When The Going Gets Tough, The Though Goes Shopping
It is that time of the year again..
When people line up in front of the mall 1/2 before it's opening hour..
When you spend your money senseless..
And swipe the cards faster and more often than KTM Commuter trains..
Yup, it is the Mega Sale Carnival again..and I haven't been shopping myself!!
There are so many occasions these two months. August alone will see about 5 birthdays of close friends and relatives, and another 4 in September PLUS two weddings that I won't be forgiven if I don't show.
So last weekend Buster and I braved ourselves to finally roam ALL the shops in OU and managed to get 4/9 gifts needed. Not too bad! Saw the HP pumps I wanted, but it wasn't on sale in HP itself. It was 10% in some of the other stores, but funny enough it was listed as New Arrival. Yeah right, I have been eyeing it for months!
There are so many things I wanted to get for Buster and myself. With the promise of the bonus and miniscule increment the I-want-everything side of me already has a mental picture of the shopping bags would bring home but looking the financial and other plans I guess the more practical side of me took over. *Get the presents first, put aside the money for the trip to JB, pay off credit card in full, etc etc*
One joy about getting gifts for some of these people is that delightful smile you see on their excited faces when they open the presents. A priceless moment that'll make you forget your own wants momentarily. *bliss*

Oooh, but I still do wish sometimes I just let that slightly selfish side of me takes over - especially when that particular black handbag stares me right in the face everytime I pass it! *grin*
