member pre-sale...way to save the economy

ok time for the shopaholic in me to fly out and expose the 'deeds' i have done to boost the economy. spending is helping right???
the presale at isetan yesterday was really a sale. you can see real sale and with prices marked down even lower for members, it was a haven for bargain hunters. and ooh, do they come in droves. there were loong queues at fitting rooms and the cash registers were ringing nonstop.
only card members were allowed but you were allowed to bring your family members. phew....we had 3 cards and 4 of us (aunt, mom, quin and i).

we only left the house at 3pm. my mood was initially spoilt when aunt told me she had switched off the main power of the home pc without the proper shutting down procedure. that really sent my heart down to the dump. i quickly switched on the pc and was directed to the auto repair page and had to wait a few minutes before it went back to normal mode. all was normal again but when i switched off, the cpu refused to shut itself. there was a long twitting sound...in the end i just switched off the main thing and told myself i would check again later that night. phew...the sound did not come again. it was soo hard trying not to blow my top. who should i be angry with? that would seem so rude. in the end i just kept quiet. hate myself for that.

well, all that is over now, back to isetan. had a hard time looking for a parking space. as soon as we entered, i checked the rear view mirror and saw some one pulling the 'full' sign to stop cars from coming into the parking bay. by then i already knew it was going to be crowded. parkson grand was sooo quiet.

i managed to get all the stuff i wrote on my shopping list and some birthday presents. sharing is caring so what better way than to make others happy with small gifts.

oh, and there was this bonus of shopping yesterday. i met daniel lee (now known as danelle) in isetan itself. haha...now we know he is an isetan member. we were going down the escalator. i was in front. he was wrapping up a conversation on his phone. i just whacked out my phone and asked him if he would mind having his photo snapped with me. well, he is a really friendly and nice chap. i told him how i voted for him during his malaysian idol days and he thanked me. i futher asked him about his progress in taiwan and he said that all was going well and the album should be out soon. haha...i dun want to regret this photo op and have my brother later scold me for not having the proof. so i guess now i have the bragging right. and is he short? yes, he is shorter than me. i did bend my knees slightly.

din realise we are so colour compatible. haha...love this photo. he din put up any air. in fact, we took the photo twice since the first one was really blurry. quin took it for us.

we had not started shopping when we met daniel, so the real 'work' only started later and gosh....our hands could break. bought facial stuff, clothes, jewellery, watch, bag, bread, supermarket stuff, toiletry, and books. no shoes this time....almost got a pair of clarks pump but the last pair was really in bad condition.

that purple cabin size trolley bag really came in handy. the bag was full inside. 70% off for member from united colors of benetton.

these are the bags inside the trolley bag.

the stuff we got from isetan supermarket. all junk food?? all MINE!!!!

as for facial stuff, as usual, u get rm10 cash voucher for every rm100 you spend. so we got a fair bit of vouchers which i had finished using as well. aunt also got her stuff and i helped yee too....not all are mine ah. i also got something for mom. oh, which reminds me....better calculate the bill with my siblings later. hahaha...

yee's watch. i hope she likes it. i cannot find a longer face one....there is one similar to mine, but i dun think she wants one sooo similar.

jewellery from fossil. 60% discount for members. worth it lah.

yeah...i have finally found a peace charm. where am i going to hang it? maybe on my thomas sabo's leather bracelet.

two cotton dresses.

my bag of books. notice that all have the 20% discount stickers. i din realise that until i was taking off all the stickers just now. the most expensive is paulo coelho's. just can't resist it. retail at rm69.90. why are books so damn expensive???? i think the total bill came up to around rm202.

and this is cute beanie, looking at me unpacking. he loves observing us.

we reached home at around 11.30 pm. oh what a night. but alex's sms cheered me up.

i started messaging all good teachers i know after midnight wishing them a happy teacher's day. i even got a few replies. gosh, those teachers really do stay up late. if only they get a day of rest from teaching to celebrate the day. i think it is the best present ever.
