Getting Ready
So I finally got my very own Christbo tree and it's probably one of the cheapest ones around. Didn't get Ikea's as it looks really weird and... hmm... bald? Carrefour's having one of the best promos in Singapore.
My expenditure:
1.8m tree: $19.90
A box of themed trinkets: $19.90
2 trays of ribbons: $3.80
Lights: $7.90
TOTAL VALUE= $51.50 = a very happy Rae.
Dirt cheap.
A fellow manager claimed that Carrefour had a better deal last week, where the box of themed trinkets' free when you buy a 1.8m tree. Fucken &@#^%@^@&#
. Went to get those stuff at Carrefour Suntec with the other two managers after running around the downtown stores for the whole day. Spent at least 3 hours setting it up and I think I was too meticulous anal. Every branch had to perfectly bent and spread out. Every trinket had to be perfectly hung. Every light had to be perfectly placed and not blocked. Every bow had to be perfectly tied. Oh my christbo tree is of F/W08 key colour; PURPLE. Instead of placing a star or an angel at the tip of the tree, I made a huge bow.
Really feeling the christbo spirit, I had carols blasting from White Boy while I was doing the tree. Listening to Alvin and The Chipmunks really made me wanna watch the cartoon again. I think I'm gonna google them up. I'm sure I can find such classics online.
Other than that, I think I'm gonna hit the sack. Fucken tired. And gonna hit Ikea tomaz to buy some wrappers and bows to make mock presents to put under the tree. Hmm.. maybe gonna get some more trinkets too. And maybe a star. Or not. Last time check, Ikea's star ain't that nice.
Addendum @ 1000 hours: Ok the more I looked at the tree, the more imperfect it is. I think the lights are too little. The huge bow at the tip of the tree isn't that 'huge'. not enough ribbons and trinket on the tree. Argh! Definitely need some more stuff.
