The Fuss is Over

Well, the fuss is over. I finally gotten what I wanted when H&M first opened. They featured in their catalogue but it was not on sale. 3 weeks later,  I am one happy soul. I accomplished my H&M shopping needs.

Time to concentrate on my getaway savings.

H&M Singapore

Firstly, I'm both happy and unhappy that Singapore opened up H&M. I'm happy because now that great clothes are easily accessible and I'm unhappy because this clothes will no longer be unique in Singapore. After my first visit to H&M in Japan and several boutiques in Hong Kong, I've been fascinated with their unique clothing variety and the affordable prices. I've bought several clothes which is rare in Singapore. Now, it'll just be a common thing.

With the grand opening at Orchard Building on 3 September 2011, the place will surely be crowded. I had a family event the whole day and decided to go when I'm done. I reached the place 2 hours before closure and the place is not that hectic as I would predict it'll be in the day. The queue was moving and the interior was spacious enough for the crowd. The concept of the store is similar to most of the stores I've been to especially at Shinjuku, Harajuku and Mongkok. The variety are definately unique from common shops but sadly it'll join the ranks of the common shops sooner.

I've managed to get a shirt and a cardigan at an affordable price.

But my main intentions were the boot feature on its' H&M Singapore online catalogue on both website and apps. That was the whole reason for me to visit the store. I saw the boots on the mannequins but could not find it on the shelves. I've asked the people around and was told that it was past seasoned and is not for sale. They freaking place it on the online catalogue with the price and now they're telling me it's not for sale. I was surely pissed and I provided the feedback when I got home. Such a disappointment.
The un-accomplised purchase
I stomped out of H&M in disappointment but had to wait for my dear sister who was happily enjoying herself in the store and uncontactable. So I headed to Planerds and got myself a book just to please myself from the disappointment.
I have several books that I bought but have not started reading. I was told it was a good book and found this manga version at Planerds. This would surely be a fast read so I continue on to my other numerous volume of books that were purchased recently. Most likely, I'm going to get more books.
