I blew 200 bucks today.

Something came over me yesterday when I was out with Jinping at Jurong Point after booking out. Considering that payday was on the 10th, and I hadn't even done much to January's pay, my fingers started itching. Ohhh man I felt like spoiling myself so bad. I wanted to go into any shop and just buy whatever I liked. Such was the COMPULSION! MAGNETISM!!! But I controlled myself. Only spent on Lta Peter's farewell gift, but then it'll be shared among the platoon.. sooo. Then after that, I found $30 in my bag! Don't you just LOVE finding money in unexpected places? It did nothing but intensify my itch to buy something.

So I bought myself a pair of Levis after giving in to the temptation. On top of that, tried on this Levis jacket which was going for $50 only! It was such a nice snug fit. No alterations needed too! And surprisingly, my dad urged me to buy it. "Look! It fits you perfectly! The sleeves!! The length! The cut!!" Needless to say, I caved in. Then went to Peninsula and bought some Liverpool stuff to hang in my bunk. Wanted to buy a jersey but my dad promised he'd get his friend in UK to check out the price there before deciding.

Having money really rocks, but I'm not the type who would spend often. I'm pretty guarded and I'm a Silas Marner who hoards and hoards at heart, but once in a while, to relieve tension, some little impulse shopping is extremely cathartic.
