Title : Shopping frenzy
Time : 9:52 pm
Earworm: Can I Have It Like That~~Pharrell feat. Gwen Stefani
26 nov 7.30am bus. had a lil hiccup when we couldn't find kl and thought the bus was due to depart at 7am. but come 7.30, all was well, everyone ready to go! jam at the highway before immigration. didnt get onto the north south highway til past nine. couldnt sleep much due to explosions courtesy of Pearl Harbour playing. sf slept the whole way thru tho. another case of early bird doesnt get the worm. ck and brit's bus left at 8am yet they arrived 10 mins earlier. had lunch (rather exorbitant for a mamak stall- came up to RM52 for 6 girls) behind bangsar lrt station. mel and ys staying over at my place whereas sf and yh shacked up at kl's. hit the shops in one utama at 4pm. mel was first to try an oriental looking purple coloured piece. looks nice but cutting a bit odd in the middle. kl tried on a good many embellished dresses in salabianca. found a lovely brown and green one but comes with an ugly granny overcoat that probably made the price RM100 extra. eclipse had a lot of nice dresses but none my size. ys tried on a resplendent black sequinned one but price was sky high. not much haul except for cheap 3 for RM10 earrings at tribal spirit. dinner was at chilli's bar. first time there. liked the platter. wasnt all up for the nachos though.
27 nov lot 10. pestered mel to try on the dress i liked in eclipse, just to see how it looks like on a real person, not the mannequin. turns out she loved the velvet dress. first girl to find her prom wear! saw zang toi's shop but too intimidated by designer wear to actually step inside.
sungei wang plaza. more affordable choices. tried on a dark red one shouldered top at tangs but too long for me, a bit loose although its XS. KL was next to buy, a sexy black full length gown from Seduction. she picked out a dress for me at zenza. it was deep red with thin vertical stripes and black scarf like material sewn on to the straps. wasn't over the moon about the dress tho it fits perfectly. so continued walking. lunch was at kim gary. very indulgent. rich french toasts, cheese baked rice, chicken, snow mountain, fried rice. yh bought a white one which was half price. indian princess! ys and i found ours at Feel, both black, mine was a bit plain so need more accessories to glam it up. so now we focus all our attention on sf, who eventually got a deep purple one at redrummurder. notice the palindrome in that label? yes, mission for prom dress accomplished...not quite yet.. still left with accessories and shoes galore. sf was first to get a silver pair of shoes from nose. so ends the shopping trip with kfc
28th nov yh and sf headed back to the small red dot today. kl to tired to join us. so we met up with lh, ck and brit at one utama yet again! had lunch first at dave's deli. liked my gourmet meatballs. then split up, let the guys do their own shopping for grad nite. ys found a nice pair of shoes from vincci, i fell in love with silver ones on the promotional poster in the store. too bad its sold out. tried to find similar ones but settled for a white and silver one at nose. we also stopped by the maybelline counter to buy foundation, concealer and mascara. the guys did their shopping at soda and zara. went home to have dinner.. mm.. home cooked food... had tofu, duck and fish. watched movies at night. big fish. loved it more the 2nd time watching. mel was sniffing at the end. followed with cold mountain. bloody, quite powerful movie about atrocities of war tho its also ultimately a love story. just coz movies are meant to turn out this way, inman(jude law) could survive so many gunshots and mishaps on his ardous trek to cold mountain but cant get killed anyway when reunited with Ada Monroe(nicole kidman). ruby thewes(renee zellwegger) was a right spitfire character. yes, she deserved her best supporting actress oscar for this role. rating: 3.5/5
29th nov time to go back to good ol' singapore (ha!) sorry didnt spend too much time with my sis who's having her spm.. dinner at mcd with other gals but cheekily refused to let fc know what we bought. =p
