Uomo Italy
 The Great Singapore Sale is still going on in Singapore and I'm a real sucker for bargain items. I know sales in Singapore isn't a really fantastic event that is to be proud of but to me, any discount is a discount. Haha! It's just a matter of whether I need/want the item and is it worth enough. :) So what have I bagged so far? Well nothing much really coz I don't know what else to buy even though there's a whole lotta bargains out there. From bags to clothing to accesories, U name it and everything is probably on sale (except Louis Vuitton of course!). Hahaha...
I thought I need a bag but I can't decide on which bag is suitable for me so it's still in my "shopping list" for now. I also thought I need more clothings but I immediately strike it off the list when my mom reminded me that I'm entering National Service soon. What's the link? Well firstly, I'll only be going out on weekends (that is IF I do) and secondly, I probably would have shed off some extra pounds by then so what would I do with all the big clothings? Teehee!!! :P
Hmmm... that leaves me with accesories. Well, since I'm not the type who accesorise much, the choice for me is somewhat limited too. Haha. I don't wear a dog tag, wrist band or any other forms of accesories except for a watch and a ring (on my pinky finger). So yeah... But then, ever since I started wearing a ring, it seems like I'm obsessed over them! I already have so many rings but I can still purchase more. Funny eh? Hehe. Still, I only get those "chic and cheap" ones so it's not a wonder how I can keep on buying... :P
Speaking of which, I bagged a new ring at an irresistable deal yesterday! For the longest of time, I have been lusting over the lovely rings at Uomo Italy (located in Paragon) but never purchase any because, I don't find it worthit to invest in an accesory that cost more than SGD50 (especially when they're pretty plain). I would rather save up and get a bag or something. Haha. So imagine my shock when I saw the sign that reads "70% Discount Storewide", outside their store!!! Without thinking twice, I immediately checked out their sale items.
The collections weren't really impressive this time round but after a quick mental calculation, I thought the price were reasonable enough and this could be the only chance for me to grab something from Uomo Italy at a steal! Hahaha. So I scrutinize each ring carefully and finally decided to get a quirky piece which has the words "Veni Vidi Vici" engraved all around the ring. At the point of purchase, I have no idea what the words meant but what I know was, it gave the ring a little character. :)
 Back home, I did a quick research on the three words and guess what they mean? Apparently, it is a famous Latin sentence allegedly said by Julius Caesar in 47 BC which simply translates to "I came, I saw, I conquered". WOW!!! This gives a whole new meaning to a "statement piece", no?! Hehe. Weeeee~ I'm extremely euphoric now! I thought getting the ring at a steal was good enough but look, I got more than what I wanted. Hahahaha.... :D
P/S: *hint* The ring is in size 19... Hehehe!
