Verge of bankruptcy

November 23rd, 2009 by admin

The blogshop purchases didn’t see much of a happy ending after I wrote in to request for help, which equates to nothing, and I am not sure if I am the only one who has the sizing inconsistency from said blogshop, but I ended up putting 2 items I bought on sale, because I don’t think I can nor will wear them.

So much hassles. Bah. Heh.

On a sidenote, I tracked my spending this month and I almost killed myself from holding my breath.

Basically I am not looking forward to December, except for my paycheck. And of course, the birthday thingy I am not sure if I should do for Minibean, and then besides Minibean, maybe there isn’t any spare moolah to buy anything else for, for Christmas.

My colleague just asked me to head to Sipadan over Christmas, and I seriously doubt I have any spare for the coming month.

BOOHOOHOO.

I can’t wait to get away for Christmas.

It was Friday, and cabless because the road was closed for some CBD run.

I decided to walk all the way to Suntec, where the Sephora bazaar was held.

First, Winnie was the one who sent me an invite, and then Dawn messaged me to let me know of the loots she had lugged home.

So, I was there, and I gamely pulled Evelyn with me into the conference room where the sale was held.

I tell you! If you wanna conquer a sale, do it ALONE!

Because… when we headed in….

…. Bare Escentuals counter.

Just so happened that on Tuesday, Siren recommended me this foundation set though it is pretty pricey but how it is good for the skin blarblarblar.

She also showed me this bottle of face mask she bought the very day we met up.

Then.

I saw the kit she brought up, AND the bottle of facemask.

Both at 50% of retail price.

So I quickly messaged her and she said it was a steal and asked me to grab for her. And when I hesitated to get one for myself, she said, “It is very good deal, should buy!”

And then. Bought.

I even bought 2 milk bath packs for Minibean, so she could enjoy her Jacuzzi the next time round with the special treat.

Then, just when I thought I was all done, I saw Evelyn already had a few items in her hands, I thought she would just browse since it was very last minute when I pulled her in, but she had bumped into her colleagues who introduced her this wrinkles filler which works wonders!

Then we both tried the products, and then I don’t know what was said, and then I got interested in the serum, and then I was just thinking of the serum, and then I was told must put moisturiser after serum, and then I said what if I don’t have moisturiser, and then Evelyn stared at me with widen-eyes as if I had said something blasphemous, and then the sales assistant gave me the same incredulous look of not using a moisturiser, and then I got scared, and then I added a bottle of moisturiser to the purchase. Okay lah, 70% off retail price and it did work quite well, quite smooth after that, and then….

… that’s how I succumb to peer pressure! Wahahaha.

Happily lugged our purchases out, and I attributed the “credit” of my spending to her, and she said with conviction “you know she doesn’t use moisturiser?! How can?!“, and she was so adorable when she said that with the look of horror on her face.

I last saw this reaction when I went diving and this male doctor almost screamed in horror when he realised I do not use sunblock at all.

Anyway.

I said I would influence her to buy bags. Then her boyfriend asked me to go see www.silversea.com.sg

Got friends like that, who needs recession?!

But she is superbly sweet and told me she will check on me at the end of the month to see if I stick to my chemical routine, and I am kinda hopeful that I might finally finish one bottle of moisturiser without waiting for it to dry itself up.

That night 6 of us went to watch 2012.

Very hungry very hungry very hungry. Stuffed down hotdogs and nachos and popcorns still hungry.

OH. MY. HOLYMAMA. MOOOMOOOOOOOO COW!

John Cusack.

It is no secret how much I am a fan of his since years ago I put him on my ultimate shag list.

He is so hot can?

Watched 2012 and however cliche it was, I did thoroughly enjoy the movie, though it was impossibly depressing.

Especially the part the father didn’t manage to say goodbye and it was too late.

And of course, Adam Lambert’s new song was a draw for me too!

Now, bring New Moon on already!

Weekend was pretty alright.

Watched many many many CSIs.

Never spend money.

Such a good girl.

Oh, Friday is a holiday?

Awesome.

Want to buy

November 23rd, 2009 by admin

It is the end of the year when I have to review the things I need to get, and possibly start the new year with things in place.

Top of the list should be either a locked drawer, or a safe.

The decision came after over the weekend, Minibean managed to ransack my drawers and found things that would make you and I blush.

She opened up a box and brought to me…

… “Mummy, what is that? What’s that!”

Uh, darling, that’s a massager. Uhm, yeap, a massager that goes brr brr… Sort of.

Which reminded me of a distant memory of me finding a palm-long white, innocent looking gadget in my mum’s drawer decades ago.

I remember it was in one of those clear plastic bag (you know, those when you buy curry puffs?), and I whipped it out and was utterly amused when it buzzed to life when I switched it on.

I now understand my mum’s harsh tone of “not playing with her massager” and then went on to place it behind my back, just behind my shoulder blade just to test it.

After being caught playing with it for a couple of times to massage my back, I could no longer find it in that same drawer.

It was only in recent years I piece one and one together and realised what it was.

Eeks.

But I realise that with its innocent colour and all, it did indeed look less suspicious than those they have these days, and probably more suited for a parent. Ahem.

And, being a real curious kid who knows how to find keys to drawers and all, the more you lock a drawer, the more it will pique their interests to find out what are the things you have gotta hide.

Maybe I do need a safe after all, so that all the kinky things can find a place, away from Minibean, and a mum who loves to pry.
