Has the act of shopping become such a big part of my life that it defines who I am?
Today in school, my teacher specifically named me in class. "Michelle Ho, no more shopping okay?"
Oh my gosh, I was freaked okay! Firstly, how did he know? And why name only me, of all the girls in class? Am I really the one doing the most shopping? Have I unconsciously "bimbo-fied" my status?
And speaking of shopping, while I was doing the housework today, I shun bian turned on the TV for entertainment's sake, and I was just in time to watch "
The Finer Side" for the first time. Goodness, that is one show for the filthy rich and hoity-toity. Dick Lee bought himself a $28,000 Vertu phone for his 50th birthday.
$28,000!!! Some people don't even earn that much in a year! And a
$140,000 Piguet watch!
Naturally I'm envious. So if I stop my shopping and start studying for real from now on, I may live to shop like that. But seriously, if I have $168,000 on me, I wouldn't spend it on a phone and a watch. I'd spend it on... shoes?
