On Shopping

Like any other woman, I like shopping. I only really began shopping when I was probably about eighteen though. Before that, I used to feel incredibly awkward about ambling around shopping malls aimlessly looking for something to buy.

I seldom impulse buy. If I want something, I'll think about the practicality of the item and whether or not I'd use it often enough to justify the cost. Also, I'm a picky shopper. So it sometimes takes me a year or more to find for instance, a pair of jeans that I really really like.

I suppose learning Economics helps after all. Needs are limited but wants are infinite. Most of the things I want to buy are just that. Wants. They aren't really necessary.

I began shopping when I came to Aus haha!

I never shop in Msia. Always wear t-shirts only and I always wear the same 4 shirts to college.

But all of that changed since I came here. Stupid Aus..make me waste money :P

Hahhaha.. are you serious?! I'm the exact opposite. I do most of my shopping in KL coz it works out to be cheaper than if I were to buy the same thing in Melb. :p

I think I only started shopping more in Aust in my final year of undergrad.
