So, today, I'd made a trip from Suntec City to Bugis to Chinatown via Dhoby Ghaut.
After a whole year, I finally figured out how easy it is to get from Dhoby Ghaut MRT/YMCA to KKnm. *head bangs* I AM SORRY HAYA. I MADE YOU WALK ALL THE WAY TO ORCHARD TO FIND KKNM, WHEN IT WAS JUST DOWN THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YMCA.
...
In other news, I'd almost got a black hard embroidered case for Sana. Almost, 'cause they'd actually placed the (beautiful) sewing case in front of a $9.90 tag, and thinking that it really was such a good steal, I carried out the below convo with a sales staff:
Me: Is the black case over there $9.90?
SS: Yes, it is.
Me: Really?! *is excited at the thought of getting such a good bargain*
SS: Yes, really.
Me: ^v^
Later, I'd gone back with my cousin (I'd forgotten to bring enough cash along today), grabbed the case, and made my way to the cashier:
Me: Is this really $9.90?? (Obviously, the price is that unbelievable - I'm talking about a hard case large enough to fit Sana, consists of several other compartments with a top opening, side opening and metal buckle closures on top and front sides.)
C: Um... How can that be? *flips box around for tag and fails to see it* Wait arh... *goes off to check*
Me: ._.
C: Uh, $9.90 is only for these two heart-shaped sewing baskets. This one is... *searches for tag*... $99.90
Me: O_O
Me: ...
Me: Ah, I see. Thank you. *walks off with cousin* DX
C (talking to another SS): Why isn't the tag promin -
It's pretty sad, really. It really was such an awesome case, and Sana would have looked pretty glamourous travelling in it. But hey, I can't afford a hundred bucks for a case at the moment. *stares at Spotlight carrier in front of me*
