The long weekend started yesterday with the opening of the Beijing Olympics and right here in Sunny Singapore, I was busy with work in the morning and then headed off to town for a movie and some serious watch shopping in the afternoon. Tried to cash in on the discounts offered by some department stores to get a discount on 2 watches I've been eyeing but one of the models was out of stock. The SO was very patient and went to other stores with me to try to get the 2nd piece but to no avail.
So, today I decided to try my luck and go down to another outlet and viola! It was available at a discounted price and I was very happy to pay for it and finally get to own my 2nd Fossil Time piece. I'm a believer that one should pay for good quality watches and after years of owning expensive and cheapo $15 watches, I've decided that the former is better choice. The quality is there, it never runs out of style, the battery life is endless (my 1st Fossil is 3 years old and the battery is still going strong!) and of course, the design is really great.
Currently I have 6 watches to my collection - 2 DKNY pieces, 2 Fossil, 1 Swatch, 1 Precious Moment (I know, I know, who buys Precious Moments watches right? I didn't - It was a gift and a very nice one in fact!)
I have 2 more to add to my collection - 1 for sports / outdoor activities (can't be wearing my leather strap watches right?) and a Gold one for dinners / functions to match my outfit. These will come later I guess cos I have no urgent need for them and obviously, I need to save more money after spending like $400+ this weekend.
On a curious note, it's now 5:20pm as I sit in my room to blog this entry and the National Day Parade pre segment starts at 5:45pm. I'm curious because the skies are really dark and a heavy downpour looms (i can hear some thunder in the background too). From what I remember, it has NEVER rained on National Day except in 1966 where PM Lee was a Catholic High standing in the rain with his whole band. I always figured that the government does cloud seeding each year cos it's terrible for it to rain obviously..how can the parade go on? So, I'm really amazed by this year's poor weather ( is it a sudden storm from neighbouring countries?)..I will be tuning in on Channel 5 soon to see what happens.
Gonna be interesting. Poor weather man and parade commander. Must be very stressed now..heee.
HAPPPPIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE National Day everyone!
ENJOY!
