Today, as usual, mum thought of a way to escape chores -- SHOPPING~! And where to spend some quality time to shop til drop? MIDVALLEY!...
It's always been hectic trying to find a parking lot at midvalley (often drives me totally mad!), but today there's plenty of space around. Mum even took her own sweet time choosing the "safest" lot. *chuckles*
With our stomach grumbling, we went for brunch at Jade's Palace. Mum's treat, of course. I ordered rice with roast pork. Yummy, SATURATED FAT! In the end, we had a wee bit too much of the spring onion dipping that we could hardly finish our bowl of rice.
After which, we walked past shops without the slightest intention to buy anything at all. Promoters stood motionless as we walked by. Somehow I wondered what I'd look like them if I were in their shoes. Hah~! Fat chance.
Somehow the act of buying miraculously commenced when we walked into "LABELZ". Mum had me trying on almost all of the dresses in the shop. When I looked myself in the mirror, I was like " Oh my gosh! I'm bloating up like a balloon. " And I blame the culprit -- saturated fat.
After some very painstakingly troublesome moments in the fitting room, we managed to buy four of which most suitable for both me and sis to share. It costed us RM196 in total (a fair price, I must say). Frankly I'm the indecisive and faltering type of shopper who's often gonna end up empty-handed, so I may need some "professional" advice, like Mum's. However, the buying didn't cease there.
Moments later, we went into THE FACE SHOP and ended up spending RM 288 on cosmetic stuff. No wonder dad's always nagging about his theory of "Women are spend thrifts" & "Women's munny is the easiest fast earning-money". Due to too much professional advice, we ended up buying 2 mascara, 2 eyeliner, 2 eyeshadow, 1 nail polish and 2 dunno wart hydrafresh spray. According to the salesperson, "The spray maintains your face at around 15 degree and locks in the moisture within...." I don't know about you, but it seems to me that it's another one of those products that doesn't have appealing effects. What's more, it's also on promotion, so I figured that's the reason why mum bought 2 of it. Well, another reason is that with a purchase of over RM250, there are free gifts. In the end, not only we got the stuff that we bought, there's also a set of almond-scented candles, 2 boxes of tissues, a mug, as well as a diary and a desktop calendar of a certain Korean artist.
WORLD OF PUZZLES is just around the corner. Luckily I stopped mum before she spent another RM140 for a box of 1000 pieces jingsaw puzzle of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (Though frankly I like that puzzle as well)
