sometimes life just get you down, and up, and down

[long post alert!]

i confess.....i am a shopaholic...i used to deny it, convincing myself those items that I am buying were just absolutely necessary! i mean, how would I ever step out in public if I didn't get those shoes, or that mascara? i mean i really need them mah!! at least i spend within my limits correct? and the things i buy are quite cheap right? [shopping tip: partially cos less expenditure on one thing means I can buy more things with the little money i have]

i used to take things for granted, cos of the free time i had, on an average, i went shopping:
1)almost 3-4times a week[malls, pasar malam],
2)or like browsing [guardian, popular]
3)or if really desperate, like in the middle of the night[mustafa, 7-11]

i mean window shopping is ok, but its more fun with money in the pocket, or at least, a credit card. i realised that if i went out and didn't buy anything or eat anything, i'd feel strangely disappointed...like nothing mattered anymore, and my mood for the rest of the day would be spoilt. I thought that it was just a phase, I mean, if you went shopping and didnt get anything, you'd be disappointed too right?

i was wrong.

When I started work last month, i felt all my free time waving white handkerchiefs to me in farewell as the balls evily beckoned to me. At first, it was still ok...then two weeks later....i started to feel uncomfortable...like something was wrong.......the feeling lasted till the day i had to make my way home myself. Taking the bus to Orchard, I had to cross the road to Wisma to get to the train...as I neared the shopping mall, I need blusher! i remembered..so my legs automatically went towards the magic sliding doors.

Suddenly, I felt alive! all the shops! long time no see! casually i walked around and savoured the moment. little did i know that once i stepped into the first shop, I became a mad woman. I wanted to buy everything! But I was trying to make my money last till the end of the month.It was pure torture, i tell you! To see all the available merchandise and not being able to own them.

in the end, i bought blush, eyebrow mascara[it looked interesting ok?], a skirt, fancy bra straps, a lippie and blotters....all in 5mins....practically grabbing at them..and i hurried home with guilty eyes averted, avoiding glances at Forever21[just in case!] ....clutching at my plastic bags. Instead of the usual slump i had adopted within the two weeks of work, I now stood straight, filled with energy, walking with a bounce in my step.......

Shopping is a great form of exercise you know? both mentally and physically.

I went make-up shopping and invested in false eyelashes!i bought three different kinds haha together with Fiberwig mascara and eyelash growth formula!

so so happy!so went home to try the falsies.....not too easy though...and it was very long, so look like wayang lidat.......but it looked so gorgeous!

so chio right?but needs a lot of practice actually. i almost poked my eye out a few times.i plan to find time to perfect my false-eyelash-wearing skill and wear them on Saturday! We are going to Ministry of Sound...=) Haven't been to any club for such a long time...hope that we all don't appear too swakoo~ and hope that if I wear my falsies they wouldn't fall off halfway......it would be SOOOO embarrassing

but at least now i know that all the gorgeous lashes that i saw on other girls are all FAKE! muahahaha!

was stoning in the MRT when two girls came in and stood in front of me. Horror of Horrors! her skirt!

i just couldn't take my eyes off that horrible skirt! she looked quite ok actually, whatever prompted her to buy this hideous tablecloth? if anyone knows this girl with the skirt, please let her know that she should dispose of this piece of *ugh* cloth IMMEDIATELY.

They should have a committee that inspects all the clothes brought in to our stores for consumption. Ugly clothes should be banned and burnt. A standard should be set for material, durability, style and trend factor.

What will tourists think when they see us Singaporeans docked in curtain material, complete with tassles and hooks?

p/s. to the girl-in-ugly-skirt: no offence sister, I think you are gorgeous, but that skirt does you no justice at all. Period.
