elbow workout
it's raining super heavily today, and all the cats, save for Bailey, is home. Shasha came running home as soon as it began to pour and is within the sanctuary that is the parents' room. Poor Montello is upstairs hiding under my bed - he is especially afraid of the lightning and thunder. the younger sisters are going to play in the rain.
anyway, yesterday didi managed to convince mama to take us shopping (as if she needs much convincing to do that) because there was a sale at isetan, and it was a good thing we did go yesterday rather than today cos it was the last day of that particular sale. truthfully it had been the longest time since i had to actually jostle against other women and their tactics of bringing smelly, noisy, restless children (what with their people repelling radius), and it was quite a workout. everyone was all eagle eyed and fast hands, it was like playing uno, snap, speed or something. clothes-wise, we didnt find anything in particular but everyone was going especially crazy in the lingerie section. i mean, how can something that normally costs $48.90 go down to $8.60?! or even as low as $1.50?! (are child labourers all getting a pay cut?) how much are we being cheated of on normal days then?
also for the first time in my life, did i witness someone breaking something in the cups/glass/crystal section, and luckily it wasnt me. it was this guy, and he broke some glass cups, and i sure wouldnt want to have been at the end of his wife's withering look.
unrelated, but i love this song:
