Toking bt nails .... =D Just did it on fri @ De Nails, Rochor Centre. Nice hor? Not very ex somemore.

But oh well, the appearances are good can le! bwhahha....

    The reason why I blogged is cuz I went shopping today! W major damages! Bought a pair of pants and 2 skirts for S$90, 2 pairs of leggings for S$20, a pair of shoes for S$10, 2 books for S$16. Total S$136, bwhahha Happiness.... My fren said I spent S$136 within 4 hours then I was thinking do I even make this amount of money at this rate? lol.... Nm la...

    Old house pics

    Today marks the day when I finally clear everything from my old house's room! Bwhahhahaha...
    Anyway pics of old house.
     
    Living Room
     
    Study room
     
    Dining room (or wats of it after mum turn it into storeroom) 
     
    Actual storeroom
     
    MBR
     
    My bedroom (I used to like blue =p)
     
    Bros's bedrm (not bad, e photos made their room look quite big haha)
     
    Kitchen
     
    Service balcony
     
    My old house has a floor area of 140 m sq. New house is 1238 sq ft.
     
    Have always ask mum to shift to smaller house so yeap objective made! hahah....
     
    Abit sianz abt the smaller house and felt quite uncomfy at first but today I was cleaning my room. Guess what? I just go to my rm once and its done! hahah.... Old house wan require 2 trips between bathrm and bedrm b4 its clean =D Shiok! means I can spend less time cleaning the house lo! Woosh! (Tho I seldom clean now la hhahhaha....)
    2nd reason for wanting to move to smaller house: Last time back in Eunos, I pick up phone and yell for mum then mum will come out. In Serangoon old house, I pick up phone, I need to walk to her bedrm and ask her pick up phone. Now? I still gotta walk to her to get her pick up phone. Cuz uncommon strong winds making alot of noise and blowing things left right up down, so we tend to close doors. Nm. winds will die down soon and I can soon yell for mum to pick up phone. bwhahhah....

    New house part 13 - TV has arrived!

    New house part 12 - Still no tv!

    Today we waited and waited and waited but the TV still didnt arrive. I called at 3pm, 4.30pm, Courts salesman called at 5.30pm, then i called again at 6.45pm. Outcome still no TV. So at 7.25pm I called salesman again and he never picked up or return call!
     
    So after dinner, we went down lo. Then when we reach, I saw this guy look vaguely familiar and he shows some sign of recognition but he didnt come forward. So we asked someone where is that salesman la. Then he came forward -_-" Along with some Sony promoters to erm... back up his story? give him morale support? Then he say a temp staff handle la; then they fire him le la; then say systems screw up la; got old n new systems that cannot interact la. Lol... super no skill in explaining. As my driving instructor used to say in Hokkein, 理由多过肉油. Then I asked,"When can deliver?" He still continue explaining. Haha... Dense guy... Maybe I look too sleepy so he bo hue my hint that we should focus on delivery date. So he finally said they will deliver tml after 3pm and try to get Sony to come on Wed.
     
    Suddenly, my mother's phone rang! Its the guy from Sony calling to confirm the date and time of installation. *roll eyes* How 巧 is that right? Sony guy decides to call on a Sat at 8pm to confirm date and time of installation? hahah My guess is they sms another guy to call us. Cuz my mother's hp dun hav caller ID then when I ask 1 of the Sony promoters for that Sony guy's number, they immediately said it off their tongue w/o looking at hp phonebook. Lol..... Their "show" alot of loopholes hor? Nm. lets await tml's arrival of tv! hahah... Morale of the story: Always pay minimum amount of deposit.
     
    During the waiting of tv, I shifted some clothes over and start hanging them in my wardrobe.... =D oh and cleaned the new bedframe and the exteriors of my wardrobe =p

    Pink bedsheets finally!

    Received a S$4299 credit card bill, so what better way to relieve the shock than by having retail therapy? =D
     
    Went Orchard: Paragon Metro -> John Little -> OG -> John Little. Bought:
    - a smart casual top from G2000. It has abit of orange on it. If I cant find a yellow top for CNY, this shall be e replacement. =p
    - a long sleeve formal striped shirt. Dun have such a top in my cupboard so buy lo in case I need to go interview or something =D
    - Pink bedsheets from OG! And its only S$15.90! bwhahah... Had such a hard time finding them. First there are very few pink bedsheets ard and the only one I like is this Sin-something that cost S$50 after discount. Was so tempted to get that liao.. when I chance upon this cheap one =D happy.
    - 4 sets of bra. Fren asked why I buy so many. I told her its demoralising to try on bras; similar theory to pants so should keep it to a seldom-occur event =p
    - ZA night cream
     
    Yeap that ends my shopping spree. Think total to around S$120. Shiok.... so many items hahah
     
    I am all ready to move into new house lo! Hahaha everything bought.
     
    For CNY, I still want a yellow top, brown pants, pencil skirt, jeans? lol.... Got big wardrobe now. Must utilise hahah....
