It's almost as if I was hoping that the pain from the piercing can take away the pain inside my heart. But it didn't hurt, not really. I seem to have a high threshold for pain. Needles scare me a little, but the process itself always seem highly tolerable. Strange. Must be all the years of constantly cutting myself and injuring myself.

Before that, I went to Valleygirl looking at almost every single item in the store, spending about an hour in there trying on clothes and deciding which looked good. I got 2 dresses in the end - one casual, one dressy - for $50. Bargain! :) But the damn store's Eftpos machine wasn't working, so I had to withdraw cash from my bank account. I ended with less than $15 in my cheque account by the end of the day. Thank goodness for wages! Not that it really helped. My cheque account is now slightly above $80. Didn't want to transfer too much from my savings - trying to save (that's why it's a savings account, eh?).

Later, after getting my ears pierced, I met up with the girlies and off we went! To the Bendon lingerie sale! Gosh the store was packed! And that was only 5 minutes or so after the sale started. At one point, they had to close the doors to prevent more people coming in cos there were too many people inside. Crazy, eh? Queues for the fitting rooms and the cashiers were looooong. So we just chose what we want, browse around until the cashiers wasn't as busy, and made our purchases. It was 50% off all bras, and was supposed to be limited to 3 per customer, and to members only. But in the end they gave the discount to everyone, and rang up separate transactions if someone had more than 3. Pretty nice of them but the cashiers sure were hectic! One of the staff looked so stressed I thought she was gonna faint! Poor girl. In the end, we all came out with a Bendon bag in hand, 2 bras each. The sale was a good deal, but some bras were still waaay too expensive, even after 50% off!
