BROKE BROKE BROKE BROKE BROKE. These 4 days of hols (no paper, haha!) sure did a lot to lighten my wallet. From a fat, un-closable thing to a thin and sorrowful one. ): And thanks to WL, who introduced me to the joys of online shopping, my NETS card will be soon meeting up with the same fate. Double ): oh noooooo.
Still remembered a few years ago, I really detested shopping. As in, reallyyyy cannot stand look at clothes, shoes, bags etc. I'll just stand outside the shop or just walking aimlessly until my friend finish browsing. I especially hated buying shoes, cos need to take out shoes, try, blah blah blah... very time-consuming back then, I thought. And when people squeal, "Eh, this shirt/pants/skirt very nice/cute/cool leh!" I only can muster up a weak grin and go, "Ok lah..." Most of the stuff I had was picked by my mama or given by others. No wonder my fashion sense is like zilch last time. I could probably dig up a couple of photos of me last time, but I figure I might as well save everyone the puke. Nah, not saying my mum's taste is atrocious, but she definitely has a better eye for working clothes (: yup during that time period, I must say I still have money to spare, though not a lot.
Ok, then zoom, a few years past. Pocket money increase is overpowered by increase in spending. Whenever I go out, there will always something that catches my attention and I'll swoon over it and just buy it on impulse, never mind whether I'll ever use it. No more money to spare. This is seriously getting to be a bad habit that is hard to break. ): sigh, why are there so many pretty things in the world ): ): makes me feel like bringing all of them home can! The way I've been spending money nowadays (or at least the past 4 days), is like I grow pots and pots of 10 dollar bills in my room that I have no place to sleep. Shop, shop, shop, shop dao yao pock liao lah.
This is just a reflective entry I have today and hopefully it will make me feel guilty and spend lesser in the days to come (:
