it’s a rainy day, luckily i was spared of heavy downpour when i went out in the afternoon. met my butterfly pal, CP for a cup of tea at Bugis. we went to Terra, i had an iced honey-lime green tea, not too bad. after a chat, i went in search for two gift items. my dear students from LEO Club are going to hand over their duties soon, to the new committee. i have these two girls who have been working with me quite closely this while, & i thought i should give them something as a form of appreciation. well, i was pretty lucky today, without much efforts, i managed to buy two cute beanies which are paper holders. hope they will like it.
CP left soon after, for his photoshoot at Sheares Bridge, so i went shopping alone. in the end, i bought a few pieces of clothes, workwear & casual & also a bag. oh no, i’m gonna eat grass for the next few weeks! don’t know why but i seem to have a way with sales assistants. there was once when i went lee wah, the lady was so kind enough to help me paint my nails (i was looking at nail colours), helped me remove the colors, specially opened a new bottle & diluted the polish for me to try & gave me a free gift. not that i was a big spender, but i was quite chatty that day. hee, it pays to be more friendly. today at Double Index, the three sales assistants offered to help me pack my stuff together. i was carrying a few smaller bags… then when i bought a bag at Little Match Girl & found the strap a little too long, the salesgirl went to Domanchi & asked to help me punch an additional hole in the strap. i feel so pampered! keke… anyway, hope the clothes will be ironed in time for new release next week for my birthday! lolx
btw, there was a kitten today that kept pacing up and down the corridor outside my home. for almost an hour, it was trying to sneak in. i took a pic of it before my camera battery runs flat, thought it was pretty cute, like the anne geddes pics. haha… see for yourself!
am suffering from a headache now, been there since i returned home just now. it was made worse but all that sewing. i was trying to add some stitches to my clothes and sew a press stud on one of the blouse. my mom used to be the one who does the alteration because she’s a good seamstress, but i decided to take over since she hasn’t been in the pink of health recently. she said it was a job well done, that is the best compliment i can ever get! hehe, so happy. what a sense of satisfaction.
