Retail therapy

Yesterday, sis woke up and asked me if i wanna go shopping with her... and i happily agreed, thinking i haven't gone shopping for a long time now and some shopping will definitely be therapeutic...................

Our first stop is as usual our fav Far east plaza. We decided to have our lunch first so we will be energized before we start our shopping spree. There, we went to the popular Hainanese Chicken rice rest. located at 5th floor, but blah.. we were disappointed cos' it doesn't taste the same as before anymore (ownership has changed; previous owner used to speak hainanese..i'm a hainanese too). Anyway, we quickly finished up and started shopping... end result: sis bought in total 3 pairs of shoes, 1 blouse and 1 pair of earrings...what about me? i've more self-control..only bought 1 pair of shoes and 1 pair of earrings (see pics below)

(my usual fav ~white...this pair costs $19.90, cheap right? )



(my first attempt at big earrings... and a gold one..hee!)


And then, we proceeded to Takashimaya, sis said she's got some vouchers, so we can do some shopping there..but i can hardly find anything to buy there, so i decided to grab some UNDIES...(no pics la). When u've got vouchers but nothing to buy, buy undergarments lor..it's a necessity, something u definitely will use. By the way, i realized there's a Baby Fair going on, it's about time for me to start doing some serious shopping for baby stuff, but what the heck, i was totally lost at what to buy~~~~~ mummies out there, please share with me what brand is good- milk bottles, prams, breast pump..etc, can? If u have a checklist, that will be great!

So, we left Takashimaya and walked down further to Centrepoint... I wanted to go Mothercare to take a look at their maternity jeans, but another disappointment...all so big and not-so-chic...left the shop and guessed what, walked past SOLELOVERS...hmmm, took one pair of loafers and tried it, OH~~~so COMFY!!! But the price is abit steep, $81.90...but they've got real nice colors..so tempted...sis said we'll go for dinner first, then can take some time to think about if we reeeeeeeeeally want to buy..so we head off to TCC. While eating, we kept asking each other "so how, u wanna buy or not?" but no conclusion. We paid for the bill, and stepped out of the restaurant, and somehow, very AUTOMATICALLY, we headed back to SOLELOVERS....oops^^ We tried on different colors, and kept telling ourselves that this will be a good investment (for our foot)...So, OKAY! i made up my mind then, BUY la! My excuse is: I'm now pregnant and a good pair of comfy shoes is very important:) Here's the color i chose finally:

(nice shade of blue, and this is made of LAMBSKIN! Sis chose the same color as me...)

But this is not the end yet... when we went to make payment, we were so surprised when the salesgirl asked for $65.20, and not $81.90...(20% discount!) i looked at sis, sis looked at me and we kept quiet, just paid for it. In our hearts, we were rejoicing!

When we stepped out of the shop, i asked sis..got discount ah? howcome never see the discount tag, and furthermore it's on the New Arrivals shelf... But heck anyway, it's a NICE SURPRISE! Sis said, aiya, if she knew got discount, then no need to hesitate for so long in the first place...haha!


It's indeed therapeutic~~~~~~~~So HAPPY and satisfied, we headed home:)
