Cant image that 2 days of annual leave is over.. Just a blink and it's gone.

Overall, one word to describe - meaningful.

Day (1)
Woke up at 10am. Took light breakfast and he came over to fetch me. We had a minor tiff. Yes, again over $$. The way how he allocate his money and overspending. But it's a small issue. At times, learn how to forgive and forget, to be honest and frank with feelings.

Shortly, we went into Malaysia. Drove directly to JUSCO. 2nd time to advent. We spent 7hrs in that shopping mall. Bought total of 7 pcs of casual wear + 1 pair of jeans + 2 pairs of earrings + groceries + 1 meal + cakes = less than SGD170.. hee hee.. a rewarding short trip!


Day (2)
Probably I have tired out by shopping. I slept and woke up in the late morning. The day that I have kinda look forward for - Bridal shop selection. I walked the straight of T/P road before deciding on few shops to step into. Superhard selling for most. Repeating the same old sentence: "we worked with your needs, feel open to speak your mind.." Through speech, body language and way we glared at the photos, it's quite easy to know whether we are keen. Same styles. Look at pics, gowns, taking out the piece of package paper.. scribbling our needs. As we stepped out of the shop will be offer price, slashing and additional items. We spend average of 45 mins to an hour per shop. Longest record is 2 hours that I felt the comfort zone fell to down all the way out with all super convince selling tactic.. sigh.. sian.. I was tapping my feet with impatience that I want to step out the shop. Was very impressed by the photography skill but not the nagging and irksome sales cordinator. By 10pm, we visited total of 5-6 shops. Ended with the last. The one I have in mind. I know he was shocked by the basic package. Though he found the photographs average. But he knows me well - the minute I tried the WG, my eyes sparkles with joy and relief. Looks like no way out. We decided to get it settle at end of the day. I felt so guilty. I got what I want but I know it's not the shop he has in mind. Was feeling very very apologetic and guilty.

When I shared my opinion and items with my colleagues. I realised I left out a few items and I was told - I AM VERY GREEDY WOMAN!! Yeah, of course, once in a life time. I think I have not ripped the best deal. Was upset but eventually, soulsearching - no perfect package. Give and take my dear, give and take.
