A Cover for my Pad

My expenses for my new toy should be burning a hole in my pocket. But since it's my birthday week, someone got me a cover for my iPad. Thank you Evelyn Koh and Hakimbo Hakim.

Born Day Shopping-Spree

Pay just in and the overtime pay is tremendous. All other expenses have been cleared and and there's plenty of leftovers. So it's best I'll splurge and pamper myself for my birthday since I'm not overseas(desperate enough to go KL but expenses calculation doesn't justify whatever that I intended to do).

The first day of celebration was a tremendous splurge. I've gotten myself 2 new books.My book reading were slow due to completing a game. Now that I completed the game and another book, I got this to broaden the knowledge.

On top of the books purchase, I've also bought a present for a friend. It did cost a bomb but thank goodness there was a discount, thanks to his friend. 

Besides the books and the present, I've also bought somethings online. A Beats by Dr. Dre earphone. Make that 2, one for me and the other as a belated birthday present for another friend. Will definitely post again once they arrived.

So those were physical spending. I did some pampering too. A haircut/hair treatment at Icon by Shunji Matsuo and spa treatment at Healing Touch.

In all, I did spend A LOT. But thank goodness the ERS money is coming in next week.

Just Can't Help It

As per subject, I just can't help it. I just got to have it. Like last year, I just have to treat myself.

iPad birthday present from myself

It's way too much to ask someone for an iPad for my birthday. Just like last year, it's way too costly for someone to get me an iPhone. So for past 2 years, I treated myself with my own birthday presents. It got some people asking me what I want for my birthday. Go figure.

An I'm just damn happy.

No More Excuses

I've been excusing myself from my running routine because my favorite running shorts was torn. I have no idea how that happened, seriously. Even when I tried using my brothers shorts or the army shorts, it just doesn't feel right. I know that's an excuse but I still managed a weekly run unlike my 3-4 times a week run.

And with my Remedial Training commenced, I'll definitely need a nice looking (not flabby and limited workout clothes). Hence I managed to get this off the rack from Royal Sporting House, thanks to someone whose enjoying working with the company.

Late Night Delivery

I was shocked when I received an SMS regarding my latest online purchase. The "seller" asked whether she could send my order at around 10.30pm, a day after transaction. I purchased something over GMarket after numerous satisfying purchases. All of them were overseas yet the latest is local, living 20 minutes away. But the product is good. Too good to be true for 80% off the original price. But I took my chances and purchased.

The package sent by hand

  



After examining it closely, the material is good and comfortable, and it's a nice fit (thank goodness) BUT i found the defect. The inner signature strips were stitched on off-centered as per last picture above. No one will notice since it's inside. Yet another satisfying purchase.

Compromised Shopping

After a Saturday morning meeting (YES!!! Who the hell does a meeting on Saturdays?!), I planned to go Orchard to do a little shopping to ease off some deprivation. I told myself that I'll just come for the meeting only but NO!!! There's so much to follow-up after. From a planned 12pm exit, I left at 3pm. So I pleased myself to enjoy my shopping BUT it was pouring heavily. Hence I compromised my Orchard shopping to Tampines shopping. After an unsatisfying read (I'm so not into human geography but telling myself to complete it even though it has been 3 weeks I've yet to complete) at Starbucks till around 4.30pm, I went up Tampines Mall to browse.

The first that I managed to grab is a book at Popular. A follow-up of The Secret at 40% off the original price. Yay!!! What a bargain, thanks to my numerous membership applications over the past few months.

Next up at Isetan, I needed some necessities and I got myself an undershirt for my uniform (I'm not liking my workplace more and more as I typed). It may be pricy but through experience it is a good fit and comfortable.

I should still go out to Orchard for some worthwhile shopping. I'm still searching for some necessities and it won't hurt to browse. Let's hope tomorrow I'm up for that.

March shopping

It has been quite some time since I last shop. Bravo... And it's been ages since I got my last game. Intended for Final Fantasy XIII but ended getting something else.

Got me Dragon Age 2 and another shop membership. So much membership card in my wallet but if it's worth the deal, why not.
