me and my shopping luck!

I've always been skipping the saturday class simply because i am am way too lazy and its super dupper early at 8am. Only attended twice so far.

BUT today....

I took the extra mile.

i woke up at 7am..
got ready.
and i went to...

...the Estee Lauder staff sale!!!! wEErEEEeeee...............

with mum and sis of course! cause i had 3 invitation cards!
It was suppose to start at 8am but when i arrived at 7.30, OMFG. The crowd was masive and i had to trail behind lines and lines to seek for the end of the queue..


At 7.45, the queue was already out of the Renaissance.
By 8.15, we made our way into the super dupper crowded ballroom.
i can hardly breathe inside.
I squeezed myself into the crowd and pop my head in occasionally to see what was on the long desk.
Grabbed as many things i could (potential ones).

The strategy for the day was to grab all potential stuff and only to filter them later on.
1 second does make a big difference.
Its like now you see, next sec you don't.
I had to say, i was pretty proud at my skills in eyeing on stuff and grabbing them at real fast speed. hohoho.

At about an hours later, i made my last round of squeezing to check if they replenish any new stuff, but no.They didn't.
My plastic bags was starting to tear.
I went around and stood among people who were filtering their stuff to see if i could grab any stuff i missed. Hehe... nothing much though..

Met up with mum and went to find ourself a spot to start filtering our items.
At about 10, we paid and left feeling like we won lottery, except that we didnt get any cash.


The last time we went to the same sale was 2 years back and if i'm not mistaken, we spent 1300.
The amount we spent this year? haha.secret. But all i can say is it's way more than that.

The sale only contributes to part of the happiness. The other part was when i grabbed a pair of skinnies at mng at a dirt cheap price.
The best things about the purchase; it was the 1 and only pair, the perfect price and exactly my size!
Last piece, low price, right size = MUST BUY!
So yup. Bingo. you've guessed it. I bought it.

I am not telling you the price in case you might wanna choke me after that.haha

When it told Veni about it earlier, she replied "YOU AND YOUR SHOPPING LUCK!"

I totally agree!!
