Retail Therapy

Yup, shopping made me happy today. Heck, it's the bargain that sealed the deal. And it's also because of the weekend. I love weekends. No work to bother you, only relaxation, peace and quiet.

Queueing for sales is not a Singaporean thing! It's amazing how international bargain hunters are. The shoe shop opens at 1000hrs, and there I was taking a slow stroll towards it just before the opening time. 100 metres away, I saw a huge crowd in front of where the store entrance is.

'WTH??? What's going on?"

As I approached, the doors opened and the crowd migrated inwards.

Oh... My... Goodness... The Swedes are also into sales! Given that the crowd is not as big as it would have been in the Little Red Dot, but it may also be due to the fact that they are offering only 10-20% discounts. Ah... We wouldn't really bother with such sale techniques.

But surprise, surprise, I found a really good deal. An Ecco shoe going for about half the original price! Granted that it's not as nice as the one I had on, it was still rather nice. But at that price, it's cheaper than what I can get back home! Whoopie! Ah... I love retail therapy.

Oh joy, I noticed yesterday that my new rosary (the one blessed by Pope JPII) has the JPII's coat of arms on the medal. Woohoo! I like.

I was watching CSI last night and there was a scene where a tape recorder was played. What came out was gibberish, to which the detective asked, "What kind of language is that? Swedish?". And the forensic scientist replied, "It's backward." lol! Ah... the intricacies of Swedish are lost on English speakers.

Oh well, wish me luck with my work, you guys. I certainly want to leave with something, with some good results. Thanks for cheering me on! I will 加油!
