Toilet bowl and cut short shopping

You see, I have always wanted a full-blast shopping trip before my upcoming exam (the blood & the gut paper) in mid-December. So today, so randomly (why do I use the word 'random'?) I expressed my wish to my friend. My shopping list includes books, shoes for myself, Crocs for sis, socks and a few other things for my friends.

The biggest mistake I did before leaving for Midvalley was to offer the bathroom to my friend. The defective toilet! Yes, the one that made me one depressed girl. So after the toilet bowl mishap, we took some time analysing and trying to fix it.

My friend was so guilty because she knows how depressed I could be when little things like this sprout out. I tried my best to remain composed and calm because it was my fault never warning her about the defect in the first place. So it was 8.30pm by the time we reached the mall. Our stomachs started to rumble so we went to eat at the food court. We then took some time going around ACE hardware shop just to look for the spare part of the toilet.

By the time we were done, we went to MPH.

It took me quite some time to decide what books to buy for Meepit. I want to encourage her to read more. She hardly reads, except for her NILAM. When I was her age, I was busy burying my head in thick novels. If books like RL Stine's Fear Street, Francine Pascal's Sweet Vally Twins/High/Uni are familiar to you, yes, you belong to my generation. Before I was even halfway through, I heard the announcement that the shop was closing.

So, we quickly rushed for payment and left. To my horrors, all the other shops were closing too! I started to panic. I was not even half way through my shopping task. We rushed but was too late for Crocs. By the time we were there, the sales assistants were all coming out from the dark shop. I managed to see the sea foam pair on display. I was also shown the new range which has printed floral motives on them. I feel so bad. Sorry, Meepit!

We went into Jusco to find Coffee Lady bun for Trisha CK Wong but they were all sold out. Another mission unaccomplished. All the other shops were closed, except Starbucks. Tsk tsk. My friend wanted to buy Starbucks Java Chip frappuccino for Jason for being our stimulated patient.

I told her, "Hey, I want to chip in too, since I use his service too."

Sounds so wrong!! She kept laughing. Doink! I mean his SP service, lah!

Anyway, I took the opportunity to try the iced Toffee Nut Latte. Honestly, I can't differentiate which is which. I think the ideal toffee nut latte is probably the hot one who drink during a chilly winter. There goes my guilt of spending so lavishly on things that go through my gastrointestinal tract which would eventually add to more fats in the abdominal and the rest coming out eventually.

We reached home late to fix the toilet bowl again..
