Season to Be JOllY

Tis a season to be jolly... starters, shop till we go dead-broke. The sales for this season is really so tempting. I can't help but to pamper myself with new lingerie, new tees, new jackets, new crocs, new shoes, new swimwear + the loads of presents under the tree for my family.

Why am I making a list of items which I purchased? Given my damn bad memory, I'm bound to forget what I spent on and I'll hit the panic attack button when I see my bank balances.

Actually, I feel damn guilty coz I'm supposed to be saving up for a rainy day.

I'm a bit loop-sided with my spending. I found a cost-efficient provision shop near my neighbourhood. Last weekend, I congratulated our family for saving over $3 per tin of milk, $0.30 for tissues... etc and here I am, spending money on other stuff.

Grrrghh...

For the past 2 weeks, I have been making weekly visits to the Chinese physician for acupunctures and bottling down dutifully 2 big bottles of Chinese medication since. The Result? Great! The constant pains & water retention seem to be under control and bearable. I'm beginning to regain my sanity and I'm not as depressed as I was in the earlier stage. I'm going for my 3rd treatment tomorrow.

Don't tell my boss, the Chinese physician & Santa Claus about this - I was naughty this Friday. I hit a bistro with Ms Diva R at lunchtime. Both of us had 3 glasses of sparkling wines each and we were giggling non-stop for feeling "high" during office hrs. I had problems typing my emails and answering phone calls. Alas, the highness is short-lived. The moment a stack of invoices landed on my desk, I went right back to work attacking the paper work.

Oh-la-la. C'est la vie!
