wtf??!!

Friday, May 14, 2004

was on leave yesterday. went to meet the tailor to decide on the design of our gowns and take our measurement. so we met the tailor and happily took our measurements and decided on the designs. momo's gown will be a v-neck with cap sleeve gown. mine will be a long tube dress. okie, i am bad in descriptions. shall take a pic of the fown when its finished. anyway, as i was saying, we were all there HAPPILY until the tailor gave us the costs for her workmanship.

prior to that, the reason why i agreed to tailor make a gown was because i was told that the tailor will give us "friendship" price. so my gown (fabric + workmanship) will costs around $200.

so, the tailor was there, frowning her brows, cause she said she is deciding how much discount to give us. and in the end, she said: okie lor, i shall charge all the gowns at $180 each. and i really, really wanna faint on spot. cause that means:

fabric: $80
workmainship: $180
the fucking gown costs: $260!!!

and she said that was the best price she can give cause the fabric i chose was very transparent so she needs to buy additional fabric for the lining and the fucking lining costs $50. wah kau!!! how come nobody tells us that we need lining material?? i thought that after we bought the fabric everything is settled?? i was really upset. cos nobody sponsored for my gown and now i have to cough out a whopping $260. felt damn cheated too also. if i knew i have to cough out so much $$, i might as well buy a gown, which i believe for this price, i can get a mei mei one with glitters and flowers as well.

by the time we were done with the tailor, it was already past 1.30. i was damn hungry. momo was complaining she was hungry too and so she said we go lunch together. and i was still in a state of shock / anger / heartpain that i just followed them blindly. i cant think anymore. all i can think of is $260 flying away from my wallet. i didnt even go and highlight my hair, which i planned to initially cause my wallet is already bleeding from internal injuries and i do not wish to injure it even further in one day. so i followed momo and max's momo back to bedok for lunch and went home in a daze. the only words that can come out from my mouth were to complain abt the fucking expensive gown. it better be nice.

spend the rest of the day drowning my sorrows in sleep. met eq later at night in 85. complained to sis abt the gown again at night and she felt that it was expensive too. somehow i felt better that she also felt that the workmanship is ex. so i asked her i can pay the $180 back in instalments?? haha. actually my jie fu offered to sponsor me $60 so that i only need to pay my expected $200 but i told him no need lah. cos they have spend alot of $$ on their wedding as well and i only wanna complain and complain and COMPLAIN TO THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. and i'll feel much better aft that.

anyway, i have decided that i may put the gown for sale aft my sis wedding to recoup back some of my losses. but see how first lah. see if i have any other occassions to wear the gown.
matt's co d&d (i can forget abt my own company d&d if i remains in my present co.)
any of the queen's wedding or ROM (so u all can faster get married so that i can have more chances of wearing my gown)

have decided on the gift to give my sis too. we have agreed under concensus that i will give her a bedsheet set completed wif duvet and everything. ooi, 1 bedsheet set is not cheap okie, especially those branded ones. she said she wanted a peach colour bedsheet as that is her lucky colour and red, yellow and purplr bedsheets are big NO NO. i shall try to remember when i go shopping for it ba. haha.

mark will be coming to my house on sat to repair my pc. i have finally given up hope of trying to repair it on my own. i realised that my pc has been down for a mth liao. tried surfing the net in safe mode and realised that i have forgotten my login password. so i called starhub and realised that my acct, has been, for the 2nd time, disconnected cause i neber pay my bills again. : (
