Shopping is addictive.

You walk into a shop with the intention of buying only one item which you need but end up buying other unnecessary items instead of the one you set out to buy initially.

Does the above sound familiar to you? Well, it happens to me ALL THE TIME. All the more is the case recently.

Bought a lot of accessories these few days. Got a new belt at Bugis Street, a retro headband from Chameleon, a necklace and several earrings from SK Jewellery and TAKA Jewellery. Cannot remember what else I got. Too many. =/

Spent so much at SK and TAKA that I qualified for membership (SK Jewel Card and TAKA Privilege Card). Now I have two more cards in my wallet. It is bursting with cards (not money). My poor (both physically and financially) wallet. =(

Bought a lot of clothes too. Fortunately, I don't shop at high-end boutiques. Bought most of my clothes at Giordano, Hang Ten, Samuel & Kevin, Metro and OG while they were having sales. I am quite a bargain hunter. Am always looking out for sales and offer items. When one is poor, she will try to make do with whatever is available to her. I may need retail therapy very often, but I shop within limits. =P

The tulip minis I ordered from Old Navy is finally coming to Singapore. Hopefully can see it next week. One more piece to mix and match with. Think I am more or less ready for school. HeE~!

Saw George Tay and Vanessa Teo at Causeway Point today. They were paying for their purchases at The Face Shop. Didn't go up and say hi to them though. Checked out Vanessa's blog when I got back home just now. It was only then that I realised that the two of them are an item. Was still wondering why the others in the group weren't with them. Now I know why. HeE~!

Think I should start reading a bit of Corporate Finance before school reopens since I have the textbook. Probably start reading during the kids' one week break so that I don't forget what I have read. My memory is getting from bad to worse. Time to invest in memory boosters again.

What is the difference between NUS and SIM?

Went to SSDC to book my final theory test date today. Fortunately, there was no queue at SSDC. Still remember the last time I went there with JiaRui and we had to wait for a very long time before it was our turn.

Asked HuiJun to go with me and in return, I had to go to school with her. So, we went to NUS after I have booked the test date. Since I was already there, I decided to crash her history lecture. Saw EeHui's ex-boyfriend, Colin in the lecture. He was sitting right in front of me! Found him to be a weird guy after what EeHui told us about him. Was observing him throughout the whole lecture to see if he does any weird acts. Quite disappointed when he didn't. Evil me. HaHa~! Anyway, the lecture was quite interesting, especially the part on Indian civilisation. Surprisingly, I could understand the lecture very well. However, think I will be bored if I had to attend history lectures every week. Not so much an arts person. We went to the central library to print her notes after the lecture. Waited for more than an hour before she got all her notes printed. As a result, I was late for tuition. Mdm Yap was not very happy with me. =/

Daddy and mommy are going to Taiwan this October and they are not bringing me. SoBz~! Been watching Wo De Mei Ren Ji and Mei Li Yi Neng Jie on CTITV and the products they recommended are so wonderful! BUT, many of these products are only available in Taiwan. SiGh~! I wanna go to Taiwan! Anyone wanna sponsor? =P

Getting in the mood.

Went shopping with mommy at Lot 1's Seiyu today. Was only there for one hour 'coz I had to go for tuition with ShiYing after that. Didn't wanna go but mommy insisted that I go with her. Sick of her nagging, I relented. Only bought lingerie. $100 worth of lingerie. I am not kidding. I really did spend that much on lingerie ONLY.

Things haven't been going right for me today.

First, I got the wrong cup size for one of the brassieres I bought. Mommy refused to help me do the exchange though she was free, so I had to go all the way to Choa Chu Kang again for 10 minutes. Couldn't stay on for more shopping as I had to go to Yishun for tuition with Goutham.

Then, I was approached by an elderly Malay lady who could only speak Malay. She came to ask me something. I do not know what she was trying to ask me as I do not understand Malay. She gave me a dirty look before she left me alone.

When I got to Goutham's place, his mom told me that Goutham was still not back from school and she couldn't contact him 'coz he had switched off his mobile phone. Since I was already there, I decided to wait for him. Fortunately, he did not keep me waiting for too long.

NTU has reopened on 7 August and NUS will reopen on 14 August. UOL will only reopen on 11 September. Exactly one month after NUS reopen. Seeing EngChok and HuiJun going back to school makes me miss going to school. Kinda excited about going back to school again. Been idling for too long. It is time to start cracking again.

Lizard WAR

Went to Suntec City with Daphne last Friday. Bought a new pair of Neckermann sandals. The third pair in one month. Love them! HeE~!

Spent the whole of Saturday giving tuition. It was a wonderful day, until I met a boy and an uncle...

Boy
Shared the lift with a boy who was only slightly taller than his bicycle. Held the lift door for him 'coz he seemed to be struggling with his bicycle. When he reached his floor, he said thank you, but added 'AUNTIE' behind. =/

Uncle
Took a bus to Jaslyn's place. I occupied a seat that is away from the window. An elderly uncle boarded the bus at the next bus stop and came to where I was seated. He stood near me and kept leaning on me until I gave up and moved to the seat near the window. There were lots of other seats which were unoccupied on the bus but he just had to sit next to me. Irritating.

Saw a lizard stuck in the gap between the panes of the shower screen while I was taking a shower just now. My first reaction was of course, SCREAM! As I was screaming for mommy to come and save me, I was also wrapping my towel around my foam-covered body. All ready to RUN! As soon as I opened the door for mommy to come in and take care of that lizard, I ran straight into the bathroom in the master bedroom. After making sure that there was no lizard or other yucky pests in there, I continued with my shower, but was constantly looking out for potential threats. SiGh~! That lizard sure scared the wits outta me.

Going to JB with HuiJun tomorrow to get some stationeries from Popular. The Popular there sells very cute and pretty stationeries, not like those we have in Singapore branches which are very standard and not creative at all. We shall be visiting Summit too. The Summit there carries the same models as what we have here in the Singapore Summit outlets but since Malaysia is having Mega Sale, I think it will save us a bit of money if we buy our shoes from there. HeE~!

Just the thought of shopping again makes me feel charged and ready to go. I am a hopeless shopaholic! HaHa~!

New academic year starts on 11 September.

School will reopen on 11 September. Another month for me to enjoy myself before I start with my hectic routine again.

Signed up for yoga lessons at Fuchun CC. Paid $44 for 12 lessons. Shall be going to Suntec City with Daphne on Friday to shop for a yoga mat. =)

Shall be going to town next Tuesday to do some shopping. I need more clothes and accessories for school.

It is National Day next Wednesday. Trying to make myself free on that day so that I have time for more shopping. =P Maybe able to meet up with XiangHong and Pauline too. HeE~! Haven't seen them for a very very long time. =)

Gotta find time to clean up my room one of these days. It is in a total mess now. Can't possibly study in this mess when school reopens. =P

Am attempting to perform a major 'operation' on my schedule now. If unsuccessful, I may have to give up some of my students. SiGh~! Please wish me luck.
