Yes my writing hormones have come to visit me again. I am impeccably sorry for the frequent hiatuses that sent my tagboard on nervous breakdowns (Yes! The word breakdowns is in plural) Just that I'm just not a very seeded by events writer which means I don't gain Pulitzer moments just because I went through some camp or some funky organized event. It takes an extraordinary something to just kick the hormones back to running all over my body!
Which explains why I am quite hyped now.
I went Christmas shopping today! And I can't believe how much I spent. I won't tell you 'cuz that's not very ethical (okay that's rubbish) but I just can't tell you.
I bought my first hardcover book (books actually 'cuz I got 2 at the same time) and they are *drumroll* Marley and Me by John Grogan and For One More Day by Mitch Albom. I would have never bought hardcovers on a tralala normal trip to Borders/Kino/any-other-book-store but I got the creme da la creme voucher which entitled me to 40% off! *3 cheers for Esther Chee* The Marley and Me one was quite a steal- I would have bought it even on a normal occasion, only 25 bucks for friggin' hardcover leh! What is the world coming to???
So yeps, I also got 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die by Stephen Farthing which cost 40 bucks also another book I will never buy on a tralala normal trip to Borders/Kino/any-other-book-store.
Due to privacy constraints I will only state family related Christmas presents here all for the sake of surprise on Christmas Day =)
I bought Speeches that Changed the World for my Dad =) Also another will not buy on a tralala normal trip to Borders/Kino/any-other-book-store cuz it was hardcover and 30 bucks. I didn't use the voucher which that though cuz the voucher only had a maximum (and minimum) of 4 books. But heck, it's Christmas right?
And I got Estee Lauder's Pleasure Eau De Toilette Special Edition for Mom =)
All these gifts proudly sponsored by Straits Times. No la, but have to thank them for it yea ;)
Oh and if you haven't found out, Victoria School is the winner of the Straits Times Newspaper Competition 2006 *grins and jumps for joy*
So overall, Christmas shopping in Orchard Road is fun! Just remember to download fun games on your cellphone so you don't get to bored in queues. On second thought, the service standard has been great, I queued less than 3 minutes for all my purchases today!
