Retail therapy that's not exactly therapy
Met up with my sis last week for lunch and I wanted to eat at Food Republic at Wisma because their hokkien noodles are quite good(but the service is shit!) and I had a hokkien noodle craving but she wanted to eat at Far East. Long story short, hokkien noodles there were bland. That day was supposed to be a day for retail therapy but was in truth only only 85 bucks worth of retail therapy... If u consider that all that 85 bucks went to a pair of guess jeans then yes that's retail therapy, or should I say "retail therapy". The other 150 bucks went into buying work clothes! I bought a colour that I also never thought that I'll ever wear... pink... Sis's recommendation lah(All the clothes I got that day was sis's recommendation anyway). Luckily she also chose(and bought for me) a great tie to go along with it! Thanks sis! For work clothes i got 2 new shirts , a tie and a new belt. I wanted to get a Braun Buffel belt initially but because it was(!!) 99 bucks I had to settle for Pierre Cardin because its 42 bucks... What to do? Since I'm not earning yet I have to choose the lesser of 2 evils. In this case it's monetary evils! I must get that BB belt once I start earning!
What made me feel dumb was that when I got home I found out that the pink Italian shirt I got was too large! I bought the clothes that day based on collar size ah. That made me feel so stupid! Anyway my mom brought me back the next day to change the shirt for a new one. Only thing was that there was no more new ones as the smaller ones were all snapped up so she had to choose some new stuff for me(I admit! I've terrible fashion sense!). No Problem anyway my mom chose another pink shirt for me and at the same time she got me another new shirt :P so not bad lah. I changed for a new shirt and at the same time I got another shirt sponsored by mom :D After that, in appreciation for my mom's help I blanjah her dinner at Food Republic. This time for REAL hokkien noodles! Gloria shared the noodles with mom but was still hungry and I had to buy Chicken Rice for her... she's getting fatter!
After dinner, I joined(in alphabetical order) Alfred, Frank, Geraldine and James at "Harry's at the Esplanade" for drinks. I haven't seen them for the longest time already. Had a yellow submarine that was terrible(Hard Rock Cafe sells the best damned yellow submarine, PERIOD!), Heineken beer and shared one big cup of beer with Geraldine... I only had a sip but it was good! Better than the Heineken! Anyway Heineken is the best cheap beer lah so I don't think I can complain too much. Cocktail faux pas aside, the live band performing there was fantastic. It made me almost want to get up and dance although I dance as bad as or worse than a bathroom dancer... Wait... I AM a bathroom dancer! Anyway it was the music that made me wanna stay but staying would've caused me to miss the last train but thank god I caught it! ...Although I had to put in some effort to catch it(Running lah, What else?). Earlier that evening, Geraldine blanjah us some liquor chocolates from choz too. I used to hate those chocolates but those chocolates from choz made me a believer.... I BELIEVE!!! FREE AT LAST!!!! FREE AT LAST!!!! Not to mention their service is great too! Thumbs up!
...Did I mention that James seemed so happy and alive when he was talking to Geraldine? Other than that he looked very out of it(not to mention that his "I hate taking pics" stand dramatically changed when he took pics with her) hahaha Now u know why I didn't talk as much as I normally do with u right Geraldine?
