i was at liang court, meeting a few friends just now. we had like a couple of glasses of sauvignon blanc by the poolside and i had to make a hasty retreat because the bookstore was closing soon.

i bought my financial calculator* three months back from kinokuniya, a japanese bookstore chain in singapore. and now its giving me problems. like what the fuck? that shit cost me like S$90 over and its giving me shit now?!?! gimme a break puh lease!!! it functions normally when you on it and do some calculations. but when you put it on the table, all hell breaks loose!! digits go missing, numbers start running here and there and sometimes, it totally shuts down! like omg!! anyway i went to the attendant to ask her for some help, she fiddled with the calculator for a while and then told me, "i'm sorry but we don't sell financial calculators. so i can't help you here." like what the fuck? thank God i lost the receipt months back. if i still have it, i'd go screaming at her! i freaking bought that darn thing over that darn counter at the darn store! i think she's just trying to escape from attending to me! fat loser! guess i'll just have to buy a new one then...

*just so you know, financial calculators DO exist! hahaha! the cool thing is, the calculator is able to calculate compounding interest with just a button. with that button, you can find out the Future Value of your assets, the Present Value, how much compounding interest you will earn and so forth. how cool is that!? well, its essential for me though! hahaha!

anyway after that kinokuniya ordeal, i went down to the Supermarket, Meidi Ya, at basement 1. its a japanese supermart, so don't expect anything cheap. But the item i am about to mention to you later is pushing my boundaries to the limits! 5 pieces of apple sized sweet potatoes for S$25. what the FISH??? i can get them for like S$2 with potatoes of identical weight at Fairprice!! i didn't know until the person weighed it and scanned it into the register. my jaw is still on the floor of the supermart, i think. can't find it anywhere.

forget that shit. what's done is already done. no point crying over spilt milk. when i was doing grocery shopping, i called kenan, asking him what he'd like for the week's meals. he said since i'm going on a 7 day detox, he might as well join in the wagon. so i said okay, fine. i'll buy just vegetables then. i was contemplating on the two large bottles of Perrier. sparkling water with some lemon is oh so yummy on a hot day! thank goodness i did not buy them. the veggies by themselves were rather heavy and add on my Prada workbag, Heavens! Hell is pulling my arms down!! maybe i'll go back someday to buy those two bottles.

i hope i have enough veggies to last a week. i don't wanna do marketing anymore. the problem with living near the premier shopping belt is that, even if you just wanna pop to the supermart to buy some stuff, you'll have to jolly well dress up. because if not, you'll get stares from the assistants in the chi chi boutiques. its really a chore. its no more a luxury okay! seriously, no joke.

• acuvue dailies moist 6 boxes
