Woah! Went town on my own for some luxurious-goods shopping in the earlier part of the day! actually asked my frens out, budden most of them were either working, or had their own programmes dy. Even best fren LayKoon also couldn't go wimme, as she had to leave by 6 plus to meet her guy and she thought it would be a waste of the transport costs. =) Yup, so in the end, I went shopping on my own. haa.
Oh man! Louis Vuitton's service at Ngee Ann City cannot make it! Goodness. Actually had wanted to buy the Monogram Vernis Series Pochette Perle (the Coin & Change Holder). But then one of the service staffs had a freaking sucky attitude. Doh. So after i browsed the catelogue, I walked out of the shop. (Well, but actually can't rly blame them, as the boutique was really rather crowded at that time... Had to queue up to get in still, even though it was just a weekday, can u imagine?!?! haa)
Went on to Gucci (in Taka) to see if they have what I needed (or rather, wanted? haa). The closest they have which was similar to what i wanted was this coin purse. Plain, Gucci monograms on its canvas on the exterior, budden I wasn't exactly captivated by it leh. Well, it pales in comparison to the Monogram Vernis that I liked so much from LV.
However, something else caught my eye at Gucci instead. Muahahas. It was their handphone strap!!!

I thought it was somehow similar to the one that my (another) best fren, Kareen had. Only this time, they had it in Pink! Oh man. Pink. Ha. Though it isn't exactly my favourite colour, it caught my eye! Cos I just so love the metal part, which has "Gucci" engraved on it. I asked to take a closer look at the strap, and upon closer scrutiny (not exactly so...haa), I realised that the price was lesser than what I had expected! LOL. Asked them for the signature colours (the green n red), but understood from one of their staff that it was out of stock at their outlet, but Paragon still had it.
Thus, I went over to Paragon Gucci to look at the handphone strap in the Classic Gucci colours. While waiting for them to retrieve the merchandise, I was browsing around, & saw the Gucci belts hanging on the rack, WAITING FOR KAREEN TO GO GET THEM (Kareen's intending to buy one of those one day, soon.). Yups, anyway, in the end, I decided I'll settle with the Pink Gucci HP strap instead. BUT! This time round, it was the Paragon Gucci that did not have the Pink one, so I had to cross over to Taka again to purchase that pink one from them. Confusing? LOL. Oh man, imagine all those walking on heels!
Yea, settled with the pink one... Happy wimmy purchase! =))
Continued my journey, this time stopping over at Burberry, while still on the phone with Kareen. (I was asking her for advice & complaining abt the svc i got at LV). After browsing through, I decided to get this Burberry Wallet/ Card Holder on 50% discount! MUAHAHA. +Happy+

Anyway, the reason why I wanted to go shopping today was cos I realised I had no time left to catch the GSS, since the Uni Orientation Camps would be rolling out from Monday, & next weekend would be the last day. But then next week will be celebrating Jacqueline's birthday! (excited for her!) Thus, this would mean I'll have NO TIME LEFT. Yes, no time left. Thus, I went ahead with the shopping, even though I was ALL ALONE. =SSS****************************
Nightime was spent at Swissotel Merchant Court, for my cousin, Claudia's wedding dinner. Goodness, being an SIA Air Stewardess (well, i think 3 or 4 of the 6 ladies in her family ARE air stewardesses) definitely made her wedding stand out among those I've been to. All her wedding pictures were so picture-perfect!!! My cousin Claudia was slim & tall (her husband was slightly shorter than her), had unblemished complexion & a (literally) fair lady. The silk of the wedding gown carressed her sexy figure, and voila! Simply sweeping~ Woah. Too bad I dun haf such good genes. Hahaa. Yup, anyway i guess both of them are rich larrs. Being able to hold the wedding in Swissotel is no joke, & the wedding packages for photo shoots & stuff? Oh god.
Oh ya, talking abt Swissotel - Food wasn't exactly very bad, but neither was it fantastic... What was bad was the SERVICE (yes! service again. haa). Their waitressing crew took ages to get the condiments for us; & they wudn't bother to accede to ur request if they're not in charge of ur table. Cool ryte. DOH! Swissotel leh. What a service. (yea, n, "LV leh, what a service". haaaas)
Yup, anyway, the couple looked really endearing & so lovey-dovey... *Envy =)))
Then both my (other) cousin, Jessamine & I were discussing which one of us would get married first n stuffs. Hahas. my conclusion: To get married is no joke (because I wouldn't want to divorce; i treat marriage as something of great sanctity whose purity must not be desecrated). On top of uniting as one with The Special One, you seriously have to be rich to throw lavish receptions like this. No joke. Big hole in pocket. Budden again, I think it's really romantic & heart-warming to be able to get married in an ambience you've always wanted (your whole life or not)....
Ha! Here're some pictures that I took that night... Pictures of my cousin's wedding were really blur. Oh man. Thus, only these few... Hees. Oops.
Dad & Mum by the Singapore River (Romantic hor? haa)
Jerica & Jessamine (she's my a-yr-younger-than-me cousin & we're close!)
Jessamine & Jerica again. haa.
Well, with much appreciation for having my family there yesterday, here's wishing Cluadia & her hubby all the very best, & let's hope to see a new baby in the Chong/ Zhang family soon! (oops, bt she's now a Teo; no longer Chong. haha)
"Holding your hands
I won’t fear tomorrow
Here where we stand
We'll never be alone"
