Shopping with Evelyn and her mum for her sister's wedding's gift


Two weeks ago, Evelyn’s mum and Evelyn were in Singapore for 2 days to shop for her sister’s wedding jewellery and other things for wedding. I had asked Eve to help me buy a bottle of 1L of Martell VSOP in the airport, as I had to started preparing for my bro’s wedding dinner which held in the beginning of next year. It wasn’t cheap when I started to convert the price into Ringgit as Martell VSOP cost S$77 and in Johor, it sells at RM150-RM180 per bottle.

We went shopping in orchard and went to almost all the jewellery boutiques in orchard to look for an ideal jewellery piece for her sister. We even went into Cartier to look at jewellery pieces, the services that they provide was truly impress even though we didn’t make it a point to dress up before going in and other customers in there look at us like an alien. This was my first time in my life to enter such a posh jewellery boutique and the jewellery pieces in there were really beautifully design and crafted. Apart from this, I was so amazing with the way they service their customers, the sale girl had to knee down on floor showing us the jewellery pieces while we were sitting on sofa in their VIP room.

We also went to Bulgari and Channel jewellery boutiques to look at jewellery but was disappointed in their servies. As the moment we went in, their eyes were liked scanner, they looked at us from head to toes a few and reluctant to services us. The unpleasant services made us very uncomfortable and we left after browsing jus a few items on the display.

Same things happend when we went to Flower Diamonds boutique, the sales staffs were very unfriendly and very reluctant to services us. No smile at their face when servicing us and wasnt keen to answer our request. Evelyn's mum interested in a few jewellery pieces and wanted to buy right away but I told her to go and have a look at other boutiques before making decision. After shopping a few more jewellery boutique, Evelyn's mum still keen on the deisgn from Flower Diamonds boutique. Evelyn's mum bought a pain of earrings and pendant with necklace for Evelyn's sister. The jewellery was really beatifully design and the earring and pendant can be mixed and match and worn in a few ways. Currently, Flower Diamonds boutique is promoting their jewellery pieces at 9pm show of channel 8.
