did some serious retail therapy yday. omg. i was shopping like i was in HK! sinful sinful sinful!!!!

been ages since the girls and i hung out tgt on a sunday. we went to the "vintage" flea market at nassim road.. as expected, it was disappointing. flea markets in singapore jus cannot make it la. also, it realli irritates me tt ppl tend to get confused with "vintage" and "second hand". second hand might be vintage, BUT vintage does not equate to second hand!!! looking at some of the stuff the ppl were selling at the flea market yday, realli made me wanna slap them across their faces. GRANDMOTHER SLIPPERS ALSO VINTAGE?!?!! how come they haf the cheek to bring those old, torn and tattered stuff from their homes and sell to the public in broad daylight!?!?!? i seriously cannot understand.

Vintage - "obsolete fashion from the past"

read that and remember that!!! i can buy grandmother slippers from the market downstairs my house so they are not obsolete!! and i dun think they were ever in fashion ok!!!! *bangs wall* i think the flea market was this close to selling granny panties. used ones. *sigh*

after the very very disappointing trip to the flea market, we decided to go to haji lane at arab street, upon theresa's suggestion. the boutiques there haf such pretty interiors!! i fell in love with all their decor (and clothes and accessories and bags and shoes...) wa lao. we literally went crazy there. it was a sunday so many boutiques were not open. THANK GOD. all those that were open, we managed to sweep them clean!! we went into 3 to 4 boutiques (only!) and we spent abt an hour in each of them. it was serious quality shopping! think the service staff realli loved us. we bought almost everything we tried. each of us spent an average of 300 bucks, i think. tsk tsk tsk...

after that we headed down to katong, this little street called Ean Kiam Place. it has nice re-furbished shophouses.. a fusion of old school and modern singapore. i came to kno of someone who is running a 2 storey boutique at one of the shophouses there and promised to drop by last weekend, so i brought my girls and we went.

after our shopping spree at haji lane, the price of the stuff at my fren's place proved to be a bit too steep for our liking. but undeniably, the things were lovely. the dresses were so pretty and the accessories and girly girly, very us. :p still, i cudn't resist and bought some earrings and handphone charms. theresa bought a dress, some accessories and fiona jus watched. she was certainly tired from all the shopping we had the whole day.

go here to see the website of the boutique: www.thelawn.com.sg

after we were done at our last stop, we walked to the famous 328 Katong Laksa and the 3 of us had 5 bowls of laksa, 4 otahs and 1 rojak. for girls, i think we eat quite a lot. but that is wat i love abt my girls, we nv care abt the carbs and indulge ourselves in the glory of food. *yummilicious!*

must haf been the best weekend i haf had in months. figured we cudn't do this all the time else we'd all be bankrupt very soon. :p but it was fun while it lasted.

like theresa says, wat is few hundred dollars in exchange of the memories we've built spending quality time tgt. shopping. :)

PRICELESS! :D
