Sotong's Out-of-Control Spending Spree 3

On the same day that we bought the uSqueeze, we also decided that we needed a new computer table.

My brother swiped $1143 at Ikea.

Still got credit left in my card or not?

Sotong's Out-of-Control Spending Spree 2

We decided we should get the uSqueeze for our mother. Called up the AMK Hub branch, but they were unable to give us the same price as offered by the Suntec roadshow. So lousy! So my father took my sister to Suntec to get it. She came back by cab as the huge box couldn't fit on the bike. Somehow, the delivery offered yesterday wasn't valid anymore :\

$648 down.

Sotong's Out-of-Control Spending Spree 1

CNY coming but no new clothes! Actually got lah, I bought 1 for my DnD, but worn before already mah, not counted! And I also have a $10 Ben & Jerry's voucher to spend. Last day already, as usual. In view of the expiring voucher, it's destination Suntec City. Then it would be ramen dinner at Gallery Hotel's Miharu and hop across the road to CornerStone for drinks using my sisters' free stored value card. And if time permits, CNY street market at Chinatown?

First stop was a budget lunch at the foodcourt. Char kuay teow, haven't had for a long time! But my brother asked for prawns instead of hum :\ The beef noodles I had last time seemed to be gone. What a pity, it was nice.

After lunch, we took the lift to level one. Right outside was a boutique Fond and the clothes caught our eyes. Price was affordable too, so in we went. Don't know why, but the sized there looked rather big. The S was like L. We decided on 2 tops. I couldn't resist getting a pair of earrings from there. Afterall, it has been like, 1yr+ since the last time I bought earrings! The hooks were of dubious material, but fear not, I still have plenty of Firemountain silver!
First stop only, and we have busted almost $100 :O

The lunch has already gone further down our GI tract, so it's time for a snack. We looked at where the Ben & Jerry's was supposed to be, and it has become some cafe selling soup! OMG! Closed down liao! It didn't make sense to go to Raffles City to spend a free voucher, so we forgo it. Sad.

Passed by an accessories shop. 20% discount for 2 items, 35% discount for 3 items and 50% discount for 4 items and above. The things are not cheap to start with, easily costing at least $15 for the simplest pair of earrings. I only found 2 pairs of earrings that I liked. My sister found a bear necklace. The sales assistant went through great lengths to convince us that by getting something like a camisole top, with the 50% discount, we would be paying the same sum for 4 items instead of 3. We were taken in and took a brooch and ended up paying almost $50. Only then we realized that the sales assistant meant it when he said "IF you buy a spaghetti top..."
No, I'm not going to show you the clothes and accessories I bought, lest you copy me!

Went to get our caffeine fix from the Starbucks outside Carrefour. Saw Chen Shucheng walk pass quickly. Nobody bothered him. Well-behaved Singaporeans.

Next, a spin in Carrefour since we wouldn't be anywhere near a supermarket after dinner. We stopped by OTO to take a look at the OTO Power Foot. Then we went down to the food level and saw this amazing $88 promotion for Lipton tea because it's in a metal tin.

Ok, we actually do know it's meant for the hamper.

Went to Guardian to buy my Avene Very High Protection Emulsion 50+SPF 50ml. There was a promotion pack with Thermal Water Spray 50ml, Cleanance soapless gel cleanser 25ml, all for $39.90. Considering that the sunblock itself cost about $33, it's quite a good deal.

Passed by The Face Shop. I just had to get a new bottle of nail polish since the last bottle I got 2yrs ago was drying up. Left the shop with a pink tint glitter, in the nick of time as my sister had no more fingers left to test.

Ok time for dinner. Passed by Suntec's gift counter. We could redeem angpow packet and paper bag for every $88 spent. There was no queue so we decided to get them. When we went to level 1, we saw the Osim roadshow and stopped to look at the uSqueeze. My sister tested it out while my brother and I waited for her by looking at the Singapore Mint roadshow. After she was done, we decided there was no point in going down to Miharu already ^_^;; So we went back up to OTO to compare the 2 leg massagers. Then back to Osim again. Must have given the sales assistants plenty of hope eh. Osim's sales assistant offered delivery to our home as she lived quite near us. If we bought OTO, we can have the Everyday credit card rebate. Hmm...

Dinner first. Sizzler as usual. Check it out! No queue on a Saturday evening! Wa recession really bad huh. Please don't order the lamb shank. There's not enough gravy and the meat is dry. By the time the meat was torn off the bone, all the gravy has been soaked up. Had to eat with tomato ketchup.

By the time we were done with dinner, we had decided to get the Osim uSqueeze. But it's 10pm, the roadshow 收档 already lor! Too bad, went shopping at Carrefour. Saw organic toilet roll going for $1+ per roll. Waaa siao lor, must wipe and fold, fold until very very small square then can throw!

When Carrefour made the closing announcement, we knew it's time to go home. No queue at the taxi stand! Got queue of cabs! And idle cabs circling the Fountain of Fortune like they need it! :O Took the Toyota Wish for the first time. A bit higher than usual, but the seats were comfortable. The 35% surchage was over by 8pm, but I forgot about the $3 CBD surcharge applicable till midnight :\ Painnnn....

So if we had gone to Miharu... :O

Unskinned Melon

This unskinned melon was bought from TradeHub. How to eat like that? Apples, guava still can, but MELON??? I like to eat mess-free (exception granted for exceptional items), this one totally cannot make it!

To prevent juice from getting on my hands and face, I had to bite off the skin when I'm done with the fruit on it. So troublesome. Will never buy fruits from there again.
