the shopping ban list goes on

my weakness has always been books. i saw someone took a photo with a book i would scramble finding out about the book and toying with the idea of owning it. physical or virtual.

or someone recommended a book i go look for it. or the book blogs or websites made lists of books and i go head over heels and crazy. it has to stop  no?  i know i have a list of my fave authors who have found 2013 as the year for them to publish at the same time. and i have my own bookshopping list. so got to stop.

generally dont even step into a bookshop. dont go amazon.com. dont go kobo. just last week i had a two days course and they brought some books for sale. i couldnt even sit still until i used the $15 voucher i received and bought a book. oh not one, but two books. consider it three because i couldnt get my hands on one hotseller book, but being the addictshit that i am, i  straight away go to amazon.com and purchased it online. i tell you it’s a disease.

it had also been a month of watches. bought a few and, to justify that: it is part of my wishlist and seriously now, that wishlist is complete. no worries they are all bought at crazily sale price. must blame singsale for that.

the best shopping i did so far was 4 bags at $120. an esprit sling bag, a carlo rino tote and two washable cotton cloth totes. blame tampines for that. but its no blaming game. its actually the best shopping i did so far because they were on sale!! the carlo rino brown tote was just right for me i was actually surprised when i found it because it is one bag that i actually loved at first glance. just fits me. no need for prints, not leather no frills or blings. its for work purpose, look proper and presentable. billabong tote looking a bit more casual and immature nowadays because of peer pressure. haha. i realised it has always been a carlo rino or a santa barbara for me. i guess i am loyal to a brand like that. but alhamdulillah. as long as it serves its purpose, i am practically fine.

online shopping must be banned for now. books watches dresses bags whatever. stop please.

oh hello june. the travelling bug it is for me this month. hello bandung and phuket!
