scents and cents-abilities
The other evening, we went for a spot of shopping at Taka cos they were having their annual (semi-annual?) sale for their cardholders and with my first paycheck, I decided to treat the lovely husband to a bottle of perfume cos his Polo Black was running out. I also wanted to get my dad a belated birthday present. The promoter was such a lovely boy (albeit, with too much foundation) that I nearly bought more than I should! His offers were sorely tempting and I nearly succumbed but Shah managed to snap me out of it :P So in all, I got giftsets of Euphoria Blossom for me, Euphoria Men for him and Davidoff Hot Water for my dad. In a twist of awesomeness, my pretty lil promoter boy gave me a free 50ml bottle (not vial ok!!) of Eternity Moment and another giftset of Joop! Go for him. Awesome or what! We love you Afid! 15 minutes at the Calvin Klein counter and almost $400 gone! Bah!
After perfumes, I wanted to get some new lingerie for myself cos God knows I need new ones! But GAWD... since when did bras cost more than $50???!!! Maybe it's just me and my auntie tendencies but $190 for a bra???! Nothankyou. In the end, I found some cheaper ones but the damn promoter kept handing over E and F cup bras to me. HELLO?!! Do these things look like jugs and papayas to you?! Urgh. So in the end I didn't get any although I did get new shoes. My other body parts need support too :P
After that, I decided I was too tired so as we made our way back to the carpark, we spotted a paunchy, balding middle-aged man carrying an LV Neverfull on his shoulders. He looked like he was looking for someone and when the hub and me saw him, we both burst out laughing. He looked so ridiculous!!!! I for one, don't believe in men carrying my handbags for me. Heavy luggage and shopping bags yes but my own purse, I'll keep it on my own shoulders thanks. Don't give me that crap about chivalry and gentlemanly manners cos it's not. Those can be shown by other ways like opening the door, letting her have the umbrella, offerring your jacket etc. CARRYING A WOMAN'S HANDBAG IS NOT! YOU ARE JUST A SISSY. A WIMP. A CREAM PUFF. YOU DESERVE TO GET YOUR DICK CUT OFF. And girls who ask their men to carry their bags for them, how could you be so cruel to your partner as to emasculate him that way? How heavy is your bag? How fragile are your wrists and shoulders? Don't be so pathetic and spineless can?! Oh wait, if you're such a helpless weakling and he's such a pussy, you 2 wretched feeble little creatures probably deserve each other.... *eyeroll*
Ok no more bashing. To something happy yes? My cousin's wedding is in 4 months time and I am excited! Our accommodation at the wedding reception has been booked and I'm so looking forward to spending the long weekend with my paternal cousins! Wheee! Now, to get my ass to Arab Street and start shopping for our outfits!
