Super Shopping Day

My last entry was yesterday documenting the many things that i bot. today Jovy and I went to 七浦路, a place selling everything that a woman needs. From bags to shoes to accessories to clothes to nail polish and even to fake eyelashes, you name it and they have it! amazing place with clothes that are cheaper than taiwan and hongkong (though Jovy said that Bangkok clothes cheaper). not as fashionable as taiwan and hongkong but there are good buys there. got nice dress and demin skirt and shorts. nice tee and bags. bot one bag, the basket kind. (reminds me of the pinic basket that my cg frenz and I was toking about) but its very fashionable now in China, Taiwan and HongKong cos its summer.. I bot one in HongKong last year. but haven use it since it broke even though my mum has mended it.. haha.. anyway i have decided to carry the two basket bags for all the wkends in August.. hee...
bot a lot of clothes (got one dress!), 4 toiletries bag, 13 small pouch and a few accessories.. the accessories are cheaper than buying online.. the desgin is the same! I really think that i should buy and sell online. online sgd12 - sgd18 oso got people buy.. hee.. amazing place. last year i did not notice that there are so many stores
selling accessories! I wonder if i have the time to go there and stock up on the accessories on the last day in Shanghai. hee. I even bot a tripod! for my camera.. wanted to buy a hello kitty pouch for the camera but no money to buy le. heh. very very shiok.. but after counting realise that i spend a lot in a day. heh.
btw I also got a new handphone.. heh.. Nokia E61i ... my mum helped me buy in Singapore. heh. cos she has sgd100 starhub voucher. so the hp cost sgd288 after using the voucher. heh.. another major expenditure in the money of July. heh.
Thank God got pay increment (even though I duno how much, but the letter is ready for collection in sg le). hehe..

Great shopping Day!

Yesterday we had a nice Italian dinner at an Italian restaurant, Isola Bella (think it means beautiful island).

Woke up at 12.17pm today and went for lunch with my colleague, Jestee who shared room with me. went to McDonald's near the hotel. the food was not nice at all. standard is low. wonder if Mac conducts checks to ensure the quality of the food. outside Mac there were two stores selling dvds. quite good shows. even got the Taiwan variety show, 康熙来了 and 女人我最大! haha.. then on the road back to the hotel there was a roadside stall selling necklaces and earrings! v nice and not expensive. i bot 4 and a half pairs of earrings and two necklace all for sgd19! cheap or not? hahahaha.. i think i can buy the earrings and sell online.. should have people who would want to buy. see some of the photos below.



However, the weather was very hot and as i kept squatting down and standing up at the roadside store, i started to feel a bit uncomfortable after leaving the roadside store and entering an indoor beverage counter. Squatted down to let my blood go to my brain cos i felt the blacking out feeling. Afraid that i wud faint in the shop. thank God i felt better after squatting down for a while. :)
left the shop and went back to the hotel. must be too hot. the heat is quite unbearable. At night after dinner, when to watson and spent another bomb there. Bot 4 cute magnet stuff toy animal for sgd1 each at another roadside stall. the stuff toy looks like the NICI toys that you can find in gift shops in sg. v cheap and cute. then when to the roadside stalls nears the hotel. found one that sells books. got Harry Porter and the Deathly Hollows (English) there. Finally found Harry Porter and the Order of the Phoenix! bot it for sgd4. its a fake la.. but the prints are fine and clear. hee. cos i dun want to keep so no point buying the real one. i just want to read the story and give it to another person to read. haha. i oso bot 美容大王 by 大S. the first book cos i ored have the second one. only for sgd 2! even cheaper than a magazine! omg. so cheap. hee. v happy that i bot so many things today. tml (later la. cos now ored 3 am) gg to 七浦路 shop again! hee.

Handphone expense

I bought a pre-paid card for use when I was in Xiamen for the past two weeks. Hence, i did not buy a new one when i came to Shanghai. Using a Xiamen pre-paid card in Shanghai means that I have to pay for roaming within the country. Without fully understanding the telephones charges for international calls, i top up RMB 100 on tuesday night and this (thursday) morning, i received a sms saying that my balance is -RMB14.80. Gosh! I only called home on tuesday and wednesday night. about 15 of international call costs RMB100 (approx ~ SGD 20). I used about the same amount for my two weeks in Xiamen. the local roaming plus the international call is so expensive. thinking of buying another sim card but like a bit waste $ and my current number is quite nice. going to force my mom to buy the phoenix card which is so much cheaper.. Haha..
Work has been okay. quite relax. shared room with my colleague. Pre-believer! hooray! hope to know her more. :) Tomorrow is Friday!!! TGFIC ~ Thank God Friday Is Coming! :D
