ahhh...there's nothing like a little retail therapy to soothe the soul after another good year out on the golfing scene. even if it is shopping for other people's christmas presents it sure does feel good knowing you're gonna make someone real happy :)
so 2 days of walking around town with a wallet stuffed with cash has really done me a ton of good. well no point in trying to mug me now cause I've practically spent everything already...eat your heart out.
anyway, yesterday got down to looking at some laptops at mom's friends place at funan. there's a really sweet acer one there thats brand new and just came it, and she's giving it to us at a really good price too...not to mention its really light and compact. haha. sweet. got the screen protector for my N73 but mom's still gotta transfer stuff back onto her O2 so i STILL dont have it! grrr..
then went down to help mom SLOWLY shop until 4ish. then she went on her merry way to the club and I had the rest of the time to do my usual SPEED shopping. managed to buy presents for...
Val, Soph, YuKhing, Nicole K, Nicole S, George and steph.
in only like 40mins...speaking of steph, she called up and asked if i wanted to catch up for dinner. i agreed and headed down to heeren to meet her, jolene, gan and winson for dinner at swensens. absolutely hillarious hanging out with them. then walked around taka a bit more before cabbing home.
I swear my cab driver was like God in disguise talking to me or something cause what he shared with me in like 15 mins really hit me deep and hard (I'll blog about this next time when I've got more time) but that soul trip really touched me.
anyway, yesterday went to the gym for the 2nd day in a row then headed out at about 12 for another day out shopping. first headed down to bacardi's shop to make blue and yellow long pants due for collection 28/12 for only $45 a piece. sweet.
then went to explore vivocity. its like uber big lar! OMG! so many shops, alot of clothing stuff and foodie joints. really is the mega mall of singapore! gotta take like one whole day to explore the whole joint!
then went down to town to meet up with steph who so willingly agreed to hang with me shopping for the day. :) .bought more stuff at boarders before heading over to LIDO to watch OPEN SEASON! haha. damn funneh show. really cute, really nice! really loved it...a bit short though but well worth it!
then went over to cine to buy more stuff. then attempted to walk to GWC (i kinda talked her into it) halfway there it started to rain. so we took refuge under this puny little tree and flagged a cab to take us there...only $2.50 haha. so bought some more presents there before going to ben N jerry's to have a ice-cream sandwich! haha. really nice!
in total bought presents for. mom, gramps, grumps, ash, josh, linus
so we then walked back to somerset MRT station to catch the train. at this point i probably smelt like a horses arse from all the sweating. haha. argued with steph about which train station was closer to home ORCHARD or SOMERSET. unfortunately, the transportationally retarded timmy lost. haha. she went off to united square for dinner while i headed home.
mom picked me up from dover and we had ZI CHA dinner! got home and crashed!
got LIGHT today. among other things to do. tomorrow adjusting braces and checking into marina mandrin for 1 night. wednesday leaving for bintan with warrn juniors (moan)
so thats what yours truly has been up to lately. haha.
and I got sexeh new coloured lenses. yeah biatch! smokin!
God Bless
spread the lovin'
