nope
I didn’t end up going to buy
adidas Original Stan Smith
pretending I am buying for my boyfie on
the Valentine’s Day
I went to somewhere nearer
reachable by one-bus-journey
was playing “selfie-for-boyfie”
since there was no one on the bus
I always chose the side with sun
and the sun looked really lovely today
pretty awesome Lunar New Year décor
although this is not a Chinese populated community
I snapped quite a lot
because I have been trying to tell my dad
how I saluted this mall for their their effort
or least for the willingness of budget allocation
what?
straight to the main point?
alright alright
so I ended up in Bershka
such mesmerizing baby blue collection
they have this season
woohoo
a wristlet-purse-handphone bag
all in one
such practical piece
am neither a fan of Lee Hom
and obviously, nor one for Coach
yet this advert looks great
it feels like Asian faces finally get the recognition
hey, check out how many percent of
their sale is actually contributed by the
East Asian market especially mainland China
uniqlo X Peanuts
4th collaboration I think
I lost tracked
but still looking more awesome than ever
next stop was Kitschen
it was a zone of danger
(i) free gift which actually looks good
(ii) additional discount provided by my
always-considerate telco provider
(iii) so this is an extra privilege
why did I ever bump into this poster
when was the last time I posted
fitting-room-shot?
since last year?
I don’t want the whole world to
know I am working in that
all-black organization
so that’s how it is
I even gave up jotting down
what I wore everyday
yet I couldn’t help buying more black
because can you imagine
6.5 days out of 7 days a week
I need it for work
so the ratio should be like 13:1
for every 14 pieces of clothes I buy,
only 1 piece should be non-black
black peplum dress
black mullet dress
100% cotton
I couldn’t bear looking at myself
in non-cotton mullet such as satin / sheer
well.. my flappy arm is kinda
out of proportion,
I know right
okay probably this looks better
is that muscle?
this was grabbed out of emergency
since whatever piece I grabbed next
will qualify for a 50% off
under that Telco-promotion
yet another peplum
I thought I could never carry one
because it accentuates the shape
for the worse/best
so the fact is
when you are in a not-bad-shape
it’s can actually goes not too bad too
the tribal print body con skirt
not too bad right
and the New Look blouse is mine
so I already have the item which goes with it
so I texted my besties
across another country
looks like most of my besties are
telling her I am in a shopping dilemma now
and she sounded so encouraging
because she has actually owned the tote bag
and was asking if I can help her to
get one of the body con skirt too
I came out like
oh hell no
that’s how much I have actually spent
it’s alright
let’s head for dinner
my poor “brother”
he came to meet me up
to have dinner together
yet he waited long in Kitschen
took the Lunar New Year set
as recommended
thank goodness they didn’t try to sell us
Valentine’s Day set
that’s too wrong
and I told him
how he was turning me bad
because I am a social meat-eater
and in the afternoon we just had some
“smashed” chicken for lunch
bad.. this is just bad
grocery shopping
hypermarket has got everything
every nook and corner I could find
something to buy
so that was the loot thus far
that huge box is some instant coffee my dad consumes
when it came in gift-pack like that
there is usually some cute gift
and this time round being some
Lunar New Year Horse edition bowls
the spoons are for my mom
she has been looking for
such porcelain spoons
the plate looks good too ya
so are the rice bowl and mega big one
a complete set would look really great
but I think she would have killed me
so it’s alright
the Tigger was there because
he looked miserable being left in
the clearance corner
although his other friends were there
I felt I have the need to adopt him
so I text My Manager, who is
across the country too and
she was like
just grab it!!!
with the exclamation mark
goodness
then it was approaching 11
I was suddenly reminded that
my initial aim for the trip was to
do some grocery shopping and that’s all
what about these marketing surveys and
tiger adoption?
but tiger is on the verge of extinction, so..
anyway these are my new found favourite
dwarf Japanese cucumber which is
known as baby Kyuri.. aww
oh man
I think my “brother” kinda contributed to this
if he hasn’t driven here to dine with me
I couldn’t have bought so much
because I have to actually take a bus
goodnesses
Vans Sk8 Hi at 40% off
thank goodness operation hour was over
loots of the day
almost 3 a.m. in the morning ya
almost done almost done
for Jayden B
one romper and two sleeveless
nothing for Jazmine B
and she would probably get mad at me
the tribal print skirt
which made my “brother” was like:
hey you actually have a body shape?
and he was in disbelief that I wore S
excuse me… this is actually XS
so for the past N years
he thought he has been befriending a
large chunk of tree trunk
the mullet dress
I think these would look cute with
some fun sneakers which I have
this is yet another penetration
something too girlie
but since it’s all black
the pattern wasn’t really that discernible
still trying to defend my “guy-girl” title
of course!!
the telco-promo was actually
2nd item for 50% off
and I asked the sale person if
that means that 2nd item must be of
equal or lower price compared to the 1st
she said it doesn’t matter
but I actually found out
I bought this most-expensive item in the list
at the original price
haha.. doesn’t matter to her
because there’s this auto-sort-out function
items will be listed from the
highest to lowest price
and from there the 2nd item out of every pair
will be automatically identified
I shall call you MLBJ
my little black jacket
first ever peplum
by the way the scene looked nice in here
I am wearing this on top of some LBDes
so the sheerness will be fine
love the design really
although it’s a little exceeding
my budget for a tiny blouse like this
the helping-your-bestie-to-shop-via-whatsapp skirt
I thought of getting one for myself too
but in an environment where
everyone else was wearing sheer black
this suddenly stands out so so much
that happened to the servicing girl
from the design department
she was wearing this b&w stripe blouse and
all the time when I bumped into her
I had the spontaneous reaction of
why is her not wearing all-black to work?
the free gift
(i) a tote bag
actually for the total amount I bought
should be entitled to two bags
hey..
and the bill was so messed up
payment in two separate bills which
took me so long to comprehend
the life-time member card
with some fringe benefits to shop in the mall
so it’s now complete
I have a hypermarket member card also
another for the etc. shopping too
last but not least
please say thank you to my Manager
or else you will be stuck at the Clearance corner
and by this hour
they would have turned off the
air conditioner and light
sorry, Tigger
I never meant to give you a nightmare!
and I suddenly found a bag, printed
15th happy anniversary to Bershka
so it has been around for that long?
I actually bought two
one for my mom and
another one for…
not for myself, I swear
it’s a gift
good night world!!
I still have to go to work later
but come on it’s a Saturday
1/4 of my gross salary was gone
last night
arrgh..
it’s either I am earning too little or
I am spending too much
or fatally both
blame it on my Valentine
if he could have met me by now
we could have spent some time together
somewhere else
or I could have just made him
pay for everything of the day
no.. he would volunteer to do so
I don’t even have to make an effort
and I would repay him with
a pair of adidas Original Stan Smith
maybe two pairs
one for him and one for myself
and he would have told me
how glad he is to have met a girl
who wears LBD X Stan Smith
some LEGO watches too, perhaps?
but I am definitely not paying
I can’t afford, really
Kidult’s Logo X Brickish Macho: LEGO Watchos
Believe X In the Tennis Myth: Pair of Stan Smith?
money can’t buy love
but it buys me some lovely clothes which
make that guy falls for me
before he starts loving me
and it buys me
a night of sheer happiness which
I almost forgot I am supposed to feel emo
under the depravation of Valentine’s love
who ever still say money can’t buy love
please give up whatever you have to me
so that I can buy my boyfie that LEGO watch
it’s almost 4am right now
how on earth can I wake up by 6:30 later?
can I just pretend that
I have a hang over out of
depravation of love?
