Shopaholic? Nah, not really.

"So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be."

April 23
I felt both happy and sad.

Woke up at 10 plus in the morning since I had no work.
My mum took off from her work for some reason I cannot remember because she tried to explain stuff to me while I was still half-asleep and buried underneath pillows and my blankie. All I remembered was her asking me to leave the house at 11 plus am because she asked somebody over to check out fengshui or something - thought my mum never quite believed in such stuff. Anyway, I refused to leave the house at 11 in the morning because where can I even go?! And what am I supposed to do outside? I asked my mum why I had to leave the house since her friend's checking the house, and not me, out.

Turns out that you're not supposed to be in the house if you're of a certain zodiac sign - affects the reading or something. It doesn't make sense to me. And so, I stayed in bed and my mum gave up on her fengshui thing because I didn't want to leave the house. At about 12 plus, I brought my mum for a tour around town. She was to be in town at 12.45pm to collect her watch from some place but the guy asked her to go back another day and since we were on our way to town, we just walked about and SHOPPED. I felt like I haven't shopped for a really long time. Quite? I guess~

Bought a top and a pair of denim shorts from Topshop and got the membership card so yay 10% off next time + discount vouchers if I'm not wrong. My mum couldn't decide if she should get that top she wanted because she thought it was too expensive. I forced her to get it and charge it on my card (HAHAHA LIKE AS IF I HAVE A LOT IN MY ACCOUNT). I wanted to have the chance to spend my salary on somebody what~~~~ But my mum still used her card to pay for everything we bought. -.-

Then after, we snacked at Taka and I walked my mum to A&F (because she wanted to see how hot the guys were. Weirdly, the guys standing outside A&F wore clothes but the guys standing inside A&F were half naked LOL) My mum left at about 3 plus? And I met Chan after that.

We had ~tea time~ at Medz. I had some Bread Butter Pudding + Irish Latte <3 while Chan had her Lava cake and some potato rosti. We stayed there for close to an hour - had to settle the bill before 5pm so that we still get our students' promotion. ^^ (*We talked about how sian we feel about uni, which I shall blog about maybe next time from my POV*)
Walked to Cine where we bought a ring each then to FEP to see if we could find some stuff for Dancenight. But we couldn't. Chan and I walked into this costume shop and the lady kept asking me "What are you dressing up as?" LOL I didn't know how to reply to that question because I wasn't trying to dress up as anything??? We sorta described the bottoms we're trying to find and she asked if we're dressing up as pirates. HAHAHAH

MM... we both bought a bag. Mine was a mini one though ^^ Like really small. HAHA Shall take a picture next time. I almost bought mini uno cards. ><
Then we walked to Ion for snacks - chillaxed at Tea Loft. 

Somehow, my mind drifted off to somewhere where it shouldn't really be and I felt damn sian. So I asked Chan if she wanted to walk about in F21 and I remember saying (LOL I JUST REMEMBERED ) "WE WALK ABOUT BUT DON'T BUY STUFF"

But as we entered F21, we just went crazy and took like 5 pieces? of clothing into the changing rooms LOL I couldn't take my eyes off the neon tops. NEONNNNNNNNNN!!!! HAHAHA I find neon colours really attractive but, how often do I even wear neon?! I bought some neon top from F21 once and wore it only like twice so far? **Neon heels are on my want list though**

I saw bikini tops on sale for $8.

$8.

The bikini was totally shouting at me. Asking, pleading, begging me to take it home.
And yes I bought it. Almost wanted to buy the other tops I tried but............. nah. Save some shopping for next time. I'm really tired and I felt like I went crazy shopping today because I wanted and needed to distract myself from unnecessary thoughts. It worked I guess?
I'm really pleased with my yellow bikini top though I have no idea when I'll wear it - I've been planning to go to the beach before A's started and like, how many months actually passed? LOL I haven't even worn the blue one I bought from H&M.

Conclusion: Retail therapy works.

Girlfriends and money make me happy. True story.
