i always knew my paternal grandmother (well, grandmothers on both sides really) was a fighter.
another winter, another scare. this time with a lung infection. thankfully nothing serious. bit of difficult breathing with the change in season and needed some oxygen. but with each year, it gets harder and harder for her and everyone tries to pitch it to make her feel better. visited her tonight and she seemed to be in good spirits but was barely eating... i even offered her my bag of chips that was my late lunch/dinner. i think she had one chip. ONE.
she's still thinking her grandkiddies are little and don't have their own jobs and need to be fed! I will always love her for that. And the secret stash of coke she always had in her shed/pad/summer room.
kudos to my 5th uncle for dialing directly into her hospital room all the way from HK. lifted her spirits muchly. so much so that she told him not to worry and that she will be checking herself out and going home tomorrow!
caught up with poh poh all night and we were shopping and talking about my new potential handbag.
i wanted the mulberry bayswater double zip $2,900
then i was convinced i wanted the mulberry willow $2,900. but that was a deal breaker because it only had handles - no shoulder strap. this was the frontrunner for the last two weeks because it had a detachable clutch... two bags for the price of one!!!
there were two colours at 30% off but weren't to my liking.....
so she suggested prada and did some research. liked the saffiano large tote - $2,500. So i went to take a look today after work since i left early. the shop, the lack of customer service (because i was not a mainlander) and all the different colours and types of bags put me off hugely. Not a fan.
So did some thinking tonight... and i think i actually want the Mulberry brand more than I want a Prada (never really liked Prada..). And surprisingly (cause I didn't know this), Mulberry is actually more expensive than Prada. I always thought Prada was up there with LV, Gucci. Wrong again.
And it brought me back to the original Mulberry Bayswater in Natural Leather in either Oak or Black. I think black because i want a black bag but i really like the oak colour too. Works out awesome, its the cheapest of the bunch. :D
Now to find someone to go overseas and get the GST back!
