Weekend shopping!

The 1st week of June just past a few hours ago and I felt contented with the shoppings I have done most recently. Yesterday we went to Athirah. We seldom go there but I manage to convince my 3 years old son to agree with the destination when I told him that the shop next to it (Soon Lee) have Thomas & friends stuffs!! He loves Thomas & Friends so much!! He can spot even the tiniest T & F items from the shelf high or low.

But thats not what I want to share with you now... I will dedicate one post for my son's 'obsession' with Thomas and Friends. This time I just want to update you on what I bought this weekend. all in Brunei, guys...

Saturday - my weekend shopping started @ Athirah. I sort of have to go there to get my contact lenses that I have pre-ordered before via Bright World. I very much prefer and recommended FRESHKON coloured (disposable) contact lenses to FreshLook lenses.

Freshkon lenses to me are much easier to put on and last longer without irritating my eyes. So that is why I do not hesitate to buy 3 boxes (as it is Bright World's requirement) for my degrees are 800. I wore the groovy green ones today... Lawa kali ah! Totally worth it!! $30 per pair so all together $90. At least I do not have to worry about my stock for Raya ani. I usually ask my friends or sister to buy for me from Miri because from other local optic shops, freshkon are not easily available and certainly not cheap ($40 per pair). I was happy when I know I can order FRESHKON from Bright World and they charge me $30 per pair as compared to $40 @ an optic shop In Manggis Mall! Of course in Miri I can get 2 boxes for B$50 but in the long run it is still economical & the hidden value (of shopping locally) is much higher.

Lavanita (Athirah) - Best collection of tudong/scarfs.
While waiting for my husband & my son from Soon Lee next door, I went in to Lavanita, a textile shop. This shop might not be well known for its textile collections but it sure does have the best collections of original silk scarfs! Actually, they have some rare items as well, that most textile shops did not cater. They have the interesting variety of Black or white (lace & Satin) matched sets for Istana functions (July) and they also have the best range of Dubai's Jubbah at reasonable prices!! And I have my eye on one particular pendant in the display cabinet. I will probably come back after payday!
