Up up up up up!!!!

Ironically, when the price of everything goes up, the price of petrol went down - To my GREATEST delight.

I have always lamented that with a change of work location all the way to ulu Sembawang, I hardly get to town. I hardly get to shop, etc. Each time I pass through a shopping centre, I would be bewildered at the changes and would wonder when would I have a day to 'shop'? (Not like shopping is my favourite hobby. In fact, it's not even in my list of hobbies or past time)

And so, today, I had a little time whilst waiting for Geo's meeting to be over. I made my way to Plaza Singapura QUITE determined to shop around and get something. I went in to one shop after another and lost interest quite fast. The prices are sky high! I look at the prices of the clothes and I really can't bring myself to buy anything. Perhaps, as I grew older, I grew more stingy.

However!!!! However, humans will ALWAYS have their weaknesses!!! I dropped by the scrapbooking shops and made purchases that probably cost me 2 pieces of clothings. Haa!!! But well, it's really for a good cause - birthday gift & wedding gift.


At this juncture, I am filled with guilt & embarrassment. I have promised a couple that I will help out in their post-wedding guest book (like since May) and till now, it's still sitting on my table waiting for my inspiration to drop by. As much as they understand that I am not having a good time at work, I still feel bad. *sigh*... To put it simply, I realized that I work VERY well with deadlines. Give me a deadline and I will work well.
