Cosumerism & Wallet
X'mas Candy Cane for You!22.12.07 Saturday... Aftermath of a Bad Fall
Yesterday BB and I took leave from work to enjoy this long weekend and we decided to pop down to Orchard for some gifts.
There was mad consumerism virtually everywhere and we were part of the herd rushing to do some last minute Christmas Shopping over the weekend before X'mas day :)
For many instances, we were lost for what to buy then suddenly I remember my dear friend told me about getting a wallet for his boyfriend this festive season. Before she left for KL on Wednesday night, she msn me and consulted about wallets & coin purse.
Little did I know, the conversation turn out to be quite an interesting one... The main motivating factor in getting a wallet for her current boyfriend is to get rid of his old wallet which was a present from his ex. How smart! hah.
So in the mist of figuring what gifts we should be getting, I brought up this conversation with BB and told him about what my dear friend has told me. To my utmost surprise, only after a good 3 years that he reveals that his old wallet (before I replaced it with the one I bought) was from his ex as well *faint*
Nvm that I knew it later, it was changed anyway *wink*;D
So girls, get a wallet for your bf this Xmas! haha.
Anyway anyhow, talking about wallet... I seriously need to get a new one. We were searching for one at Takashimaya but there was none which caught my eyes.
The only one which caught my eye is from Agnes B concept shop in Raffles City and it cost a whopping $425!!!
Then we went to Gucci to find dear Linnet and I tell you, it's a madhouse in there. Actually, there was nothing much to fancy (personally, I dislike Monograms) but people were there to snap up many of those boring designers bags. She was so busy that we decided to just leave the shop as it was really crowded too.
Prada was right next to it... and guess what I saw? A really really pretty Hot Pink Satin Clutch! I was mesmerized!
If I'm super rich, the brands I'm would indulge in are Prada & Hermes :P *dreaming in lala-land* My rational? The bags from these two brands are more atas looking and for Hermes , it has really good quality leather which can even be hand down from mum to daughters!
So much of branded... tell me when I earn 5K a month and have no where to spend! haha.
Initially we also wanted to try out a pastry chef's restaurant in Paragon, unfortunately it was a full house so we decided to visit it during our week's long vacation in Jan:) FYI, the little cafe is call
Canele which has been frequently feature by media. Apparently, their Macaron is one of the must-try.
In the evening, we managed to buy 2 tickets to watch National Treasures -the Secret Book and it was a great 2hrs show except that it is too much alike Jackie Chan's movie - The Myth
aka 神話. It was quite a predictable ending but we do enjoy the show.
Had a bad fall in BB's house toilet after the show and guess I injuried the tail bone. It was so slippery in there and it was so painful that I nearly can't stand from the fall. Took me a great 5-10mins to get composed before limping out.
Now it got so bad that I can't bent down:( According to mum, it is badly bruised at the site *ouch! pain!* Did some research online and seems like there's no cure except to let it heal by its own and would take around 6-8weeks.
Guess my mobility speed around the clinic during work has to be reduced significantly else it could get worsen off. And think of that, I will be alone for 8days when my dear assistant goes on a trip to Korea (bring me there!!!). SOS.
The aftermath was a good 10hrs undisturbed sleep at home and waking up at 12pm for Brunch which turned out to be was a feast of vegetarian dished mum cooked in celebration of Winter Solstice on the Lunar Chinese Calender :)
Also I get to catch up on Witch Joo Hee (highly recommended by a teacher friend) and now I'm at episode 11! The next K-drama which I looking forward to is 1st Shop of Coffee Boy!
And guess what... I haven't even got started on the projects! At least I got the pictures printed! :P
Won't be updating that soon.. So a Merry Christmas to You in advanced!
喜 Muditā adds colours to your life!
