empty pockets
I am a very happy person.It has been quite a while since i was so efficient in shopping and spending money; I actually felt like i was a tourist in Singapore.
Not very good lah...since my money is very limited in supply.
If you didn't know...i'm a "slow buyer". I need to sit on my decision for a while, walk to and fro from 1 shop to another for like 3 hours before going back to the 1st shop to make my purchase.
Yes, it drives JP nuts...but i think he has gotten used to it already.
Besides, he doesn't really go shopping with me.
Yday, I managed the incredible feat of buying 4 pairs of shoes, 1 dress and a skirt in the span of 1.5 hours. Time includes smoke breaks, walking from one shopping centre to another as well as bubble tea. heh.
I bought a pair of shoes from Nine West, another one from Itti & Otto (which i hereby declare my new favourite brand), and 2 other pairs of cheapo shoes.
Okay lah..damage for the 2 hours is approximately $300.
Yeah, yeah...i bite my shoes. I nibbled at all of them. wahahahahaha.
Better safe than sorry ma...
Oh, and wanna know what's the difference between a $200 and a $80 shoe?
The packaging.
The cheaper brand just dumps your shoes into the box. The expensive one compartmentalizes the shoe box and stuffs it full of paper so the shoes inside the box won't move around.
After you remove the shoe from the box, will have the imprint of the shape of the shoe left behind de lor.
And just in case you were wondering, I paid for all my purchases myself. :P
