Great Savings!
It's not very often that you find everything you set your eyes upon, during a sale, and they have it in YOUR size AND in good condition. In this case, mind you that such incidents have not happened in the longest time, you succumb to the lure of the very word in the English dictionary that can make your heart miss a beat - SALE.
Right from the minute I got off work at 1pm this afternoon, I met up with Heng-mummy (she's an excellent shopping companion with limitless energy) and we combed the malls non-stop (except for a small tea break at HK cafe, Central) for the next 7 hours.
It was a good day for me, I felt as happy as the farmer with a good harvest. I managed to get quite a bit at unbelievably good prices, and I didn't feel one bit hungry even though I went without lunch. We were a pair of hardcore shopaholics, on the loose!
I even bumped into Mr & Mrs Silver-Crv. Mrs was looking very good, one month away from the EDD. It must be so exciting for them!
When I reached home, I eagerly shared with The Boy my theory of sale - the more you spend, the more you save. And that was why i came home with quite a few shopping bags, including some pressies for him. He liked the shirts very much, it's called bribery. Heh. :D

so nice to be able to shop with your MIL just like friends!
you got more stuff than for the boy!!! hahahahah!!! the way it's supposed to be!
7hrs??!!! i cannot man! i cannot shop anymore. :( kinda busted ALL my credit cards.
love what you bough! and wow! shopping with MIL! coolios!
silver-crv > ssshhhhh.... yeah, really great seeing you guys!! :D
lingz > I was VERY satisfied with my stash too. tsk tsk. ;)
yuling > this happens only once in a blue moon, i usually can't hold out that long! :p
sharon > i love shopping with my sis too, she gives the best opinions. that's right, a girl can't have too many pairs of shoes!!!!
candice > yup, she's very cool :)
imp > guys' things are less varied, so more difficult to buy. heh. Yikes! don't remind me about credit cards....
tiffany > yeah, it just happened to be one of those days when you can find many things you like, and buy. There are also "dry spells" when even if you want to spend money, nothing catches your eye!
7 Hours?! Whoa, I want to know what SHOES you were wearing to walk around. Need to schedule in one of these shopping trips too..all the "signs" are around telling me to do so. muahahahaha
Comfy flats! :)
Yes yes, my colleagues and I not gonna care about budget this month, spend before July! :D
all the stuff you got for yourself and jem look so colour coordinated! haha! well done. i've been hitting the shops too cos the sale is just too alluring, just not posting about it :P
Haha, yah, didn't realise that. Must be a tendency towards certain colours.
Yes, the sale is really quite attractive, that you start thinking of how much you'd be saving, instead of how much you're actually spending!
I long for the day when I can shop for regular items, without always thinking of big totes, and almost flat shoes. I want dainty lady bags and sky-scraping heels!!! But nay, guess this GSS for me is a time to stock up on skincare and practical stuff.
I echo the same thoughts as domesticrat...shoe and clothes shopping are just different now.
GSS is the time for me to stock up on lilnat's stuff...as soon as we get down to it.
domestic rat > Well, look at it as expanding your collection - adding more flats to your collection, adding more bigger bags to your collection! ;)
lilsnooze > i think it's even more worth it to buy baby's clothes and stuff now, cos they cost almost as much as adults' clothes without sale! haha :D
TOTALLY agree with you on dry spells. you WANNA spend money but NOTHING worth buying. gahss.
