Hiya Peeps!
Well, it’s been a while since i last wrote… and its not because i was busy with work or anything.. i was just rather… preoccupied. With what you might ask? Well, all in good time my pretties… all in good time… 
First things first. I’m pleased to announce that I have successfully sold ALL of the perfumes listed in my previous entries. The best sale was probably the last one, a girl named Linn bought both the Moschino & MNG perfumes and i gave her an extra discount and some freebies for helping me clear out my stock this time around. Thanx dear! So far I’m proud to say that all my buyers are happy with the products i sold them and there were a few repeat businesses as well.
To those who were still enquiring about the perfumes, i apologize for not being able to accomodate your needs for now… the perfumes were selling like hot cakes and I had go by the first come first serve basis. Do look up this blog in the future, you never know what I might be offering for sale next!
So speaking of sales, as most of you should know by now.. its the infamous MegaSale nationwide. And of course, the madness is only just beginning. I can’t help but be swept away with the madness too! I mean, how can I not? All the departmental stores are having members sale on top of the megasale promotions, boutiques that hardly ever have sales are cutting prices down to 50% or more.. and when you think you can’t take anymore.. there are warehouse sales popping up like mushrooms after a rainstorm! Since June, I’ve been to 2 warehouse sales, 1 Jusco members sale, 1 Ikea sale and a few more boutiques’ sales. I don’t even dare to peek at my credit card bills coz i fear i might swoon and drop like a fly. Huhuhu.
There is one major culprit to my shopping mania… a website i frequent daily that lists down all the sales ever known to Malaysians living in the Klang Valley. I am seriously addicted to this site that I’m wondering if there is such a thing as Shopaholics Anonymous that I can sign up with. Its been a helluva ride for these last couple of months, and I’m seriously considering locking up my credit card and ATM card and throwing away the key. But of course, that will never happen… I always talk myself out of it in the end.. haha.
But i guess its not all bad. During these sales, i made quite a few new friends over the internet — fellow shopaholics, too! Some turned out to be really good friends who share shopping tips and insider infos while others display the darker side of shopping mania. Its then that i realize that I’m not THAT bad off.. Some of my new made friends’ pursestrings are even looser than mine. Some have no control whatsoever and just cant stop themselves from going from one sale to another, cash or no cash. Some are even so "kiasu" that they would hold on to the items they want as if somebody’s gonna pry it out of their hands.
I’ve seen so many crazy shopper antics to remind myself never to stoop to that level ever! They are merely material things.. some wont even last that long and you most certainly cant take it to the grave. So if u dont get what you want, perhaps coz its sold out, or you’re out of moolah, or you just plain cant afford it — RELAX. There will be other sales in future when you can shop with the extra cash u collected or look for a better alternatives than the one u initally wanted. I keep telling myself this over and over to avoid myself from being too disappointed. In fact, I even made a wishlist — a list of items i want to own, hopefully in the near future — and its a constant reminder for me to work harder and earn that much more money to afford the things i want.
So here goes…
:: MY WISHLIST ::
1. Honda City - I know i could’ve listed down a more expensive car but I’m starting out with easy, achievable things first. So my dreamcar Toyota Caldina can wait (or hubby can consider getting it someday, haha — *hint hint wink wink*). Why Honda City? Coz i’ve heard really good things about it, and its definitely bigger than my current Kelisa. Its kinda hard to move about in a small car when you have a baby (and all the things that come with a baby) huhu.
2. An Original Coach Handbag - Yes, i’ve just been bit by the Coach Handbag Bug. I cant help myself. They’re just so beautiful! But each one costs at least half my salary so thats why this is going straight into my wishlist. I need to save up more to get this! Now you may wonder why i would want an original one when there’s sooo many fakies out there that look just as good as the real thing? Well, because if i wanted to REALLY motivate myself, might as well aspire to get something thats original and really worth the effort. Methinks it would make me love the bag even more. Also, I have never owned an original designer bag in my life save for this small Guess dinner bag that I bought during a warehouse sale.. huhu. Of course, if i were to get one as a present then it doesnt really matter, rite? I love all my presents no matter if its fake or not.. hehehe
3. A Fossil Leather Wallet - There’s this lovely wallet i saw at Jusco… I know its not that expensive, about RM200, but I dont think i can afford it right now so… wishlist it is!
4. A Croc Celeste Lace-Up - Okay, we all know crocs are these super comfy slipper-like footwear that looks like a pair of humongous holey clogs, rite? WRONG!!! These crocs are absolutely DELISH — its casual, feminine, comfy… and way too expensive for me right now.. haha. So no choice but to go straight in my wishlist!
5. A Fossil/DKNY/Guess Watch - To be honest, i already have a watch. A really good one, too. But its really sharp around the edges and i have stopped wearing it ever since i got Deena for fear i might accidentally scratch her with it! (God knows how many times i accidentally scratched myself AND my hubby with it huhu). But I’m sooo not used to having my left wrist this bare so I figure i should get a new watch that’s less dangerous.. huhu. I’ve scouted around abit and found that i like these brands’ designs.. Somehow the bronze metal designs are soo appealing! When i have enuff moolah then perhaps i can get one of them.. huhu.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well, let’s just start with these 5 first, shall we? If i put too many in, i might get too lazy to pursue it. To fellow shopaholics/bloggers/readers, if you find any good deals on the items listed on my wishlist above, kindly let me know! I would greatly appreciate it.. huhu.
So till next entry then.. toodles!
