♥ outing with ah toe...
i had a great disappointment with the camera bought at Harvey warehouse on Saturday..
after discussing with JK, he decided to accompany me to harvey n do an exchange for another model.. and Deng Deng.. i've top up $80 for a reasonable quality camera... Sony Cybershot W180..
yeah! i m sure this camera is so much better.. i've tested the smile detection function n its great!
pics up later...
bought shoes at schu again at 70% off.. yeah
also had Kenny rogers muffin n their sides sampler... i love it!
snapple iced peach tea was refreshing...
the most happiest thing of the day is to receive Baby G as bday present from Jee kwang..
its not jus a simple watch.. its e model which i lost it some yrs ago..my most favorite watch.
I still remember i gt my first Baby G at City Chain after PSLE 12 yrs ago...
at that time, most of my gal friends already wearing BabyG when they were primary 2 and when i finally persuaded mum to own myself a piece, i was already primary 6.
I bought it with my savings and at tt time most of the Baby G were more than $100 n City Chain was having promotion for this model BAby G-Cool and it came with many colors @$99 only.
I still remember when i finally set my foot with Daddy to get my watch, many colors already sold out.. i was only left with e white and blue n another color.. and so i chose the white with blue ring..
For many yrs this Baby G was with me.. all the way to secondary school , junior college and finally polytechnic when i was attached with my bf. Although the watch become yellowish and ugly and even the leather strap tore... I managed to find a plastic/rubbery white strap to match with my watch so i could continue to wear it..
And then, JeeKwang bought me a second Baby G as he knew i always love baby G.. and soon i neglected my first watch... and hang it on my bag..
And one fine day, when I carry my bag i realised the watch was gone...tt was abt 4 yrs ago
i din even know when i dropped it...
i was very upset by the loss of my favorite watch, as it had been with me for e longest...Although i carried on to own a second Baby G and finally the third last yr, but i was constantly reminded my my lost watch.
n after keeping the box till last yr, i decided to throw the box away as it reminded me of my carelessness.
About 2 yrs ago, i happen to pass by a watch shop in Bras Basah and went in.. the shop looked old n had some old watches. there were many old wtach designs in his glass cabinet and i still remember seeing cockroaches crawling in e display and also some watch straps already melted. i felt really disgusted and i thought i saw my watch design with rotten leather.
Last mth when Jk and me went to Lucky plaza, i passed by another old watch shop with many old BabyG designs but did not find my one...
And so recently, i had a urge to go back to e bras Basah shop n buy e watch... i told Jee Kwang abt it...
he was nice enough to offer to buy it for me, although i din know if they still have it after 2 yrs...
and so he accompanied me to the shop..Before i step in, i realise the shop had revamped. a tinge of disappointment hit me immediately when i stepped in n saw only parker and fountains pens and no more crawling cockroaches.
I told e uncle i want baby G and he pointed me to the latest models..
I shook head and told him i was looking for an old model.. he then led me to one corner outside the shop and pointed the old Baby G he had.. which was abt 20-30 of them... but none was the one i am looking for... they were all packed in rectangle box. I probed the uncle tt e one i was looking for had a spaceship-like box and he shook his head...
i then bent my head lower and saw something smiling at me...
ARhhhh... my one and only... lying horizontally and camouflaging itself among a bunch of ugly watches, it smiled at me...
i pointed n screamed(not v loudly).. the uncle quoted me $180 after staring at the price tag which wrote "special offer $238"
after much negotiated, the uncle was only willing to release it at $150bucks..
although i had e budget of buy at $50, i wanted it so badly and JK generously paid for it...
the watch was working normally after the uncle changed its battery...
Its e exact model i saw 2 yrs ago.. although this one is white with purple ring, but the shop uncle had e synthetic leather strap almost intact... but expectedly after so many yrs, when i bent the watch n try to wear, i could see the strap already cracked.
but i love it so much.. i wont want to wear it again, because i am afraid of losing it one more time...
