the past week has been crazzzyyyy. feel so drained from doing the work for mmtp and vainpot. have been replying emails and comments and packing parcels all week, then had a one-day ultra super duper exhausting sourcing trip with tricia, and saturday and sunday night were spent at vainpot preparing for the upcoming sale! MADNESS. oh, and my family was hosting our housewarming parties on both saturday and sunday as well.

anyway, i know/hope the vainpot's upcoming sale will be freaking awesome cos of the effort we have put in to prepare for the sale! and the discounts this time are damn good as well.
for our private sale on 30may, apart from the 25% storewide discount, our mailing listees and VP's facebook fans will also get to enjoy $10 off their purchases if the total bill exceeds $60! and from 31may to 29july, everyone will still enjoy the 25% storewide discount!


25% discount might not sound massive, but it makes all the clothes/shoes/bags we are selling AWESOME BARGAINS, cos our prices are low to begin with, as compared to most other shops along Haji Lane and retail shops in singapore in general!
say, you buy three $34.90 dresses. that will be ($34.90+$34.90+$34.90) x 75% - $10 = $68.50. that's like, $22.80 for each dress??!! AWESOME RIGHT?

oh, and we are not only putting the older designs on sale, we have imported 60 new designs (not including the different colours we may have for each design) specially for the sale, to be released only on 30 may 7pm onwards. and we will be topping up new designs every week and these new arrivals will also be on sale!

here are some of my favs among the new arrivals we imported:



seriously, you have to come for the sale at Vainpot! it'll be awesome and you'll be spoilt for choice! i'm so excited for it, can't wait for tmr! :D
see you guys there!

hello again. went for the Nokia event for the new Lumia 610 the other day at group therapy (a cafe) and it was good! they provided so much food and it was a nice cosy event!
anyway, as some people will know, i'm quite a loner, and so i was so super glad that yina also went for the event! stole this pic from her:


the first thing we did when we reached the place was go straight to the food. come to think about it, we must have looked really hungry/greedy :S we started eating quite a bit - the quiche and duck salad were really good - and by the time the event started we were full!  the thing is, after the nokia person introduced the new lumia 610, we were told by the organisers that it was time for dinner! yina and i were super shocked - we thought that the quiche and salads were our dinner already and we were so full by then! BUT of course, how could we miss out on good food right? i said to yina "see lar, told you don't eat so much just now already... just now was just starters and we ate so much already....", but a few seconds after saying that we went for our second meal in 1h, and had pasta, soup and blahblahblah. being cheapo meant that i had to try a bit of everything, including all the desserts - really eat until can puke. thinking back, i'm so thankful that my XS topman denim shirt didnt burst.

anyway, i feel like i should talk a little about the phone as it's really quite an awesome phone! who knows, i might be a good famous tech blogger in future, and people would come to my blog for good advice/reviews on phones, cameras and other gadgets. (still dreaming about being a famous blogger, you might have realised.)

one thing that struck me the most is how affordable the Lumia 610 is! for singtel users, it's just $48 with iOne Plus contract (the cheapest $25.68/month plan), and $0 with most other mobile subscription plans.  and the phone is just $379 without any plan! it's probably the cheapest smartphone in the market right now, and i would say it might just be the best deal! the phone is really user-friendly (almost dummy-proof) and it has everything that i would need in a phone (you could download all your apps just like iPhone) and it has a 5mp camera! to be extremely honest, i can't think of anything that i need/use currently (on my current iPhone 4S) that cannot be found/gotten with the lumia 610.
for more info: (i stole this from nokia's website)


i would give this phone a 9/10 taking into account everything! i think it would be perfect for anyone on a budget (esp young students who are getting their first phones - but then again, i notice that many young primary school kids are getting expensive phones like iPhones and the Samsung Galaxy phones these days.........kids these days........), or anyone who is getting a smartphone for the first time, or just anyone who loves a great deal!
