[Shopaholic]
I decided to be my usual shopaholic adelynn over the weekend, and i had a wonderful excuse to use - GST Hike
*well, its a bad excuse, but i guess 20,000 other pple walking around town in big/small bags will concur with my excuse*
and with the miserable $100 the govt gave me for the GST rebate *i did some backcount, and it will be shopping worth of $5k*, i guess i must have come super close (or worst still, went over the limit) to blowing the $100 off.
i dun like to count back how much i spend, for ill always faint at the amount i spend and start asking 'did i really spend so much?'
[my mum decided to join in the shopping spree, also using the GST Hike as an excuse, and blew off $1400 just on her face cream *HUH?* yea, tell me about it man. I was stunned for a sec, and when she went on to say 'hey my face is worth much more than that' i got the logic of it, and kept quiet]
And days before the GST rebate came in, i received an unwanted letter from IRAS; asking me for my income tax. Amount? Much much more than the $100 the govt gave me
*sighs* they give a lil, make pple happy for awhile, and then someway or another, take it back double or triple; worst still, even more than that!
I think i finally understand as to why am i so broke, and the reason doesn't lie completely in my incessant shopping habits, but also of the way SG is being crafted and built.
*hehe, i make nonsensical excuses for me always spending and becoming broke*
Well, SS isnt any better either, he's a closet shopaholic; and can be worst than me (at times)
Well, he tapped unto my excuse and continued shopping away happily and carrying my shopping bags.
[we're both quite terrible ain't we?]
TPs on the road are gettin more by the day *probably due to the NDP upcoming*
which is a usual trend each year, and poor Xiaobai has to watch where she goes and what she does for the time being, crossing fingers hopin that she'll be safe somehow from more 'donations' to the fireworks fund
the weekend was tiring... (prob over-shopped) served me right!
and its the beginning of a new week, with a bad start too. client came down to look for me like 930am in the morning. Can be a nightmare sometimes, cuz i was in a half daze when he popped by. Breakfast's stil sitting on my table, for more than half a day? Im quite terrible with regular eating habits, no wonder the gastric's getting worse...
