You won't believe how little shopping I've done today & how huge the amount adds up to. Sigh! I can't believe myself & the hidden potential within me.
I was suppose to shop for my colleague's birthday pressie, which is a $80 Royal Sporting House voucher & (as usual) I ended up getting more things for myself instead. I spent a whopping $118.69 in just 4 shops buying nothing but, earrings, bracelet, necklace & pendant & more earrings (4 pairs in total) & damn! I forgot about rings! Digression: You won't believe me, but I actually bought 2 pairs from Kalm's. Yes the shop that sells Tatty Teddy & greeting cards. They just had to place the earrings in a utterly strategic location, i.e. near the cashier, so that I'll see it when I pay for the birthday card for my colleague. The fact is clear! I'm a complete sucker for such adornments. There is no way I can walk pass a accessories shop without spending at least 20 minutes inside trying to find something to pop my vitamin M pills. I'm suffering from what I call, I-Need-New-Jewellery-Again Syndrome.
It's in-born & I've submit myself wholly to fate. There is absolutely no cure for this. It's just like how some women spend a bomb buying shoes that'll filled a whole friggin' bedroom. And how 'lil boys spend all their money (or rather their parents') on all those small packets of shiny yet useless cards. And also how some geeks spend some grand sum buying modification parts for their darling wives (read: computers). Oh well, just trying to prove I'm not the only being suffering from such syndromes.
I've decided. IF I were to lose my job, I'll start my own adornment business. I even thought of a name & a tagline! Twinkling Trinkets, be-dazzled.
