Outlet Mall Outings JAN 23rd - 25th 2010

23rd Jan.
Road travel to Portland, Oregon

Spent an entire day travelling in a van cramped with no less than 15 adults.
Checked into a warm and cosy Super 8 motel.
Nothing eventful except for the late night chat with Mark-Daryl-YX-WangHao till 3 am.

24th Jan.
Shopping at Portland + Return.

Went to the outlet mall.
Turn out to be a small and empty one.
We actually spent one whole day travelling the day prior to come to a deserted outlet with limited brands!!
How interesting. .

The only saving grace was that Portland was TAX-FREE.

Lunched at fast food chain, Wendy's.
Went there because one of the girls had the same name. WENDY's.

Nothing really caught my eye at the outlet except for red Izod jacket that retailed for USD30.
No size was available unfornately.
Sian.
Spent around USD150 on useless stuff the entire day.

Return trip was kind of boring.
Driver act pro, did not want to use GPS.
Got lost a couple of times.

Jan 25th.
Outing at Seattle premium outlet.

Purpose for this outing was to buy stuff for V.day.
But I had something else in mind already.
Did not buy anything for YSH.
I am CHEAPSKATE!!
Haha.
=P

But 3 items from Coach though.
1 hand bag for Mom.
1 pouch for Angie
1 pouch for Joyce.
Budget was not really an issue but turn out that total cost was less than USD200.
What a bonus.
Wanted to buy Coach bag for Mama Yew too but I did not dare take the initiative since she never held/bought anything like that despite having been in US for over 2 years previously.

Realised I had already spent over 3k since I touched down on US soil!!
=(

Did not have the chance to see/speak with YSH today.

I miss YSH.
