In preparation for my Overseas Student Exchange Programme trip next year, Yii Mei accompanied me to town during the weekend for some winter clothing shopping. Patrick, a senior of mine whom is currently having the time of his life in Germany, mentioned that the weather would be pretty harsh when Wan Lin and I travel over. Since he cannot define the severity, the emphasis placed on this point was strong when looking for my items.


Before shopping, I had listed out tons of requirements my footwear-to-be must have:

• Cheap, say $50.
• The soles need to have good grips.
• Gorgeous boots (like the ones at Tumblr) are completely to die for.

But eventually I settled for an all-black boots from Pull & Bear (that is neither cheap nor gorgeous, and does not have a good grip as well) because Yii Mei suggested that matching my outfits would be easier this way. Countless failed searches that resulted in extreme dejection at that point in time were also reasons enough to pounce onto any passing acceptable deals.




And for the first time in 18 years, my spending was controlled and restricted by a budget (of $150)! Yii Mei made me do so, and I really have her to thank, for if not I would most probably be purchasing blindly once again.

So some other buys of the day included a knitted cardigan and leggings from UNIQLO, and three scarves from H&M. :)
