Shopping with no money

My bro asked earlier today if he could share my mom's birthday gift. I told him I didn't know what I was getting her yet (...her birthday is tomorrow already!) I was planning to spend my mom dinner but I failed to do so twice in a row. Mom didn't let me pay for dinner yesterday, and today mom was too tired to have a nice dinner so we just had a quick bak kut teh dinner.

So...bro, I had to resort to plan B. But.... I didn’t have a plan B. I had to lie to get out of the house. I told my parents I wanted to go out to look for dance classes so I could start next month. I went to 1U instead. I went around various places to look for my mom's favourite stuff. Mom seems to like Vincci's shoes a lot but they didn't sell gift vouchers. =( I wanted to get MNG or G2000 vouchers but my mom don't really shop in MNG and G2000's clothes are usually not to her body cutting. I wanted to buy her something from body shop, but so standard la.

The new Christine Dior perfume was on display and the sales girl sprayed some on my hands. Smells really nice! I think my mom would love it! (I like it too hehehe) But she's got 101 bottles of perfume already. I didn't know what to buy liua. Wanted to go to KLCC tomorrow to get MAC Fifth Avenue makeup voucher for her already… or just buy her a nice thick chocolate cake from Strudels.

My sis who tagged along suggested we checkout the manicure and pedicure studio. I remembered once when we went shopping together, my mom commented on a manicure and pedicure. I called Jin, my Guru, for some advice, headed to Glitterz to checkout the price and services there.

When I went in, the first thing that the lady responded was 'Ni ke yii chiang hwa yi ma?' (Can you speak in Mandrine) ???What theeee... Ok... Ke yii. .... ke yii my foot. I suck in Mandarin. I could hardly put my thoughts to words, but at last I manage to get my message across. She didn't understand what a gift voucher was so she just ended up giving me her bosses name card and ask me to make an appointment before I come. ... NEXT... this place is out.

I went to Missy Nails next to check things out. Yes, the owners speaks English! *rejoice* and yes they do sell gift voucher. She told me they kind of just implemented it too! I was in luck. I told her want I was looking for and *violah* I got my mom's SPA manicure and pedicure voucher! The rest of the story is history.

I did a little window shopping before leaving for home. I saw so many things that I liked. Wahahaha if only I had the $ to spend.

1. Seed long purse\handbag kind of bag. Comes in purple or black. DAMN NICE! But it's RM130!!! New season ma. *cries*

2. Seed work jacket. RM159. .....ahhhhhh but very nice. I might cough out that money to get it. RARRRR

3. One beige cardigan I saw. RM69. It's in the Padini concept store, in between Vincci and Padini. Nice style. I think that type of cardigan is in fashion now because I have seen similar designs in various different shops. The cardigan is worn a little over size on the top, and tight at the waist. The buttons are at the waist and warping the waist and a little of the mid drift. Then there will be a string to tie from back to front. Nice for a casual outing and also for work.

4. White long sleeve ladies work shirt with stripes as patterns in G2000. RM129. You know... back when I was in college, if I see a shirt I love like that, I wouldn't think twice. I would just buy it. But now when I'm earning my own $$$... I feel the pain.... the pain ...painnnn

Even a g-string can cost me RM40. Yohhh.

Hais..... I need a sugar daddy. .... HAHAHAHA yeah rite. I need a second job.

BC: is expensive because the diamond grade is good. You have to see the color and the diamond cut. Lower grade diamonds and yellowish. The type of cut and quality of cuts also play a big part. ...to many features to explain.
