We are not meant to be (The Elusive Dress Part 2)

Last Sunday, my sister and I went to around 4 malls to look for the dress from Dorothy Perkins and another dress from Miss Selfride. Miss Selfridge only has 4 branches here and we've already been to two of them the previous day. So our first stop was at Bugis for the DP, and it's no longer available there. Next stop was Marina Square for the MS dress. Didn't find it there too. Then, we went to OG Orchard for another DP, still didn't find it there. Our last stop was at Paragon for the last MS shop, we found the dress there but they don't have my size. Sad sad. The branch manager was nice enough to tip us that new collections arrive every Tuesday and the best time to go and shop at their stores are from Tuesday evening to Thursday to avoid the weekend shoppers. We went home with tired legs and feet and I also realized that we didn't buy anything from any of the 4 malls we've been... Hmmm... That's weird. Hehehe.

So yesterday, I went to the Great World City mall after going to the salon to still look for the DP dress. By this time, I've resigned to the idea that I may not be able to find it anymore. And as expected, I didn't. I also realized that there are only 2 DP stores I didn't visit and I'm too tired and exhausted to go to Tampines or find the direction for People's Park.

Oh well, I guess we're not meant to be. And I'm ok. 

I think I'm good at letting go and I'm not entirely sure if that's a good thing or a bad one...

On a different note, it's ok to turn down the guy asking you out while he is rinsing (and attending to) your hair, right? I figured if things go wrong, I think I can totally rock a short hair do! :p

The Elusive Dress

A bit sad... I went to 3 different Dorothy Perkins shop yesterday just to find this particular dress. I saw it first last Wednesday at Marina Square. It was the last piece for that particular design and it was my size. Unfortunately, there was something wrong with it so I chose not to buy it then. So yesterday, before going to our swimming lessons, I went to Wisma Atria to see if they have it at their branch but they don't. I figured, there are still at least 5 or so Dorothy Perkins in Singapore that I can go and visit. After swimming and the movie, we went to Plaza Singapura and we found it there, again last piece and my size. To my dismay, there was also something wrong with that piece. The girl at that branch was nice enough to call the Raffles City Mall branch to ask if they also have it, and they do! So we went there to check it out. For the 3rd time, it was the last piece and still my size. But the big "but" is, it is also not in a very good condition... :( For a dress that'll cost me a hundred bucks, I at least want it to be in the best condition. Sigh... 

I guess I'll be doing a "Singapore mall tour" later or the coming week just to find this elusive dress. 

Tiptoes

I told a friend that whoever thinks that the world revolves around them and that every Facebook comment they read is about them is either conceited or just plain paranoid. 

And I won't be tiptoeing for their sake.

Point made.

names names names...

The tips of my fingers still hurt from trying to play the guitar. I want to learn so I bought one last week (Yey!). My lesson started last Saturday and other than my fingers feeling numb, everything else was fun. I still need to practice though. Have to go home early to be able to do so. I remembered having a discussion with a friend regarding how people choose names for their cars or even guitars. She actually named her guitar Peachy, her reason being that the color of her guitar is pink and she didn’t like the name pink so she chooses something close which is, well, according to her, Peach. I also shared how my family’s lack of creativity is apparent on how we name our pets. We named our dogs, Doggie, Chacha and Donut. We used to have a cat named Pussy and my sister named my car Chevy (definitely a give away). So I am now wondering if I should name my guitar. And if I would, what will it be? Wanted it to start with S or T. I’m considering the name Tyke because I like the sound of it but I also like the name Aika because of what it means. Or I may opt not to name it at all… Hmmm… I guess I’ll wait awhile before deciding. I’ll wait awhile until a name feels right…

I’m getting busier by the week, and this time, it has nothing to do with work which is, for now, is a good thing.
