Christmas Shopping Spree

With Christmas round the corner, how can I not do some Christmas shopping? Yeah, I know... Excuses to indulge myself again, me and my shopping spree. But hey, I'm after all a living thing call, Woman.

I had been out everyday of last week till yesterday. From hair spa to sales, cafes to movie. Trust me, it's not that I didn't make any effort to tighten my belt with economy looking bleak. Somehow, each shopping spree I would still end up spending at least a certain figure. Sigh... Anyone of you would like to volunteer to be my financial advisor/planner?

Few things that I would like to mention that I had purchased for myself. I bought myself a new Antiprima's Plastiq Bag!!! Who would have imagined this plastiq thingy costs S$695? Jaw dropping price huh... but I bought it at a discount and had paid S$500 for it. Never before they have 20% discount, so it's considered a pretty good deal to me and a further 10% discount for Takashimaya cardholder. I have a silver one, and now I bought this latest design in black color. I simply love the fluffy ribbon in front. KAWAII!!

I must also mentioned the 2 dresses I bought from Miss Selfridge, especially the outercoat!!! So stylish!!! I can wear it on it's own or with a dress underneath, or match it with a pair of jeans and a nice tank top/tee and a pair of long boots. They were having sale, purchase 2nd item at a discount of 50%. The coat cost me S$119 and therefore I only paid $58 for the dress after discount. Total damage at Miss Selfridge : S$177.

Spent a lot at my favourite lingerie boutique "La Senza" as well, damage there is about S$200? Lost track... A polo tee from Lacoste and also 1 for Shen since his birthday is coming : $158, Crabtree & Evelyn as Christmas presents from friends and handcream for myself : about S$250, and some other miscellaneous gifts and stuff. I dare not even look at the receipts and do a proper sums up on my shopping. Gulp!~

Last Sunday, I went to the National Museum for 2 exhibitions. I brought along my pinkystreet dolls, Maki and Yoshiko.

After the museum, I did a bit of shopping at Raffles City. I haven't been there since it was revamped. So many new shops!!! I bought myself a new hat and a nice tank top from River Island. After all the walking, I had a pretty late dinner at Canele. See how Maki and Yoshiko were enjoying the food and dessert as well hehe...

Oh by the way, if you haven't watched the animation "Bolt", do watch it. Opt for the 3D version cos it was awesome! Regan kept giggling and laughing throughout the movie, so was I haha...








After the movie, just before our dinner, I went to Gramophone and bought myself another 3 albums - 2 Japanese and 1 Chinese. Mika Nakashima Best, Decimo Aniversario De Misia and JS. Mika Nakashima's album is not a new release. Lately I have been listening to her songs and starting to like her, hence I bought her compilations. I will be uploading all 3 albums to my imeem account and create a playlist. I might change my Juke Box playlist here to Mika's album =p

Kim Gary's Hongkong Cafe

I went to the one located at Vivo City. I prefer Kim Gary than many other Hongkong cafes here in Singapore. The food are not bad, and prices are pretty reasonable.

Here are some photos on what we had that day. Look at how Regan enjoyed her food and drink.

Sillyporeans?

"Alvin, I'll meet you guys at the cafe instead of MRT station. I'm still at home," I said. "I'll take a bus down instead since I have direct bus".
"They are so right about you being late again. And where the hell is that place? I don't even know how to get there," Alvin grumbled to me.
"Are you a Singaporean? Gosh! How can you not know where the hell Clark Quay is?" I said in disbelief.

Anway, when I reached Necterie (Yes! Necterie again since my last visit which was barely a month ago ^^) all three of them were already there, Alvin, Daniel and Jo. "Are you sure these are enough for us?" Daniel complained. They were looking at the menu and the most filling thing that they served were sandwiches. I told them, people went there mainly for their cakes, not for meals. I also assured them that after a glass of drink, a bowl of soup, sandwiches and desserts, they would walk away feeling bloated. True to my words, by the time all four of us started to dig in at our cakes, we were kind of full already. The dinner was considered free since I had $100 voucher from American Express and the total bill came up to $99 only.

For the three of them, it was their first time to Clark Quay after it had its revamped many years back? I still could not believe when I first heard from them. I mean, HELLO, this is Clark Quay that we are talking about!!! Since that was the case, we toured the place a bit before heading to Mac for a drink and more chatting. We ended the night by agreeing to come out again soon, and me the one to suggest our next venue again haha... My pleasure folks!~

By the way, I did not realise that the chemistry between Alvin and Daniel is so strong? Look at the photos and you will know what I mean wahahaha... =D
