Poorer once more!

You know, I've just gotten my pay on the 15th. And I'm supposed to be in a very rich mood because 15 is just like 2 days ago. And on the 15th, I remembered telling myself, "I've got to save, save and save this month. Because I've got a Taiwan trip coming up, and a handphone and digicam on the list. My savings pool has also become quite depleted since my birthday celebration. So no more shopping and buying clothes, shoes, bags or whatever this month!"

And you see what I bought yesterday.

My expensive royalty Levi's jeans

Close up on the diamantes!!

It's a freaking $189.50!!!!!!

Levi's ladies diva jeans with diamantes crystallized with Swarovski costing a freaking $189.50!!!!! That's almost $200 for a pair of jeans!! My most expensive levi's, or rather, my most expensive pair of jeans!

Then the sales assistant came to tell me that I could become a member for another 8 bucks because my purchase is above $150. He proceeded to tell me all the member benefits and all my mind was thinking at that time was "Money money money...." Then, I noticed "Birthday month you're entitled 20% off." I brightened up and asked if I'm entitled for the 20% since October is my birthday month. I was slapped with a "No, only on subsequent purchase." And man, was I crestfallen. But still, I became a member (What's $8 compared to $190 anyway!) and became instantly $200 poorer after 1 day upon receipt of my pay.

Tell me, how am I going to survive for the rest of the days til 15th November, coz I just wanted to die. And a Taiwan trip to boot 2 weeks later. Argh!

Fortunately, kind and compassionate Mr Eeyore offered to sponsor me $80 for the jeans. So all in all, I only paid $120. If only it's only ONLY. Considering if I hadn't bought the jeans, I would have been $120 richer now. And Mr Eeyore $80 richer.

Nevertheless, I STILL LOVE MY ROYALTY LEVI'S JEANS CRYSTALLIZED WITH SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS MAN!!!!!

Then I woke up this morning (afternoon actually) to hug my royalty jeans, since I'm not going anywhere today, and thus, no chance to show off my damn expensive royalty jeans. And also, with a clearer mind, I realised, I HAVE A METRO CARD WHICH OFFERS ME 10% OFF AND I CAN PAY ON CREDIT!!!!!

Dammit! I could have bought it in Metro and saved $18.95! That's alot, considering I can eat 9 packets of chicken rice with that money and have 95 cents left to eat beancurd for dessert. And I could have paid on credit, meaning I can pay them off on my next payday and thus, will have more money to go on my Taiwan trip.

Oh well. See what impulse buying does to you. At least I'm not in debt. And,

I LOVE MY ROYALTY LEVI'S JEANS CRYSTALLIZED WITH SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS!!!!

Back to hugging my royalty jeans, then off to playing Sims 2. Woohoo~
