Shop till I drop!! (Literally…)
Hmm… Yesterday (Monday, July 2nd 2007) I went shopping with my friend in Sg.Wang & Times Square (my fave shopping spots)… I needed a retail therapy since I couldn’t buy anything in Mid Valley last week although I went there twice.. Plus, I was completely stressed & what’s a better cure for a girl other than shopping?? I was quite happy with the outcome, except that I bought an off-shoulder top that was too big for me!! It was the 1st time that I bought a free-size top that I couldn’t fit in!! (Lesson no.1: No more buying free-size tops that look rather big if there’s no trying!!) How was I supposed to know it would be THAT big..?? *Sobs* Other than that, I bought a black T-back top, another off-shoulder top in purple, a really low-cut top in brown (I think dad would kill me if I wear it without a tube), 2 normal t-shirts (orangy red & sky blue), my favourite of all- a nice black halter-neck dress (which cost only RM19.90- my lucky day or what??) and (oh, crap!) a pair of cute brownish-beige pump wedges that’s so uncomfy (I wore them after buying & they almost killed my feet!! Pity my little toes.. So not wearing them to go jalan-jalan!!), so I changed back into the shoes I had on before that (Lesson no.2: No more buying pumps!! I wanted peep-toes but couldn’t find nice one!).. Oh, so those were the two things that really frustrated me.. I was also quite disappointed ’cause I couldn’t find a nice affordable cardigan & Charmed DVD sets anywhere (only saw Grey’s Anatomy, Ghost Whisperer, Lost, Desperate Housewives sets).. (Maybe another round of shopping very soon!) Actually, I’m really stressed about continuing my studies or just start working & then study in Open University (for working ppl) later.. So, I thought, whatever my decision is, I still need a new wardrobe.. I could use some new clothes for college (if that’s my final decision) in August.. Barely a month away now~~
Anyway, we ate in Food & Tea Hong Kong.. I had Stir-fried Udon Noodle with Diced Chicken and Sea Coconut with Longan.. The udon noodle was super-delicious!! But a lot of MSG I think.. ‘Cause I got so thirsty after eating it.. Before we called it quits (our shopping journey), my friend wanted to have a cup of Hot Chocolate in Food & Tea HK.. So, I just went along and it turned out that there was no Hot Chocolate on the menu.. She mistaken the Black Beauty (Chocolate) drink for Hot Chocolate.. *LOL* Ended up both of us had Double Happiness (Not bad la, fruit punch + milk).. It tasted like a tropical flavoured yoghurt drink.. =) Here’s the highlight of the day: On our way to the Hang Tuah LRT station, my friend was detained by 3 officers (2 females, 1 in police uniform & one male)… They asked for her I/C, saying she was needed to assist in a rape case investigation.. There were a group of Malay & Indian girls waiting at the side.. I wasn’t detained ’cause I was Chinese (They only wanted Malay & Indian girls).. The funny thing was, my friend looked neither like Malay nor Indian.. She’s of mixed parentage (but she didn’t let me reveal stuff about her on my blog) but seriously she didn’t look like Chinese either.. It was weird that the cops detained her & they were so rude, especially the male.. Kept shouting there when my friend hesitated to hand them her I/C.. Hello, they needed her help right?? Shouldn’t they be a little more polite?? I waited for half an hour at the lrt station after they left with the officers.. I was freaking worried ’cause the cops said it would only take around 15minutes to help them.. However, after 31-long-minutes, my friend & other girls returned from the nearby Pudu jail complex.. My friend filled me in on what happened..
The girls had to act as suspects for an identifying parade.. A rape victim was to identify a girl who helped her (the suspect’s) brother rape the victim.. Well, definitely one experience my friend wouldn’t forget.. If she weren’t detained, I would have reached home earlier, not 10minutes after CSI:NY started airing on NTV7.. And we wouldn’t have to be "sardine" in d commuter.. So packed!! Anyhow, my friend was the one complaining.. She said, if she weren’t the one who wanted to have the hot chocolate which turned out to be something else in the 1st place, she wouldn’t be held by the cops.. (Lesson no.3: Just skip whatever desire for a drink & head home straight away!! +_+) But frankly, I felt bad ’cause I was the one who planned the outing, I was the one who changed the outing to Monday from Tuesday.. *LOL* Whatever it was, it happened.. A brand new experience somehow.. And I didn’t have insomnia last night.. Went to bed right after CSI:Las Vegas ended.. Good for me.. I was so freaking exhausted till I dozed off during some scenes in CSI:Miami.. So much for my Mayhem Monday!! What a day… for a shopaholic!!
P/S: Last Monday, Grace showed me the wedding pictures of one of our workmates, Jenny.. Oh gosh, Jenny looked soooooo different with full make-up & dressed in the wedding gowns!! Hmm, seriously, there’s so much that full make-up can do to change a girl’s looks.. Wonder how I’d look then in my wedding photos.. *Rolling my eyes* If I’d ever get married~~~
By the way, I had been thinking of getting a haircut or not.. But then, lately, some people had been telling me that I look naturally nice with my hair now.. And seriously, to me my hair’s messy & long!! Hmm, so messy is nice huh?? Go figure~~ Well, they have helped me make a decision, and I plan to keep my hair the way it is.. (Maybe just trim an inch off soon!) Perhaps when I’m totally down one day, I might just chop my hair off- get a new style! *LOL*
