money makes the world go round. alright, i know all the preachings going about even in emails on what money cant buy, but from what i do know, money makes my world go round. i dont mean literally round but yeah, you get where im drifting from, it makes me happy.
it was actually quite surprising that i had spent under $100 right after being released from my last paper. you have no idea how excited i was- finally going back to work ( i still dont like my boss but like i said, money makes my world go round and its all professionally for the paycheck), training hard during the week, hanging out with friends and even spending time with my television shows.
michelle was really a bad influence, from eating dimsum for lunch which left me $20 lesser in cash terms (we kinda gorged on the food- but spore dimsum is still a whole lot better) and lunch took us and hour and a half, since other than part time eating, we were on full time gossiping. it's funny how you place two singaporeans together and you get a whole lot of auntie's gossip- from how cute the toddler was to how hot the waiters were or spying what people were eating.
we went on a shopping spree in town after that and bought clothes from JayJays and some jewelly from Diva, the thing was that both of us had ran out of cash- and had no choice but to resort to the eftpos method of credit sale. i bought earrings, a strip t-shirt and a black army print winter jacket. i'll take pictures of me in them once i start wearing them.
we went to look for boots but figured out i wasnt cut out for boots. it was weird shopping for shoes since i dont normally do so and the only few pairs of shoes i have are my converse sneakers, thongs, skate shoes, running nike shoes and a pair of black slippers. we were laughing all the way while trying out different cuts, lengths and styles of boots. to think i was a size 4 and i found it different to stuff my feet into a pair of boots with a size 6 on it. i was struggling and everyone of laughing, even the assistant beside me. we try on another pair and i took it out with so much force and relieve that i hit against the side of the cupboard.
oh gosh, i miss my shopping days with my girlfriends. having spent that much today, tommorrow's work should be able to cover up most of the cash out from my bank account. after shopping, its the reality you face in your bank savings. but for all its worth and its short-term happiness, im willing to take on another shopping spree.
and michelle, you are still a bad influence but im learning fast.
