My mom is better than yours
September 4, 2013
Before you get all offended by the title, it’s just a hashtag type of phrase Tumblr fangirls use e.g. [celebrity] is better than all of you. But yes my mother is very awesome and here’s why I love her to bits:
– Brought me to Bangkok (we went with my aunt)
– Let me have the window seat because it was my first time on the plane
– Bought me everything I wanted and barely anything for herself
– Paid for all my shopping (I only contributed $400 for the whole trip to partially cover flights, hotel and insurance)
– Did all the planning, booking, packing, research and reading of online reviews (I did zilch)
– Led us around all the awesome places despite it being her first time there
– Put up with all my whining as usual 😀
Had such a marvelous time, mostly thanks to her! Gonna just briefly post a few photos from the trip, detailed post will be up when I have the time 🙂
Haul from the first day (just till the late afternoon)
I counted 11 dresses and 1 pair of shoes I think.
Haul from the first two days! 😀
None of the apparels exceeded 200 baht ($8) ok!! One pair of denim shorts there is only 60 baht ($2.40) like can you believe it. Most expensive item was a swimsuit at 450 baht ($18) followed by a pair of shoes for 390 baht ($15).
Thing is their quality is as good as local blogshops where one item is $25 – $30. Feel so cheated now wtf. I got dresses for like 50 – 80 baht there ($2 – $3). I keep exclaiming ‘Scammer!’ every time I pass by stores in Singapore now lololol.
Omg the ribbon shoes I can’t even. Remember this?! My first and favourite pair at $22 which I’ve worn out and thrown away. Same goes for another grey pair. They had the biggest and squishiest ribbons ever!! My mom was the one who pointed these new ones out to me and we bargained till one pair was about $13. I went absolutely fangirly and insane for the rest of the day.
So not obvious that I like bows, silver, pink and polka dots, right?
I have 5 (should have been 7!) pairs of those ribbon shoes in cream, black, red, silver, and pink now, ha!!!
The $15 shoes. Love all my things ^^
# My mom is better than yours (this I say with utmost conviction)
# My guinea pig is cuter than yours (ditto)
# My things are nicer than yours
50 baht ($2) slippers from the night market.
What even!!! More pl0x!!!!
Favourite person in the world and with good reason ❤
Day before I left Singapore (19 Aug) was a super good one too! Completed two Carousell deals, had lunch at Kiseki Japanese Buffet with Annabelle, then dinner at Pastamania and movie (Tales From The Dark 2) with You You 😀
Blogged about Kiseki before but I only posted collages of the food instead of close-ups so here you go!
SO FREAKING GOOD
Grilled fish, chicken and pork
It’s like so pricey and yet I wanna go back again… yum yum nom nom
Hahaha she looks so happy here!
Decided to go with a simple outfit that day:
Navy blue top – $1 from Song & Song
Silver pants – $5 from Bugis Street
River Island bag – $0 (have you read about it?)
Silver shoes – $24 from Zalora (why I need to stop shopping online)
