yesterday was one of the few days that I decided to venture downtown for some shopping… oh well… it started pouring heavily when I wanna get out of the house. I was super upset 🙁 I mean.. I was all dressed up.. and needed to go to the post office anyway…
SO… I took my umbrella and just head out. First stop – post office. Great! Rainy day = no crowd! Mailed the parcel and begin trip downtown.
Here’s the thing, I was at the midpoint. I was thinking of taking the bus downtown BUT it’s crazy to wait for the bus in the rain ( mind you – bus stop is not sheltered. It’s just a pole/sign indicating that the bus stops here) Walking to the monorail = walking to downtown.
I choose the later.
I was carrying a bag which I regretted buying in a PAPER BAG (bad bad choice = proves 1000X why I return it). Guess what??? The paper bag BROKE!!! The bag dropped onto the wet floor!! I was like !!<!((&$$##$%^&*((*&^ – no choice but to squeeze the bag inside my bag ( bag in bag) geeez… by the time I get to downtown.. went to the store… the SA asked me how I was.. I was soooooooooo upset and angry… BUT I decided to be nice and replied as calm as I could ” Not good.. I braved the rain to come here ” geeez…
After doing my ‘work’ in the store, I headed to RED MANGO for my lunch = yogurt! I love RED MANGO. Sat down spent time with myself.. admiring my new “precious” haha… just that I was having a bad ulcer and it’s so bad tt I can’t eat solid stuff… I cld only eat yogurt and porridge 🙁
It was still raining after my lunch.. took the umbrella and head to Macy’s .. wah.. Estee Lauder was having a promotion and the freebies were soooooo irresistable! The line at the counter was LONG… the SA told me that there’s 4 sets of freebies left. “It’s my lucky day!” I thought to myself and waited in line
While waiting.. I noticed a visually handicapped lady with a service dog looking very lost in the middle of the mall… she stood there for a couple of minutes and it was as though she’s invisible – nobody came to help her. Since, I had nothing better to do – I got out of the line and approached her. She was looking for a handbag, so I guided her to the handbag section and got a SA to come to her. I seriously do not know why the SA exclaimed “OMG!” when I told her the lady needs help. Oh well… I went back to the line… counted the no. of pple and realised that I might nt get the freebie… BUT……
A lady left the line as she was too tired of waiting!!! yay!!! I bought a serum and got the FREEBIES – the LAST freebie. heh.. it pays to be kind! 😀
Headed home after shopping – checked the mailbox and… I GOT ANOTHER FREEBIE ! It’s a BOTTLE OF DISHWASHING LIQUID .. haha… nice! I nv really need to buy household stuff in US – almost everything comes FREE or almost FREE .. happy!
At home, checked my email… and GUESS WHAT?!!! heh… the photo album I made for our Hawaii trip had some production error ( it’s the company’s issue) – so they gave me a 75% discount + free shipping to reorder the same album!!! WOW!!! I paid only $1.36 for the album
Rested awhile and cooked dinner + BH’s lunch. What a day! I feel like i’m writing a composition ‘ The day I helped a person in need’ hahaha
