Say a little prayer.: July 2012

I think I have quite a few posts which I've been wanting to update but haven't got around to putting them down in words :p

So I thought I better post abt this before I start putting it on my to-do (but never done) list agin.

I used to like buying watches quite a bit at one point of my life. But mostly fashion watches to wear for fun and purely to accessorize. But since my 21st bday, I've not really been actively looking to buy new watches. I've been wearing the same Guess watch from my brother since my 21st bday. Alternating b/w another watch which pops bought for me a couple of years ago.

So recently, I've been thinking that I should just invest in a proper watch which can last me through a good few years. But I don't really have a particular brand or style in mind. So I left it as it is.

And some months ago, while reading a magazine, a Balmain watch caught my eyes.

That clean-cut face accompanied by a see through arabesque cut-out spelt unique in a very subtle way for me. Something I couldn't have described out of thin air, but seeing it just makes me feel like it's the kind of watch I want.

Went on a shopping day out with mum today and since we were walking around aimlessly, she suggested watch-shopping, for fun.

Popped into a few watch boutiques in town but not many carry Balmain, much less the 25th Anniversary edition. Finally found one shop in Wisma that does.

I tried it on my wrist, and the rest is history.

Ok, we did go around scouring almost all the other watch boutiques in Ion, Wisma and Taka, to look at other watches. But the rest all looked the same to me aft I tried on the Balmain watch (I know, it's psychological).

And so we returned back to the shop and mum volunteered to share it with dad and get it as a gift for me. To celebrate the year I got my promo and erm... the year I got hitched :p

And what can be more appropriate than a watch celebrating the 25th anniversary :)
