Bought alot of X'mas present

This morning, I woke up at 8am. Some of you who knows I work in the afternoon shift will wonder how come I wake up so early in the morning right? Cos I need time to prepare myself to go out.

When I had finish preparing myself, it's already 9.30am. I then went out of my house and take a bus. I miss my stop at the commonwealth MRT and had to walk all the way to Queenstown MRT to catch a train. When I reach Tiong Bahru, it's already 10.30am. I then went to the 7-11 store to print some of the pictures from my handphone cos I don't want it to take up so much space in my handphone. After that I went up to buy myself a new wallet. I regret buying the wrong size as I could fit everything in except the money. Haiz...I then went up to the 3rd level and look at some accessories. Cos I was thinking of what to get for Vincent's present. Strange..usually for guy's present I have no problems buying for them but for Vincent's, I don't know why, it suddenly becomes so difficult cos I don't know what to get for him.

I think the sales person there do not know that I am a chinese as he keep on speaking to me in English. He then comment to his colleagues about me in chinese and I can understand each and every sentence that he comments but I just pretend that I don't know chinese. Maybe it's because I look more like Malay(cos alot of people said so)or that I look like Indonesian. He then try to stike conversations with me and ask what am I looking for and what is my budget? I then saw two things that catches my eye and ask how much is it? When he told me the price for it, I was very surprise. His colleagues then tease him and said alot of vaugarties which again I pretend that I do not know a single word. I then ask him to show me the two things that I had my eyes on and he ask who is it for? I then tell him that it is actually for my god-brother and I do not really know what type he wants. The sales person then recommand me one of the thing which he claims that it is the best seller and most guys would buy it. After some consideration, I decided to take what he recommand and was very surprise at the price!

After that when I was about to left the shop, I said,"Xie xie!"and he seems stunned that I could speak chinese. I am a chinese of course I know how to speak lah! I think maybe he feels guilty to what he said to his colleagues just now. Ai yah! Nevermind lah! I pretend that I never hear anything lor the most.

After that I went to "Ice Lemon Tea" and window shop for awhile as I still have some time before I start work. A bag then caught my fancy and I ask the sales person how much is it and she said it's $30++. I request her for a new bag but to my disappointment, it's the last bag they have in store and it's the latest arrival. I then bought the bag and went to "More Than Words" and buy a exchange gift for Christmas. After that I walk around for awhile before heading to take MRT to Harbour Front.

When I reach there, I realize that I got there too early and again I went to More Than Words and buy a gift for Ya Cin as she buy me a christmas gift. Then I walk around for awhile and bought myself a new handphone casing before I report to work. I like the colour very much. I then request the person to help me to change my casing. After changing, my immediate reaction was,"Wah! Ah lian handphone?!" Cos after she change, I feel that my handphone looks very "stylo"(meaning "cool" in proper English). When I reach work, Esther look at me in surprise and said,"Wah! Go shopping ah?" I then said,"Ya" and put my things down and went to pack counter. When Ya Cin arrive, I gave her the christmas present and she said,"Ai yo! I told you not to buy for me already!"She said thanks and took the gift away. Esther then ask what I bought for Vincent and I showed it to her and ask her to guess the price. When she couldn't guess and when I told her the price, she graps. I showed her a bag that I bought from Ice Lemon Tea and she comment something that made me feel very embaress. She said,"Eh? That bag looks very familiar. Orh! I remembered! The material is the same as Vincent's sling bag!" I then look at her with my eyes wide and look at the bag. I didn't notice that the material of the bag is the same as Vincent's. Ai yo! Malu! I was actually thinking of using it for church service as my bags couldn't fit in my notebook. Now since she said that, I dare not bring the bag to church le. Haiz..cos the other time I wear a t-shirt that is almost the same colour as his and he ask me to sit further away from him. I was a bit sad by that but I keep quiet cos I think he didn't mean it.

After that while I work, I keep thinking since I had to use that bag, the most I avoid Vincent lor. Cos I know what will be his reaction if he sees the bag. I don't want and I hate misunderstandings. It only fustruates me. I feel very heartache later cos I feel that I had spent too much money today. Haiz..Esther then remind me about the K-box outing we will have on the 24th and make sure I will set aside some money. I was thinking of fasting for maybe 3 weeks? Just to save the money. Erm...I will not really fast. But maybe I will just drink plain water the whole day without eating anything that's all.
