The buying impulse strikes back

Oh,i just love sunday.I can practically wake up late without my mom or grandma nagging me.But no matter how,i can't force myself to sleep any further after 12pm.That's when the humidity and warmness start building up in my room.As if it's not bad enough,the sun will be shining directly on my bed.Talk about being attacked on both fronts!

In case you're wondering,there are no curtains on my room's windows and i don't intend to install them neither.My grandma thinks it will do me more harm than good.She thinks it's just the perfect excuse for me to sleep more.Whereas my mom says it's an utter waste of her time.What she means is there will be extra work for her to do(washing the curtains).So the idea of installing curtains should well be confined to being urm,an idea.

As we have planned earlier,jian hua,chun kit and i went to have our breakfast at greentown.Brunch to be exact cause all of us woke up at noon.Jian hua being the driver of the day again as he has always been(Thanx buddy!Guilt haunts so i'll volunteer to drive more often in the future.Hehheh.).Chun kit just came back from genting a couple of days ago.Speaking of which,i was invited to go but it didn't turn out that way.It was a couple trip,if u know what i mean.

Naturally,i'll feel kinda left out but not after he told me there were actually some single guy friends as well when he returned.Damn,he should have let me know BEFORE the trip.I've been raring to go on a trip like this especially with friends.No amount of cursing will change the past now.After the meal,mun ho came over to have his lunch with us.He's working at an optical shop nearby.

We chatted quite a bit and suddenly the topic of going to bukit merah was brought up.All of us got excited,jian hua and chun kit started gathering prospective members for the impromptu trip.Well,rather expectedly,none was interested.They're either busy with work or study.We said our goodbyes to mun ho and off we went to parade.It was one and a half hours of pure window shopping and i already had five items in my imaginary shopping cart.Here's a peek into what's inside:

1) Adidas superstar 35th anniversary shoes --> RM329.90
2) Nike total 90 futsal shoes --> RM169
3) Nike 'bicicleta' tee --> RM69
4) Chelsea jersey-shaped pillow with lampard 8 --> RM49.90
5) Miniature figurines of chelsea players --> RM49.90

Power-packed stuffs with equally 'powerful' price tags.Buying on impulse hurts.Everytime i buy something expensive,the guilt will sink in.I feel like i'm wasting away the money aimlessly.Parents say money isn't easy to earn.Every ringgit and sen must be spent wisely.They have a point so after giving a hard thought,i should cut down on the number of items.I guess no.1,4 and 5 gotta go.But the pillow is like the only one left.I'll not be able to forgive myself if i'm told that it has been sold out next time.Hmmm,real headache.

At night,jian and i went yum char.It freaked me out knowing the sheer number of food he ordered.Boy,can he eat?!Ironically,he's not putting on weight.Respect!Must be in the genes and i could do well by having some of those.
