Declarations of an Awfully Obsessed Shopper.

I am an avid shopper, with an eye for beautiful things, love the feeling of bringing new things back home and admiring them in awe. I get bored of the same old things easily and my attention shifts constantly to the new things I bought. It is not that I totally ignore them, but they just get lesser attention until I forget their presence one fine day.. With such ugly traits, it is hard not to tell that I am a spendthrift..

I rationally practice self-control.. But more often than not, my heart eventually overcome my weak willpower and a 'want' becomes a 'need'.

Since the last week of May, I have embarked on a shopping trip with Mich in HongKong, followed by a working trip to US (and the factory outlets that comes along), a 9 day stop-over in Japan where I set my itchy hands on every pretty things, before my final return to Singapore, only to find out that I have to head to China for another 3-week-long work engagement. Now I'm finally back, with few piles of washed clothes all over my room, existing ones worn before I left, new grabs from the trips and those from the luggages, waiting for me to stack them back into the wardrobe. Perhaps due to my tiny wardrobe, coupled by my shopperholic traits, shoving hangers of clothes into the packed wardrobe can be a serious chore. I had just completed my long over-dued task and my bedroom finally seems a little neater. As I stared at the burging wardrobe, I couldnt help thinking to myself... If I have more space for a second wardrobe! True enough, I have been secretly planting bulky clothes in sister's wardrobe..

Be carried away.
