Shop till i dropped....broke.

I skipped LSC and MMR lecture yesterday and met up with cheryl and huimin instead. Since huimin would only be off at 4pm, cheryl and i waited at the cafe in SP and had some food and drinks. I ordered the Chicken shreds and potato sandwich set, which comes with a lemon tea. The sandwich was not bad, it's serving is really huge and i felt bloated after i finished the sandwich. Again, another couple acted intimately in front of us in the cafe. Fortunately they were just hugging around and didn't make any smooching noises or actions or i would go crazy, so it was still acceptable.

Cheryl and I talked about the couple, as we walked out of the cafe when huimin finally reached Dover. The girl was from Catholic JC i think. We were saying they were acting so "Mashimaro"- a term by V4 meaning "mushy". Haha...

As usual, we went to Orchard for our shopping.

First stop, Far East Plaza(door closing..toot..toot..toot..tsk...)
The "He & She" accessories shop was the first stop i started buying things. This shop sells most of their things at 3 for $10, and most of their things are pretty nice. Each of us bought 2 items which were part of the 3 for $10 stuff. I bought this heart-shaped bracelet which resembles some Tiffany & Co ten-rows chained heart bracelet.

Then i saw this rather nice pendant, and since my previous pendant had it's diamonds all dropping off, i decided to get it.

*The $3.50 necklace...*

Also got this City Girl nail polish remover at $1.50 from the same shop. It's recommended as it doesn't have the pungent smell most normal removers have and it cleans off the polish rather fast.

After some shopping here and there at Far East Plaza, our stomachs started growling. Thus, we had our dinner at level 5. We decided on this chinese fare stall somewhere near the lift. There's this friendly uncle who would sit down on the next table and take your orders. Geez...I had Yang Chou Fried Rice, Cher had Fish soup beehoon and Min had her claypot rice which i think she's still craving for..haha..

After walking around almost the whole of Far East Plaza and everyone having bought something, we went on to Wisma Atria and Takashimaya.

On the way, The Body Shop at Scotts was packed with people, so we went in to check for any thing we wanted that was on offer being typical Singaporean... This lip-gloss was only at $5.97 when it's original price was at $19.90, but i didnt buy as i still had some lip-gloss at home. Then, Huimin came along with her strawberry lip balm, it smells so fruity you just feel like eatting it up. We walked out of the shop, but still looking at the things in the shop, rather unconvinced there was nothing for us to buy from such an offer. Suddenly, I spotted the Strawberry lip balm Min had showed us just a moment ago at the discount corner. We went in again and foudn that it was a "buy one get one free" offer for it. Since one was $8.90, 2 meant $4.45, so she happily bought her Strawberry flavoured one and I bought a Mandarin Orange smelling glittery lip balm. It smells heavenly, whenever i put it on, I feel like eating the balm up cuz it smells so sweet. By the way, i tried some and it was a little sweet...my god..hope i wont eat it up..haha..

It then came to my mind that i still had Winz's Perlini discount coupon with me, so i decided to check out Perlini's at Taka. Once i reached the shop, the scene sort of made me go "Woah!". It was really crowded, people were crammed all over the tiny shop. The shop assistants were busily running here and there taking care of this and that customer.
This heart-shaped ring caught my attention and i asked for some help after some struggling. Sadly, the ring only had size 10 which was way too small for me.
So, i looked around the shop again, and i saw this pendant which i had always liked. The original price was $38, and with Winz's 40% off, it would only be $22.80! That's quite a lot. After some struggling, Cher showed her motherly instincts and managed to get the salesperson to get a new piece for me. Unfortunately or fortunately, it was the last piece. Unfortunately means I would have to take this necklace which many others have previously tried on.Fortunately because at least i managed to 'snatch' the last piece. I took it anyway. Thankz mum n ah ma for your efforts. And Thankz Winz for your coupon!!!;)

*My precious bear with perlini necklace..*

In the end, I became broke after a whole day(and night) of shopping. But, shopping with purchases simply feels great, especially when you lay everything out when you get home. My mother was grumbling that i bought so many things, but i continued showing her what i bought anyway. Geez...I shall try to earn some money.

Til Then....
