I’m on my lunch break. I’m attending training on Internal Compliance issue today (don’t ask me why I joined..!) and surprisingly, I was not sleepy at all. The subject matter was a bit dry though, but thanks to the big GULP of strong, black coffee I had early this morning that I was still wide awake, alive and kicking right until lunch time.
Well, the creative side of my brain did a bit of thinking somewhere along the way during the 15-minutes break of the training session and I guess that’s the main reason why I was able to endure the mental torture. I’m a ‘shopaholic’ creature – like my other blogger friend used to put it. Even just thinking about the word ‘shopping’ already stimulates the pumping of adrenalin in my body, not to mention the act of doing it… hehehe. So there I was, skipping my tea break, concentrating my full thoughts on writing a complete list of the things I want and need now, with no target dates! (Don’t jump into conclusion yet, guys! These two words indicate a very significant difference in their meanings, so some of the items listed below are merely a ‘want’ rather than a ‘need’).
Here goes my 15 most wanted things, not in any sequential order whatsoever:

These two words indicate a very significant difference in their meanings, so some of the items listed below are merely a ‘want’ rather than a ‘need’).
Here goes my 15 most wanted things, not in any sequential order whatsoever:
- O2 mini phone/PDA limited edition in black colour – can’t stop thinking about it since I saw it on the Internet, well, probably the word ‘limited edition’ makes me want to have it (I’m sure Nik will be saying the same thing… knowing me for more than 10 yrs now. Am I that predictable?);
- A nice, brand new white gold necklace with a white-gold-wrapped-around-a-nicely-cut-diamond pendant;
- A brand new watch – I’ve been wearing my ‘hantaran’ watch for almost 9 years now, and I thought, hey, since it never gives me any major problem, why not get a partner for it so that it will not feel lonely at night sitting alone, unaccompanied in my wardrobe (is that excuse good enough!?);
- A new pair of nice-black-not so high heels-pump shoes - for working, heels not more than 1.5” - since my collection is mostly ‘non-pump-shoes’ (Nik will shriek if he sees this and he will go – how many MORE shoes do you need Ma?... hehehe, men! Sometimes they don’t understand the wives);
- This definitely a need – a new pair of Levi’s jeans, the new edition (the word ‘edition’ again!);
- This is a need too! – a facial treatment at Dermalogica! They kept on declining my reservations as they are constantly FULL HOUSE every weekend, and I have been postponing ever since the last few months…. I’m not doing any justice to my face!;
- My Dermalogica facial set is running low…. Got to buy them SOONEST! This will affect issue no. 6 if not treated immediately!;
- A small, petite diamond earring. It only costs not more than RM100 (from my recent survey at Poh Kong) but somehow I can’t get myself to buy it… I normally went “OK, not that much, will buy it next time. Not a problem!”… but that ‘next time’ never happened! And I keep on thinking about it! Hmmmpphhh…..
- Marks & Spencer sandal… the one that I have now doesn’t look new anymore..;
- Marks & Spencer undergarments…. they’re running old already!;
- V-Kool tinted screen for my car – looks cool eh;
- Need to seriously plan for Umrah trip sometime next year – has been postponing since mid this year;
- Need to plan for Jakarta/Bandung/Balongan/etc/etc by end of this year – has been thinking about it for so long (well, at least since Nik was posted there.. hehe);
- Need to plan for a shopping spree in Singapore – Christmas Sales mah!;
- Last but not least, to top up my Vitamins supply! They’re running low! My Evening Primrose, my anti-wrinkle-anti-aging tablets, my Vitamin C & garlic supply, Vitamin E for my skin, Ginko for my memory (can’t hold data longer than 24 hrs! mid-life crisis!), BioAce for skin, Lecithin E for fat burning….. ahahahha….. kidding! Need to complete the list lah!
OK….. What a mouthful! I’m done, and very exhausted! I’m leaving early today, need to go around visiting my neighbors, it’s Hari Raya after all.
Have a wonderful weekend (ops, it’s only Wednesday!). *sigh*
