okay, got 7 months worth of contact lenses to last me, considerin i dont tear or throw em away before their lifespan, a new bag, for both travel n college, a new shoe for running. spent quite a lot in the past few weeks, gotta watch my other expenses. dad got himself a trekkin type shoe for the winter and a new facsimile to replace the one we had previously which broke.

i was at shaw towers, between bugis junction n suntec city. got my bag there. spent most of the time shoppin there. we went to coffee bean for a while, i didnt notice cheryl goh workin there, i was orderin without lookin at her face, then she was juz standin infront smilin, i took like few seconds to realise who she was. saw reuben there later as well.

man, everyone should hav seen my dad nagotiate wit this really irritatin watch shop dealer who tries to sell us somethin every single time we go there. i wanted to clap when the deal was sealed. i dunno y my dad keeps goin there tho, dealer's so irritatin. anyway since tomorrow's my parents 24th weddin anniversary, he saw this nice watch for my mom so he thought of gettin it. startin price, 399. the dealer gave us a 'special' price, 287. my dad still wasnt impressed. then the guy started talkin a lot of cock like usual, wastin like an hour of my day. or more actually. its like this every single time we go there. luckily there was a movie memorabilia store opposite the store, so i went to see lotr stuff. they got the 1/5 replica of the narsil for 70 bucks. its v impressive. they got 4 more swords, but gotta order. one of frodo's, one of the ringwraiths, one of i think it was the elfs, the other one, i forgot. they also had that shards of narsil too. tt was 90 bucks. n tt cool return of the king poster for 35. i was so tempted to buy the poster, the drawin is so awesome. spend a while talkin to the assistant about how to obtain the narsil, coz tt was the only one, mayb gotta order. i might get the short swords keychain sometime in the future. back to the store, my dad was still half listenin to the fella, who gave us a price of 587 for two watches. after some more negotiation n waste of more time, while my dad insisted a non negotiable price of 500, he gave up, offerin us final price of 530. imagine, tt price for two watches wit a combined startin price of 800+. i was like, wow, tts gd. my mom's quite happy wit the watch, since its quite impressive n all.

k i'll try not to get anymore things for the next few months. well, except for some necessities. but i really want the sword replica n the poster. urrrgh....
