I am getting "healthier" !

Went Haji Lane on Sunday. Sad that most of the shops were not open that day. But the ones that are opened are enough to keep us busy. If you are getting vintage or out of norm kind of deco, this is the place you should not be missing. Though most of the clothings were from Thai, or the other common countries like HK, Taiwan where most buyers will get their good from, but if you are able to search thru carefully and have little conversations with the owners or boutique assts, they will be able to recommend you some things which are not usually easily available on the shelves.

Many other unique stuff were actually tucked somewhere as the spaces in the boutiques were rather constraint and limited. And shoppers, preferably be slim, else you really have prob roaming ard the store with other shoppers on your left and right and tends to topple over the stands or displays lying ard everywhere.



Then there is this friendly boutique asst who was not only helping me to comment which tops I should get, she also shared with me one of the foldable brolly she find it rather adorable. I mean, how many of the sale assts out there will even chat with you? Most of the time they just give you the size you need, show you where is the fitting room and eventually helping you to hang back the clothings and move on to the next customer. But this one, was particularly attentive. I didn't realise she noticed the three tops I tried on, until when I came out from the fitting room and was sitting there waiting for Ginnise, when she initiated to give me her comments while multi tasking to get the sizes for the customers waiting below. This is what I call, customer service.






After a good round of patrol at Haji Lane, we continued shopping at Bugis Junction. Was suppose to source for a dress in A La Nuit for an up-coming wedding dinner but hell, I always landed up buying things that were not in my shopping list. That weave chiffon top fits nicely on me. Without some yoga background, you cant possibly yoga your way thru to get dressed in that top. Cos 1) its really light and 2) and there is no zipper though the back of the chiffon top is abit, really a little bit elastic gathers and 3) the material is not stretchable and since its a tube top, it has to grab and fits nicely ard the boobs else the whole top will slip once I exhale. And no way you can aggressively pull it over. You have to wriggle and yoga thru the whole process and one vicious tug is all it takes to rip thru that top!

And another top I got is a butterfly cape (which I think its just a cardigan), clean black with inner linen. The struggle in me was so strong when I was deciding which should I get when Ginnise highlighted that we can get 15% off with her card. Damn...I get so easily influenced and the next thing I knew was, having two hangers in my shopping bag. Clumsily carrying the Prada tote on my right shoulder, and two big flat shopping bags on my left shoulder. Can you imagine how ugly that is? Like a damn desperado who has not been shopping for ages (though, yes, I have not been really buying for ages and ages means like 1wk ago?).

And yes, according to what YC once told me, its not healthy for a girl not to do shopping. Ah.....I feel more and more healthier now.....perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

My shopping list:
1) One pink (or black) Ed Hardy Cap




Thats it.

yah, thats it dated as at end of this post...


And YC, forgot, dun you dare to find that/get that for me when you go Taiwan. Taiwan don't sell Ed Hardy, only Chicket Cutlets and Sausages. While I will be pestering Ginnise to bring me out, you just be back in one piece can already. K.

Enjoy your 8 days trip and well deserve break. You definitely needs that and get yourself fully recharge. Hopefully you recovers by then.

Counting down to my Ah Mei's concert and, having you to chauffeur me back home after that...it will be pretty hard to get cab at that time......thank you so so much for initiating that....very thoughtful...thank you.
