My First Thanksgiving (2008) in US!

Yes!!! My long waited Thanksgiving is here finally!!!! Monkey had a super long wkend (Thurs to Sun) and the sales had finally started!

On Thanksgiving day itself (27 Nov 08), we woke up at a time we like, without alarm clock disturbing dreams. But hor, the sales will oni start late at nite and alot of places is not open. So we went casino.... hahahaha.... Casino is opened 24hrs and 364days a yr.. had our lunch at Jack-In-The-Box. Thank goodness that its open while other fast food restaurant is resting.....

Then i bought half a dozen of mineral water from the petrol station just beside Jack-In-The-Box. Why? cuz i dun wanna drink too much sugared drinks when i m outdoor chionging for the sales later. Monkey commented why i so KS buy so much? in the end the drinks all finished in 2days! we left it in the car, and drink along... healthy choice!

Then we went to Anthem Outlets at 10pm plus.. polly they all still looking for place for dinner, but we already reach.... lucky we went early, cuz got carpark lots. They came at 11pm+ and got traffic jam and etc.... poor thing....

Saw this Giant X'mas tree in "construction"....



First shop to chiong at Anthem is Polo Ralph! Although we just came 2wks ago and bought alot of things, this time got additional 20% discount on top of the already discounted items (if buy more than USD150 la) !

So i grab grab grab, good thing its still not too crowded.. maybe we were early.... still got sizes to select slowly... happy!!! Bought 2 similiar tee but diff sizes (one for monkey and one for pig). Then i saw the pink sweater.... cheap and nice! and then i can't help but oso buy the grey/purple shawl! then we oso bought a set of 300thread bedsheet for our new house... KS rite? total how much? USD130+ oni!!! Saved USD80!!!!!!

My Ladies' card is grimming with pride... hahaaa




Then I bought a pair for shoes for "walking" to equip me for my upcoming Disney trip. hahaa..... I really wonder y sports shoes have diff functions but the "walking" shoes are really comfy! Along, i bought 3pairs of socks oso from Nike.... CHEAP!!!!! Total oni USD35.53!!!

Then while waiting for the others to reach, we went The Big Dog and I bought 2 shirts.. monkey oso bought 1... the wordings are just too cute... they were on sales 50%!

1) All I want is Everything, is that a problem?

2) If you dun like my Attitude, quit talking to me!

Then we had supper at Anthem's Subway, cuz the smells makes us hungry... shopping needs energy oso! hahaha...

Finally saw polly they all... polly oso liked the polo shirt i bought last time, so i brought her to Ralph Lauren again and showed her where i got it.... that was the 3rd time i enter the shop tat nite... 2nd time, i saw jaslin.. she oso bought the shawl i got! So happy!

We shopped till 3am++! Went to base and check if the q for USD20 gift card is long.... YES, IT IS LONG despite the cold cold weather... so we went home....

Nx day, aka Black Friday... we woke up quite late cuz of the previous day tiredness... haha... then we happily go breakfast cum lunch cum dinner at Takamatsu at 5pm. Then later go base and buy coach cuz got 25% discount from 6pm to 7pm! Polly called and said there are already many pple in the coach counter with their hands on the bags even before the sales start! PENGZ! so i think i just eat slowly (anyway, i can't eat fast... haha), hoping to go after 6pm where there shd be "leftovers" for me... haha

When I reach at 550pm, there was a queue!!!! Not too long, but long enuff all the way from the coach counter till the entrance! pengz.... Christine who came 5mins before me was in front of the queue by a few person.... Saw many familiar faces... haha... then we made our husbands to queue while we go chat and check on the coach counter if still have stocks we want...

While queqing, there are many scratchcards given to us...I won 2 "$10 of purchase f $100" while monkey won 2 free drinks. Christine best la! She won fries and cookies and drinks... i think she almost won the whole set of meal.. hahaaa

When finally it was our turn, realised alot of good and nice bags are gone :(

Was on a mission to buy many for friends but hor..... haiz.....

So in the end bought the below wristlet for my mum. Glad tat she likes it!!! USD34.50 oni, after discount of cuz!!!!

Also bought a coach op sabrina for frd.. dunno how to deal with it.. haiz.. but its the 2nd last and some ang mohs were asking if i still wan it... else they wanna get from me... hahaha.... monkey oso bought a bag for his mum!

We went back after the 2 hours q... getting ready for shopping the nx day! haha

Sat, we went Arizona Mill and Scottsdale.

Got this black tee from Forever21 at Arizona Mill for oni USD4.99! I intend to wear it inside a short dress. cheap cheap!

The last time I went Scottsdale, it gave me the class impression of our Paragon! All the branded brands are here.... so happy... monkey bought me the skinny last time when we were here to order a coach bag for his sis....

I love the gold skinny beri much! Tat time while we were shopping at vegas, Jessica wanted to buy the mahagony skinny, but when she saw this gold skinny i had, she oso like it and gave up on the coach outlet and buy it from boutique instead! ahaha....

Even though she went back to sg le, but she still wants more coach.. haha..... i was browsing this small purse.... she was eyeing on the other one but i "sai-ko" her this is nicer!!!!hahaa... so i got one for her. Monkey promised to buy one for me. So i waited for him at the coach boutique... and waited and waited! He had been in Ambercrombie for an hour selecting his clothes! Pengz! So i fed up in waiting, paid for the wallet meant for jessica and went off without getting mine :(

I had already spend alot in the 3days! And the most ultimate one is wad?

Shit la... i getting more vain and poor..... nx wk must eat grass liao! hahaha .. but we all had a nice dinner at Dennys..... though my meal seems abit shrinking... the bread seems smaller... why ar? is it becuz of cold weather? hahaaa
