GSS Ends Late This Year!!

Oooh.. Just found out that GSS is ending late this year!!

Usually it ends around end of June, but this year its ending on 26th July!!! Maybe they’re trying to improve the economy with a longer sale period.

Means I have more time to go shopping!!! And pay day is coming soon!!! Hopefully I get my shopping mood back before the GSS ends.

Anyway, someone commented that I actually made 2 entries all about shopping.. So just to irritate him, I have decided to make a 3rd post about it! *haha*

Oh. The 2009 GSS message is quite cute. Took screenshots of it to share with you people. Enjoy!

More Shopaholic Rant..

Before I even realised, GSS is almost over. It kinda sucks. I haven’t bought a single thing for GSS this year.

I have been feeling very lazy to shop. Lazy to head to town to see if there were any good buys. Drove past Paragon a couple of times during June and saw the throngs of people queueing outside Gucci, etc. Saw the Prada boutique flooded with people. And I heard Ferragamo is having up to 45% sales. And I havent stepped into any one of them. Not that I am a sucker for branded stuff. I havent been interested in branded stuff for a long time. But in the past, I used to at least go inside the boutique, walk 1 round just to prove that I have nothing I fancy and then leave empty-handed. But this year, I didnt even get to walk inside, and not to mention, I didnt FEEL like it either.

I didnt even do my usual shopping inside my favourite ‘personal’ store, Watsons, I didnt even enter a single Charles & Keith boutique. I didnt step into any clothing or shoe or bag shop the ENTIRE GSS!!!! *gasp*

What is happening to Ade? I was telling Kiki maybe I bought too many shoes in TW already. But that shouldnt be affecting my shopping mood for other stuff right? Oh! That reminds me.. I still havent finish uploading my TW photos! I am a PROCRASTINATER!!!

Ah well.. Anyway, maybe I should really try hitting the malls this weekend, just to see if I still have that Shopaholic ‘mode’ in me. *haha*

Will update if I succeed in dragging my ever-growing-big-fat-ass out of the house and to the shopping mall this weekend!

Shopaholic

I was just wondering the last few days… About things I needed / wanted to buy…

How it started.. My favourite place to go used to be Mustafa’s IT section.. I always had things to look for, things to buy, things to check out prices for.. But that one particular night a few days ago, I wanted to suggest going to Mustafa to Kiki, but I suddenly stopped myself. Gave a 5 minute thought about it and realised that there was nothing I wanted to ‘lookout’ for. I suddenly realised that my IT gadget shopping list shortened.

I was talking to Kiki about it and he told me “Cos you basically bought everything you wanted already.” Which was true. I wasted quite a bit of money since last year till now. Basically what I wanted, I got. And suddenly realise how empty it feels to have ‘nothing’ you want to buy. Not exactly nothing, but lesser things for now cos the things I want are currently out of budget.

I can suddenly just imagine how those Tai tais and socialites must feel. I mean, I am sure there are still things that they want somehow… Imagine stepping into a Prada boutique and asking “What’s new today?” and the SA replying “Nothing new Mdm, you have everything that’s sold here already.” That’s how sad right? That was an experience my friend shared with me recently during her SA days years ago. She was working at a boutique and this tai-tai came in asking if there was anything to buy, and actually looked quite lost and disappointed when she got the reply that she had everything in the shop already.

Maybe that was why brands like Hermes came up with the birkins. Where you had to queue up for YEARS to get it. And those tai-tais, celebrities, etc, craaaved for it. Cos it was something they couldnt get as easily..

Anyway, was just feeling quite empty when I was looking at my blog and trying to think of new things to add on my ‘To Buy” list and felt quite lost when I ‘striked’ off some items and had no new things to add. I think I need to look around for new hobbies, new ‘wants’ again to give myself something to look forward to when I get my next paycheck.

For now, my Nikon D90 is the only thing to look forward to.. Maybe along with a spa / massage trip to Batam / Bintan and a shopping trip to Bkk / Taiwan again!!

I want to get my shopaholic self back with loads of things to buy again!!!!

Eyelid Twitching…

My eyelid has been twitching quite seriously for the last 3 days non-stop… And when I complain to people about it, I realise, the first reaction they get is usually… Not usually, definitely… “Which side?”

I guess the old chinese belief of eyelid twitching still stands even after so many years.. And despite the advancement of science, research, biology studies, etc… People still believe the old saying 左眼是喜, 右眼是灾。  ”Left eye = Happiness, Right eye = Danger”.

So feeling quite irritated over the eye-twitching, I decided to google it up as most people would.. And found some information about eye-twitching… Apparently there is a website specially dedicated to writing bout the topic. Twitching Eyelids. There was an even funnier result that was in Google which I couldn’t resist clicking.. Some guy had written in his blog that he was suffering from the irritating eyelid twitching and realised awhile later, that there were ALOT of people directed to his site, via Google when they searched for “twitching eyelids”. Its pretty funny.. This was the intro for the site in Google “Okay, it seems like a large number of people visiting my site are coming to read about eyelid twitching.”

And the funny thing was.. The people just kept going to his site cos of that particular post… and he got so irritated that he decided to write a more substantial post to explain the causes of eyelid twitching, just to make the poor people who got directed to his site from Google get some info instead of reading about some poor guy who was just complaining about the same problem they were having.

Anyway, just some information for you guys.. People get eyelid twitches usually cos of  tiredness, stress and lack of sleep can also be causal factors. Just get some sleep, or take a break and stop staring at your brightly lit computer screens, etc.. And it should be fine afterwards..

About work!!

Haven’t been blogging for a very long time and in ‘the other bird’ ‘s words.. I have been very secretive bout my new job.. So I decided to write an entry all bout my new workplace today!!!

Where am I working now?? Can’t say the name of the company but the clue is that it’s a company dealing with online games.

How’s work?? Overall not too bad but have faced quite a few hicups since I was here.. As I mentioned in one of my posts, on my first week here, had a minor disagreement or misunderstanding w one of my colleagues from another dept.

Then had some other problems w my closer colleagues n some internal problems amongst my staff.. And then another big one w the same colleague from the other dept which was also, thankfully solved..

And then had some colleagues saying tt I was a bimbo cos of some facebook photos n maybe cos I keep smiling at work. God knows y…

Overall, I must say tt my 3 months here have been very eventful… Other than that, work is quite fun and I learnt alot in the last few months.. But I must admit tt my brain has gotten rusty from the last few months of slacking back at my old company.. My ideas don’t come as fast.. Maybe also cos my ex boss wanted to make decisions in everything we do, there wasn’t any room for creativity.. Ah well.. Just glad I finally left the place…

Anyway, on the whole, I m quite happy at where I am now.. I do lose faith n directions once in a while, especially when it’s an internal problem, but I guess I m still ok.. Haven’t reached a point of giving up yet…

That’s all the updates for work!! So don’t worry!! Everything is good!!
