Ive never felt so satisfied with my overspent purchases. There were no impulse buying. Though i did buy yet another pair of jeans (bought levis not too long ago) and a spankingly brand new golden pair of shoes for Hari Raya. (note: I think im wearing black this year so hopefully gold matches it haha but even if it doesnt my prada will *winks*) The jeans took me a day to think it over and i'd figured just buy and get it over it. It was a whopping us$180++ but still cheaper than in Singy so ok right to invest in just 1 pair. No?
A whole clear day in San Francisco was spent shopping. Sales Sales everywhere and do i admit it was far better and more savings than in Singy. You dont see old stock going on sale. What you see were items on previous season going on sale. For eg: I bought a pair of capri jeans from American Eagle just 11/2 mths ago and the same pair is now going on sale. Yeah im suppose to feel angst but my size was no longer available. hehe :)
This is damage done on first day.
The almost clear second day was spent on Alcatraz island. Ive been there before some years ago but back then i didnt bring along a camera so i didnt had the opportunity to take any pixs. For this time ard well...i did bring along a camera but i was using this new 1gb super cheap sd card and well....the quality is bad. Perhaps its not compatible with my camera sumwhow. I shd have stuck on sandisk. Ex but quality unquestionable.
Anyway the whole trip took us just a few hours and we wasted no time going shopping again. Brenda wanted to get something else for hubby as she got only a top for him. Instead of her buying more, i ended buying more tops for myself, shoes and another top for him and finally closed one eye and paid for my very first exp jeans. Will i even wear it i wonder?
This is damage done on second day.
Yes just these 2 days alone i spent my whole allowance for the whole trip or actually if u include the jeans which i die die don't want was more. But im very satisfied with my purchases and im one happy overspent shopper.
Well back to Hong Kong, we were supposed to go shopping at the prada factory outlet but me and May had overspent ( she spent over us$1000, slightly more than me) so we were too scared to step in afraid we will be more than tempted to add more to damage already done.
So it was merely makan and dessert sessions and at night...we surprised Brenda with a lil birthday party.
It was her birthday. And im so happy all us came down to celebrate even though the guys wanted to watch soccer more. (Germany vs Argentina) See how sporting the guys in donning dat big nose prop...hehe...
The second day i spent a crazy super scorching day in HK Disneyland.
If you're a first timer to Disneyland, i think you would like HK's version of the famous Disneyland. You don't have to travel so far to California to dwell in the fairytales. BUT if you've been to the one over there like me, this pales in comparison. Very small and rides were too few. But the sourvenirs were cheap and i actually bought quite a few disney tees for me and my siblings and an uber cute mickey mouse mug for him. Coz i know he dun dig disney tees so it would be a waste of moos to get him one. Anyway despite the heat and the sweaty smells from everyone including yours truly, i had an enjoyable time with Brenda even so when i found out my other teamgirls went shoping and one bought a BV bag while the other a MJ bag. Yah so what if the bags they bought were like 30-50% off and so so much cheaper than in Singy but ive alredy like bought 2 big bags and 1 clutch. That sums it all NO?
Ive a good 4 days off including yesterday. Im into the second day now and im left with another 2 more days. It seems time is ticking so fast and before you know it , im off to yet another destination. But rest assured i'll not be spending for a gd whole mth.May included. We were hoping to hibernate in Mel & Lhr later. I hope. Though i have alredy drawn a bit of a shopping list for lhr coz my last lhr in early june , i didnt get some stuffs. haha! But its only abt 30 pounds altogether...ok right?
I have alhamdulilah another states flt ending July and i just hope i wun go gaga again but i think i will not be coz my shopping kakis nt ard.
Well....im off now...catching that MR super underwear on the outside later at Omni Max.... :)
Happy 4th of July!
