10 june ---Bugis trip with BY!~
Okies, as u can see it's another backtracking entry, no time to blog previously..

Our aim was to do hair extensions in Bugis Street, BY wanted hot pink extensions (she's really into hot pink punk hair) while i was looking for blonde and brown extensions. At $1 per small bunch, i think it isn't too expensive, considering 6-8 bunches are enough to make the colour stand out and shine through.

We were both late (as usual?) haha... I messaged her when my train's at Tanah Merah, then she replied that she's in Dover... I reached slightly earlier than her, cos there's fewer stops from Tanah Merah to Bugis =p

Headed to Mos Burger as BY was craving for the veggie wrapped juicy burger, she has had it 2 days in a row!
After that, we walked to the National Library as BY still had no idea who's the guy from our econs class who got charged in court no matter how hard i try to describe him. So i figured out that seeing his picture in the newspaper might jolt her memory.. Hehe..
Waited for people to finish reading the english newspapers, but one person picked up the papers at the table after another finished reading =x So we tried to ask an uncle to let us take a look at The Straits Times prime section for just a short while. The uncle replied '要看一面五毛钱' We were like dots... But he still kindly let us have a read & upon seeing the picture, BY went 'oooh...' Then we returned the papers to that uncle. That uncle was like '这么快哦!' Yeah.. we're 乖孩子.. we don't lie~

After borrowing a stack of comic books from National Library (that library has a large collection of comic books!~) we left for Kinokuniya as i wanted to buy Xiaogui's book. I took a couple of pics of the book, shall upload and talk abt it the next time^^

We shopped around Bugis Street for around 3h.. it's quite short actually~~ But somehow i managed to buy a lot of things. haha.. BY helped to carry my shopping bags for awhile and she's so comfortable with carrying them that she forgot those bags were mine. LOL. She even thought that she bought a lot of things, until i reminded her that she hasn't bought any (-.-''')
And what's more, she said 'Thank you' when she handed the bags back to me, i was like 'HUR? i thought i'm the one who's supposed to thank her & not the other way round??!'

Me with my shopping bags aka 战利品for the day~

When i reached home, i realised that what i'd bought can make up an entire outfit!~
With a shirt, mini skirt, shoes and knee length socks^^

Talking abt knee length socks..
Kenna cheated by the shop's auntie, kept saying the shops downstairs (with special mention of CATZ) sell stuff at more expensive prices. When we walked by CATZ, i purposely backtracked to check out the prices of similar types knee length socks. Walau eh!!!! They sell at $10 only lorh.. much cheaper than that shop upstairs. WTH. WTF. Don't wanna go back to that shop to buy again!!!
Saw nice skirts at another shop downstairs, similar type of mini skirts (jap punk style with lace deco) like those we bought from the shop upstairs, selling at $15 each! Alamak! The ones we bought cost $39 and after slashing prices (BY's 强项) came to $36. I bought the first skirt that caught my eye... That's what i call一见钟情haha..
BY was stuck in a dilemma over 2 skirts. Coincidentally, she also had dresses made from the same fabric as those 2 skirts. One's a checkered pink-black-gold skirt (same as her lolita dress) and another's a jap style inspired flowery skirt (according to BY who went to Japan a few months back, this type of prints is/was quite popular in Japan). Haha.. She bought both eventually. Those 2 are too short for me, so i don't even need to think..

BY bought several clip-on extensions from another shop. Super nice but it's too expensive for me -$66... Though it can last for more than half a year, cos it's clip-ons, can remove and put on as and when you like.


That's what she looked like after her long black curly extensions. Aiya.. Too bad i didnt take a picture before that. If not can show the BEFORE AND AFTER shots. Haha..
She wants to 走温柔路线by choosing curls over straight hair.. Then all of a sudden, she asked the salesgirl whether they have got pink ones. The salesgirl was stunned for a split second, then replied 'eh... don't have.' I was like 'dots? thot she wanted to be温柔淑女?' She needs to tone down her punk rock inclinations then~~

So in the end i didnt get my extensions done, next time perhaps, now i know where's the shop located in those easy-to-get-lost-maze-like walkways of Bugis St level 1~~


Cloud doesn't really know why..
But she has been going to Bugis on a frequent basis recently..
More posts coming up!~
