mdm s: har? only two seventy? since when have you become so cheapskate?
mdm r: two seventy means two hundred and seventy. where got cheap?

mdm r: oh ya hor. *giggles*

mdm n: what long champ? i only know to long cham pass!
... ... ...

ignorant talk in the office. want to carry the bag but cannot pronounce its french name.
never been to paris so they never know how cheap these bags are over there.
and the funniest thing i heard at charles de gaulle airport - an auntie with singapore acent:
why fold up like that one? why they sell fake long champ at the airport har?

anyways, i have just bought myself an new tote, the in-est colour this season.

basilico & 55

i took my parents to basilico at the regent for a dinner last night for a father's day treat when my mum showed me a cpf letter belonging to my dad. he will be 55 in august and hence, will be eligible to withdraw his cpf monies. of course the issue of what to do with the amount came up and naturally it evolved into getting a new home, especially when they had just visited my aunt's new home at the pinnacle last week.

i have no intention to get a hdb and get myself tied up for the rest of my life over a hdb flat. i think many singaporeans are just to anxious to get a flat, especially the newly weds. they do not consider the implications of getting a public housing in singapore. on the surface, hdb claims that its primary objective is to provide a roof for singaporeans (attractive grants) and they make it very explicit that foreigners are not eligible for such preferential treatment. so this group of people can either opt for resale flats (no grants) or private property (commercial interests rates).

it really seems that hdb is taking care of singaporeans in this sense but really, if one bothers to analyze the situation, it is obvious that the ones who stand to gain are the foreigners when they dispose off their property and leave the country. i find it appalling that hdb flats are often the first and only (4 in 5 people) choice made by singaporeans. im really not sure if hdb has done well in their claim to provide a roof over every singaporean but i think their success comes from brain washing the locals to make them their first choice when it comes to getting a new home.

好不容易讨来一个 30cmX50cm 的空间,不装满它,那儿对得起自己?

170, jam, kim gary, padini & strawberry yogurt

i woke up this morning and decided to buy some new shirts for work next week. the first thing that came into my mind was padini.

hence i left house at 9:45am and waited for the bus to come. the journey to the causeway was quite fast but i met with an unexpected at the causeway. it took 1hr 30mins to clear both customs and i reached city square slightly past 12.

by then i was already growling but i went to padini to have a preview first. the first thing i saw was a red sign that says: SALE

im so thrilled and fastened my pace to see the percentage of discounts: 20% to 50%

amazing. i came at the right time!

after a preliminary round of scanning, i decided not to buy new pants for the time being and quickly walked out the store to look for kim gary.

it wasnt crowded when i got there and was quickly ushered to a table. i ordered mark 6 curry with rice and wrongly ordered an iced coffee which turned out to suit my taste. the curry, baked with cheese, is spicy hot. yummy! and for only rm 15, it comes with a vegetable soup, service charge and taxes. i doubt the singapore outlet will be even close this price.

after lunch, i headed back to padini fully charged. i zoomed straight to the shirts and bought 3 at 50% off. come to think of it, its less than sgd 70 for the 3 shirts. i should have just bought more. maybe i can go again tomorrow. ha ha!

after that i headed back home and made fresh strawberry yogurt for mummy. she is 6yrs old today. such an adorable mummy. love her, love her, love her.
