Xmas present for myself!

Nothing much to do in office today and feeling cold coz walking around to keep myself awake. Thought would have a peaceful day before my leave tomorrow but my boss came in so felt super sian suddenly. Lucky thing is she din really bother me as she got tons of mail to clear. She left shortly ard lunch time and said will be back tomorrow and I am on leave!! Yeah!!

Rained on and off again as usual. Wanted to go out for lunch but dunno where to go. Was having a stomahache so decided to just pack lunch from downstairs. It started raining heavily as I was walking back to office, good thing I din go out.

Reached Toa Payoh Central early as was meeting sis. Left office ard 5.20pm coz wanted to catch the 1st shutter bus as its still raining. Dun want to end up squeezing for a seat with others again so only way is to go damn early and wait.

Went straight to Citigems wanting to see what kind of diamond earrings they have. At 1st the salesgal thought I wanted to buy a single side of an earring and suggested I use a pendant to convert. She then suggested why not buy a pair as I could change and wear. I was like "huh... I want to get a pair". Who on earth will buy one side, unless its a guy la. Anyway this salesgal wasn't that friendly and alert as most of the time she dunno what I am talking about.

Eventually after seeing few pairs of earrings, decided to get one which costs $500+. Its actually a special cut in the range of "Passion" and having 20% off. The other earrings she showed me (plus rest of the normal items) are on 50% sale but they were not as bright and shiny as the one I bought. Initially did not intend to spend that much but thought so long never buy any diamonds for myself so shall make it a Xmas gift for myself.

The earrings even come with a diamond scope (something like microscope) for the viewing of the diamond cut. Its really quite impressive when I looked into the scope, and used it to view my other diamonds and there is really a big difference!

This pair is also upgradeable within 2 years so its quite a good bargain. Suddenly got the urge to buy diamond earrings coz after buying a pair for Hui for her ROM, then realised I got no diamond studs to wear for special occasions. So its time to spoil myself again!!

Sis joined me while I was still at Citigems and we left for dinner at the "Koufu" food court shortly. We ate Carona Chicken rice, my favourite stall whenever we are there. It was then off to Popular and CD Rama as sis needs to buy some stationeries and CDs. Next was to NTUC (near Courts) to buy baking stuff but ended up we bought so much junk foods (instant noodles, crackers, chocolates, sweets etc.). Sis only got a couple of basic stuff (pizza baking tray, mixing powder and weighing scale). Told sis she can slowly come and shop for her stuff when she knows exactly what to buy and not buying anything more junk food coz we had difficulty dragging the bags home (especially when taking bus and still drizzling)!
