=)

whoops ..... just few hours to go before leaving singapore....

well today morning is quite usual for me, woke up at 7am in the morning, then after getting ready, rushed out to go somewhere....

Then, went to orchard, hoping to get myself a new wallet as the old one had gone out of shape, with holes in every corner... Well, maybe its the fact that i'm a 'lousy' shopper... not only because i do not know how to bargain professionally , and i don't even know how to find the correct shop...

I always thought that wallet is usually made up of leather... and leather is associated with bags... therefore i went to shops that sell bags ... but i can't find any at all..... i wandered from TAKASHIMAYA, TO LUCKY PLAZA, TO PARAGON, TO TANGS, TO WISMA ATRIA....
Then a thought came to me that wallets are usually available at clothes department store....and are at the cashier's counter.....

But i can only think of the Metro shop in paragon.... so i went there... yes they have wallets but the price..... can already allow you to purchase 1 Creative mp3 player .... can you imagine that ???

But luckily, i remembered that there was a wallet for teenagers, be it boys or girls.... BillaBong ....and i managed to stumble into ISETAN and good thing they have it... well its good that i managed to find what i am looking for, guess how long i took?? around 12 to 3 something.... 3 HOURS ++++++ haiz..........

Oh yes i also managed to get small Japan Yen notes.... yup i went to the money changer... he gave me have the exchange of 1 dollar singapore to 78yen.... with a loss of 1 yen.... as rate in newspaper today is 79yen.... but funny thing is when he asked me to hand over the amt of money i wished to change...

i did the same thing, a piece 50 Singapore Dollar note.... the moment he hold me money, i could see that his hand is reaching for his calculator, probably he's trying to lower down the exchange rate since i am only changing a few amount of money.....
it is also because as his hand was reaching for his calculator, he kept saying ;

" 50 dollars arh, 50 dollars arh, 50 dollars arh"

Yup luckily i had calculated the amount of YEN that i would get before i handed him the money.... I said to him... 3900 YEN....... in the end i get quite a good deal.... Maybe in the future the uncle will surely set the rate back to 1 dollar to 76 yen.... but i am very thankful to the uncle..=D

yup its 6 pm now, i gotta be ready.... ok bye bye....
