Shopaholic renamed

I should really rename this blog ShopaHALO. You are losing control. Making salesgirls very very happy leh. Yeh, I just survived another shopping trip , and I thought after last week shopping spee, I would you know stop shopping for 3 months. But no, hell. I must be very stressed or either that I must be mad.

It started with me wanting to buy a suit. I am willing to pay for a good one if it looks good on me. So I went through the whole of Orchard shopping belts to shops like the MaxMara, DKNY, BCBG, CK, Karen Miller, Esprit, Mango, Zara, to name a few. I can't seem to find anything I want. So I guess that I am damn desperate to buy something. So I went into a mid-range shop to try on their suits. I left the shop 1 1/2 hours after having tried like over 30 pieces of clothings. The salesgirl thought that she met god, my sister giggled after the overzealous salesperson brought nearly everything for me to see and try. I am survived by a pant suit with a matching shirt, a black dress and 2 skirts and I had to stop myself from trying anymore.

Ok, this one nice i take this.
But Jie, you have not seen the price leh.
Aiya, I was already willing to buy a BCBG suit so this one I can afford lah.
Jie, I think you lost control liao, too many liao, you are making the salesgirl really really happy leh.

I don't want to be on a mailing or call or VIP or club list or whatever you call that but I am already in it. I was even immuned when I paid for it, the pain,if any , i think will only set in when i look at the bank account balance, if any. My sister offered to help me with the 2 big bags because it made me feel rich leh. Then like busy bees we hopped over to Nine West (like a therapy after thinking about its shoes for a week!). CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL. Ok, so I got myself a purple pair. Nice, very Marc Jacobs. Money well-spent.

Since when did I start shopping like this? I am changed. I hardly recognised myself. I am blinded by money and what it can buy. Restrictly speaking I should be shot. I am worried the influence that I am having on my sister.

Jie, it feels good to be rich.
Why leh?
Then can shop like you and got people help you carry your conquered items mah
I am not rich
Can lah, can shop like this can liao, remember your eye cream?

I am worried that she might be picking up this bad habit of mine ( still puzzled when did I become like this) because at her age (she is 18), she is already looking for shoes at Ck, Nine West, Gucci and prada for bags, Anna sui and Clinque for comestics. Why can't she pick up my diligence instead? I realised that I am becoming a very bad influence on my kid sister because when I was at her age, I had only HEARD about the mentioned brands, had NOT browsed in them, had NOT had a sister who brought me to shop in those shops. Whatever happened to my a top will not cost more than $40 policy? Out of the window they go. Ladies and gentlemen, I have become commericalised! I am now just like any other girls. I am now mortalised with sins like everyone else.








I am a mere mortal.
