Hahaha I finished my week in peace and happiness

Oh yeah I managed to finish my week in peace!!! No urgent cases for yesterday and today ;-) But there was a case which we had to expedite and my part was completed this morning. Finished all my work with an hour to spare before knocking off so went to check if my colleague need help on her paperwork stuff. Left at 5.15pm to meet with nana at Raffles area for dinner before heading to Orchard for some shopping.

Thought that it might not be raining for the day but the El Nino did not disappoint us with more rain. It was a drizzle as compared to the endless and heavy rain for the past few days. But it did not spoil our mood for some shopping;-) The stress build-up from the urgent cases needed to be released and what is better than shopping therapy!

While walking through the cosmetics department at Tangs, the thought of buying some face powder came across my mind. We walked to Clinique and a guy attended to us. I told him what I was looking for and he seemed at a lost to what I want or how to explain to me about their products. So I just let him make the decisions on what range of powder to try on me and he sure is heavy-handed. He used a cotton ball to apply the powder and my face turned red after he swipe twice on my right side of my face. Than upon my request about anti-acne range, he helped me to try it on my left. Well, the colour was not right but he didn't wipe it off for me. And when I explain to him about some problems I faced using powder foundation, he shunned it off by refering it as moisturizer problem. I was real tempted to tell him that my entire range of products that I am using are Clinique products! What was worst... The mirrors and the lighting conditions highlight and magnify the flaws on both nana n myself. I noticed that the condition of my skin dosen't look right and nana confirmed it after that the mirror is not reflecting accurately what we are look like. And she agreed that the guy was real heavy-handed and to avoid that counter next time. I had to agree and recommend what she said, comsidering my experience there.

Moving on to the next level, I thought of my hat again hahaha. I had been hunting high and low for a nice hat but either I can't find any that fits the design which I want or it's way too big. Well, it happened this time again. While strolling down to the accessories counter, some rings caught my attention. Though I am not a ring person but it can be custom-made with Swarvoski crystal so I thought why not? After going through some designs and decided on the stones, I am real glad that the lady who attended to us was quite knowledgable and not pushy. I will be getting my ring on Monday and a pair of free crystal earrings as there was a promotion. Will try to remember to take a picture for you guys to see;-) At last, my urge to buy stuff was satisfied.

Next, we moved to Isetan Scotts for some bags and clothes browsing. There's a new brand of genuine, hand sewn bags which are real cute! Hahaha but at the moment, I am not so big into bags, more of browsing than urge of buying. As nana was looking for sunglasses for her mum, we moved around and saw that there were hats!!! Hahaha the sizes fit and the designs were cute;-) But end up, I didn't buy any of it as I was thinking that it can wait and as summer approach, more designs will appear. End up, there were no sunglasses except for the real expensive type so nana didn't manage to get anything.

The clothes were ok but things were like strewn around as they were having some sale. Some clothes are real cute and some were simply disgusting. But our minds were set on the shopping spree organised by florence. Hahaha so for the next few days, I guessed we will be prowling over the website to order what we want;-)

After that, I suggested we go Borders to get some books as I remeber J.D. Robbs had 1 new book last year which I didn't get and a new 1 in the same series just came out... There were no small paperbacks for both books, except for the B4 size paperbacks which cost a few dollars more. Well, since there was a promotion and I got a member card, I thought why not. Though it will be heavier to lug around but the quality of paper and size of words are better.

And I finally dug up some old clothes which the cutting were slim fit. Hahaha this is all because of the comments about my weight loss from various people. Nana commented that she nearly couldn't recognise me from my back and about how loose my jeans are. So well, I guessed I got to listen to the people around me hahaha.

Sometimes I am really awed by coincidences. Well, as nana was talking about taking a cab home, my colleague actually called and offer to drive me home. But I didn't pick up the call and anyway, it was not convenient since I was in Orchard hahaha. Most importantly the thought counts and the coincidence is real interesting ;-)

That's all for now... Going to read my book now... Bye!
