lesson #77: the hu-ha of weekend

Went shopping last Saturday with B after dance class. Incidentally, it was the last class I could attend at Amore without renewing my membership... 'Twas a sad parting *sob*. Anyway, what I plan to do now is to sign up for cheaper packages. The last package I signed up for was the unlimited power package, where you can attend unlimited number of classes for the duration of 1 month. Since uni is starting and stuff, I guess it'll be more worth it if I take up the simple power package of just $45 for 4 classes / mth. But I think that's before GST, so the total's quite steep? But I really love the Saturday hip-hop class! So I guess I'll just go for that...
 
Anyway, back to Saturday. Went shopping but not for me, it was for B! I realize it can be quite fun shopping for other people. Especially for guys! Because you still get to pick stuff out for them ('cos they just don't know what to look out for!) and then you get to see them try it on, and then when they like it, they're the one paying! Ha-ha. You get all the satisfaction of shopping without having to pay a single cent! What brilliant therapy!
 
We went inside Armani Exchange, where I saw this awesome baby blue bag made of fluffy towel material, just for $109.90! It's really quite a good bargain, for a brand like that! And then at Sisley, there was a marvellous white sleeveless top with shiny gold imprints on it, and it's just so soft... reduced from $80 to just half the price. We also checked out Polo by Ralph Lauren, but it only has very boring stuff... I kinda forced B to go to Zara, and what do you know, he found a very nice polo tee from the sales rack! It was his size, too. Am I a good shopping partner or what? Without me, he'd have missed that polo tee completely!
 
The next day went to meet N. Found a great shop - I think I tried on half of the clothes that were on display. I just kept picking out stuff because they're all so nice-looking, and the shop assistant would come to my side every few seconds to take away the stuff I've picked out and put them inside the changing room, all ready for me to try! In the end, I found this most amazing pair of black pants - it's like, baggy and yet curvy... it fits me so well! And it was only $20.
 
All in all, a great weekend experience.
