Super Shopper!

Wow it feels great to be able to blog again! To my readers out there, sorry for the prolonged absence. For the past two weeks I haven't blogged for a number of reasons: too tired to write at the end of the work day, too busy meeting up with friends for dinner and shopping (YES SHOPPING!), and had my home Internet access cut over the past few days (horror of horrors!). I must say I've experienced withdrawal symptoms from not being able to blog. Such is the allure of blogging, won't be surprised if it progresses (or shall I say degenerates?) from addiction to world wide epidemic!

Anyway, the title of this post is Super Shopper and here is why...

After grabbing a number of fantastic buys during the beginning of the Great S'pore Sale (hereafter referred to as GSS), I felt a little guilty and thought I should tone down. And yes, everything in the stores seemed unexciting after my initial craze. I thought I wasn't going to report any more damage on my blog and diary, but guess the GSS is THE sale after all and I soon found new things to pump up my retail high. The breakdown in the past week as follows: black capris with satin floral detail at the knees from Bysi ($26), 2 cotton tops which look like an artist drew on them for $9.90 each from pushcart stall at Junction 8, black handbag from Tangs Studio ($0 cos I used a voucher, heh ;p) and white handbag with green floral detail and leather strap from Accessories ($23.90). Now isn't all that a steal?!!!

And you know, either STB or MediaCorp or both are really smart, because now there's a show called Super Shopper hosted by Pam Oei on Thursdays, 8.30 on Channel 5. There couldn't have been a better timing! After picking up my two handbags today, I got home and turned on the TV while having dinner and lo and behold, Pam appears before my eyes. I have to confess that Pam is my idol. I've even told her that to her face and she was so shy she hid behind a pillar! But it's cool that she still recognises me in public and I feel like a 14 year old having a lesbian crush when she waves back to me, eeks!

Anyway, Pam is a joy to watch as she's so incredibly funny, perky and every bit the diva as she flits from shop to shop. I thought the show would just feature clothes, shoes and the like, but Pam actually went for facial light therapy and body firming at Expressions (the treatment supposedly burns fat equivalent to the fat burnt from 360 push ups?!!!) and took a trip for just $95 to a kelong in Batam! That's it. I'll be staying home Thursday nights to watch Pam religiously, or so I hope! This show's truly dedicated to all the super shoppers (and closet super shoppers) out there. The producers couldn't have found a better host. Pam is IT and she RAAAAWKS!!!
