August post!
To think that Linda and I kept saying we would meet up/go shopping/clubbing/have a girls' night out in Singapore... and we met up in Bangkok. Was really quite =) to see this girl after such a long time... and well, Linda, this update's at your request! (Hopefully we're still in the same tutorials next semester...)
Sweet Serene came to see me off at the airport! And we just had to take a picture for Lynn when we saw the butterfly and caterpillars board... that's Lynn's Honours thesis! If there's anything I missed over the pass two weeks/missed in Bangkok, it must be seeing these girls practically every week, playing bridge, driving around in my car for dinner, taking photos!
AHHHHhhhhhh! Big rock falling on us!
That's me in my latest Zara shirt picked out from the Great Singapore Sale... and in Bangkok, I amazingly bought only ONE piece of clothing... no prizes for guessing where it's from. I probably could have bought 10 shirts with the same amount of money, but really, the fashion in Bangkok... is just, erm, not quite to my style. Same goes for the earrings, shoes, accessories... but of course, that didn't stop me from overspending and changing another 100 dollars! I normally try to buy stuff for people, and manymanymanymany things for myself. For once, I spent most of my money buying stuff for people...and it does make me feel nice - that I bought what I think is the perfect souvenir for my favourite Nanyangals (so excited that I had to send Manda an sms to tell her!), birthday presents for August babies... I knew I was paying a little too much for some things... like the sandals for Liza (which are exactly the same as the ones I have!), but seeing that it was something she really liked made the money worth it, like the bag accessories, some of which I bought twice just because I saw nicer designs at other stores, but they're what my mum wanted! My mum says I can't possibly be spending money on souvenirs for everybody each and everytime I travel, but I say, it makes the shopping a happier affair. When you own a million clothes/bags/shoes/earrings/watches/everything-you-really-need/everything-you-don't-really-need-and-don't-make-you-happy, it's time to give.
