I forgot how tempting shopping can be. Especially when you're broke.
Yesterday I went out with the one and only Melissa Victor. It was nice because for a change, I went out with somebody I have never went out with. It was like a new experience. We went to Times Square where she showed me that even though the shop displays a lot of cheesy clothes in front, the treasures of fashion are usually hidden inside the shop.
We went from one shop to another, we were literally drowning in colourful fabric. In one of the shops, I literally went crazy inside when I got to the sweater rack. Even though there was a gorgeous purple sweater that I wanted, I didn't buy it due to my lack of money.
Mel bought a purple dress which she already has at home but in a different colour. Seriously, I have never own 2 identical dresses in 2 different colours. Well Mel finally had her taste. She then bought some more clothes including this awesome green bohomien inspired skirt.
After invading 2 floors we decided to grab some food. Mel took me to an adorable little cafe located in the depths of Times Square called Gasoline. It looked like place where you can bring your boyfriend, make out inside the private booth and never get caught. That was how private the place was.
We sat in our little 'room' , covered with curtains to block us from the other people as we sat down on cute cushions. Yes no chairs, we sat on the floor. Very japanese style ya know. Mel ordered her odd combination of fried rice with mushroom soup while I had an also unusual concoction of orange juice and chocolate.
We talked and discussed about a lot of stuff. Some turn out to be very interesting and I got to know Mel in a more in depth way. A conversations between CBNers would not be complete without smack talking and gossiping around, right? So we both hade a heafty dose of that. We laughed through most of it, calling certain unlucky schoolmates crazy.
Oh yeah Mel, the name of that mental illness is pseudologia fantastica.
Afterwards we continued our journey through the bargain fashion jungle. Mel was looking for a black bolero while I was searching for a beanie beret hat. The search for my hat was a failure but I knew somehow I would be able to find the hat at Times Square. If only I had more time.
I had to leave early due to my hair appointment at my mum's saloon. So I wet off and head on to Wisma Central next to KLCC in the drizzling weather so I could get rid of my annoying split ends. I only trimmed a bit off and got a side fringe. But this morning I hated my fringe so much I chopped it off into a straight bang.
After getting my hair done, Nurul arrived. She's sleeping over for some nights. It's fun to have someone like her around.
Overall I had loads of fun with Mel. Maybe you guys should try going out with someone you never went out with, you know, some random friend. So I want to thank you Melissa Victor for filling my Friday with new fashion ideas, laughter and fun.
