Shopped for Italy stuff

Feeling quite fulfilled cos I've bought/made some things which are necessary (hmm?) for Italy trip.

so after my cello lessons, i met my parents at chinatown complex as they told me about this shop selling reasonable priced spectacles with fast service. and also cos chinatown is also a place where u can get some of the best deals. [and i like going out with parents... u all noe why :P OOPS!]

1. made a new "spare" specs at 15mins Optical House. my parents actually thought that all specs will be ready in 15 mins, but since mine is high index (got a high degree), it can only be collected the next day earliest.
the reason why i need a new "spare" specs is cos i slept on my old spare specs aka my "home" specs after the late night Pirates that day, and it broke... :( not like i like to buy specs lo. ahah but i like the idea of having 2 specs haha. thinking of bringing my new "spare" specs to Italy, cos it looks more durable. It's a matt silver front, with light blue sides, half frame.
$160

2. ordered daily Acuvue (1 month) from that optical shop too. daily disposable ones save the hassle of bringing saline and cases and most importantly, it's clean and easy to handle.
$76


3. bought a 55cm long haversack at Lucky Traveller Shop at People's Park Complex. fits criteria for hand-carry luggage. Black-orange Outgear.
originally $89. 杀价-ed: $80

4. bought a maroon One Polar pouch at the same bag shop. can contain my waterbottle and wallet, plus other stuff. (hmm i hope wun really need umbrella there? cos mayb cant fit haha)
originally $39. 30% discount: $28

so by right, the total spendings at the Traveller Shop is $107.. tried to ask for $100. but only managed to 杀 to $105. ok la, not bad. haha..

5. oh bought a "retro"-looking hairband for my HC concert this Tuesday. i think can use in Italy too, haha.. for washing face. yea
$2.90 but that's at Jurong East. haha

and juz to share something, i think my mum is damn enthu and likes to do stuff (creative stuff). i was telling her abt the bath bag thing Ian told me yesterday. and she started doing the thing, she cant even nap properly cos she's thinking abt how to do it.

okiez, the bath bag is like something which Ian saw from dunno where. (i'm going to describe it, mayb it'll be something different from what Ian describe...) it's like a hanger thing, with cloth that drops down after u unbuckle it, and it's supposed to be rolled up if not in use. so that u can hang it in the toilet, with slots for ur toiletries and a mirror at the top. supposed to be a portable toiletries holder for the Italy trip which Ian was looking for.

then my mum 灵机一动 and started thinking of how to do it. asked me a for a rough design. den she started cutting out spoilt unbrellas, as umbrella cloth is waterproof and good for such things. even the bone of the umbrella can be used to make the top of hanger part. and then she's going to use an old mirror and slotting it into a transparent slot which she's going to make. I think it's like half done now :)
