shopping- successful

right so i went to kl.....and yes....i got all the things i wanted in my list. yippee! someone gave me an exclamation mark that i went to isetan with a shopping list. well, i guess age is catching up with me and i am afraid that i might forget. but another reason is of course i dun like to walk aimlessly without knowing what i drove all the way down for. that would be such a failure.

and so i reached klcc at 10 past 3. perfect. just after the lunch crowd had left isetan which i heard was like the market place during lunch especially at the women's dept.

so first thing i did was to get my cash vouchers accumulated from shopping at isetan in the first half of the year. then...shopping starts.

well, just showing some of the stuff i got for myself here. can't show what i got for my colleague for her retirement here in case it leaks out. there will be no more surprise.

so mostly cosmetics this time around. worth saving the list when you can get rm10 rebate for every rm100 spent. so got 2 lipglosses from shiseido and a compact powder. i got a free eye shadow and the 2 gift packs. i waited for the girl who serves me everytime to come back for lunch. worth waiting.

then i got a sterling silver ring from follie follie....70% discount. i paid less than rm100. i like chunky ring....if you can spot the ring admidst the layers of nice packaging they give. hahaha.

then i went to redeem my birthday gift from la mer- got a moisturising cream, moisturising lotion and hydrating infusion.

checked out the sport shoes section, but nothing caught my eye. still wondering if i should get another pair of running shoes.

nothing to see at the women's dept. the clothes were quite unappealing. i got myself a dress at parkson which was oh-so-quiet. you could count the number of customers in one level. din take the photo of the dress cause i am going to save it for chinese new year. hahaha....it is not too early to buy. just buy and that keep. that is what i normally do.

i got myself a shoulder and back massager. i saw the advert for upapahug from osim in the papers few days before this trip. since i always have stiff shoulder from hunching the back too much (well, you can't help it when you have to hold the pen and mark in this field), so this massager will be very useful. i dun need to put up special requests for some poor kids to thump or knead the shoulder now. you can even put it on your thigh and butt...so let's see some reduction in the butt man. it goes for rm699.
oh, the girl on the left? that was queen. she followed me back to tm then to bidor this morning. she almost fell asleep in that head massager thing. i tried it on too. it was very very comforting and hypnotizing with the voice and music. ppl suffering from headache, and insomniac can consider it. okok....i dun get any comission from osim.

met cousin en after that and had dinner at california pizza kitchen.

grilled sausage and pepper penne and their bbq chicken pizza....oh with three glasses of hot water. just drinking plain hot water is better for the health and wallet ;)
those servers and supervisor (maybe) were not really efficient lah. our penne came a bit hard and the waitress offered to recook it for us. so what did the kitchen do was just add in more sauce and heat that pile on our plate and return it to us! then the waitress collected our three small plates still with the hard penne (which we did not dump back on the big plate when the waitress collect it for recook) and returned with three empty new plates for us. that means, we lost a lot of pennes in our order!
then we spoke to the supervisor who had dificulty speaking in english and he switched to malay about our situation. he asked us if we wanted to replace with another order but we rejected because we were full and nauseous from the amount of sauce on the plate. then he also asked us, 'what do you want us to do?' gosh....that made us dumbfounded. we were so kind...and did not ask for the order to be delisted from the bill, we just said..err...never mind and hope it won't happen again. are we stupid or kind? they should have given us a free coffee or dessert lah.

we said goodbye to jia en at around 8 and we headed to IKEA! and a big YES!!! i got my limited edition billy bookcase- the black and white one. i really love all 3 that i saw...but the house only has place for one. and oh boy, how heavy it was. both of us could not do it without the help of a cute malay dude who was with his gf on the way to the parking machine. he kindly asked us if we needed any help while both of us were standing there wondering how we were going to carry it up from the trolley. he was indeed god sent. and yes, it fitted into the car reclining from the front seat all the way to the back with still space left. so you dun have to go with an mpv to get a billy bookcase. muahaha.

now i am just waiting for the time to assemble it. but will must wait for brother to come back. i need someone to help me lug it up all the way upstairs. it is really really HEAVY. mom, queen and i had problem getting it out from the car and one end actually dropped on the drain cover outside. ouch! there was a very slight dent on the topmost part but luckily, that was all.

i also have another headache. what am i going to do with all the chinese magazines with sammi cheng covers which i have accumulated over the year....ok...i stopped many years ago dy ok. am i still going to keep them? throwing them away is akin to throwing away money. dun ask me why i buy them in the first place. that is what fans do. there are also magazines with ruby lin xin ru on the covers....so linsiew, what am i going to do with them???? i think i will just put them in a box and might throw away some.
oh boy, that will be a lot of dust wiping waiting for me before the books can go to billy.

mail time. a postcard showing a saimaa ringed seal from finland. where can i find nice postcards in malaysia??

next- hiruscar gel...err....i think female magazine submitted my name to the company and the letter said i was one of the first 50 readers to write in. female gave me a call if they could do so. nothing to lose. so now i can apply the gel on the scars amassed from my clumsiness; a cut on the finger, a cut on the calf, a cut on the thigh, etc.

credit card points redemption- a hair dryer and cordless phone. we thought the cordlessphone at home is going haywire and it is time for a new one, but it is working fine again. what the heck. well, keeping this one for rainy days.

boy-oh-boy. i am so tired now. i had been operating like a zombie today. we only reached tm at 11p.m. yesterday and slept at 12.30a.m. then i woke up at 7a.m. because i had an in-house at bidor at 8.30. came back from bidor in the afternoon and had a class. managed to catch a nap only at 5.30 for one hour. better than nothing. phew! well, time to stop typing and sit back to watch grey's anatomy season 6.

have a good weekend.
