went to jb again for the fifth time this week with my mom and bro.. my mom wanted to look for some new clothes to wear in the kitchen.. yes.. although my mom is 66 years old and retired already, she still likes to wear nice clothes even if it's only to cook for us.. you would never see her in kain batik or kaftan during the day because she is always in her white pants and colourful blouse.. she loves making sure she is clean, pretty and smells good all the time.. even before she goes to sleep every night.. i admit i am influenced by that which is why i spend quite a lot for beauty stuff that my dad will never understand.. but support me nevertheless.. i guess that's the perk of being the last born in the family..
so we went to metrojaya and had a brilliant time choosing clothes for both of us (yes, i also tumpang a few as a reward for bringing her there) .. although the limit to try was three, but we brought a hell lot more than that and the staff was so nice that she didn't mind we try it all in one sitting.. and my mom loves striking colours like red, orange, and yellow which i really admire that woman at that age can pull off such colours.. even her lipstick is Marlyn Monroe red.. there was a time when Dior stopped producing the lipstick she used to wear and we had a hard time finding her a new one.. she is not the type who likes changes so much but luckily we manage to find the same colour although in a different casing.. after she tried all the clothes and picked 80% of the total of clothes we brought in to try, we had to wait quite some time to pay it all up because the system in metrojaya is very confusing. there is a five-days promotion where every rm150 spent in single receipt, you are entitled to get rm20 voucher. but, even if you spent rm1000 in one single receipt, you will only get rm20 voucher.. therefore in order for you to get the voucher for every rm150 spent, the cashier had to punch in the purchases separately.. so for instance if we buy stuff up to rm1000, the cashier have to key in the cash register about six times in order to be eligible for the rm20 voucher.. i didn't mind the waiting part.. it was fine because there were not so many people at the store but the part where i had to go up to fourth floor just to redeem the voucher killed me.. i was at the second floor so imagine the hassle in high heels, walking confidently and graciously because i had to walk through the men's department in the third floor and start to sprint off again to get to the fourth floor.. i think i manage to shed at least 500gm due to my effort in getting the stupid voucher.. and guess what? we can't use the voucher in one sitting.. for every rm50 purchase, we are only allowed to use rm10 voucher.. so after i redeemed three vouchers, i had to get down again to pay off the next items in order to be able to use all the vouchers.. even after i paid it off everything including the rm60 godammit voucher, i still had to go up again to redeem another rm20 voucher because we still had sufficient balance.. boy that was tough. it is even tougher than organizing a seminar.. well since i had an extra rm20 voucher in my hand after the final redemption, i used it to reward myself for a mascara.. yay! mine was already dried up and past its expiry date.. so starting tomorrow i can start blinking my eyes suggestively to hot guys!
i should be happy right now.. well scratch that.. i should be in a state of blissfulness since i have the brand new perfume, makeups, and clothes.. i should be euphoric and hysterical with pleasure to see how my family tried to support my emotional breakdown by buying me stuff and all.. it's not like money can't buy happiness.. yes sure it could.. but only to a certain extent.. when i'm alone, i'll be sad again..
they say, wait until i start working.. then the sky is the limit to any guy that i want to get in touch with.. not physically touching only of course but u know what i meant, right? ;) well, sometimes you just don't want any other guy.. because you already have the specific one in your mind.. so it is kinda difficult to adjust to something brand new.. it is possible but it takes time.. just like when you want to use a brand new toothbrush.. you still prefer the old one who seems to know which way to go, which teeth needs more TLC even though the brush already start to look like the one you scrub your floor with..
i already finished reading 'The Book of Tomorrow'.. and i'm a few chapters with 'Thank You for the Memories' by the same author.. cecelia ahern sure knows how to write brilliant stories.. there were never a novel by her that i didn't enjoy reading it from cover to cover..
