Fossil Watch- Private sale 6 Dec 2008

cant imagine i queued up nearly 5 hours just to buy a watch. yeah.. u heard correctly. 5 hours...well, this is of cos insignificant as compared to the "mc donald hello kitty" queues back in my sec sch days, thanks to my sis who wanted to collect all designs.

I was at city hall and decided to check out the fossil watch private sale. Hadnt had much info abt it..so just drop by to chk out whether there is any good deal... and by e time when i was at suntec, it was ard 4.30pm. the sale has started since noon. there's up to 80% discounts for D&G watches, adidas, fossil hse brands etc so the queue was terrible.. it is so long that it extended to the escalator. I started to join the queue and freaked, it was longer than the Singtel roadshow. But heck, just queue lar. Dun wan to miss good deals since I am here..

alot of the ppl came prepared, with frens, bf or gf...and I was alone.. so i just pluck in my mp3 and just stare helplessly at the queue, waiting for it to progress... within the next hr, those who went to chk out the queue at the entrance came back telling their friend that the queue was crazy and that they couldnt figure out the entrance at all.... cos it was totally packed w ppl at the front.. eventually, the ppl in front and behind me left the queue. I was still hesitating whether i shd give up... but since i queued for an hr already, perhaps i shd just stay on.. escalation of commitment bah.

time slowly passed...from 1 hr to another hr... then 3 hrs into the queue...i finally near the entrance...the signage indicated 3 halls but actually only 1 small hall is for sales....the others was for collection, customer service... and before getting in, you must put all ur things into a clear plastic bag and sealed...when i finally got in..boy.. it was chaotic... ppl are pushing against the tables showcasing the discounted watches..it was a pretty ugly scene. after squeezing for half hr, i was still at the back of the crowds... sian..so i was thinking of leaving empty handed but felt that few hrs of queuing was wasted... so i just force my way into the crowd to scrutinize at the different brands.. Marc Jacobs was too exp still, whereas they didnt have the colour i want for adidas..and the only D&G which i spotted was a little too simple...so i decided to settle for fossil...again.. my 2nd piece so far...

$65, at 40% or 50% off orginal price... think this is an old model... cos i cant find it online... but i still like it...
