Presenting the 3rd installment of Pinkelicious Pops, the pop, snap and crackle in PE’s life! Thanks for still being around!

After the previous fun filled trip down to Singapore, I’m due for another visit to that sunny, fine island! Yippee! This time with my shopping buddy (SHOBU) in tow…ParisB! This trip will be for pure shopping, shopping and shopping! Hip hip hurray! Shopping with my SHOBU is bad, because I often end up buying the most! Hehe…but what better than a SHOBU with a great eye for great buys, wouldn’t hesitate to give her perfectly honest opinion to my “Do I look fat in this” questions and humors my repeated visits back to the same store to check out the one thing which I can’t decide to get!
And me, the dutiful family travel agent has once again been handed the task of organising and booking the tickets and accommodation!
Pinkelle says – Hey, even family travel agents are entitled to some commission!

Between a rock and a hard place, which will you choose?
Out of the frying pan, into the fire…which is hotter?
The mothership is sinking, sinking, the captain’s nowhere to be seen and hanging around will only bring me down to Bikini Bottom where Spongebob Squarepants resides. I spy a little tug boat nearby. However, I’m not sure if it’s a friendly boat that’ll grow and take me to further lands or whether it’ll be an unfriendly one which will just end up chaining me to the oars to row and row for eternity!
If I jump into this tug boat, will I be missing the next ocean liner that could be just around the corner to pick me up from the sinking mothership?!
Pinkelle says – Hmm…decisions, decisions, decisions…a Libran’s worst nightmare!

I was at work early this morning checking my email when a senior colleague burst in to ask if they were having a fire drill. Puzzled, I told him no since I didn’t hear any fire alarm. He insisted that there was one as there were a huge crowd starting to gather in the open space outside, being shepherded around like little sheep by a guy with a loud hailer. Insisting there was a fire drill on and that we weren’t participating like good corporate citizens, he hassled us all out (in the LIFT!) down to the open space only to find that it was a drill for the other office block. He grinned and said “Good la, since we’re already down I might as well smoke a cigarette down here”
Pinkelle says – *rolls eyes* No need to ask the whole office down with you just to smoke a cigarette, innit?!

I was driving a friend home last night after having dinner together when we stopped at a traffic light. A motorcycle pulled up next to us and from the corner of my eye, I noticed the riders peering into my car. Feeling rather scared with the recent spate of crimes, I turned for a quick glance and saw an oldish Indian man sandwiched by his wife behind him and his son in front of him. When he saw us looking at him, he…
STUCK OUT HIS TONGUE!!
My friend and I were totally taken aback and he continued to do the same whenever we glanced at him. It wasn’t a friendly stick-out-your-tongue like how children do when they’re trying to be naughty but rather a really menacing one with his eyes rolling! It was really freaky and scary since there have been so many recent crimes involving women drivers recently.
Pinkelle says – How totally bizarre! Luckily he didn’t try to follow us home!

Am feeling really sleepy now…so this brings a close to the 3rd Pinkelicious Pops! Happy Wednesday, all…it’s halfway through the week already!

Well, give the man some credit. After all, he was sandwiched between his wife and kid.. what else could he stick out?!
Erm…but sticking out his tongue?! If I was Maori, I would have stuck mine back as a form of greeting!
Woohoo! Shopping! Enjoy and share pics of the loot later. Go check out Furla. Very good bargains. And Tangs is giving out 12%rebates to Citibank cardholders though not sure if applicable to Malaysians.
Yes shopping!
Thanks for the tips, DR! Will definitely share pics of the loot! I saw a Ferragamo buttery-soft bag I rather liked so going back there to take a second look! Their bargains weren’t as good as Furla’s though…
*raises eyebrow* More shopping at the Great Singapore Sale? I jelus! I wan to go too…
As for that Indian man… How rude! *says it PB style*
Yup, shopping shopping shopping! I hardly shopped last weekend!
Yeah, it wasn’t so much of rude but FREAKY!
Shopping: YAY!! Show me the loot too!
Decisions: Lending PE the “Torch of Life”.
Fire Drill: *rolls eyes*
Indian Man: Weird! *running away totally freaked out*
PE says: Thanks Anne! Looking forward to GSS *kicks sticking-out-tongue man*
wow another trip here! You gotta buy all you can before the GST increase sets in on 1st July! ENJOY!
PE says: MFF, I won’t be able to make it before the GST increase but I’ll definitely enjoy!
that was rather bizzare! I wonder if I have the cheek to stick my tongue out at someone else in traffic…
PE says: It’s funny when a kid does it but when it’s an old man who does it in a really menacing manner, it’s really quite scary especially with the recent spate of crimes here. I was terrified he’ll follow us!
GSS here I come…TOO!
Did you roll your eyes at him when he stuck out his tongue though?
PE says: Yippee! When’re you headed down for the GSS? I didn’t dare roll my eyes, quickly averted them and tried to ignore him staring into the car. If I had a guy with me then maybe I would have said something nasty
But with two girls in the car, better not to invite trouble!
