shopping day!

the very first thing that greeted chenghui, ziqian and me at paya lebar was... RAIN. it's been raining almost nonstop for a week now, and the rain this afternoon was so heavy that we decided to take a cab to city plaza. the cab fare was $3, which is omfg how near is that.

but yes, trust me. the weather was waaay bad.

surprisingly, it was chenghui who has been to city plaza before! haha. ziqian and i had never been there. here they are walking, and


a kickass outfit! what better an ensemble than a high neckline cotton tank with a denim miniskirt and faux leather tights, i really know not.

HA.

i am a mannequin, you are a mannequin,

we are mannequins mannequins

manic queen!

a rare snapshot of chenghui smiling to the camera! i had to make him laugh before i managed to get this shot.

while i was working very hard looking for clothes, chenghui and ziqian went to look at mahjong tiles! oh my goodness. i dont even like it ok! not that i know how to play mahjong. but that's another story~

the 3 of us! haha. time flew quickly because we were trying our best to sieve through the truckloads of seen-to-death-passe clothes to get at the really good and worthy buys.

did you know, they sell the cottony cottony stuff by the BUNDLE. i was how shocked ok. they looked like potato chips, not items of clothing supposedly special and unique and all.

here is ziqian and me getting all excited over our first buy of the day, a long peasant skirt!

the image is blurry as we ponder the value of the buy...

things become clearer to me as i decide that it is worth it...

and ziqian gets a moment of clarity as she falls in love with it too!

haha.


for a first time, i'd say that the trip down was not bad, there were nice things and we had good buys. i hope our decision to go towards the high-end works out! after all, it is more efficient to differentiate our products so price undercutting is not an issue. AND with more money coming in we can fundddd our funnnn projectssssss.

it is yayness.

back to today: after we shopped, we went to singpost foodcourt for dinner! ziqian just got a drink because she (doesn't like us) was meeting her rommate back in hall.

(we dont like her too!)

( haha)

chenghui posing with his bowl. he ate his curry yong tau fu so fast there wasn't anything left by the time this was taken!

ziqian with her drink!

all in all, it was a good first outing because we got nice clothes and more potential ones coming and contacts for future collaborations! chenghui was saying that ziqian and i are probably going to be the biggest customers. HA

i also just got an update from mingyang about the wsc camp; there's going to be a lot of interaction for the camp participants with our beneficiaries and each other, and there will be a fright night!! haha. i know it is common, but the idea of us going to help out at a fright night based on a storryyyyyy is scaryyyyy.

psst.

(i am scared of fright nights)

on a different note, tomorrow is the joint dance concert! ahh, what with all this shopping for money to further social causes, and dancing for the love of dance, i can hardly wait. who knows what tomorrow brings? i hope there are many smiles and bundles of joy for you and you and you!

p.s. we will be taking the pictures for the online shop on thursday. i'm so psyched!
