au revoir


its never easy to say goodbye
you think you would get used to it
but it never happens
its still as tough as the first time was


spent the afternoon with agnes yesterday. just as i expected, we went shopping. she needed to get a couple of last minute stuff[its ALWAYS happens:)]


first stop - orchard strip
shopped around. outstayed our welcome at SaSa. you know..the place that sells a million kinds of perfumes and comestics. agnes was deliberating over which one to splurge on while i was erm..just having fun getting whoozy on all the testers:) i splurged at mango..getting another pair of city shorts/high class berms. well..i just need to find the right pair of shoes now and i can show it off:) hush puppies hurry up and have your 20% discount sales!


walked over to taka cos agnes had a craving for bubble tea. she gave me the wrong order and ended up with red bean milk tea! and that girl hates red bean. after a couple of unsatisfying sips she decided to buy a cup:) the most wasted purchase of the day. not to mention that the bubble tea was extremely overpriced.


took the underpass to lucky plaza for perfume shopping. at the first shop, agnes wanted to finally buy 1 of the 2 perfumes she has been eyeing for the longest time. but somehow, the shop owner managed to convince her to try another one. after some hardsell persuasion and 'honestly they smell the same to me' from me, she bought that one! like i was telling her, its impulse buying at its best:) anyways..she left the shop happy and on to the 2nd shop. they were selling really small bottles of perfumes. and agnes told me she would pay for me, and who would refuse such a good offer? so i got my 1st tiny bottle of eau de parfum. and now for the opportunity to use it.


*its sums up so far that yesterday was some sort of a initiation into the glam of perfume for me:)


jane: jie jie, you corrupt me you know
agnes: eh..i EDUCATE you ok


over to paragon for more shopping. [thats usually what you get when you put both of us together:)] almost went to 'do our eyebrows' but i was a little hesistant. not prepared lah..roamed around. drooling over the pretty notebooks at prints and checking out the crumpler store. realised we were running late so we left the too-expensive-for-me-to-buy-anything shopping centre.


2nd stop - bishan j8
for more essential stuff. we got a little swayed most of the time though. agnes couldnt find leather cleaner to clean her precious 60 euros wallet. and she needed to shop at ntuc.


but before that we decided to indulge in a little bimbo-tism - buying loads of colourful hair rubblerbands. and there were these 2 pl girls who OBVIOUSLY recognised me as a past relief teacher. they could have at least been more discreet about the staring and whispering to discuss if i was really the one they thought i was. hmmph. anyways..i bought one of those super duper thick hairbands. in white somemore. now i just have to start growing enough skin to wear it to school:)


final place for the day was ntuc. agnes was just dumping all kinds of seasonings and instant sauces into the basket. imagine all the MSG in there. and still no yield in the hunt for the leather cleaner.


left for home after that. and agnes suddenly had a panic attck cos she realised that her departure was sooooo soon. rushed home and from then it was a mad rush to eat, shower, pack and repack that suitcase for her. that bag was so overweight..


and then it was off to the airport and she flew off. a year this time.
