Summer Sale!!!

Yes, I know... I'm missing the Great Singapore Sale! Shucks... But then again, I usually don't really get anything much during this sale. The stores are just trying to push off the clothes for the last season and even for the one before that. But if it's a tech sale... Oooo... Slap me crazy and call me Mamma!

Oh yes, I haven't bought anything substantial for a long time now and I do wish I had the chance to go out shopping. We Little-Red-Dottians are the world's third best recreational shoppers! In fact, the top 10 recreational shoppers in the world are Asians! Yes, we Asians are materialistic! We have nothing better to do but to shop! So yes, like any good Singaporean, I'm attracted to sales. I'm not proud to say this but I am. Acceptance is the first step to solving the problem, no?

But problem? What problem? I help to boost the economy, okay?

So it's really difficult to walk about in town and see all the 'REA' signs staring at me from the shop fronts. Sales up to 30%, 50% and even 70%!!! How crazy is that? I really want to get a pair of dark blue jeans...

But to buy one here? It's a bit crazy, don't you think? Even with the discounts and all. I have to carry that back with me and as it is, the weight limit I have for the plane isn't that much. It's only 20+10 kg. Although I did send my friends back with two sweaters and some souveniors...

The cost??? I've stopped converting the Swedish prices to Sing dollars, so... What's to stop me from buying? Shopping kakis? Perhaps. Or perhaps, I just want to wait till I'm back home again.

This morning I woke up thinking that I was back in Singapore on my own comfortable bed. I think it's because of the rain. It finally rained (properly, for hours) for the first time I've been in Sweden. The previous times were simply not rain. Just mere drizzles that lasted for a few minutes. In fact, last night's rain is still continuing now. Ah... typical monsoon weather in Singapore. I miss that. Hahaha...

But I'll be leaving in exactly one months' time. Just one more month to go.

One more month to try to see a real live moose. I heard on the radio that there's a moose lost on the roundabout at Ångstrom, where I used to be almost every single day when I first came. But now, I'm stationed more at SLU... Shucks... I missed that moose sighting. Three times... I went moose hunting three times, and not once did I get to see a moose. Now, it's lost in the city and I'm far far away from it. Oh shucks...

And oh... those back home, if you want anything from the DFS at the airport, do write me. Alcohol's out though. I've been booked solid for that already.
