Shopping!

Shopping though therapeutic, is very addictive and very definitely expensive. With Christmas coming, I have started my presents shopping. Christmas is a big thing! Shopping for Christmas gifts must be spread out to eliminate last minute shopping stress and helps limit the hole in the pocket from getting too big. 

I have long discovered the good of online shopping. I love to receive mail parcels and remember the joy of opening those parcels. However, I haven’t been very adventurous and had stuck to my good old bulk purchases and sprees in Singapore Motherhood forum. I am no expert in online shopping and thus have high risk when it comes to online shopping. I sometimes ended up with purchases that didn't look as good as they appeared to be on the computer, wrong sizing or simply clothes that didn't look good on me. The latter happens about 25% of the time. Nevertheless, the lure of online shopping is too great to resist - looking at all the beautiful stuff on the computer screen, buying at the clicks of my fingers, cashless payment that fools the brain into thinking that not much had been spent. Aha!

Along the years, online shopping took a new height with Groupon, Taobao and what not. I find it a hassle to work out the shipping and never venture there. Recently, I had been introduced to Qoo10 Singapore and my eyes sparkled at the range of merchandise (which is almost everything) available. I had my 1st taste of Qoo10 and was surprised at how convenient and easy to buy and received the loots. Kekeke. 

I foresee myself doing quite some online shopping in the future. The ability to shop even when I don't have the spare time to step out of the house (without the kids) to do so. I love it.  Daddy Lim, aren’t you glad that I have high level of self control? Don't worry, I would try not to spend too much $$ on online shopping. Muahahahaha.
