Finally got to go Chapel. Think the last time I went there to do my shopping was with Josh after exams last semester. That is long man.
Anyway. Reached Chapel at abt 3 yesterday. Can't believe how ppl can stare and sneer at a poor driver trying to parallel park. For god's sake, there is no power steering. U try parking that way huh.
So gave up that lot and parked at the multi-storey car-park near Jam factory instead. Headed off to SportsGirl straight away. Tried on 'The Gorgeous' the jeans, and I love it~~ Can't believe I can actually squeeze into a size 8 with my stout legs. Haha. But that was a moral booster nevertheless. :D
Wanted to buy the pair of maroon slippers too, but they ran out of size 7. I dun care. Am gonna get it frm other SportsGirl regardless. That's the kindda slippers I have been looking for since ages ago, until I saw Alvina wearing it. Haha.
Din buy anything from SportsGirl in the end. Tot I mgt wanna shop ard first b4 making any impulsive decisions, like I always do. Hehz :p. Anyway, SportsGirl outlets are everywhere, aren't they....
Lollita has a sale on, with a 20% off everything in store...so I tried on this pair of black pants and a sleeveless green top. Love the black pants, but its a bloody $72 even after discount...hmm..contemplated for a while and finally decided to get only the top for a mere $20. Got a brown one at the end thou. yay :)
Jon tried on a few pair of jeans as well. but no luck in finding a satisfactory pair. either the pricing is too steep, or the cut / colour doesnt look nice...hmmm..i tot only gals have a prob of finding themselves a suitable pair of jeans.
Met Chai on the way...Man, i think he lost weight...but he defended by saying when has he ever gained weight..hmm, that I'm not sure abt that thou..hehz..
He's trying to apply for PR. Good luck dude. And I miss his chio HKG gf....:P
'Dinner' at this fast food Chicken place at 4pm...and adjourned to Jam factory to reward ourselves with a movie..hmm..'reward'? its more like punishment..hahah, besides having to spend money, the ending of the show was a big disappointment for me! Was praying during the middle of the show that that wldnt be the ending, but I was wrong. Sigh. Disppointment.
Dun worry, I wun reveal the title of the show, for the sake of my readers...
:p
Oh ya ya ya. How can I forget. If that wasnt a scam that we encountered, Jon and I will be getting a new Three LG phone on Tues!!!
While walking towards the cinema in Jam, 2 guys dressed inThree polo shirts approached us, and pitched to us this promotion of Three plan. Free $1500 credit for the 1st 3 mths, which includes all calling, sms, and internet surfing charges. On top of that, we get a free and unlocked latest LG phone for free. Which means, I get to bring it back to Sg to use durng the hols without having to pay an unlocking fee...Fabulous deal isnt it...
But of cos everything sounded extremely dodgy..in fact, it seemed like a scam..I mean, if that is true, why wld they have to spend so much efforts into persuading ppl to sign up with them? And what do they have to gain out of it? Or more importantly, will we lose anything?
All that we had to do was to fill up the form, and give them our license no, and bank acct no for security reasons.
Ok, call me a typical Singaporean or wadever. The promise of a new, unlocked fone is simply too enticing. Have always wanted to bring a new fone back to Sg and use, and it seemed as if that was the opportunity. Wanted the Sony Ericsson one, but they dun have it.
But thinking from another perspective, what can we lose out of it? They prolly cant do much with my license no I guess. And for my bank acct details, I regret giving them my DBS debit card no, but cos I cldnt rem my Commonwealth BSB and acct no, I had to give them the DBS one...But like the guy said, they can't do anything without the nos behind the debit card oso...true...
The only worry we have is that, it mgt be on a plan, and we mgt even need to pay for the fone. They mgt deceive us by saying that there is no plan at all. hm. But anyway, once we get the fone on Tues, will immediately call Three up, and clarify all matters.
Poor Jon. He got influenced by me, and eventually submitted himself to the lure of the deal as well. He was contemplating abt the whole incident the whole night! Feel so bad. We both did Consumer Behaviour, and therefore shld know how influential frens can be at the moment of purchase. But yet, we both fell for it. Oops. Mayb I shldnt be using 'fell for it' since everything is not cfmed yet. Not known if its a scam..
Hmm...like wad I told Jon, if it's really a scam, maybe we can get on Today Tonight..HAHAHA. current affairs show. re-enact the whole scene. Investigatve reporting. Hahah. only chance to be on tv...
Hahah.
Sorry. Pardon me. Am amusing myself with my silly jokes here. Hahah.
Anyway. No pt worriying abt the whole situation since we cant do anything for now. Right, Jon?
But still feel apologetic abt the whole incident.
Bleah.
Okie, back to the night. Went to Grecko after that, and ordered a slice of the 'Tempting Tam' (tim tam cake). Its a mousse cake, and I dinliek it at all. Sth sourish abt it. Jon tot it was cheese, but when we asked the waiter, he said there wasnt any cheese in it at all. But I din liek it at all. And Jon cant take it cos he's on a diet. So I got myself my all-time fav - Mars Bar cake, and finally manage to indulge myself in food.
Headed home after that, and was dead tired, considerng that I woke up at 7 in the day. Moreover, my slight headache made me fall into a dead coma almost instantenously. Hehz ;p
And that, ended my relatively productive day of shopping.
