Some Like it Haute

let's see.

it was a productive five hour shopping trip.. though utterly justified by my paycheck. it was awesome to not have to consider comtemplate mull over the price tags.. i do pride myself for being a prudent shopper.. though there were 'eye candies', i only bought items that qualified under the category of 'love at first sight'. haha.. i finally got my danish designer/label item.. it has always been a goal of mine to splurge on a scandinavian deigner or brand because they have some spanking amazing designs here..

i bought a skirt from this brand called 'soaked in luxury' (SIL). initally i was contemplating a 400 sing dollar dress from bruun bazaar.. it had a flamboyant peacock/flowers ring to it.. it was sooo beautiful as the colours were incredibly well-syncnised.. but alas, i am unfortunately ill-endowed so the dress felt and looked like a sack on me. "RETURN TO HANGER," it screamed. so you can only imagine how excited i was when i found my SIL skirt.. and at such a great price, i almost felt like buying the other colours.. shoobeedoowhup.

it was a great day to be out.. the town was out in full force, savouring the sunny weather till its last golden drop and i walked around so much.. the right rubber sole of my flats popped out.. so now i have got to get it fixed.. hoho

needless to say, although i had a day off from work, i headed over to my workplace in the evening just to hang out.. i am definitely feeling the distinct effects of the world cup fever. the guys in the residence crowd in the courtyard and are pertually fixated on the television.. last night, my darling ecuadorian sushi chef/ manager asked if i could 'do him a favour'- which was to clean up his sushi bar while he sped home to catch ecuador vs. poland. mitz, our only japanese employee, took the entire next week off so that he could focus on the world cup. seriously guys. oh if you think that business has suffered, think again. the takeaway section is on overrun and hordes of people fill in the restaurant an hour before we close.. as long as the tips are good, i say 'come on over!'

tonight, the remaining girls in the residence sat in elena's balcony and just chatted over coffee and tiramisu. stina is leaving soon so we are meeting up for brunch tomorrow and on monday for some catching up.. oh it is almost too quiet around here!

i sound so incoherant again.

off to bed.
