Both Great Singapore Sales and issue of poverty of the next generation, are featured in today ST.
Wat an oxymoron.
Do they want us to think about those pple who cannot afford to shop while we are splurging? Durrhhh.
Is it just a harmless coincidence, or, meant for deterrence?
Well, maybe I am scared, I even felt guilty of thinking about the white flowery skirt that will made a nice addition to my wardrobe after reading such articles on poverty.
There are people out there who can't even have a full stomach, who does not get to see parents regularly, who has no pocket money or a table to study.
Yet here am I, complaining, whining on stuffs, when worse can have befall on me. I shd have known better, yet I don't. I shd be thankful to all that have been bestowed.
I am so ashamed of my material indulgence especially when I noe so many of them; the people of poverty.
So here I am, staying in, spending the first day of GSS, without Shopping.
N.B.: This transient feeling will promptly dissipate by tmr.

Weekend sports
Done quite a large amount of outdoor sports last week. Normally, I will just do indoor exercise in the gym. Last weekend, I spent all my exercising time in the open air... Shiok.
Went for two cycling trip last week at ECP. Suppose to be one cycling trip and one blading trip. But I was extremely lasy to hurl my cumbersome blades all the way to ECP to blade for 2 hours tops. Rather blade in my neighbourhood park loh.
Realise that ECP sells Peanut ice kachang. Not bad, quite crunchy and icy. Went to the Bedok Centre for my lunch. The store that sells curry rice is not bad. Only $1.80 for three type of curries. The curries were not too hot tho. The drink stall beside it sells lychee drink as big as big gulp. $1.20 per cup, super cheap.
*************************************************************************************
I went for the big walk on Sunday. The usual crowd was there. The" pigtail" guy whom I saw every year was there. Lots of cute Jack russels, schnauzer and terriers made their presence felt. No Bloody paws this year tho, phew.
Feel less tired this year despite a slight ache in my tights. Complete the walk in 1.5 hours time due to the crowd. Else should be able to complete earlier. We walked throughout the journey as we were not suppose to run or jog.
Inspire me to joined the Shape Run in July. This is my first competitive run. After completion of the run, you can get a goodies bag consisting of lots of stuff like NIke singlet, bottles, bags and perfumes...WAhhhhhh. The registration is even waive as I signed up for a 6 mth subscriptions for Shape. Since I buy Shape every month, it is no big deal for me to subscribe. I save $15 in the process. Even get another extra goodie bag as I signed up for the event during the big walk. There is a nice groovy Cd that I can run with after converting it to the MP3. I dun even need to train as I am running 5km only. Hahaaha... Really the lure of the goodies bag, is great.

Garfield bday
Before makan
Garfield need to work earlier, thus Hui and I went shopping first.Hui and mum are satisfied with my "professional" Judgement last week in Dorthory Perkins thus decided to "employ" me as her personal shopper for this week as well.( Honestly because the fashion leader aka garfield is not ard, else u think anyone will seek my opinion on this? Wahaha)
Too bad Charles and Keith did not have wat we want in the correct size. (peep toe low heels) Suggest to Hui that she shd try Aldo as the size may be bigger. Hui is v v keen on my suggestions. Went to Aldo, she decided the shoes there are too expensive. Okie, no prob, we Shopper has to work within the budgets.
Thus went to VNC at city link, services suxs. Maybe, there were too many customers. Still I dun like bad services. Shoes not as pretty as I tot, thus we went away.
Went to Dorthory Perkins again as Hui want to buy more clothes. We went there, she try a few, but did not get wat she want. I was busy toking to Vee gal at that time, thus din notices wat she chose. Then I saw something... Black top, slight puffy sleeve, the right size for Hui. I grab, thrust it at Hui who timely appear outside the resting Room.
She try, thumbs up, even Vee say so... Make the purchase. I am the speeder shopper... Quick quick is the key
Last Week I kinda "force" Garfield to buy the pale yellow pumps instead of the brown one as I feel that it complimented her skin tone more than the practical brown one.
Feel happy, when Di compliment on the Yellow pumps this week.*happy*
During Makan
We eat at a open cafe called indodine. At first, I tot it is indochine, then told Vee.
Vee: where are we eating?
Mee: Err.. a place called iodochine.
Vee: I tot that place is in Wisma?
Mee: ???
In the end, I spell wrongly lah... Blur like sotong. Not all the food is good, Long san 's tomato's bread, is a bit funny in taste. Mine is tomato base pasta, taste okie. tho I feel that roma deli's one is better. Still the food at iododine is still value for Money lah.
Vee shows us some of the photos she take in Korea. V interesting. She went to place where Winter Sonata and Jewel in the places were shot. I am envious of her holiday, I oso want to go. Her photos taking skills are quite good and you can see lots of blossoms. Pretty, yet I dun noe the names of flowers. Vee gal oso become a tai tai in Korea as she splunge on the face shop products... Nice of her to bring back so many face mask for us... Hmm so many flavour as well. Got Red ginseng, pearl lah and lemon. I have tried the pearl one... V V good.
Afterthots
Haiz, we are all so busy with our life that we can only meet during someone 's birthday. Haiz, onli my and Garfield meet frequently... Anyway, the next bday of the gang is mine... Yeah!!!!
