And There's More...
In addition to the lure of online shopping, I found another source of retail therapy over the weekend - PEOPLE'S PARK COMPLEX!
Yes, thanks to r@e, I braved the heat of this non-air-conditioned complex (of a million shops), overcame my claustrophobia of crammy changing rooms, bashed through the jungles of clothes all hung tightly together (forget about stylish, upmarket window display here)..... and emerged a Chong Kee fan. Uh, yes, that's the name of the shop.
The clothes here are an amazing lot, almost every piece a familiar replica of those from Zara, GG5, Southhaven etc etc etc. I was so thrilled to find a few tops that cost only an average of 30 bucks each, yet good quality and chic enough for work. You can tell I'm so determined to break away from the monotony of matching the standard shirt/cami with suits!
The bad news is, although I don't know if the above is good news to the hubs, I AM FAST RUNNING OUT OF WARDROBE SPACE. I thought I bought hundreds of hangars from Ikea, enough to last a lifetime, when we first moved in a couple of years back. But tonight, I realised that there are no more hangars left. Now, is there an emergency here?!
And some of my clothes have just started to invade The Boy's wardrobe space.....

You can get acessories there too! There is even a shop where you can get the guy to make the necklace, ring, chain and whatever for you..only set-back is place can be quite warm..Was thinking of gog over the weekend..but the weather was soooo cool that I decided to 'nua' @ home...
Huh huh, me and colleagues walk there during lunch! :)
haha.. a crisis indeed. NO HANGERS??? then how???!!
Ooh the tops are lovely! Where is this haven?!!
Yes I find you can never have enough closet space. Ours is always near bursting!!
that place has been a bustling with many ladies for many years..I used to work there before. Many clothes were imported in from HK (mostly) or Taiwan. after the upgrade..the "air" is better there I think..:P
oh and good luck Jem!!! :D
Haha chill mama... My wardrobe is gonna collapse one day with the weight too. And yeah, I'm forever buying new hangers, if it makes you feel better.
Now that you know the marvels of Chinatown, there's more money to spare for another exobitantly priced bag! Hiaks.

silver-crv > haha, where there is shopping, there are plenty of ladies!
BBL > no bb, clothes and bags are mutually exclusive. clothes are clothes, nice bag is nice bag. And shoes are shoes.
