So I have been looking around for a while now for some new sunnies to replace my venerable Revo’s. There is nothing wrong with the old sunnies but After about almost 2 years with these sunnies they are getting kinda tired and I felt i needed some new ones. For a while now as well I have been just browsing for a new watch. Something to replace my work watch which I wear every day and have been since like year 8 (when dad gave me this watch). Today I was meeting Kelly for lunch in the city so I thought i might go in a bit earlier and check out what I could find in the city. I hadn’t planned on getting anything at all. I walked up to Sunglass Hut in the city. Had some awesome music pumping (with a DJ mixing on some decks as well) and some very cute girls working in the store. Thought to myself, now this is the way to shop, I could be happy with this. So I went in and remembered that Blair had some Raybans that looked pretty good. Immediately as I walked up towards some sunnies one of the cute staff members was up to offer me some help (and probably try to make a sale). Had a look at a few different pairs and found a couple of pairs I liked and was probably not going to get anything. She went off to help another couple (o well no sale for her) and another staff member came up while I was trying on some sunnies. This girl was a lot cuter. She came up and immediately asked if I needed some help and if she can maybe pick out a few styles for me. I said I was just looking and she said not a problem. As I tried on another pair she saw me put a pair on and said “they look great on you” (they looked ok) and then she asked a couple of questions about what I was after etc so I thought I may as well give her a break and let her try and sell me something. She didnt actually pick anything out but definately pointed me in the right direction.

They did mention that I would get a free watch with purchase but i was like schmeh it will just be some dodgy thing. So after a great lunch catching up with Kelly, I thought I need some female advice of the none sales kind. So we went down to Sunglass Hut and I tried them on infront of Kelly. And of course over somes the same sales girl. After independant female approval i was like ill take it! Wasn’t to bad $220 for the glasses and they looked good. I was like so i get a free watch big deal it will be crap. So the sales girl takes me over to this wall of all these amazing looking watches which are probably pretty expensive. She says to me “pick whichever one you want” I was gobsmacked. Asked her if she was serious and she says yes. I picked up a watch that immediately pulled my interest and then checked the price ($220) and shes like that looks good. It was something that would go down well at work so thought why the hell not 😀

So after kelly saw me get the $220 watch for free she was like “OMG I HAVE TO GET SOMETHING NOW!” so she went off to look around while I paid for my purchases. Kelly never ended up getting anything but I was happy with my purchase. I am still a tad gob smacked about the whole free watch thing. I have to go back to the store on monday to get them to take a link out cause its a tad to big around the wrist. Was good to catch up with kelly hear about all the stuff I have missed and just catching up with such an awesome person.

In other news, nothing huge. Another Star night down on tuesday with another certificate in the bag. Getting closer and closer to end of year.
