Got back from Sgp yesterday afternoon. Took a cab back home cos couldn't contact Bak Nor. He told us to call him on the mobile when we landed, but he didn't bring the phone with him.Also cos he thought we were told to call him the night before to confirm the time of the flight. So cute, miscommunication all the way.
Anyway, Kris is not working today cos we had to go get our weekly groceries. Luckily for us, his bro & dad managed to consume whichever perishables we had so that there's no wastage nor rots!! hehe...
My Goldy is still alive... thanks to both Koen for looking after it before he flew into Sgp & Tash, after the in-laws left. That reminds me we have to get Tash something for looking after this place. We really didn't have enough time for our own shopping, let alone for other people. I mean, we really wanted to, but even if we have the time, we just didn't have the strength to walk down Orchard Road.
We managed to get some bargains though.
At Hari Raya, I saw my sister's bag & realised that it was exactly the kind of bag I'd been looking for the past 1yr in Perth!! So, the mission started for the search of the bag. The one day we had time to shop (cos I didn't have shoes for my wedding dresses), we managed to go OG at People's Park & it wasn't there. Even went to Harbourtown, saw some really nice bags, but not that one. Of course, I made a mental note to come back to Harbourtown on my own one of these days to go get those bags!! hehehe...
Alas, on the night before our flight, we found it for 50% off at Orchard Emerald. They were changing management AGAIN and had a huge sale... YIPPIIEEZZZ!!! Not only did I find the bag, Kris allowed me to buy 2 of the same bags!! hehehehe... One white & one vanilla!!! YEAH!!!
But earlier that day, I also got a small silver pouch from Tangs. Then, I realised I haven't been clubbing, so that bag is really quite redundant for an old hag like me... but then again, who cares? hehehe...
When Kris was finally too tired to move any further, we went back & upon his insistence, went to West Mall & got that backpack for work. Yeah, people I've been looking forward to a nice backpack I can carry to work. Big enough to stash my book & brolly & perhaps that sandwich. I love carrying it on my bag, especially during the cold wintry months when rain is inevitable!!
So, yeah... in one day, Kris bought for me 4 bags, a pair of silver sandals & a pair of bronzed soft court shoes!! hehehe... plus, I had a nice mee rebus at Wisma Atria's international foodcourt. And I didn't even splash a drop of gravy or drink this time on my new, pristine white top!! hehehe...
