0R vs 0P
Wat m i toking abt? Clothes sizing, that's wat!
Who knows the right answer to this qn - wat does 0R and 0P represent?
I've been baffled for a couple of yrs since the 1st incident when i came across these 2 sizing for a pair of pants. Apparently, the sales staff at a few particular high-fashion houses in Orchard Road shd be flogged for not knowing their basics. They could only tell me "0P is smaller than 0R". Huh! I also know that by comparing them together. But wat does it represent?
Finally, finally, the sales staff at BR shed the light. Bravo! R for Regular and P for Petite.
Haiyah... i shd hv made the connection myself when i browse-shop online at US stores.
Now, i've finally found a really justified reason to shop online. I need Petite size clothes, and most US-brand fashion houses only bring in Regular size clothes, not Petite. And even if they do, it's few and far between. And this is especially true for pants/jeans whereby i always need to alter 1-2 inches off. Everyone who knows clothes knows that the cutting and look of the garment will be distorted when we do alteration. It's just tt most pple don't scrutinise others' dressing as much as i do. haha!
Am i giving myself another reason to shop online? You betcha!
P/S: I love the way i look when i wear my new pair of jeans.
PP/S: Alan, don't sigh... like what i told u last nite, it really can be cheaper (even after including shipping and taxes) when one knows how to shop online for clothes on sale. My new jeans is $30 cheaper than if i'd bgt locally (and i'd still hv to send in for alteration). Best of all, u dun nid to go shopping wif me. :-)

Shopping.... again
I have been buying so many clothes for Ashley lately, even i feel "pai-seh". How can 1 little girl wear so much clothes, not to mention it's only for weekends? Not that my girl runs around naked (hah!) on weekdays, but my mil has told me not to bring any clothes over for my girl as my sil has bgt more than enough clothes for Ashley.
As for me, haiz... i've busted the current closet compartment tt's used for storing Ashley's clothes, hv to add on the main compartment...
Alan must be shaking his head at this again. :-p But he's a wise man, he's learnt to keep his mouth shut... kekeke...
I feel like i'm turning into a shopaholic (and i didn't even need to watch the movie). :-)

Shopping craze back!
Been buying so many things recently, especially Ashley's clothes, shoes, books, toys...
I started having this ridiculous thought, i shd simply just hv another dd so as to justify all the stuff i bought.

Nahhhh............ a simpler way wld b to cut off all my credit cards!
Wahahahaha...
P/S: The ironical thing is as i m typing this post, i again thot of another toy i wanna buy for Ashley - a makeup set. Vain rite? hahaha... recently, she starting imitating me on putting on make-up and i thot she'd hv fun wif a make-up set. Afterall, i've been a little gal n was deprived of quite alot of toys then.

Good deals!
Yep, this sale-hungry momma managed to grab some good bargains at Gap n Aldo last Saturday.
Gap sale : 30% off on regular-priced items (except those tt are stated nett). On top of this disc, there will be additional 20% off for 5 or more items. Needless to say, i grabbed 5 items (3 for Ashley n 2 for myself). Wanted to get a business shirt for Alan, but too bad the fit was not rite. All in all, my bill came up to $177.50, savings of $139.50.
I was in Gap for some time bcos of trying out the clothes, can't decide which colour to buy... And while waiting for me, Ashley had a fun time amusing herself, sitting n playing on the kiddy chairs, sitting on the platforms, playing abit of hide-n-seek wif Alan. Of cos, there was no disturbance to others as the shop area was big, so ample space for all shoppers to roam around.
Aldo sale : this was a surprise good buy for me. Saw the sale sign n went in, not thinking i'll get any. But there's this pair of black flats tt looks nice, n super comfortable. And it was on 50% + 10% (UOB credit card). So, i paid $67.50 for a nice pair of Aldo shoes. And just in time too, as my current pair of flats is abt to give way.
Afterthoughts: i had been toying with the idea of doing online shopping at GAP.com. Now, i m wondering whether it will be cheaper to just wait for such sales n buy locally. Hmmm... maybe when i've tried it out, i'll blog about it here.
