Challenge

Yesterday was a test of patience.

I was supposed to meet Sheryl and Sue in town to go present hunting for our dear Bernice's 21st birthday present. We'd plan to meet at 5pm but at 4pm, Sue sms-ed me and told me they'll be early and will reach Orchard by 4.45pm. But I was still getting ready.

Rush rush rush.

Then at 4.15pm, as I was still walking to the darn far MRT station, I received another sms. The girls were already at Taka.

Walking faster.

Got to the station but noticed something was wrong. The entrance to the station was completely blocked off. There, on the glass, was pasted this sign:

The train service from Serangoon to Sengkang is down. Please proceed to take a shuttle bus B from across the road to Serangoon MRT station.

WTF??!!!

Thus, I had to backtrack and cross the road to the otherside, only to get on a sardine-packed bus with aunties and uncles yelling for the people at the back to 'moooooovvveeee innnn la!!!'

After a gruelling 15 minutes ride, I finally reached Serangoon. Something was amiss though. I expected the large horde of people to scuttle towards the station, but no. Anyhow, I proceeded to the station and realised that the entire NEL line was not functioning.

!#$%^&*!#$%^!^#$*#*&#%!!!!!

I was stranded at Serangoon with no bus to town. No MRT. Pissed, tired and hungry. I ended up having to take a long bus ride to Toa Payoh before getting on to the train to town. To rub salt in the wound, they had to show Jamie Oliver on TV mobile.

After much 'adventure', I finally got to my destination.

Then we realised that there was a whole list of forbidden stuff we were not supposed to get for Bernice.

No accessories, no bags, no doggy stuff...........

Fret not!

Because it's a good thing that when 3 girls come together with a common mission - shopping, we get things done quickly and efficiently.

After setting sight on something really chic and appropriate (can't say what or it might spoil the surprise), we ran from store to store, outlet to outlet, to get the exact piece we wanted. It was so nice I'd have gotten it for myself if not for the fact that I'm on a budget.

To celebrate our successful quest, we headed to Pepper Lunch for a sumptious and rewarding meal! Oiishi!

But the worst was yet to come.

After bidding our goodbyes, I made my way to Heeren to look for something really important. I lost the little girl on my handphone that my best friend got for me from Japan!!! *wail*

Sorwee Gracey :(

There was only one place that could possible have that accessory so I was hoping I'd be able to find the exact same one, although chances were extremely low, since I got that years ago.

Much to my dismay, they don't have it!!

Boohooohoooo.....

I'm devastated.
