The shopping continued in earnest...

Sales commenced in Zara and Robinsons on Christmas day. Needless to say, I was there. =P Dragged my sister and her boyfriend down too (I'm sure they, or she, wanted to go anyway) and here's what i bought:

  • A pair of Zara kids ballet pumps, $39.90- they were $20 cheaper and cute - dull gold coloured with little stars at the side in the front.
  • A Zara shirt for the hubby, $59.90 - It looked nice and felt comfy.
  • A Van Heusen shirt for the hubby, $40 - It was cheap! Regular price is $129! I blame my sis, who sis dug it out of the bin first. =P
  • 2 pcs of unmentionables, $80 - Ok... on hindsight, I don't think I should have bought two pcs, but they were really cheap! less than 50%! =P
And the shopping continued on Boxing Day, when I asked Spinky to bring me along if she went to the Isetan private sale with parents. I really just wanted to but that light green cocktail dress ($79.90 after discount) that I've been eyeing for a few months now, but ended up also buying a white cardigan ($19.90).

What can I say? I'm a sucker for sales. I think it's a pre-move thing - gotta make sure I have variety in my wardrobe and be equipped for all occasions.

Now the one thing left that I REALLY want - the Canon SX 1 IS. Don't think I really NEED a camera cos my old camera - the Canon IXUS 40 - is still usable, just cranky - switches between photo and video mode by itself all the time. But the SX 1 IS looks really cool... 10MP, 20x optical zoom, shoots HD video... and not that ex (RP $999) if compared to buying a digicam and camcorder separately, which would easily cost $1.5k.

Oh. And need to buy golf accessories. The hubby thinks I should learn to play golf. EK's giving me her old golf set, but will have to get gloves and shoes and who knows what else.

So happy to have my yr-end bonus. =P
