CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC

Men always have this skeptical view of a woman being a shopaholic. Hear me now fellas, you are dead wrong. Not all women are born shopaholics. None of us knows that some day we will become one. It is some kind of a spell that falls on selected beings, that is all. So basically a shopaholic is a person who is a compulsive shopper. One who does not know how to stop shopping; often buys clothes and other things for herself (even for others - now go thank them). They shop, shop, shop until they drop - simply because they can't stand being weighed down by those shopping bags. Not to mention the sore feet and red aching soles from endless walking in sky-high Bordello heels.

Yums.

*******************

How do you know that you are a shopaholic? Easy. Answer these very straightforward, nail-biting questions and you will have the answer.

Have you ever shopped something secretly and tried to store them somewhere without allowing anyone in the household to be aware of those purchases?

~well, duh?

Shopping is no longer your hobby, but a habit. You shop when you are up, and you shop even more when you are down.

~can't help it

Your life quotes have somehow changed its meaning to something like, "What we can't solve in real life, we solve it through retail therapy". Or "If the shoe fits, get another just like it".

~who told you that?

You know you shop way too often to some extent where you think your wardrobe and room should already be a shopping paradise.

~err..

When someone tells you that you shop not because you need something but just for shopping's sake, you fickle. But when you try to explain to them, you stumble. "Just because" is your safest answer.

~pfft. pfft.. *rolls eyes*

*******************

SO WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY...

We shop because we like pretty things.

We shop because we want to look beautiful.

We shop because we are born with nine friggin' lusts.

We shop because we HAVE to shop.

Just because.

If it wasn't for us, all the money in the world would have no meaning.

It's not our fault that we can't stop shopping, it's the retailers who tempt us back into their stores!
*ehehehehe*

"We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops."

-Henny Youngman-

So guys, as long as you haven't said this yourself to your woman then there is nothing to be worried about. She is not (yet) a so-called compulsive shopper. Back her up! You love her, don't you?

"WISHLIST 2011"

If you happened to be one of my readers then you would notice this once;

Doesn't this ring a bell?

Well since I went hiatus for MONTHS, I didn't have the chance to tell you this good news! Of course, this might not be a surprise to some of you but
YES, I DID GET MYSELF AN iPHONE 4
*high five! high five!*

That very first choice in my 2011 Wishlist!

HOW AWESOME IS THAT?

And it's in WHITE!

(June 9, 2011 - Mid Valley)

I couldn't be more happier, trust me. Long story short, after a VERY LONG discussion, research and so forth (no joke!), we did flip a coin to choose between the iPhone 4 and the HTC Desire HD.

Ah, you know the winner already!

♥

OH MY SUNNIES!

What'cha think?

Screw guilt!
So here's the thing.
I've been eyeing a couple of sunglasses lately and I think I'm going for one.
*Whoa, that came out straight!*

Well, who doesn't love sunnies?
Not only they protect our eyes from damaging solar rays, they also make us look darn good wearing it! I love how sunnies get so trendy these days. They come in various designs, colours and shapes. Forget the old, boring look. Put them on, and voila! You're fashionably good to go.


What’s not to love?

And yes, we cannot just wear any kind of sunglasses – that will spoil the look. The perfect pair of sunnies should actually flatter our face shape AND balance our natural features out.


The basic rule is simple:
The frame should contrast with our face shape!


Now thanks to Google, (YOU ROCK, MAN!) 'cause I'm no expert so you might want to continue reading these. Get pretty, man! --- Ladies and gents!


OVAL FACE
Consider yourself lucky. Why? Because you don't have to worry about anything when it comes to shopping for sunglasses – most frame shapes will work for you! Round or square frames, oversized shades, aviators, and everything in between... Pick one, it's YOUR choice!

Sunnies for Oval Faces


ROUND FACE
It's all comes down to the basic rule. You need angular sunglasses to balance out the roundness. You also need straight lines to balance the feature so look for square or rectangular frames if possible. If you have large features and a large face, forget tiny sunglasses as they will only make your face/features look distorted.

Sunnies for Round Faces

HEART-SHAPED FACE
A heart shaped face is wider at the top than at the bottom. Your style is the Aviators. Man, how I love aviator shades! Good for you, they are super-flattering on heart-shaped faces. Also, certain rounded and rectangular frames work just fine too!
*Well, am I in this category?*

Sunnies for Heart-shaped Faces

SQUARE FACE
Those with square faces should stick to curved sunglasses – they help soften your facial features and downplay your angular face shape. Your strong jawline is the main focus so draw the attention away from it by choosing frames that sit slightly higher than usual on your face. It will help draw the eye up toward your eyes.
*Or this one? 'cause I do have strong jawlines?*

Sunnies for Square Faces

So which one are you in?
I'm excited.

3 DAYS OF FUN!

HEAR YE, HEAR YE!

I’VE GOT GOOD NEWS!
*woot woot!*

Well, I just got home from Shah Alam (yesterday) and I spent three days there for various reasons. I had fun, TOTALLY. All thanks to my dear Boo. I absofreakinglutely enjoyed these 3 days so much. It was a joyful ride each time, no matter where we go.

************

Day 1

So I went there last Saturday, by bus of course. Later when I arrived, we went straight to Seoul Garden for Boo’s 26^th small birthday celebration. A lovely day it was.

Oh, and guess who I met? My junior from SSP, IZZATI [Izat] -- She was as lanky as always! Knew her when she was in Form 1 while I was in Form 4. We were in the same sport's house, RED HOT RUBY in which a year later, I became the *ahem* House Captain.

Next stop was our favourite mall, Mid Valley. His, to be honest. Hehe and YES!! I finally bought a new handbag and a stiletto! Both are very, VERY gorgeous looking – they made me drool! Well, the day went by just as great.

Shopping is the best therapy?

*PRECISELY*

Oh, and there was a PIKOM PC FAIR too. It was hectic, crowds everywhere and they had such small lanes for everyone to jostle around – not really Boo’s thing. Poor baby. Well I bought a new cooling pad, that and only that. Haha. The place was packed like h*ll so... Thanks again Baby.

あなたはほんとに最高です！

(Anata wa honto ni saikōdesu!)

-- You’re the best! --

We had Subway for dinner.

************

Day 2

Attended Lulu's wedding (Fit's sister), after that we went to Amcorp Mall to find a tailor for my next “Wedding Kurung”. Oh, don’t get me wrong. It is for K.Mel’s (Boo’s friend). Can you imagine? RM120 for a simple, PLAIN modern kurung? And an additional of 100-freaking-50-ringgit just for the beads?? No way I would spend my money THAT much. JEEZ, that was undoubtedly overrated but I had no choice.

Later, we went back to Mid Valley for some mouth-watering dinner at Nando’s. It’s been awhile since we last ate there. Imagine Nando’s hot chicken and spicy sauces... Ah, just the thought of them makes my mouth water. Again.

BLVD. What a night...

P/s: Met my old SSP friends, Azie and Picah at Jusco; doing part-time. Hehe. Hey, girls!

************

DAY 3

Another fun day at Mid Valley.

*Saw Yayez with her boyfie. Ehem*

Played a few games at the video games arcade (what’s the name?) before we watched Beastly. It was the only 11.00++am show we could get before I went back to Tapah so I blame no one for that. Only ✰✰✰ from me – Nothing to brag about really, but still watchable. It's pretty much a human version of Beauty and The Beast, with a little twist of its own originality. It has good moral values to learn from, too.

Then we headed straight to Shah Alam for my walk-in interview and here’s the GOOD NEWS!

I GET THE JOB! WOOHOO!

From now on, you may call me a BEAUTICIAN. Hahaha.

Heck yeah, no kidding! I’m a beautician. Not yet officially but I’ll start working as one starting the next Monday. RY Saloon. Well, there’s so many things to think about now as I have only less than a week to make a decision – whether or not to accept the offer; with my bestie’s wedding invitation on this coming Sunday – to go or not to go and to be prepared for everything that I might need during the “migration”... Man, tough call.

However, I thank Allah for making it easier as I prayed for and I want to thank everyone for the kind prayers and wishes. You know who you are. Best of luck to me, hope everything goes fine since the first day and onwards. InsyaAllah.

To my dear boo,
