Gosh, it's been more than a week since my last post. Obviously I have a whole lot to say but nah, it's for me to know and for you to find out ... not! Haha. So far, life has generally been good for me. Even so, I guess it can be a Million times better if not for some buggers who just love to ruin everything. Hmmm... I wonder who? Hush. :)
Anyways, as usual, my mind is always filled up with school and work that I barely have time to think of anything else. It may sound exaggerating but that's the fact! I'm sorta freaking out too coz off late, I do get a little stressed out and the temptation to go on a retail theraphy is sooooo irresistable! Still, I must control my expenditure. Told myself to be a little thrifty. Spend only when necessary. Yeah, what a bunch of bullshit, Nizam! :(
On a lighter note, going out with mom always put a smile on my face. :) She can be very annoying/irritating/naggy/weird at times but I will always adore her. Awwww, sweet or what? Haha! So, last Saturday morning, we decided to "send" our lovely bags for repair. They just need a professional touch up. Where do you normally send your bags for repair? My choice, Mirrco @ Bylands Building (next to NAFA - Middle Street). Why? Well, not only is the workmanship fantastic, the price charged is so affordable and worthit too! To think they can repair almost any problems found a particular bag, is just amazing! Can't wait to collect it later today. I know I won't be disappointed. :D
Afterwards, we went round Bugis Junction in search of a small black shoulder bag for my granny. Her birthday is in 14 days time or so. Sadly, nothing is suitable. Even if there is, it's just way over budget. I then wanted to buy a cream tote bag from Charles & Keith for mom (in view of the upcoming Mothers' Day), but sadly, there wasn't anymore stock for the particular design/colour in the Bugis Junction's outlet. How sad! I will continue lookin out at other Signature Label Outlets though. They should have it and I MUST have it! Hahaha! Mom will totally love it, I tell u! How do I know? Well, I just know. It's so her style, trust me. Little did she know that I am getting the bag for her. Hush again. ;D
Before going on with more window shopping, we decided to take a break at Swensens. More like tea time. Haha. Since we just had Burger King for brunch, we couldn't possibly eat any main course. I wanted just ice cream whereas mom wanted finger foods. I guess it's obvious then that we ordered a little bit of both. When the ice cream was served, it caught us by surprise that there's a candle on it. We were told that it's actually a birthday ice cream. Little did I recall the name. I just pointed the picture on the menu. Haha. Well, told my mom to regard it as a mini, early Mothers' Day treat for herself. :P
Fries, Fried Oyster Mushroom and "Birthday" Ice Cream
Love the little candle on top the banana!
After the sumptous quick break, we headed to Bugis Street to see if there are any bags suitable for my granny. Guess what? We found the perfect bag the moment we entered. It's not branded, it's not glamorous & it's not over the top. It's just a simple weave shoulder bag. What's not to love about this unique, one of its kind, bag? Not only it is cheap (SGD 25), it is also spacious and most importantly, similar to the bags my granny used to carry! She used to own a whole lot of weave bags (in all kind of material) in the past. No, she wasn't rich. Get this, she did her own weaving! Gosh! Now, those good old days may be gone but through a small bag, memories can be relived, no? Awesome! :D
The only flaw about the bag is that there are no internal pockets. First of all, there's no lining so how can there be a pocket? Haha. Apparently, my granny have her own make up set too! No kidding! Thus, to avoid losing the small items, I also bought her a limited edition Naraya cosmetic pouch. SGD 12.90 is very much worthit for a Naraya item! Thanx to the storewide sale! :D I am so loving the "burberry inspired" design on the pouch. Flawless! I also found a reason to get mom a smaller cosmetic pouch worth SGD 6.90 to replace the one she bought in Bangkok, back in 1999! Actually, Naraya item does last long! The current one she's using has very minor signs of wear even after so many years. Truly, value for money! ;)
Gawd, so much focus is placed on my grandma and mom that I totally neglect my god mom! For your info, she raised me from baby till my kindergarten days. Sheesh! What should I get her? She's home bound as she has knee problems, thus it's very difficult to get her anything! Hmmm... It's ok. Will continue to look around for a suitable thing for her. I'm sure I'll get it soon! :)
Till the next time I feel like blogging, adios peeps! Take good care! ;) P/S: Azy dear, I just have to include u in this post! Haha! Remember, don't take any nonsensical criticism to heart. Be strong, yeah! We'll bitch more on our next working day, aite? *hugs*
Regards,
Niz
