Xmas Shopping! :)

I went down to taka today to get all the xmas presents which came up to a hefty sum. It really irked me when I saw huge crowds there although it was only about 3 pm. The queues were snaking and I thought that for once, it's a sat or sun. I decided to go into the specialty shops like Armani and Hugo Boss to get the anniversary present for him this Sunday. Am looking forward to xmas cum anniversary but not looking forward to the week after that which's filled with meetings in preparation for the crazy year ahead. Anyway, I was tempted to step into LV to check out if the white glossy bag that i am in love with is still around but decided not to as I need $$!!! Then I headed over to Armani and was just so upset that the shirt which I thought looked really good online wasn't very striking or impressive up close and personal so it wasn't worth that 200 bucks. I went over to CK which had better shirts and more colours so I settled for one grey shirt. After I bought the shirt, I wandered about rather aimlessly in taka before I came face to face with Hugo Boss again. Not knowing why, I just went in to check out the shirts' designs. I nearly kicked myself when I saw that the shirts weren't as exp as I thought. I should have bought them instead of the CK one. Afterall, there isn't much price difference. Damn. I'll buy from hugo boss next time. Feeling cheated, I indulged myself in a crazy shopping spree, buying swarovski crystals for my aunts and birds nest for my grandma from paragon, and some nice decor stuff for my maid and my aunt's maid too. So you can imagine the amount of load I was shouldering and my feet were screaming for a good rest. Of course, I could sniff the burning smell in my pocket as I had effectively burnt a hole in it. And Bonus was Pathetic! Now, I gotta beg $$ from others so that I can afford the expensive dinners that are to come this week. Thank goodness the french and jap restaurants dont open early as my colleagues and I had intended to eat at Jaan or Equinox rest or Inagiku before the performance at the esplanade. But it's not much of a consolation since they made me think of another nice place to eat at, which I cleverly suggested my humble house, knowing that my pocket would really be made very humble after the dinner.

Oh yes, I must gush about the fantastic crayfish horfun that's sold at the empire cafe at raffles hotel. Oh my god, it's not just delicious, it's really fantastic and it's worth that $15 + and it's a huge serving. As I couldn't eat seafood thanks to my lip which still looks ugly, I took small chunks and was so upset that I couldn't eat more! I was forced to eat some huge bowl of fish slice noodles which aren't too bad either but still can't be compared to the horfun! I was whining to my aunt and she deliberately told me she's bringing my cousin to eat there again this Thurs so I insisted that I will come along again. Hope they try the crab fried rice which looked really delicious on other ppl's table so that I can take a small bite without offending my delicate lip :P

Well, so much for my lose weight plan. I wonder if I'm just throwing my money down the drain for paying for the personal training coz discipline's needed too when it comes to losing weight.. Sighh...
