Had planned to just get 2 pairs of pants for work, as the one I had is getting old. So decide to go over to G2000 to get them, since I had bought almost all my office wear from them. So went over to the branch at Bugis, since I also need to check out something there as well.

Things were going as planned, very focus. Went straight to the G2000 shop and start looking around for suitable pair of pants. Selected, tried and then got the shop assistant to take measurements as there is a need to alter the length.  So after getting the pants, was supposed to be checking the thing out, but end up what I wanted to see wasn;t there. So decide to head down to get a new shaver. Thats where I drifted and ended up at this CD shop, cos I wanted to check out the latest Enya album.

While in the CD shop, instead of finding Enya, I found Celine Dion instead. There is a new compilation of some of her best works, so listen to the album at the listening post in the shop and I start to like the album. Was almost going to purchase it, when I remember my favourite CD shop, That CD Shop kind of have a bundle deal on that album. So immediately head down to the nearest That CD Shop branch at Raffles City to confirm my assumption.

Yes!! I was so right. The particular Celine Dion album was part of this 3 for $49.90 bundle deal, whats more.. The album That CD Shop has is a 2 CD compilation instead of just 1 CD which I saw earlier. So its like a good deal to get it. But then I need to find 2 more CDs to enjoy the 3 for $49.90 deal. Thats where Enya came into the picture. Since her new album is also one of the CD that qualifies for the bundle deal. So decide to listen to the CD first and see how is it. Well, nothing that interesting… its very Enya style of music and singing, pretty tune in to the white christmas mood and at times sounded abit like the church music. But decide to get it anyway, since I can be consider quite a Enya fan.

Now that I have 2 CDs, I need one more to complete the deal. Now, thats where Kenny G come in handy. Again there is a compilation of his works and I had always wanted to have another Kenny  G album to add on to my CD collection. So its only right that I get him as well, so as to complete the whole deal.

So total cost for 3 CDs, $49.90. When they break up the individual cost of the CD, each cost only $16+. Much cheaper than it would be if I had just bought them individually.

Realizing that time is running out, and I am also getting hungry as I have dinner waiting for me at home. So decide to quickly get the shaver and head home. Then realised that my facial wash had run out. So have to make a turn on the way home to get it. As I remembered there is a shop that sells all these beauty stuffs cheaper than what the retail shops are selling, thus decide to get my facial wash there. Since it is cheaper. As expected, it really cost cheaper, cos there is still a 22% discount from the price tag. So my that facial wash cost me $20+

Totaling up my purchase for the night. I had spent like $200 in total, below are my purchases for tonight. 2 pair of pants, 1 pair of socks, 1 shaver, 3 CDs and 1 facial wash. Looking at what I purchase, seems like I had bought a lot of things. Well… though it may be a bit of a rush shopping cos it wasn’t a planned trip, but at least I had bought some of the essential things I need. Now, must find the time to go check out the thing that I am suppose to check out. Haiz… another not so cheap thing to get.
