Happy Birthday to Me Part 1

April is a very exciting month bcos it is a month where all shopping is justifiable. Hoho. Auntie S asked what I am intending to ask from Daddy Lim. Shoes? Clothes? These are not big spending items and I can buy them myself. Then again, if it is too expensive, 我又不舍得买. Dilemma.

While I didn't know what I wanted for my bday, I do know that I needed a laptop bag. With the further relaxation of the covid restrictions, I have been going back to the office more regularly. I think there are plans to make it more permanent too. So, what I do know is how tiring it is to lug the laptop and commute. It gets worse after a long work day. My poor shoulder. 

I had been looking around and thinking if I need to splurge on a branded laptop bag. This calls for a trip down to IMM, hoping to score a deal. 

I saw the Tumi. 

I didn't like the design actually but it is heavily discounted and it is Tumi. I also considered the MK, which I then thought that it is too informal. 
Then, I saw this interesting one from Fossil.
With a lot of dismantling and then assembling, it can be converted into a shoulder sling bag but looks nicer as a backpack. It was $380 (I think) before discount and $221 after. The sales said that there is a further 40% discount if I bought 3 items, without a restriction on minimum price. 

After much looking around, I got a wallet for Lil Shauna and a coin purse to replace my disintegrating one. 
The total price? $207!!! So the 3 items had cost cheaper than just buying the laptop bag alone. Hohoho. It is one kind of happiness to do retail therapy but another when one scores a great deal. My mood totally lifted. 

Yay! Let's worry about the credit card bill when the time comes. Hohoho.
