are discounts a benefit?

being a big sucker for discounts, I was all ready for my shopping trip this morning to enjoy all my birthday discounts... Well, if you know me well, I have loads of discounts cards from the shops that I regularly (hmmm... actually even those that I don't frequent). So December being my birthday month, I usually get extra discounts! So the credit cards were ready for a major workout!

to cut the story short... here's what I bought from 2 shops only:
- 2 pairs of pants
- 1 jacket top
- 1 shirt
- 2 pairs of jeans (1 for me & 1 for my mom)
- 2 pairs of shoes

doesn't sound like a lot, but the total spending is in hundreds!!!!! Oh well, everything is with 20% discount and just got my pay. Also convinced myself that these are meant for Chinese New Year. (haha... it will be hard to stop me from shopping for a month!!!) So though I had some savings from the discounts, the discounts were the cause of me going shopping and spending money! Haha!

the mood today is totally different from the past few days...
1) happy with my purchases...
2) delighted with meeting up with friends (ex & current colleagues) at the party organised by my ex-boss! Hey, I even wore a new dress I bought online! plus new shoes, new watch and new handbag!
3) ecstatic with Liverpool's 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur!

a great way to end the year!
