Today was a productive but tiring Monday off..  Day started at abt 930am, and ended at like 1030pm! Hmm hours-wise it was actually more xiong1 than work; but I ended up with some surprise finds/ bargains, including an off-the-rack dress I can wear for ROM, so I came home a broke but happy girl. Amidst all the shopping I even managed to catch a glimpse of the Abercrombie guys (in sweatpants only) outside the new A&F store along Orchard! The shoe-search was tough 'cos there just aren't that many choices out there within my budget; I managed to find something decently pretty, so if I cannot find anything else I'd prob just go with this pair.

It's so painful that I have to wake up at 715am tmr to go to work... :(

p/s: I have developed a newfound respect for good salespersons (who know their stuff and are not out to pressure you to buy a certain product/ model). It's also pretty inspiring to meet people who know their trade really well and look like they love what they do for a living..
