Damn tired shopping day

Took half day off to meet sis to search for my ROM dress and her for dresses to attend both me and bro's wedding dinners. Sis went to sign an appointment letter for a 3 months contract as Web Designer b4 meeting me. She started work today and her working hrs are from 8am to 5pm! Tough man...

We had lunch at Yoshinoya PS then walked down to Somerset area trying to look for one building then realised its actually at Orchard Hotel area. We then walked all the way down, passing by Tangs to check out their dresses. As expected, none suited me as all too small size. Most were also tube dresses so not suitable for sis as well.

We were already quite tired by then so took a break at Mac with drinks at Shaw Centre. After that, we slowly made our way to Delfi Orchard and it started drizzling. Upon reaching, we finally found the shop after walking couple of rounds and you know what, the shop is closed!! What luck...

So we took a bus down to Millenia Walk 1st to check out a shop selling ring pillows and other accompanying accessories like wrist corsages, ang bao boxes, guest books and photo albums. After much consideration, bought a silver ribbon ring pillow with small flowers topped with Swaroski crystals. Had wanted to get a purple or light green one, but realised quite difficult to match any dress so got a more neutral one. Will probably check out their guest books and photo albums later for new stocks.

Walked to Marina Square next and took a break then realised we were both abit hungry. Went to the food court and shared a bowl of Korean Spicy Ramen and roti pratas. After buidling up our strength again, we walked to Raffless City through the City Link and checked out Marks & Spencer 1st. Nothing much there so walked to our next destination, Lavender, which specialises in dress at Stamford House. The dresses were nice but they do not tailor made anymore so we left after browsing.

We then took a bus back to Orchard, wanting to check out another shop at Shaw Centre. We left then got an sms from Peggy saying there's one there. We took a wrong bus coz I wasn't quite concentrating and alighted behind Wisma. Walked down to Wheelock Place and passed by Marks & Spencer again but found nothing much there too. Finally saw that shop but upon seeing their collection from outside, really cannot make it coz all quite auntie and too flowery.

Not giving up, we walked down to Paragon and then Taka. No luck still so took a break b4 our last stop at Isetan Orchard. Sis managed to find a top and a semi-dress (go with pants or jeans) but I cun find anything after trying on a couple pieces.

We were damn tired by the time we got home, all my legs muscles aching big time... Managed to cool them down using ointment and medicated plasters and felt better this morning.
