Simply mundane

It's so difficult for me to write an entry without pictures but it becomes too wordy for a fashion/lifestyle blog. Please bear with me for this period of time and this is also a test for me trying to write a series of descriptive entries.

There are a number of things that I've bought during this period of time (though I'm down and out, my shopping devil in me is very much active). But I'm still using my dad's laptop and being an IT-idiot, I dont know how to unlock the bluetooth function of his laptop. Totally hate it and looking to find a netbook (maybe) or laptop. Wishing Comex could come a little quicker for check out for a cheaper deal.

Frankly, I'm so accustomed to use the pad that I feel uncomfortable to use an optical. Well, SL bought me a Targus mouse on the pretext that it was for me but his was going crazy and he really needed one. It was bought when he was going for his reservist and I really liked it coz it's ultra-mini. Anyway, I've decided to purchase 1 for myself from an unfamiliar brand called ATake while late night shopping in a 24-hr supermarket. Tempted to buy a reasonable price earphones coz my apple ones are losing their rubber grips.

Went to Tampines to meet SL today to pass the mooncakes that my mum makes. Yes, it's being a yearly affair that my mum makes for relatives and loved ones. BTW, hers is not the baked ones but the snow-skinned type. Believe me, you dont wanna eat after seeing the enormous amount of fats and sugars put into making the mooncakes.

Went to one of the shops and it stated 1 pair for SGD 2 and 3 pairs of earrings for SGD 5. I ended up with 3 pairs (a pair of golden ribbons, Eiffel Tower and Vivienne Westwood inspired ~ loved them)and was tempted to buy a hairband with feathers as well. But was stopped by SL and he reminded me about costly purchase of SGD 90 plus hair accessory that didnt see the sunlight.

There is an accessories shop in Orchard Cineleisure that I like to patronise whenever I'm there to catch a movie but Sherman hates it because he's sensitive to the scent from the shop. Sigh! They do have a good variety to choose but cant say much about quality. Well, there is a Chinese saying 'you pay what you get' and this sentence does hold true in some cases.

I'm on a constant outlook for those cheap watches that cost SGD 2.60 - SGD 2.80 that was manned by Chinese workers. Found one recently in Simei as I was waiting for SL to be ready. Overheard one of them gossipping about a customer who was standing there for a very long time and didnt buy. She was busy making comments while attending to me. Thought was rather inappropriate. Bought 1 not because I was complied to buy it but thought it looked nice.

After meeting SL in Simei, we proceed to go to Changi Airport's MacDonald's to get my long overdue Hello Kitty figurines and ring that reserved for me by the lovely staff over there. Later, I realised that I've a similar figurine for a certain year. Yup, SL thought it was a waste of money.

So much about being descriptive and hope you guys have enjoyed your weekend!

A hint of Chinese

My least worn accessories are my necklaces. Interestingly, most of my necklaces are infused with Chinese elements such as shou (longevity), dragon and phoenix. These were bought awhile ago from this shop located at Shaw Tower while I was on shopping therapy. My ex-office was located at Shaw Tower and this tiny shop was actually my therapy centre. Had thoroughly enjoyed my short conversations with the owner. Well, things have changed coz she had gone famous after media publicity.

(Side-track : I was served by her manager the last time I went there and the experience was rather unpleasant. Her manager claimed that she was on an overseas trip after a long conversation (on the phone standing outside the shop) when I had asked for a discount for a ridiculous priced jacket. She tried to test my knowledge of the opening of the shop. I was rather unhappy already coz she was not even there when the shop had opened. Besides, it was the owner that was manning the shop last 3 days. Coz it was during that period that I had left my ex work place. Anyway, left the shop feeling relieved coz I didnt succumb to temptation to buy that jacket.)

As for the necklaces, I like to pair them with a black top coz the color will pop the outfit. For me, my mantra is less is more. Hence, I dont wear earrings if I'm wearing my necklaces and vice versa.

Hope that you can find some conversational pieces that you love!
