared the nuggets and ended up paying only $2 each for the meal! Budget! the cafe was cosy and all, but it was such a pity their sofa seats had flies sitting on them.

going for a showroom on sat with shereen and her 2 other friends. i'm praying that ailay would come along so i wouldn't be too left out. i admit i'm a nut at socialising. taking ECH made me realise i don't have social-know-how at all. haha :) ABERCROMBIE *abby-crombie* & Hollister here i come!!! WAHAHAHA :D I got a feeling Embellished (with Rhinestones or sequins) & Embroided stuff are gonna be in soon. c0ffe3_sg seems to be bringing in those skirts with an entirely-sequinned waistband. i think those are wayyy too showy and shiny for me!

Abercrombie's stuff are really plain, but they just simply appeal to me :) I am so excited i can hardly wait to see the purple tee with cross-stitching on it! *i've never seen anything like it - cross stitch!!!!!*

I think i need to save now.. go on a savings plan with a bank or insurance company or something (i should've started earlier!). Please recommend me to some if you know of any! The spending's driving me up the wall actually, cos i didn't get myself a job this holiday (except for a 3-day thing at a bank where its permanent staff are all "machines" who don't stop working!) and i'm totally depending on my allowance. I've spent almost $120 just on online stuff alone, and not everything can be worn to school cos some are like.. inappropriate for ECH in my opinion (tubes/halters/spags/laced stuff) and i hate wearing stuff with two-layers. Just how hot can the weather get?

o and lastly, i just wanna say, if u happen to own a shop and u're the shopkeeper, please DO NOT hard sell. cos for people like ailay and i, hard-selling simply turns us off. even if u were sth that really rocks our world, as long as u pester us to buy it before we even decide on anything, we'll most probably just drop the item off and run away in fear. hard-sellers are scarey-crap who make my hair stand! just why are u so desperate to sell ur stuff off?
