I went shopping today with Xinyi and it was FUN!

Especially the look on her face...mwahaha.

The day started off with her arriving at my house and me being ten minutes late. We later had an argument about going to Tampines(Take bus 31!) Me:(No! Take bus to Paya Lebar then take MRT! Faster! Time is money!)

I won (ok, cheated) by dragging her bodily to the other bus stop. The males who were deep in conversation looked up in surprise to see a girl stylishly dressed dragging another slender girl, obviously struggling.

Somehow along the way we discussed torture methods and I was about to make use of my extensive knowledge on it when she balked and refused to listen anymore. (It's science! I insisted.)

We then took the MRT to Tampines and was walking to the exit gates when, horrors of horrors, Xinyi found her wallet missing!

She thought it was some guy who pick pocketed her and I was about to dash after the guy, swearing and bringing down the law on him, when Xinyi, still looking calm, called her mother.

In the end, lunch was, sadly, my 'treat'. Ok, technically it wasn't, I was just lending her money for the day (Yes, I'm a loan shark, so owe me money....pray for yourself)

I dragged her shopping, examining the long necklaces with delight when she asked me whether I was ok or not.

I glared at her and pulverised her to a pile of human goo, and frostily replied that I behave like this when I'm shopping. (Ok, I didn't. But I did send a very painful kick up her shin while examining the necklaces.)

We then went to Century Square. Gosh, that place is better then Tampines Mall any day.

Glancing down at my overlarge and childish shoes, I decided that I needed to get a pair. I found some I liked at BATA, but unfortunately it cost $24+.

So we went to the ladies department and I relaxed in the toilet (it has a sofa! Nice!) while Xinyi did her necessities.)

We then went to a nice retail outlet called Mondo, and she told me about a pair of bimbotic shoes she saw her friend wearing. Apparently it was pink (I winced, but dug into my ice cream) has two fluffy pom-poms at the front and back (I balked) and also has shiny hearts littering the sides of the shoes. I felt my ice cream rise to the front on my throat. I contemplated stamping HARD on her toes but decided not to as I needed her opinion on the shoes.

We found a nice brown pair. And it was $19.90 too! In my excitement, I mistook another customer as a sales lady and was asking her to get me a new set when Xinyi pointed out to me that she wasn't a saleslady.

Oops. Xinyi whacked me on the head with her pink bag and I stuck out my tongue as a sign of rebellion. "Note to others: Never wear a black polo in front of Chanel or she'll mistake you for a sales assistant," I heard her mutter.

I wanted to murder her but decided that it would take too much effort concealing the dead body. We then found the RIGHT salesgirl and I was confused as to how to make sure the shoes fit, so I asked Xinyi.

"How the heck do I know? You're more experienced at it, remember?" My reply was that I don't shop for shoes. Ever. Really. The last time I was forced to go shopping for shoes was last year, October.

I made my purchase and wandered about the shop, looking at other shoes, when I noticed a sign on a rack of shoes. It said: Special offer! $9.90!

My heart made a ping as it shattered into a million pieces when I realised I spent $10 for naught. Xinyi had to drag me bodily from the rack as she said I looked very pale, and that we hadn't seen anything. She bade adieu to the shoes.

Recovered, I paid and bounced off happily to the accessories shop. I gawked over the design of the necklaces(Ingenious commoners! Nah. Joking. Get a sense of humour!) while Xinyi turned her attention over to the rack of sterile earrings.

I could only stare wistfully as she held each one up to her ear. I want to pierce! Anyway, she almost had a cardiac arrest when she saw the price of some earrings ("$7? So expensive?" she squawked. I decided to refrain from telling her that my diamond pendant cost around $60. Small diamond.)

We ended up shopping for the right earrings and she borrowed $6 to buy an exquisite set. Now she's $21 in my debt. Mwahahahaha....

It was four when we finished. A young lady approached us and asked us to fill in a survey form. I did give my real name, and she asked me how old I am. I asked her to guess. She said I was Sec. 3.

*Gets shot in head*

Do I look so old?!

Xinyi was snickering away and I delivered another kick to her shin, injuring her more. I smiled sarccharinely at the girl and did the survey form. Actually, it was the type of survey that asks you which do you place first, religion before friends, etc, etc. I placed Monetary status as first. Be realistic, you can't survive in this dog-eat-dog society with no money.

hopped onto the bus. I had to lend her a dollar for the ride. It turned out to be $1.50 actually, but then I was out of small change. Some lao ah pek with a very bad attitude (the bus driver) told her RUDELY that "if you get caught, it's not my problem".

His bus is SBS 876 B. So much for the GEMS campaign (Go the Extra Mile for Service), as we can see it's USELESS on certain people. Bah. Just because we're young doesn't mean we don't deserve respect! Fucking ageist.

I told her how I would destroy a person who pisses me off (Destroy him financially, crush his reputation, give him humiliation and mark his name in the black books) Xinyi said I was cruel, but apparently that was the tactic Lee Kwan Yew used on his enemies, he sued them until they didn't have a cent.

Woo hoo. I'm a pioneer, and an evil dictator.

Besides, Xinyi said he's retired and if we boot him out of this job, he won't have another, giving his bad attitude.

Hmm. True. But haven'tyou heard? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Sure, I'm not a woman yet, but I'm a female. We might not be prominent actors in a play, but we pull the strings behind the scenes. Without us, the play would go crashing down.

Which is why. When I'm successful later in my life, don't. Piss. Me. Off.

Though I'm more of the inmpulsive type, I do know the importance of material wiles in this world.

What can I say? I'm materialistic. Deal with it.
