hitching a plan

Local supermod Charmaine Harn.

One of my faves of all time.

Saw her at Cold Storage and she is strikingly tall, like 2 heads above me or someth.

She's so beautiful. Perfect face.

Just thought this was a really nice non-fashion pic of her.

On another note,

I went shopping with Terence last nite at Mustafa.

It was my perfect plan to devise wat to get for his bday.

I'd been wishing to get him an Omega Speedmaster, but it really blows my budget way off.

Even with Dennis' 20% lobang at Sincere.

Thought about it long n hard.... with the baby coming, i really shouldn't splurge on such an expensive bday present for him, knowing we both need the cash badly.

But i do want to get him smthg nice.

He's very sweet to tell me way beforehand not to hav any dumb ideas of extravagant gifts, and instd save the $$ for our baby's bills.

But you know, that only makes him sweeter and me, more wanting to get him a bloody nice gift!

It'd been too obvious to lug him around those expensive watch boutiques in town to find an alternative (read: cheaper) watch, and he'll definitely 100% call my bluff.

So i brought him to Mustafa centre late last nite, on the guise that i need to get toiletries.

And we slowly wandered to the watch section.

It's pretty amazing, but unglam Mustafa stocks a helluva lot of major watch brands like Tag H, Rado, Longines, Omega, Fendi, Gucci, Hamilton, CK, Movado etc etc.

Impressive enuf for an Indian supermart.

We pretended to look at diamond-studded watches, cos i lied n said i wanted one.

And along the way, I noticed 2 he really quite liked.

The Tag H Aquaracer ($1680) and Hamilton Khaki Chrono-Auto ($1250).

I guess if i got Mum & Dad to chip in, I probably can afford it.
I'm trying not to blow more than $1K myself...wondering if I shld rope in my in-laws & his brother as well.

The Hamilton's more affordable, but a Tag seems more fitting for his grand 30th.

I wish i can get him the Omega, but it's kinda off limits for now.

Decisions, decisions.

I'll make a trip down to Mustafa later again to check out the 'best price' for these 2.

Didn't dare ask anyth or make my buying intent too obvious last nite, so we didn't even respond when the sales staff approached us.

Hope I remember how to drive myself there.

So anyone got more lobang for these 2???
