shop shop shop!

5 hours of shopping-crazy. From 11.30am to 4.30pm.

met ah yong at tampines to shop for his metrosexual, attention-seeking pink shirt so that he can fulfill the tall order of meeting the "Pink Theme" of a classmate's birthday party.

and me? without fail, the impulsive once-a-month shopaholic side of me surfaced to conquer TM & CS with much gusto and speed. It helped that everywhere's going at "20% OFF". i wonder whether GSS is really over or not.

Mondo
1 pair of black heels + 1 pair of biege-shimmering string heels ($19.90 for 1st pair, $10 for 2nd)
= $29.90

Pepper Plus
1 green lace-bubbly party top ($24) + 1 white crop pants ($30 @ 20% off)
= $48.00

G2000
2 long-sleeve collar shirts in purple & black strips + 1 beige bootcut pants ($23 each)
= $69.00

Surfer Paradise
1 grey surfer print top for ah-siang
= $19.00

Total damage = $165.90!!!!

Over-spent! :S

The only consolation is that i managed to buy many items (all sale pieces, mind u) compared to my inglorious past when i indulged in full-priced Zara or Mango, spending >$200 and ending up with that few pathetic pieces.

nonetheless, it was such an over-indulgence still. A sense of "bloatedness" overwhelmed me at the end of the entire trip, it felt like i bought more than i could stomach.

Sigh, starve me of my occasional shopping and this is what happens.

Anyway, ah yong bought a really nice shade of pink polo tee from Nautica, setting him back by $39. Given the crazy "Final Sale" at G2000, he also got himself a long-sleeve shirt plus a nice strippy black pants @ $48 in total. A guy's long-sleeve shirt cost only $19! Can u imagine that? And women's long-sleeve shirt/pants/crop pants only cost $23 each! i think it's definitely a bargain! I didn't set out to shop at G2000 (or rather, i never planned to shop today at all) but the sale was just too irresistable!! Please, go and stock up on ur office wear today, it's worth it.

Now, it's time for me to sit back, relax and devour all these goodies bought during the shopaholic-famished day.
