Okay so yesterday was a Sunday and it was officially the last day of February. See how fast time passes? It's already March. Sheesh. And what have I achieved in the past month? NOTHING. Nada. Ah well, there is always tomorrow or the next month. I'm getting the jitters for no apparent reason.
Ever heard of the Body Shop sale? Well before yesterday, I had absolutely no belief in such a bewildering concept. I mean, honestly. Body Shop is such an acclaimed establishment. Why in the world would it want to have a sale when it was already doing so well for itself? I couldn't wrap my head around it. Especially since all three of my girls, namely Siska, Maryam and Syafiqah have seen it for themselves! I was outraged. How could I have not seen such a marvel?
So yesterday, I was innocently walking around Parkway Parade with my family browsing through random shops and curiously glancing through the prices of movies. All of a sudden, as I was walking out of a shop, my brother approached me with a frantic look on his face.
Hakim: KAKAK! I have to show you something!
Namira: What? No, I am trying to stroll here Hakim. I'm in no rush.
Hakim: But, but, it's important Kakak!
Namira: Sigh, how important is it?
Hakim: It's more important than homework!
Namira: Fine, what is it?
He pulled me towards the railing and immediately I was wary. What was my brother up to? Then I looked over the railing and there was this big commotion underneath me. At first, I thought my brother was gesturing wildly to the toy shop across from me but then he said 'It's the perfume shop Kakak!'
What.
Then I saw more clearly, my eyes zeroed in on the sign that was out of the ordinary. Though I couldn't make sense of the words. At all.
Body Shop.
Sale.
Up to 70%.
What in the world. I've finally made it! I've seen the unseen! I am now part of the discount elite!
The crime scene. Where the commotion all began. Women battling for body shop items on discount.
The sign telling the discount story and fairytale.
My mother trying on body butter. 500ml for $16.90!
The queue was short considering the crowd consuming the items.
What the gentlemen do whilst waiting for the women to shop till they drop.

What the gentlemen do whilst waiting for the women to shop till they drop.You know I've always had this dream that I would go into body shop try all the testers and walk out smelling like a bed of roses without having to pay a single cent.
what I dreamt of yesterday: Paris.
self-proclamation.
My life is not a fascination worth the scrutiny of those who watch over me. Yet, I live amongst thin air and sparkling personalities.
I am an avid fan of the KoreanPop scene. So bring me to the number thirteen.
read my lips.
they're watching.
