Time to brush the cobwebs off the face of this blog. It’s been such a long time since I last posted an entry that my browser’s auto-complete entry for my blog’s administration page has been removed automatically. I even missed my customary entry from Taoyuan International Airport just before I boarded the plane. Anyhow, for those of you who still don’t know where I am, please go read the title of this post.
Got back last Friday, 28 September. And since my parents were in town for the night, we went on a frenzied shopping trip to Sim Lim Square, Takashimaya, Apple Store at Wheelock and Tampines Mall. All that on top of a lack of sleep because of the early rise in the morning to catch a plane. And had an not-too-embarrassing experience at the Apple Store. More about that later. Had a pretty fruitful day actually, although I reached home feeling quite tired. And had to wake up early next morning again to accompany my parents to the airport. Yeah, so by early Saturday morning, a super duper lack of sleep.
About that not-too-embarrassing experience at Apple Store. Well, my dad wanted to purchase the iPod Classic for my sister. So we went there and found out that UOB card members had 10% discount. And since these kinds of promotions also applied to debit cardholders from the same bank, we got Debbie to come down as she had a UOB debit card. Lo and behold, the promotion was strictly for CREDIT cardholders only. And I had actually started filling out a form for purchasing the iPod and then I had to tell the salesperson sorry but don’t want already. All because of the 10% discount. But then a 10% discount of $428 is quite a lot lah… Oh well….
Enough about that experience. On to a happier one. I purchased my first-ever piece of clothing from Timberland. A nice little jacket to tide me over the colder months in Taipei and it’s courtesy of the company. Has an inner-lining that can be separated from the outer shell and each of it can be worn individually. So all in all, a very nice jacket and I very proud of it. Haha…
Headed back to Taipei again this Sunday. Sigh… I really don’t want to go but then again, at this point in time, I don’t really have a choice. Shall not and don’t want to dwell on it.
Off to work… Until the next time, cheers… :Þ
