I literally did nothing today again, other than my Catholic News crossword puzzle, playing expert level of sudoku on my phone, checking emails again and again, and trying to run my standards for the third time!
My intern friends and I (in fact, only 4 of us), went to Ion Orchard to have dinner. There's this restaurant called Canton-i, that is having a promotion! It's their first year anniversary and they are selling Soya Sauce Chicken for only $1 if you pay by POSB card. No criteria! The only one is that you need a minimum of 3 people eating! No minimum spending required! 6-9pm on weeknights. The chicken was quite good. In the end, each of us only spent $11 for a very full meal of noodles, chicken, fried toufu and egg!!!!!!!! Fantastic!
After dinner, my pocket sustained a big hole. Not because of the dinner itself, but because we walked into Topshop. I've been ngiam-ing to my friends everyday about wanting the Topshop bag, and claiming that it must have been out of stock already, given that Topshop bags with nice designs run out rather quickly. So I told them, "If I see it, I'll buy it." I was actually quite confident that the bag was not going to be there in the shop anymore, therefore I said that sentence.... But lo and behold, the bag was hanging on a mannequin, waiting for me to buy it! I was still holding on to the hope of not buying it (cause it's still rather ex), and told my friends that if they had no new piece, I won't get it. The staff checked and brought me a bag. Then, I realised that it's the bigger version! I was secretly happy that I didn't need to spend that $70.55. But I got the staff to check anyway, and they managed to find the one I want. So, in the end, I went home with a big shopping bag, and $70.55 less in my wallet....
But I am still happy lah. It's one of the most expensive bags I've bought (in fact, I think it is the most expensive one I ever bought for myself, save for the Coach bags I bought for my mum in the US), but I really really like it. Hard to find a bag which you really really like nowadays!
Now I shall go think about how to earn this $70 back....
