Confession of A Shopaholic
March 30, 2009
Last weekend watched this movie with Sum1. This time I get to choose the movie since the last time we went out for a movie, it was a disaster. We watched a movie entitled “Diary of the Dead” which of course, selected by Sum1 who likes horror flicks and gory ones. The movie was filmed behind a moving camera, as if you’re the one holding camera with the walking and all. You know, sort of the Blair Witch Project style. I ended up getting a huge headache and we left the cinema in a huff.
So that was the end of our movie date some time ago.
So this time around, I was so excited about the movie and turned out, it is a great watch! It is packed with humour and loads of color. Of course, it is very different from the book version, but anyway, for a movie starved lass like me, it is still a fab movie!
Mind you, even my fiance didnt fall asleep while watching! He even laughed dengan penuh bersemangat sekali, menyebabkan hati saya pun suka melihatnya.
But watching the film, I had a nagging feeling that I am*gulp* have some shopaholic syndrome:
1. I watch for sales/warehouse sales with eyes like a hawk..
2. Buying something makes me feel happier…
3.I go to warehouse sales in a great spirit and a well armed purse (and a suffering bank balance
)..
4. Sum1 actually taught me how to stand properly in the crowd so that I can keep my position at the front of the crown …
5. Sum1 taught me how to avoid stampede (which happens in warehouse sales) and the importance of having sharp elbows in times like this!
6. I learnt a few words in Cantonese and Mandarin from Sum1 and my future MIL (who likes warehouse sales too hehe) with specific use for pointing to desired items and asking for its price. Next lesson: Haggling in Mandarin 101 (This is frighteningly like Becky Bloomwood, who in her case takes refuge in Finnish language)
I dont want to be a shopaholic. I want to be a matured and perfectly poised lady, financially savvy and knowledgable about finance fancy terms. I want to be someone who is well put together with her priorities RIGHT.
So…I just need to reprioritize, right?
So, then, my priorities would be:
1. Wedding
2.Honeymoon trip
3.A proper Hobo Bag from..maybe one of The 10 Best Hobo Bags by marie claire? *sigh*
4.A House
There.
My priorities is right and I am well set up to achieve those goals just in that sequence.
Oh, please dont question me on that little no 3 item.
Please.
Pweeety please.
