Wow, finally reach home le. Haha. Been out the whole day busy with...

SHOPPING!

Went to look for my grad night clothes.
I was successful in geting something sensible for less than S$100! So happy! Thought i would exceed S$150 mark, but hey, i know where to get good bargains ya?
Oh ya, before i rattle on, i got a jacket and a long sleeve top. Pants wise... shall look around first. Shall deciding whether to use my old one(hey, it is still in good shape. Old as in i bought it long ago) or get a new one.

To those still looking for prom/grad night clothes... here are some tips.
1) Decide on what you want to wear first.
2) Plan out your budget first.
3) Do not go to those high end shops like Topman/Topshop etc. Look around in Bugis Street, The Edge and Far East Plaza.
4) Buy clothes that you know you will wear it again and see whether it can apply to other similar occasions in the future. No point buying it and after wearing it once, left it in the cold.

Normally the places i recommend have what you would need for prom/grad night and they are way cheaper than those high-end shops. From accessories to jackets to shoes, you want it, they have it! And they go easy on your pockets too. But remember to look hard though. Some bargains are hidden.

Another tip i have is:
While looking around, shortlist some clothes you confirm want to buy and remember where the shop is. Than look around the whole area and see whether got other shops that got sell the same or similar clothes to the one you want. Than of course, buy from the shop that sell it at a cheaper price.

I saw 2 tops i wanted to buy but i decided to look around first. It proved to be both a good and bad choice.

Bad choice is because the top i most wanted to buy is the only piece in the area, in this case, Bugis Street. When i returned back to the shop, it was... GONE!!! Aargh! I was so mad and sad. Shall not talk about it anymore or else i will just throw this keyboard out of the window.

Good choice is because the second top i want to buy has two pieces in Bugis Street. The first shop sell it at $39 while there was another shop which sell it at $35. $4 difference! Got to get it straight away or else history will repeat again. Of coz, as a typical Singaporean, a little bargaining won't die right? But, i got to admit, i have LOUSY bargaining skills. Final price? S$33.

Okay, enough about clothes. Although i have the clothes, but i lack... SHOES!
I seriously do not want to buy shoes specially for grad night as i guess i won't be wearing it in the short future. Anyone can help me?
