  in fact, she just buys what's necessary 

  unlike what i overheard yesterday in the office, the people were talking about someone buying a bag.. frikken bag cost the stupid woman $1,700 and they were gushing that it's "cheap"

  to them, as long as there's a "brand" on it, no matter how hideous and how stupidly overpriced it is, they are willing radishes lining up to be chopped..

  The sad thing is that these luxury bags tend to be made in China these days. 

  Oh, and you guys saw that thread where some dude was trying to flog vuvuzelas for $40?

  I think I spoiled his market by pointing out that Amazon sells it for less than US$10.

  and best, some of the pple i know quietly go buy and keep at home, fearing their husband and boyfriend knows they really can spend...   but with the gals, it's a different story... they will relate all their extravagant shopping sprees/buys to their kakis...

  2 of my friends did those stunts and their husbands are kept in the dark...

  they dragged me go shopping and told their husband i went to cheapo market with them... wth......*keep secrets is a pain*

  Well, Zara is having a sale now.

  Went to Zara at ION and Liat Towers with the FS yesterday.... they were outright moshpits even though we went during office hours....

  ok just a reminder.

  The distance based MRT/ bus fares will be implemented tml.

  1) 5 transfers within 2 hrs minus taking e same bus sv (incl opp direction) & only 1 MRT (i.e. Take MRT from Sembawang to Yishun, change to bus 969  to Tampines and take MRT to Simei. The MRT trip to Simei will be considered a new trip).

  2) Non aircon bus ride will get 5c - 25c discount depending on distance.

  3) Express bus fare revised, now it's +60c premium from trunk service.

  4) Feeder bus fare capped at 3.2km.

  5) Parks 408 & 409, Premium, Chinatown Direct will cease to offer transfer discount.

  You will be surprise that some of my colleagues took leave to go for sale, including my cousin.

  Otherwise will be students and tai tai...

  yip, there was one, they even put up those red-rope barricade for them to line up..

  the security guards and sales staff (in suit), have to usher them in batch by batch..

  me and friends were watching them, pretty hilarious cos they pay such expensive items, yet queue-ing like buy food at foodcourt, and ..somemore outdoor queueing...

  i think some tai tais makeup and their thick face foundation gonna melt..

  i think they are fighting the replica of the bags in the market.

  A korean-made replica (AAA-grade) cost a fraction of the original cost (for a bag).

  I guess that explain the reason why LV got to resort to sales.

  I don't know..... maybe a $99.90 blouse is now worth $69.90? Not that I would ever want to pay $70 for a shirt....

  And I suppose yesterday was a moshpit because it was the first day of sale and everyone wanted to get the best clothes before they ran out of stock. 

  Haiz. Women.

  Dorothy Perkins are nice but not cheap though... however, they do have big sized clothes, so sleeve not short than the usual ones....erhem..for me..
