All I Want is X Some Grocery: V’s Day Shopping

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 empty on a Friday, where has everyone gone to

 

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

Bershka baby blue blouseBershka baby blue jacketBershka baby blue blouse x pullover sweater

 

a wristlet-purse-handphone bag

all in one

such practical piece

Bershka purse

 

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 

COACH X Lee Hom

 

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

blue-white stripe tote bag

 

(ii) additional discount provided by my

always-considerate telco provider

telco exclusive deal

 

(iii) so this is an extra privilege

why did I ever bump into this poster

Fashion VIP member

 

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

varsity jacket x LBD

 

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..and black..and more black

 

black peplum dress

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 

black mullet dress

 

okay probably this looks better

is that muscle?

black mullet dress

 

this was grabbed out of emergency

since whatever piece I grabbed next

will qualify for a 50% off

under that Telco-promotion

peplum top

 

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

tribal print skirt

 

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

black & white stripes skirt

 

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

seafood platter MFM

 

grocery shopping

hypermarket has got everything

every nook and corner I could find

something to buy

sky blue romper

 

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

that's before the actual grocery shopping

 

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

poor Tigger

 

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

my recent fav, baby kyuri

 

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

that's all mine

 

goodnesses 

Vans Sk8 Hi at 40% off

thank goodness operation hour was over

sneaker window display

 

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

for Big Brother Jay

 

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

tribal print bodycon skirt

 

the mullet dress

I think these would look cute with

some fun sneakers which I have

black mullet dress

 

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!!

black lacey skirt

 

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

tribal little black jacket

 

I shall call you MLBJ

my little black jacket

tribal little black jacket

 

first ever peplum

by the way the scene looked nice in here

LBPD Little Black Peplum Dress

 

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

little black peplum top

 

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?

black & white stripe bodycon skirt

 

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

blue & white stripes tote bag

 

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

yet another membership

 

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!

Tigger becoming happier

 

and I suddenly found a bag, printed

15th happy anniversary to Bershka

so it has been around for that long?

Bershka clutch

 

I actually bought two

one for my mom and

another one for…

not for myself, I swear

it’s a gift

P1260833

 

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?
