Since this is meant to be an intellectual respite, i shall list down what i want in the new year. Warning: nothing highfalutin here, nothing abstract, just pure materialistic wants.
1. New Knickers - - i've lost a lot of weight since pregnancy and deserve nicer looking, better fitting knickers. Read: i have a smaller ass now! Last i measured, i have dropped 7 inches!!!!
2. New spectacles -- 4 years i've had them, though they have a life-time warranty, i'm getting real tired of them. Plus Val's helping me destroy them everyday - flinging, squashing, sitting on them at every opportunity.
3. New MAC -- either a desktop or a laptop. Slurp. Yummy. Drool. Cos my 4 year old Powerbook can't open up PDF attachments online - good enough excuse right??? it hinders my academic pursuits. (**roll eyes**)
4. New Shoes -- why not? everyone i know has more pairs of shoes than I. Flats are nice, more my style.
5. New Clothes -- ermm that Zara voucher expiring in April needs to be used up!
6. New eyebrows -- been a long while since i put myself through plucking torture. I don't like the experience, but i do like how it makes me look more energetic.
7. New makeup -- dare i say!!! i have thrown away all my makeup since i stopped using them 5 years ago. these days, if i am invited to a wedding or anything semi-formal, i realise that i have nil, nada, zilch to slap on my face. but regrets at those last moments before an event usually means i go sans makeup. Not that i really like all that stuff caking on me really. Hmm.. okay, change that to MINERAL make up how bout that?
8. New tan --- been a while since i soaked up the sun and my inner melanonin is screaming to unleash my freckles! Come mid-Jan that should not be an issue anymore when i bring val for swim classes.
9. New phone --- yes yes am still hankering after an iPhone but have momentarily succeeded in staving those irrational desires - which really are the engines of this capitalist world. Instead i have bought dental floss to participate in a lucky draw that promises free iPhones - how pathetic is this!??
10. New books -- and okay - more time to read them! Arggh.
So there, end of my bimbotic exercise. Back to the grind. Ta.
p/s: everyone should do one of these cos it's incredibly therapeutic. Especially when you have no time to really SHOP, this list at least satisfies the raging retail hormones within.
