I was a very troublesome customer and a very troublesome gf today. Here's the very troublesome long story:
Common off day for the BF and I. So he came over in the afternoon to visit my ma and have lunch. Then after that I told him I needed to buy a new wallet, cos my current one is in a disastrous state. I have 3 $10 Taka vouchers with me from the SingNet BroadBand so we headed to Taka, our first stop.
He doesn't like to shop. But he offered to go along with me so I led him around the wallet and bags section at Taka, because I'm always changing my mind. Then he said he needed wanted to go somewhere else cos my taking him around and around is making him dizzy. So he went off someplace. I don't like to keep him waiting so I went back to my first choice which is Guess and bought a medium sized blue one without really checking the compartments and all that. After the 20% discount and the $30 vouchers, the wallet amounted to $25 plus.
Then we headed to Singapore Expo for the Library used books fair. That was our main objective of the day. He bought 3 books and 1 book for my sis. Then we went to Coffee Bean and he had a ice blended chocolate. I had a hot chocolate cos I was freezing. Then I happily opened up the new wallet to put in all my things and that was when I found out that the wallet didn't have the transparent compartment for the photos. Big big disappointment. Then discussed whether to go back and do an exchange. We decided to go back. I felt guilty for dragging him around and around and asked if he wants to go home instead. But he chose to accompany me. What a nice BF. :) But actually we wanted to go to Changi Airport and have Popeye's for dinner. Ended up didn't go. :( We headed straight back to Taka again.
Upon reaching the wallets and bags section, I went to look for the salesgirl that served me just now and told her I needed to do and exchange. I wanted the smaller and cheaper one with the transparent thing for the photos. The rest didn't have that compartment. She said they couldn't do a cash refund so I need to get something else the top up the balance amount. Wanted to get another cheap wallet at the sales corner actually. But spotted a nice Comoditee bag at the sales corner. So I decided to take that. Cost $49.90. When the salesgirl brought me to the cashier, I realised with a jolt that I had forgotten to remove the BF's namecard from the wallet that I had bought earlier. So I apologized and told the salesgirl and she went to get it again. Then I was a little confused about the amount that I that I had to pay, which was $41.70, the salesgirl and the cashier had to explain it to me. But I still didn't get it but said I understood anyway, to spare myself any further embarrassment. Then thanked them and apologized again and went off to one corner with the BF to calculate again and realised that the amount I paid was right.
Ugh. Spent too much today.
Okay. The number of stops that the BF made today: from Jurong West to Toa Payoh, from Toa Payoh to Orchard, from Orchard to Expo, from Expo to Orchard again, and from Orchard back to Jurong West.
I AM SO SORRY!!!!!
