Shop 'Till I Drop

I went to Houston for the first time... Did I go sightseeing? Nooo.... Did I even venture to go to NASA? Nooo...

And where did I go? SHOPPING AT FACTORY OUTLETS!

*YAYYYY!!!!*

EeeYuh. So irritating.

Coach factory outlet store... 50% off the original price! *gasp* How to resist................ Look.. its obviously not my fault right?

Blame the damn stores for putting on such price tags. *point*

We rented a nice big town car, punched out our destination on the GPS, screamed at the GPS coz we didnt know how to use it... and I prayed silently in my heart coz the designated driver was only 23... but thank God he was a pretty steady driver. ;p

After countless illegal U-Turns and more prayers in my heart... we reached our destinations safely, shopped happily, and returned the car (and ourselves) in one piece. :)

Yee Ha!

Yes, its the obligatory American breakfast at IHOP for our much needed strength to lift shopping bags. :)


Our car boot full of our booty! (pun intended) ;p And I must say.. the car boot was really huge.. so you can imagine the number of bags there are in there!


50% OFF LEH!!! *sigh* :)


A pink coin purse for my Jie.. I tot it looked so sweet. :)

Keys to My Heart. ;) A new keychain for my new house! I told Jem I want him to buy it for me.. So I will just claim back the money when I'm back home. heehee. I know.. I'm Shy-less. ;p

And in return... I bought handsome cufflinks from Calvin Klein for him. Make sure you don't lose it this time!!!! ;p
.
I will be home in two days time for Chinese New Year... God I can't wait to get home.
.
*wipe tear*
.
Maybe I shop so much to fill a void in my life.
.
Oh wat the hell. *Digs a bigger hole* :)
.
Gong Xi Fa Cai everyone!!!

The Big Chill

I landed in Beijing to -13 C weather.

IT WAS FREEZING COLD!

It was so cold that our breath was coming out in clouds as we spoke while we were standing around in the airport.

And I think we had to all check if our nipples were still in place after the brief run to the bus... *peek*

;p

Now I'm typing this is -5 C Moscow... Everything is blanketed in snow..

I walked out alone for awhile yesterday.. and as usual I was smiling to myself and scooping up handfuls of snow just to squish it into snowballs..

After braving Beijing weather... -5 seems quite warm.. ;)

Oh and we have one of the prettiest bathrooms in Beijing! Nice big windows and lovely rain showers... :)

Thank God for warm baths to defrost.

I finally did my photoshoot!!! :)

I sucked in my tummy and arched my back so much that I ended up with a muscle ache in my abs!

Sheesh.

Who knew taking photos could be such a workout..

And a tip to all future brides.... Bring along a girlfriend whom you are so comfortable with! Why?? Coz she has to hold up your massive wedding dress, follow you to the toilet and hand toilet paper to you.. and... help u flush coz you cant turn around in the teenie cubicle.

So.. THANK YOU RON!

Heeheehee. *HUG*

Lets hope I don't end up looking like an idiot in the pictures. I think I just might.

(PS: Jem looked so handsome in his suit. HEEHEEHEE *gush*)
