... and for the wallet too.....

15 July Sat afternoon

Went Marina Square to collect my timing chip for tomorrow's Shape mag run....the booths themselves were not much to look at... Mary Chia and whoever's body contouring service....I should expect women who run don't need this? Anyway, this was my first trip there since the revamp and I love it!

Though I got a free Nike red "kick-up dust" tee (seen it in WOS before: about 40 bucks), I couldn't resist buying a similar (same colour) "excuse me" which I had eyed twice previously but didn't buy because of the price. Nike B.I.R.D sold it at 70% off and I happily lapped it up ..... the Nike spree continued with a nondescript shop at the basement with yet another tee and a cap selling at cheap, cheap prices......

Thought maybe I should stem the urge to buy and so sidestepped Mizuno & Planet Traveller. Bravely resisted buying another red Adidas tee at RSH.... same colour but the details at the back is more interesting than the two I bought.... with a fan-shaped mesh behind. Perhaps it's the regret of not buying thatI compensated at Fila's "70% off!" sale. Another 2 dry-fit tee were in the bag...but no regrets for this 'cos it costs only $9 apiece.... Ditto for the two HUGE bags I bought to house the purchases..... would come in handy to cart papers home to mark....

Guess I have to justify all those purchases by running everyday, hahaha.... wasn't thinking about the money, thanks to the bonus.... but I'm still glad that I live in the backwaters of Singapore far away from the money-sapping malls in town.

But the shopping was not all that frivolous....I bought a Nikon drybox for my Nikon bino. The sales guy still remembered which model I bought! Of course couldn't resist asking about my (not yet!) ED50....but they do not have stock.... luckily? For it suddenly struck me.....

How do I smuggle all the loot back without mum knowing?
