Beware of Bimboness.
On Saturday, i had one of those unplanned good days i will usually plan for which doesn't turn out right.You know like, Hey,meet you at 10...we'll shop at far east.we walk aimlessly for hours and end our day lamenting how we either bought nothing and should have gone to the beach instead or spent too much and grudgingly sip our 5 dollar starbucks coffee...just to top it of.
Saturday was started innocent, Jeanette had asked me to go shopping.Sure...Sat morning, 1030am.I haven't gone shopping since Christmas, like real shopping...a whole day dedicated to time in shops and not those by the way shopping. So i was terribly focused. i listed what i needed to get. A scarf for my trip to HK...(which i found out will be terribly cold which i'm not happy about), a pair of shorts (to wear for supper, not too short cos that's indecent and not too long cos thats for boys), Sunnies (also for HK, just to look cool in) and a Bandana...(for the hair).
With Jeanette or the sisters, shopping's a breeze, standard shopping route. Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Forever21, Cotton On, Mango, Pull and Bear, RiverIsland. No "where to next ah?"...standard. So i stepped into Dorothy Perkins...bang, white shorts, 23 bucks, last piece, my size! Nice Cashier, 10% discount, 20 bucks for Dorothy Perkins shorts...its like a SHOPPING MIRACLE. 1 down. Next Forever21, grabbed a pair of sunnies just to try, i mean we all know how expensive these branded sunnies are...but lookit, it fits!check price...only 11 bucks??? crazy. 2 down. After that i was just looking out for stuff i could spend money on, i saw a fabulous red raincoat...its gorgeous, everyone needs a raincoat!!can you imagine the pain i felt to part with it? why?? why must it cost 62 bucks. Depression is really such a unecessary emotion.
So i cure myself by having lunch!Not before first going to Pull and Bear. I saw a lovely scarf, the price..30 bucks...for CLOTH which does nothing for you..really. at most, keeps your neck warm. So i decided, if i was still thinking about it after lunch, i'll get it.(sue me, i'm scared of the cold) LUNCH! i really need lunch! And boy was it yummy...go go..pasta place at taka!near the lifts.
Guess what? i forgot about the scarf. Only to remember i needed one when we were at Heeren. And you know what?? i found one, a nicer one. At only 14 bucks! i love it. Isn't it a perfect day for shopping? Later, we went to Centrepoint. Nothing. Seeing how we were so near plaza singapura, Jeanette (donut lover extrodinaire) suggested i try Missy Donuts. Glazed of course. i'm really not a big fan of donuts. On the way, we passed this Donut shop, E-donuts i think its called...donut lover just had to buy some. At Missy(stupid name),the donut was heavenly,soft, sweet, sinful, will never have one again for 2 months but nice.
Next we took the bus to Raffles City, seeing how we were so near and so far, all the shops were empty and people were scarce, just the way i love it. At Raffles City, i remembered about the donut craze with the 3 hour queue for donuts...so i decided to check out Donut House. There was no queue. dammit. One more won't hurt...and glazed is the least fattening..AIN'T IT? At the counter, i said, "One Please." "ONE? Just ONE? the look of, "you know, ordering just one is a crime." stood there in front of me. sheesh. I took barely 2 bites of my donut and barely five steps, when there, in front of me, was J.CO. Only the best donuts ever in Indonesia and also, the closest thing to Krispy Kreme.(WHICH IS BTW AWESOME, trust all the rumours.)Something in me just knew, the donut i was eating wouldn't be my last. 2 and a half donuts in less than an hour, just minutes after lunch. (chants, i walked from orchard, i walked from orchard.)
Totally disgusted with ourselves, Jeanette and i crashed Julie's room over at the Ritz. It was wonderful, the bed...ahhh..the bed...just the perfect place to let those sinful, oil soaked, sugar coated donuts settle and find its rightful place on my body where i'll see and exclaimed...oh gawds, i'm going on a diet! Then Ju comes in and says, HEY, you know there's this club upstairs that serves free food. All you can eat. WHAT????YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME...well after the obligatory "nah i can't eat anymore." we found ourselves eating the free food at the club upstairs which serves the free food. Damn hotel food is yummy. overlooking singapore. (my home and where only things this stupid can happen)
After that, the parents came. GUESS WHAT? it was now dinner time and they had to eat. i refused!i swear. Satay was planned, but the mother had a bad tummy, so we had porridge...i had nothing...i was so proud. thank goodness we didn't have satay. Of course, when we went back to the ritz, the parents had to see this rumoured atas club which serves free food, all you can eat.
Back there i was, and you know what they had now? Chocolates. Many many types of chocolates. I could have easily said no, i'll wait in the room and drink plain water but no. there i was munching on the different types of chocolates. Chocolates not found anywhere else. Chocolates i don't even like or eat much of. Chocolates i had to eat for i may not eat there again. Damn that club. i hate that place. Also, never underestimate the power of a scarf and sunnies combo at a hotel. ha! Act atas only.
To top off this great day, i won 8 bucks at poker. woohoo.
btw, there's a clear view of the singapore flyer from Ritz's bathrooms...so if you guys ever happen to be at Ritz taking a bath and having some rabba rabba, imagine the fortunate people at the flyer get more than their ticket's worth. also, if you're going on the flyer, bring powerful binoculars, so you can check out the weirdos taking their baths at the Ritz.
