Thrift stores!

I did something that's on my list-of-wannados!
I went thrift shopping at Salvation army on friday!
:)

(My mum liked one of the bags and i decided to gif it to her :])
Bought 2 bags, some pretty writing pad + envelope and a reader's digest (consist of 4 novels).

Both the bags were $3 and $5, looks undamaged and rather new ar.
The writing pads were from this shop which i don't see anymore "Giftland" all priced at $1!
A reader's digest which cost only $2.
For the newer books they will cost $3.
But i go for the author, so i chose a book which has Nora Robert's stories :)

But for the clothes wise, i couldn't say the same.
For me, i don't tink i like the clothes as they have those old musty smells.
Well, they can be washed.
but i jus don't find them to my taste and also i can't deny its partly due to smells and dust.
i did see some branded jeans.
CK jeans, Lee and AX i tink.
They have plenty of gown and all.
But as i said, i didnt see much so more of that fact that i was in the bags n lil barang barangs sections.
Digging for treasures i shall say.
haha!

OH, and i saw a display item that cost $25.
was rather tempted to get sia.
It's a Flute metal display piece in a box.
There's plenty of other instruments if you would like to get them as a gift.
Too bad i didnt snap any photo of them.
But from my view, i tink they are rather detailed and unique cos i dun see them selling anywhere.
You can get instruments ranging from A french horn, guitar and down to a flute.
lol, didnt get cos of the price and because it's not something i need.

But pretty la. argh~

There were plenty of killer heels and shoes on display.
Some branded heels/shoes going for only $20 or $35.
why did i say $20 or $35 was cheap?
Cos they really look expensive though i forgot the brand.
I vaguely remember it started with L.
Liz claiborne?
Not sure, but i could be wrong.
nah, i didnt get cos it was too dressy and off my shoes budget.

pardon my unskillful shot

I spent $13 inclusive of 10% cos i joined the friends-of-salvation-army membership!
lol.
it was free and plus i had the time.
so why nt filled up the form and get some discount.
Spend around a few hours in there and it started to rain.
Thank god, me and bf bought umbrellas!

There were several other thrift stores around singapore if you like...

Pastel pink mood...

I'm feeling lazy...
reading fashion or DIY bloggies.
came across this.
love the Pink Ukulélé!

Changes

Making a big change in my life soon.
I felt that i make a correct desision.
Just pray hard that it wouldn't be diffcult.

Spending too much.
For my own good, i should control.
lol.
Recently I've been tempted by:
A metallic studded teddy bear long top ($15) and a pair of black leggings ($10 i tink) from Bugis street shopping with Sarah
A combo of a pair of blue jeans, Jacket and a long sleeved knitted top from Club Marc's 3 for $49 sale.
$29 Dorothy Perkin dark blue jeans - OG @ Chinatown while shopping with my cousin
2 handbags, a reader's digest and a bunch of letter writing pads from Salvation Army Thrift shop (Total was $13)
1 for 1 craft beads from People's park complex (I spend like water there... -.-''')
and etc i guess...
Cannot spend liao! i still owe my savings account for 2 months savings sia!
*faints*
been tempted to get a black studded cuff from Marina Square cos the one selling at Far East is like long gone.
guess it'll all have to wait den.


Busy doing craft nowadays.
This week just made a pair of earrings for my colleague and her cousin.
Just received a call from her this afternoon saying her cousin love it very much and visited my blog.
lol.
If its quite good, den why no business?
mmm.
Do you guys tink if i open business and sell my earrings...
i will get profit?
or will i have losses?
Sometimes i really wonder.

BTW!
How are you, my friends?

天秤座终极完美分析 (Libra personality analysis)

优雅的天平在灯红酒绿中微笑转身，顾盼神采，洒脱如同水中的鱼。他们与红酒，水晶杯，晚礼服，钢琴曲是那么的相得益彰，漫不经意的吸引着公众的眼光……

几乎所有人都有这样一种印象：

天平座的人善意、可亲，爱交朋友。于是大家也由此认为天平是群居生物，必然是害怕独处，喜欢热闹的。

但，事实并不是表面看来那样简单。

的确，天平是个和平使者。在公众场合可以很好地调节气氛使之均衡。气氛热烈时，他们会沉静的压住阵脚；气氛冷凝时，他们会运用不着痕迹的轻松幽默化解坚冰。总之他们不会随波逐流去助长气氛的冷热，而是像用天平称量物品一样，加减砝码，使之维持水平状态。

而他们在做这种加减的时候，动作是优雅的，态度是和悦的，看起来漫不经心不动声色。实际上，他们是很有心计的人，尽管众口难调，也可以找到一种万全的方式来使全局和谐起来。

但是这并不是说他们喜欢主宰，只是因为他们看不得失衡，那会使他们如坐针毡。

因此，尽管慵懒的天平座讨厌麻烦，讨厌得要命，他们还是会不由自主地担负起调节的责任。也许正因如此，使得天平在公众场合从未放松过自己。性格使他们承担了不必要的责任，无可推卸。

他们不吝惜金钱，却吝惜自由的时间和安静的休闲时光。像所有风向星座一样，他们喜欢自由，喜欢像风一样谁也捉不住他。

他们喜欢自在独立的空间。(*nods nods) 就算你是他最好的朋友，也不要老和他粘在一起，你要知道他并不喜欢如此，尽管他不会直接说出来。你也得相信，你的天平座朋友也许半年也没有音信，但是只要一见面，你还是他最好的朋友。因为他就是这种交友方式，你拿他怎么办？

“我懒得……”

这是天平座的口头语。他们懒得出门，懒得聚会，懒得应酬……所以他们并不是很喜欢参加party。倒是宁愿呆在家里上网，看书，画画。(agree!) 他们自身是均衡的，一个人的均衡总比一群人的均衡来的容易。所以他们喜欢独处。

通常，天平座的人会给人一见如故的感觉，因为他们有着温婉的微笑和优雅的举止。对初次见面的人，天平座往往表现出自己最讨人喜欢的一面：善解人意，大方，诚恳，健谈。但是这种热情劲儿不会长久。冷漠何时到来取决于你与他交往的频率。你越是粘得紧，他就冷得越快。因为他们喜欢“君子之交清淡如水”。不是他们不喜欢同伴，而是他们和人交往更多地关注了对方的情绪，总想着照顾对方心情，不要发生冲突，所以感觉像是在工作一样，无法真正的放松。

较之对宫白羊座，天平是另一种独立的个体。白羊是一种外在的独立，内心是热的；天平则是表面看似亲和力很强，内心却是任谁也无法融入的。天平的冷静，连他们自己也觉得惊讶。“我居然如此冷漠！太不可思议了……”他们审视自己的时候，感觉有点陌生。那是因为他们把内心世界掩饰得连自己都骗过了。

他们控制情绪的能力太强了。最亲近的人会感觉到，天平给人不露声色的隔离感，有时会被埋怨“太冷静了，我都不知道你在想什么！”

可是他们不是故意要隐瞒什么，只是出于本能。一个连自己都骗过了的人，你还能要求他对你坦白什么？

他们不喜欢歇斯底里，不喜欢痛哭失声，不喜欢安慰别人也不怎么喜欢被安慰。因为他们懂得，谁也无法真正理解另一个人。

天平，其实是很独立的一个星座。他们在霓虹灯影里微笑，在灯火阑珊处寂寞。他们叫你懂得：孤独的最高境界是繁华
 
The ending sounds so sad.
lol, but some points i agree~
Libra do not really like to parties, sometimes like to laze around at home.
=)
