Blisters on my feet, but I am Smiling

Hey u,

Wat a DAY it was!

I was out by 11am....geared up in this

Zara cap sleeve bling bling top

with Zara's blue sripped blazer, a pair of dark blue jeans

and the wrong pair of shoes. With the good intention of visiting the museums before shopping, I felt good knowing that I have a whole day, as Fridays shops close only at 9pm. I know, it should have been open till 9pm everyday, but, well, I think it's for the good, keeps my bank account rather healthy.


I reached town at 11.40am and walked straight towards the museum.....
I got so close,

I was just a few meters from the entrance


and

I walked on...


and the next thing I know, I was opposite the road, the museum seemed so far suddenly.

Somehow, traffic was heavy, getting back to the other side was impossible. Funny how there is usually not much traffic on a normal day. Perhaps, it just wasnt fated for me to be at the museum.

I just looked from the opposite side of the road, and wondered what was in that museum.

Well,

So the first shop I was in,
I had been passing the shop everyday in the bus and told myself I have to get to that shop.

I was finally in it....and the kind of shirts for me, the white shirts in all kinds of style, I was counting the number of shirt I will buy. And then came a lady...

"We are not a retail shop, so we do not have price tags displayed....You can have a look at the catalogue and order what you want.'

What was that about!? Anyway, I walked out of the shop, knowing that they have just lost a potential customer. Too bad for them.

I checked my mobile, coz I was supposed to meet up with a friend.

Well, no time to waste so I decided to shop for my kids, at least I won't feel bad if I ended up with lots of stuff for me today.

I got them these....

A very charming Fedora for my Prince. I bet he will look so cool!

I got the same denim top for both my princesses. And I got a similar denim top too!

 Paired it with floral leggings for this one.

Paired this with stripped red legging and scarf. They will look spiffy!

Well, I got 2 sundresses for my baby too. I am just one happy mama!

Now, alls settled for the kids, time for the mama....

My friend finally ringed me, she just woke up, coz she just had been working on her assignment thru the night. Well, look at me, I finished mine early and I could dedicate 2 days to resting. yay.
So she will meet me later....'take your time' was want I wanted to tell her, coz really I'd prefer to shop on my own.

So I walked everywhere in search for the beige blazer which I wanted to get. No blazer but lots and lots of bright orange shirts everywhere, perhaps thats the 'in' colour of spring here.

I was trying lots, and nearly bought too many white shirts, they all looked different really. But I resisted.
I went to Sportsgirl again to check out the clogs with red leather....still there waiting for me, still no sale, sigh.

Should I get it?

After walking past over 40 shops, I ended up with these:

Got my red, blue,white combi....the Parisian colours. The blue white jersey dress was from Miss Shop, it is sooo comfy. I wanted a red cardi, but couldnt fine a nice one.

Or I could wear the red top also from Miss Shop on the outside with a belt perhaps. Ooo the clogs with red leather would look perfect with this.

I was proud that I did not buy any jewellery but I got 2 headbands instead. As much as I think there too much 'bling bling', my friends (yup they finally met me 2hrs later) said they looked nice (coz I think my hair overwhelmed the bling)

Yup never intended a gold one, but again I think it looked nice on my head (according to my friends the shape of my head fit hairbands, wat?...) and whats more it was at 20% discount.

So I was happy...got something for my body, my head, but not very happy coz my feet didn't get anything. ;(

My feet was aching, but I was happy, that's most important.

After which I did my friends a favour by giving them important fashion advice while they shopped for dresses. I was happy to be of help, and they were happy with their haul too.

We had iced mocha while we rested our feet 5 hours later. Perhaps we were feeling guilty, coz somehow we were talking about our next assignment.
Next Wednesday seemed so far away, I was thinking that this would be my last Friday here.
Hmmm....I really want to go home, but I have really enjoyed myself surprisingly in this really quiet state with pretty much just one HUGE shopping centre.
And I survived! With just ONE shopping centre....I am so proud of myself.

Well I will dedicate a blog to this place soon...

We walked back to their hostel. I had to follow coz I had to get this:

Yup a 20kg box to fill some of things to send back. Truthfully, I think I need another 2 of such boxes....with all those haul. Well an least now I know I can get an extra 10kg on flight. Means I may get more things since I am going to DFO tom. I was supposed to get my assignment done, but I also have to meet up with these 2 nice people who insist to treat me lunch since I am going home.

At 8pm, I walked back to the bus stop, box, and shopping bags in tow, tired but happy.
I met a Prof. on the bus and we were talking about dense stuff, Climate change, Savings orang utans in Sumatra and all that good things about Science.

But most important of all,

he told me, I looked 10yr younger than my actual age. How's that for a GREAT day!

See u soon.
