After a long day at church yesterday, I had the sudden urge to spend. My hands felt itchy to reach for something and make it mine. Note: I hardly have this urge-to-spend syndrome.

I headed to Suntec city, since it was nearest to church and spent 1.5h on 3 shops, which were located almost side by side. I had no sense of how much I was spending. All I knew was I had my therapy. 1.5h on 3 shops is definitely possible if you spend most of your time in the fitting rooms.

Started off with buying a pair of slippers from NOVO, then proceeded to MANGO which was next to it and bought a chilli red light knitted top. When I was trying on my top in the fitting room, I thought I heard 2 men's voices next to me but I remembered seeing the sign "Women only" outside the fitting room. Without even the need for eavesdropping, I found out that both of them were transvestites from Thailand. I felt sudden shudders down my spine. Though they are now "women", but the thought of changing next to them over a flimsy divide, I can't help but feel as though I was stripping with 2 men next to me.

As I was about to leave Suntec to meet my mum, I walked pass Seafolly. I ventured in and was so tempted to buy a bikini top. I was glad I had to rush off because given my mood, I was pretty sure I would have spluged on it. So far, 2 items didn't cause any regret. But if there was a THIRD, regret will definitely set in because the bikini top cost plus minus $140.

Waited for my mum at the Fullerton hotel lobby. As I walked pass the ballrooms, I saw 1 photographer after another getting shots of the people living the high life. After finding a seat at the lobby, more beautiful people walked pass me filled with an aura of their own. I can't help but to fantasise living such a dream.

I decided on 1 thing. I decided to change my ambition... I want to be a socialite. I want to make looking pretty, attending functions my job! Get me a rich husband. I am ok even if he is not rich but his father is. As long as his father knows somebody's father and somebody's father!!!
