Bad decisions make good stories. And I always have a good story.

Free shopping… and more

Today feels like an early Christmas and adds on to the list of why this year is awesome. It all started about two weeks ago when I received a call while running at the gym. For some weird reason I answered it though I didn’t stop running at all throughout the convo because I didn’t want to lose the momentum.

This woman from Nee Soon Central CC asked if I would be interested in an event at Chong Pang CC where we would get to choose clothes, all of which were FREE and BRAND NEW. All I had to do was to turn up with my IC at 8.45am and I could even bring one female aged 16-60 so I gave my mom’s name.

So this morning we went despite being clueless about everything. The only info I really had was ‘pick free clothes’. Registered our names, queued for awhile and woohoo we made it into the first batch of 20.

We were given McChicken Burger each as refreshments and there was even a free polaroid-taking session.

Then we were allowed into this indoors hall where all the clothes were. I was hopping it was not the kind of grab as many as you can in xxx seconds or those you have to play games for because I was so not in the mood for that on a Saturday morning. Luckily it turned out to be much more organised.

Every person could pick one item from the red zone (tops, bottoms, dresses), one item from the orange zone (underwear , stockings), and one item from the yellow zone (shoes, bags, accessories in sets of five). Not bad, quite a lot to choose from!

Spent quite a long time choosing till the staff was telling everyone to hurry up because they were gonna let the next batch in. We got a black dress, a pair of black shorts, a pair of fur boots, a bag and bras between the both of us.

Ahhh definitely my favourite find of the day! And it’s from River Island — a shop I have never bothered entering because the things are so pricey. The price tag on this bag says $106!

Second favourite find! Fur boots which I can share with my mom because we have the same shoe size 😀
The price tag on the soles say $139

So we went to checkout the items and I thought that was all. But no… they gave us a goodie bag containing drinks and a bottle of hand lotion each. Followed by an ang bao too. You’ll never guess how much it contained…

A WHOPPING $100 EACH!!!!

When we finally left the hall, there were free accessories for us to choose and take as many as we like from.
Wtf is this real life of is this fantasy!!!? I still can’t believe how lucky we were.  I was told only about free clothes (they really were brand new) and it turned out to be so much more asdfghjkl

First time hearing of such an event in my neighbourhood. During the phone convo, the woman said I was eligible because I’d applied for some bursary in 2011 (which I got) and it’s an event for lower-income families (can’t stand it when people say I’m rich just by judging from my shopping habits lulz).

My mom and I were saying that we would totally be uneligible if the saw the amount of stuff I have at home and if they knew we were going to Bangkok in a few weeks time 😀 Woohoo can use the extra cash to do more shopping then HAHAHA. Thanks so much whoever contributed to the event!!! In terms of:

1) Free food
2) Free polaroids
3) Free clothes/shoes/bags/accessories
4) Free goodie bag
5) Free cash

Brunch afterwards… what a splendid day! Glad to have spent it with the one person I love unconditionally 🙂
Just realised that I didn’t arrange the food properly before the photo because three meatballs are hidden lol.


Very grool

mean girls grool

– Ugh totally had such a moment at work during in front of my colleagues and editor
– I meant to say that a story was ‘mine’ but I was thinking about the ‘moth’ in the story
– So it came as something like ‘moi’… asdfghjklm
– Why am I such an awkward person

– Like yesterday I was going to the library to return books
– And my plastic bag broke the moment I alighted the bus so all my books went sprawling
– A group of guys in front helped me pick them up
– I just took my books, said thanks and scurried away without even looking at anyone
– You people saw nothing ok

– I paid $10 in library fines as well
– Isn’t the rate like 10 cents per day or something
– Ok so I borrowed seven books
– And maybe they are close to 2 weeks overdue
– I honestly had no time to return them…
– BUT STILL, $10????? Are you insane NLB

– Slacked off in running again this week; I only went on Monday
– Tuesday’s plot twist: Slept at 8pm… twist undone by waking up at 1am.
– “Ok I shall not sleep anymore since I have already slept more than on an average day.”
– “Ok I shall just take a quick nap but wake up a lot earlier.”
– “Oh fudge it’s already 8.30am.”
– As with all grand plans of mine, this was epic fail as well

– Just like how I said I wanted to cut my hair weeks ago and I still haven’t
– Just like how I can finally change my phone and I sill haven’t
– My excuse is I’m waiting for the pink S3 to come to Singapore
– I thought I would be okay with a white one but then
– I saw a Note 2 in pink the other day and it was sooo pretty
– Why would you have a pink Note 2 but not a pink S3 or S4
– Omg pink
– I mean, just look at the colour of the text you’re reading

– Shopping and Hangover 3 with Youyou on Wednesday
– Geez I spent $80 at HMV two weeks ago but I bought more dvds anyway
– But I’m so happy ok because it’s GSS so everything was cheap
– Thankfully I didn’t see any of the titles I bought two weeks ago

– Omg can you believe it I managed to find Clueless (1995)!!!!!
– But they didn’t have Requiem For A Dream (2000)
– Which is outrageous because how can you not stock such a classic
– They didn’t have Following (1998) as well which is a freaking masterpiece
– I NEED it to complete my Christopher Nolan collection!!!!!!!! ❤

– Erwin came to look for me under my block when I was on the way home
– As you know I am a very fast-paced control freak who likes everything quick
– And this was one of the rare times I decided it would be ok to just sit down and do nothing
– But just catch up with an old friend from primary school
– Somehow ended up walking to Macs to get ice cream at 3am

– Parents fetched me from work on Thursday
– Happened to be raining heavily that day 😀
– I knocked out cold right after dinner again for the second time this week
– My dad dozed off on the living room floor as well because I took his spot on the bed
– I knew it couldn’t be just me with such a habit…

– Love how on Friday morning, right after the meeting, Baoying and I immediately turned to each other
– I pointed upstairs (referring to the cafeteria) and she whispered, “Yong Tau Foo”

– Watched Now You See Me at night with Linus and Amos
– Omg I’ve been waiting for so long and it was very near perfect
– I wish it was perfect… but it’s okay because the cast already is ❤‿❤
– Jesse Eisenberg Jesse Eisenberg Jesse Eisenberg and his beautiful voice
– Idc my future husband better have Ian’s smoulder and Jesse’s voice asdfghklcz

Speaking of which, does anyone have a link to Jesse Eisenberg’s Univision interview with Romina Puga (heinous bitch how dare you!!!!)? I cannot view the original clip because it’s not available in Singapore and I can’t find it anywhere else 🙁 Sigh I swear people these days don’t know the meaning of ‘lighten up’ anymore.

– David came to fetch me after that
– I am very sad because he sold his red car and bought another one
– Lol I’m not even the owner but stilllll
– Anw Jerry said I look thinner muahaha
– 再接再历, 继续努力!!
– Must stop slacking and start running twice a week again
– Try not to ask me out on Mondays and Thursdays ok HAHA

– Midnight supper at Swee Choon on Saturday with Amos, Linus, Yixuan and his gf
– Lol we ordered WAY too much for five people
– Linus ordered 4 sets = 16 pieces of goreng pisang
– Why would you do that
– No really
– Why

It means a lot to me to come home to awesome food cooked by my mom or meet my friends after a long day at work. So many reasons to be happy… like how I’m receiving a parcel a day thanks to my spate of online purchases recently. Idk… love working so much that I don’t even feel like going back to school anymore. Even the factor of distance is on work’s side. But oh well I’ll see.

Getting loads of male attention lately and I don’t understand why. Like… a lot more than usual. 4, 5? I’ve just been going about my life the same. Is everyone high on drugs. Not gonna say much about the topic on my blog as usual, but everything that’s been happening just got me started thinking about lots of stuff. Ok whatever.

Omg I am so mad (not really) because everyone’s discussing The Purge on Yahoo Answers, which I’ve been wanting to see since forever whether good or sucky, but it’s only released here on 29 August. By then, no one will be talking about it on the forum anymore. I want to watch Before Midnight really badly too, the first 2 films were so good T_T

Youyou said we can start making plans for Paranormal Activity 5 already lol. We watch it every year 😀 Oh and I’m so worried Man Of Steel will suck and ruin Nolan’s flawless record. If it does I’ll just say it’s because he’s only the producer. If you thought Inception was great… just wait till you see the rest of his filmography.

Woah, long post.
But these weekly synopses are fun.

That's all folks
