My OperaBargain!!!
Monday, July 9, 2007 12:59:20 PM
Here in Birmingham (presumably also elsewhere in England) the summer sale started last week (or even a week before).
Usual sale period is from July, so it started early this year. Partly because of the uncertain weather, I guess. Some of you might have read or heard that there were some floods in the UK these days. 10 people died in total. It is rather cook and the weather is very variable. Evidently the people are reluctant to buy summer cloths, so the sale started earlier.
Yesterday, I went out for shopping. I don't like buying clothes (I hate trying on) and I need a lot of push to do it.
Bargain is one of the impetuses. I bought 2 pair of jeans, 1 pair of shoes and 2 shirts (1 of which, I found out later, was damaged, so I need to return it ), all at least less than half the original price. It is really stupid to buy clothes and shoes for full price.
At least I did half the work, i.e. buying the clothes, but the other part is to wear them. I hate also putting on new clothes. I am just so lazy...

Is it cool in Germany, too? We have just had hail! Yea. Those ice bits from the sky.
I know. I have to wear new clothes once I have bought them. As you can guess, I am not wearing any of the new pieces I bought yesterday.

It's not raining much here but we'd like to have some rain though cos it's been soooooooo hot lately!

So you must have come through Aida's. I have been to Malaysia several times (although it is now an ancient history), and I am very much fond of it.
I wish we can exchange bit of heat and water between England and Malaysia. By the way, in Greece (my husband's country), recently it got as hot as 45c in shade. I think if it is 45c in a humid country like Malaysia or Japan, we would easily be dead from unpleasantness.

So, I actually found u myself!
U have been here? I've never been to Japan but it looks good... The air fares are cheap now...

How is the Malaysian currency now? Recently several friends of mine went to Japan from Europe (Euroland) and found everything rather cheap. It is because the yen has lost value so much againt euro in these years, so the buying power of euro is so strong in Japan.
You will have sometime occasion to visit Japan; it is so close (well, comparing to Europe or America).

The Ringgit is pretty strong too for some weird reason these past few months. It could be the "Visit Malaysia 07 Year". I'm not sure how much is the Yen compared to Ringgit, sorry.
Well, if I go UK, then I will meet up with u too, ok?

If it is visit Malaysia year, it must be me who visit Malaysia, and not you who visit Britain!
By any chance, does your auntie run a restaurant in Suffolk?
Hi aida,
I thought sugarwinx one of your friends. But she denied!
Froggyfbaggins # Thursday, July 12, 2007 12:58:07 AM
sugarwinx? this is between you and me oki?
sugar,
hey ya! how are you today?
any news on your hubby yet?
Esther-Sugar Winxsugarwinx # Thursday, July 12, 2007 3:55:36 AM
I didn't deny being Aida's friend. She cooks for me, how can I not love that woman!!
I said, I didn't come to know yr blog through Aida. I found yr new blog notification in Opera Community's main page. Aida just happened to be our mutual friend before I started to read yr blogs.
And sadly so, my iHubby is missing... STILL!!!!
It's been 5 days now...
The bed feels empty with him gone. Come stay with me tonight, Aida??
(And no. My Aunt is an accountant. Not a restaurant owner)
Kayokotabatakayoko # Thursday, July 12, 2007 6:10:39 AM
Do you people live in the same place? I mean the same town?
Hi Sugarwinx,
I was just kidding. I did read your previous comment.
Pity about your Aunt. I prefered a restaurateur (or, rather, restaurateuse). I could go and visit here
Froggyfbaggins # Thursday, July 12, 2007 6:14:28 AM
as for your hubby.. hes missing still? is this normal? dont you have his number that you can call or something?
*waaaa.. suddenly all serious
and as for tonight.. heck, my mans not around too. so why not, eh? muahahaha
*oki now.. only kidding, of course
Esther-Sugar Winxsugarwinx # Thursday, July 12, 2007 7:30:33 AM
My Aunt makes homemade raspberry jams and cook, but that's as far as her cooking is exhibited... She must be better at counting figures as an accountant.
Anyway, Aida, what time are u coming over...? I will be home at maybe 10pm tonight...
Yeah, Yoko, we live in the same town. But I do not know this Aida woman much... She told me that she's a little on the crazy side...
Froggyfbaggins # Thursday, July 12, 2007 8:42:49 AM
yup, we live in the same town. hmm well almost. i work in kuala lumpur, but lives in selangor. she works and lives in kuala lumpur. it takes me around 30-40 minutes to go to work, so its near.
and dont get scared by what sugar said ( me being a little crazy on the side ).. coz i dont bite. hmm.. even if i do, you are still far far far away for my teeth to reach
sugar,
what time? you be home by 10 pm? then i will be there by 8 pm. i take a lot of time to warm the bed.

Esther-Sugar Winxsugarwinx # Thursday, July 12, 2007 6:43:38 PM
The flooded one is the email's mailbox.
Oh, I'm home... Where'd u go...?????
*looks around for Aida*
Froggyfbaggins # Friday, July 13, 2007 4:22:09 AM
