And I still haven't bought my shoes...
I went to Novena Sq today. Ting told me there is a adidas shop there that sells stuff at 30-50% discounts. So went from Bugis to Novena to take a look. The stuff there are a bit older... but if you are looking for simple adidas stuff, no harm going there.
But I felt uneasy when I reached Novena... it felt like hostile zone. I dislike the place instantly. In fact, I just looked through the stuff at the shop so quickly, I think I was out in a flash. Actually, not really... nothing caught my eye. But I am damn sure I just want to get out of that place as soon as possible.
I hate that place...
But... I sure like the spray I got myself... the bottle is great, the fragrance is alright though. The sales girl was telling it is more of a spicy fragrance. She let me tried another as well... can't remember which one was it. I inquired about the price, $90+ for a 70ml bottle, and the price above for the 50ml. I asked to see the 50ml, nice design, perfect size. I took the 50ml instantly. I think the girl was a little surprised by my split second decision. Dumbstrucked for like a second or two... then she happily led me to the counter. Wonder if she made any commission out of it. There was another fella down there too. Very friendly, even said 'goodbye and hope to see you again'.
But today had some problems with the cards at Giordano though. At starbucks, I haven't had a problem. Swiped and signed. Giordano, nope... I was left standing and waiting for quite some time. Switched to another card, still cannot. Ha... in the end, paid by cash. They must be wondering why I never used cash in the first place.
Sometimes I wished for more days like this. Not that I was really a shopping fanatic, I was more of, you know, loving the feeling that I can sit in coffee house, sipping coffee and eating a cheesecake in the middle of a weekday afternoon. Not many people around, but enough for me to check out some of the afternoon crowd while I sit in the aircon environment enjoying my coffee. And to see kids playing at the fountain... that is really one hell of a feeling.
Another thing I realised is, I love going to the major bookstores. And I am particularly inclined to finding books that had been made into major blockbusters like The Godfather and The Firm. Of course, some times I pick up books that catches my eye. Anyone has discount cards or something like that? Help me out on this. Ha...
I still need my shoes... Budget budget budget... ha... hell with it! It is Chinese New Year! I am entitled to new shoes! Thursday, before work...
O'rite, off I go!
