splurging again

I lied. I said I was not going to buy anymore clothes this year.
The year has not ended but I've bought 5 new ones at one go (yes, you read right 5 at one go).
And I stupidly paid about RM116 so willingly..
This has got to be my most impulsive purchase so far this year. 
My weakness is when they are on 70% and 80% row.
I bought it while ah dear was overseas .. 
didn't want to let him know initially but I ended up telling him that
'I've spent money again buying clothes' which according to him I seldom wear.

Really this time, no more buying clothes till a year later.
This time it's going to take whatever I have to stop myself.

wth...i have a library list?

I have a very bad habit ...
I couldn't stop buying books ... although I've sort of tone down my addiction (thankful to my group of buddies who remind me when I have the urge ...hohoho).
I'm very well aware of the fact that I'm not capable of reading as fast as I replenish my stock but I still went ahead and buy.
I'm unstoppable in that sense.
Somehow there's this voice (the evil side of me) that say 'Go ahead, you'll find time to savour the book. If you don't reward yourself with something you like, when else do you get to enjoy? '

I keep buying so much so that I lost track of the books 
(a) that I want to read but not yet buy (usually due to price)
(b) that I want to read and bought 
(c) that I buy because I think I want to read
(d) that I bought but not yet read

so to avoid buying the same title (same book with different edition / cover), I decided it'll be best to have some indexing of the books I have ... currently I'm using author name for indexing and include details such as 
(a) author name
(b) book title
(c) hard / soft cover
(d) price I paid 
(e) place & year of obtain
(f) status - completed / reading / next in line ...

as for now, I'm determined to stop buying till this year end until I clear a little more from my existing pile. As always, did I mention about exception?? =p 
I really need to go to ONE before the year end ... the one with the WOLF .... lol

on why i couldn't resist grocery shopping

 

 so colourful, so many varieties, so 'never a dull moment',
so many packaging design, so competitive ... that in the end we found there's a hole in our pocket ^^!

the thing about online shopping

Talking about the kind of relationship I have with online shopping, I feel rather silly.

It's the love-hate-hate-love type.

I go head over heels at times and within seconds I loathe it.

You see the thing is : 

(a) Online shopping is so so convenient, I do not have to even leave my home to get the stuff I want. Reason for saying this : I had once got myself something as intimate as nursing breast pump online ... just like that' without even trying. Mind you, it wasn't even cheap, cost a few hundred bucks.

(b) I can compare prices and check out the best deals.

(c) I can get much more varieties as compared to physical store.

(c) I can see what other people have to say about the retailers and get to research about each product.

(d) I get things delivered to my doorstep. Anticipating the arrival of goodies is exciting.

(e) You don't get salesperson following around or pretending like they are not paying attention / looking at you when they are trying very hard to 'eye' you.

BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT (there's always but, isn't it)

those things that I love is those thing that I loathe 

(A) the fact that I can (fill up with answers from (a) to (e) above) is really killing me. 

It make spending hard-earned so easy, so irresistible, so 'at the snap of finger'.

Oh, btw, did I mention this year I'm even getting CNY clothes online. See what I mean?! LOL
