Wee progress

A little routine is formed, after 12 weeks

My first foray into my initial love

Had some Robinsons vouchers to spare (courtesy of my ex-colleagues) so off I went to spend it and what better way to do it than to buy some jewelry.

And so I spent a nice afternoon with Sheryl who very nicely intro and explained to me what jade is and etc and at the end I got this little peach (I think, that's what it is...) or radish???

 

This will be my baby steps into owning some of my favourite gems.  Jade and Pearls.

I know, very auntie but I like gems that gives an understated elegance to it rather than blaring it out for all to see, not to say that I don’t own any bling but sometimes you just want to be quiet instead of shouting out to the world

见或不见-一个仓央嘉措情诗

Heard this chinese poem in one of China’s period drama and it strikes a cord. 

Here is a little background of the poet who wrote it.  I think it supposedly should be more spiritual in meaning but well, the romantic kind works better for me:

见或不见
    

你见，或者不见我
我就在那里不悲不喜
你念，或者不念我
情就在那里不来不去
你爱，或者不爱我
爱就在那里不增不减
你跟，或者不跟我
我的手就在你手里不舍不弃
来我的怀里或者
让我住进你的心里
默然　相爱
寂静　欢喜  

Part where the poem was read

Counting down…..

I don’t know why I subject myself to this stupid torture every week.  But nevermind.  The light at the end of the tunnel is coming nearer.  Just 2 more weeks to go and I’ll be home free!!!!  Yeah free of the mental torture that I had to pay for!  Pissed off!

Totally makes no sense to pay money to stress and let ppl do that to my mental health!  No sense at all!

My first Tag purchase

Was notified of the sale event by a dear friend.  Though I knew that I had to go early but was stuck at work.

Alas when I reached, I was one of the last customers to enter and all the enviable models were long gone.

The sales staff (many of whom were boutique managers of sorts) said that queue started forming as early as 8am!

Was salivating after the Tag Heuer’s Monaco but it was not to be.  It had apparently, sold out by 10 am.

To cut the story short, after hemming and hawing, I decided to get this:

The Aquaracer 2000 series

They only had the gents size but that is ok.  Cos I love big watches.  After a 50% discount, I can say that it is a pretty good buy

Slowly and surely, I am making my way up to a Rolex (I hope)

Happy that there finally is a Paul Frank shop in Singapore!!
