rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

FJ Benjamins SALES
If I was 1 hr earlier, i need not have to stand at the back of the snake shape que.
There is this guy at the other side of the que wearing this maroon flower embroided ted baker tie. I still remember I always saw the tie everytime i enter ted baker boutique, but the thing is that i've never asked for the price. I just didnt thought that it will be cheap but to tell you the fact, it was gorgeous. Not exactly a word you will use on a guy's item but i can imagine yu in that; and everyone will be saying:" THE GUY IN THAT TED BAKER"S TIE".
The que is moving fast and in about 10 mins later, I was shoved a white transparent plastic bag that was thicker then those you saw in NTUC and I entered into a messy high class market beyond the door.People are moving everywhere. Those with really classy taste by the way they dress and i believe there are some phillipines maids around as well. Before i noticed, my colleagues are dispersed into the crowds. Big signboards like Raoul, Guess and Gap are hanging around. With wordings like:
1 for $50,
2 for $80++
3 for $99
and
Raoul knitted shirt, skirt......
1 for $10
3 for $20++
8 for $56
Before i go on, i went looking around the pile of clothes which people around are GRABBING. I pulled out one and realise it was a Raoul Shirt, well, it was white in colour, with pockets on both the front, and it was quite simple but one for $50. I understand that it was really cheap perhaps. For a Raoul Shirt. Forget it. Too many people crowding around.
Hence i look around intending to find any of the 5 colleagues who were there with me. Oh, not to mentioned my boss is there too. But of course we didnt went with her, as a matter of fact, one of my colleague was considering not to go because she was there. Not really keen to explain the details here and i bet you are not interested too. There straight in front of me, people are taking and trying on shoes. Hence i walked over, and indeed my colleagues are there.
One of my colleagues have bought 4 pairs of Guess shoes yesterday and 1 Raoul dress. 2 of my colleagues has gotten 3 pairs of Guess shoes each and .... 3 pairs are $99 for your info. Normally each pairs cost like $80++ to $100++ in a sale and now this price. Buying shoes of this kind is an investment isnt it. If you buy 3 pairs, I will not need to get any shoes for this year already and what's more is that they are so affordable.
However, to my disappointment, those shoes are not really the kinds i will really want to get. Trying to look for those that are more plain, not so much of leopard skins, Big monogram, Bright pink colour and the most impt thing is that they are at least 3 inch. Well, I didnt want to make myself suffer in those shoes do i.
Then Jean caught me. She pulled me over, " Joanna, I think your friend will like this, mongram with platform. Come take a picture and send her" And I did. She took a Guess platform covered "stiletos" and waited for me as i took the picture and send it to Rebecca.
Ok, I am bored of typing like that cause that only comprises me 20 mins out of the whole hour of trip inside the SALES. And this is like the start...
Before I end off, will like to share some of my dear cute sister response to the whole thing:
"huh, serious, shit, i also feel like going, was thinking if i should miss an hour of lesson to go, i think i am going crazy, keep thinking about it"
"I really cant go cos i will go crazy 1plus sinliang not here w me to rationale my pruchase, (here come the classic) i m the live rebecca bloomwood.Everything that run thru her brain when she shop is exactly thru mine" - One more thing i knew about my sister here.. her shopping mentality could be compare with a person in the book i am reading...hahahahaha
Then i told her about my colleague who took leave to go in the morning.
"did they spend a lot"
so far they each gotten 3 pairs each
"u going down during lunch?"
"huh, then i dun go liao, usually such sales on 1st best"
"haha, yup u should have went yst"
"serious, but i dun mind going down during lunch, but i need to be back in office by 2pm"
"i think i shouldnt go la"
then i send her the mms of the shoe
"okie, gian le. size 5 or 5.5... gotta not v high 1? "
And the most awesome message i gotta from her is
"Get 6 pairs, i return u the money on sat. Dun wan too high, 5.5 size"
then i couldn get for her cause behind the counter the sales person are slow.
"there can reserve or not say the gal come at evenin? ya i cant concentrate at work."
Haha... well in the end i am not sure if she will go down. Just hope she wont get an overdraft like becky bloomwood.. hahahah
Main thing is, I am really excited over the excitment of the very SALES... perhaps i read too much shopaholics. And in the end, Jean, my colleague who went yesterday, bought another 2 more pairs of Guess shoe and everyone got really cheap and good buys. I wanted to get a dress $25 from Raoul and 2 skirts (not sure of the price but shouldnt go beyond $30) from Raoul, but my colleagues all paid aready as they were really fast. They had been queing since 11+am and that time is 1pm already. Hence i dropped all that i have chosen and went out. More than half of the ballroom I have yet to visit.
Ok, I am once again excited cause the salesmen wife who had helped the rest to fetch back their buys are back.
Take a little look here: (their buys)
(My friend is letting of of the above, if anyone wants it, $33, size 6)
(I want this... the above... if i could go again i will reconsider)
(My friend is willing to let go of the above, $33, size 6)
The La Senza panties 15 for $15/-
Its all my colleagues as you read from above i didnt get anything.
And Gap top at $7/-
Some kids wear they bought.
I am high on this shopping thing for more then half the day already.
Shall settle down to do what's important le.
THE NEXT SALE COMING UP IS CLUB 21...
