old shallow me

The GIORGIO ARMANI-SAMSUNG phone.

What a true beauty.

I hardly ever get excited with gadgets...but this is truly a

real black beauty. Oooohhhh, when is it coming to Singapore??

Tech Specs:

Triband GSM
Bluetooth with A2DP
2.6-inch QVGA touchscreen LCD
3-megapixel camera
microSD expansion card slot
87.5 x 54.5 x 10.5mm

Arriving: Sometime this year.

Meanwhile, i'll just hold on to mine till it arrives.

Ooooh.... i soooo want it.

I think i'm popping by Samsung to go pre-book it!

In case it sells out.

The last time I liked a phone so much was that pink slim Moto clamshell.

But Terence broke it.

I hate strictly functional phones.

Where's the fun in that?

It IS an accessory, after all.

So, I collected my silk Ted Baker dress yesterday.

I am sooo LUCKY.

When i was pregnant + fat, i lusted after it despite its $369 price tag.

Now that I'm back to my normal size, it's on sale at $220.

What a steal!

I went major shopping last wkend and got myself the lovely FCUK dress.

I resisted its $269 price-tag a few weeks ago when i first saw it...

then presto, last week, it was marked down to $155. Perrrr-fect!

I know, i know...patience is indeed a virtue.

And since the FCUK sale was so darn gd, i got a silk top for just $70 too.

Plus a grey lovely leather wallet for only $49 - seriously a steal!

Incredible sale!

And that's that - i blew like $600 in 2 hours just between Ted Baker, FCUK + Tangs at Vivocity.

All in the name of good ol' CNY shopping.

The other day, i was talking to someone about finances.

She's very thrifty, by the way.

Running from place to place by bus/MRT.

And she told me, what's the point in having so many material stuff?

Life's simpler without them.

She said she was like that too when she was younger.

But she wised up in her 30s.

She gave a lot of things away and pared down her lifestyle.

She felt that, at 30, she had nothing to her name.

Just a whole load of junk.

So she quit her job, started working for herself, and streamlining her life.

In the end, she says, cash matters most.

It doesn't matter what you have or how you live -- it's how much is sitting in your bank, and how smart you are about it.

Will I feel like this one day too?
That I have not much besides a beautiful wardrobe + shoe collection?

I've got a stinky feeling it may be so.

I desperately want to save more.

Ironic, when i just spent most of the time blogging abt shopping and desires.

Why am i shallow?
