Met up with Glash on Friday as planned
Woke up super goddamned early coz I didn't wanna be late
I was in fact running a mild temperature the previous day
It had seemed to worsen in the morning but I just ignored it
I COULD NOT LET GLASH DOWN!!!
As much as I busied myself bustling around the house getting ready,
my inner self just wanted to crawl back under the blanket & rest my hot forehead on my pillows I ended up BOOKING for a cab haha..
Somehow..I did not quite feel like taking the MRT+BUS ride to Jurong West
One reason was coz I felt ill..another was coz my mp3 player wasn't with me =(
So yeah..by the time I was in Glash's house chit chatting with Aunty I felt much better
We headed to City Hall..haha my "ex" working area..and somehow I dunno why
That place reminded me of someone
Silly me.
Shopped around..yeah sales were brisk..
While I found shopping at places like Robinsons ,Dorothy Perkins,Topshop,River Island
REALLLLY worth it..
some shops..reallllly sucked big time..BIG BIG time.
For example @ the Esprit outlet..pretty NORMAL cotton tshirts with some RANDOM very photoshoppy designs were selling from $40 - $75!! You call that ON SALE?
Hellllooo...COTTON TSHIRT $75??
Normal lightweight cropped jackets..$85 onwards??
I'm no miser & if I love something I usually would not think twice about getting it but this was plain fking stupid..
The only things $30 and/or below were the very thin material like t-shirts..random stripped tees..in unbelievably FUGLY colours..nothing in there made me go WOW..except for the price tags..you can get those at THIS Fashion for ..8 bucks I think?
Great Spore Ripoff la...
The other place was Marks & Spencers'..
Now this place I can understand the higher price tags..coz of the quality you can get...what I was totally put off by..were the goods on display.
Please permit me to use this word again..
F-U-G-L-Y
totally revolting.
I felt like I was walking through a maze of never ending HORIZONTAL stripes
Pale yellow stripes.
Pale pink stripes.
Yellow tops with shocking green prints.
Excuse me..I had to stare incredulously at that one.
There was ONLY one top that I really liked..and this was a design that had been hanging in all their other outlets as well since ..January I think?From $98 to $70 and now to $40..which was super cheap!!I was seriously thinking of getting 2 of that top..one in black as well as white but by the time we walked twice around the store,I was too nauseated to bother much that too.
I wondered...
They cater to people of a wide range of body sizes..
As in from Asian to Caucasion right?
Then why are the designs ALWAYS in horizontal stripes?
Do they not realize that this only makes BIG people look even BIGGER?
AND shorter?
Would it kill them to design something in more flattering shades,rather than plain old white..cream..yellow..dirty green..beige??
I have been dieting & grumbling & whining but I'm thankful that I do not have to resort to depending on places like these...
that obviously cater mostly to the Caucasion tourists..most of whom are just glad that they can get their hands on something to wear in this tiny tropical island!
Needless to say,Glash and I made a frenzied exit..
I guess I'll just stick to the outlet at Paragon..so much more sophisticated & chic.
Ok ok enough about that..anyways I did get a few gorgeous tops & Glash got the pant shorts,top & gold belt that she absolutely loved..I'm such a a lovely cousin ahhh..ahem ahem..
Guess due to my exhaustion,had my calf muscles pulling up several times..
Really made me lose my mood for further shopping..
We were so busy shopping we didn't even take our usual random photos!!
By the way before I go..just wanna apologize to all who were unable to get me thru Friendster or my Hp.. Friendster was down for 24hrs & my hp seems permenantly mental..I can see the alert that I have new messages but unable to retrieve them.
Haiz..
This is me,Patricia
