CNY is just around the corner and i notice that i haven't got any new clothes yet. this is the ONE thing i dislike about CNY - getting new clothes. for most gals, shopping seem to be their favourite but not for me. maybe i'm weird but i call myself different. i can't say that i dislike shopping, i love it but i'm not a shopaholic, i'm more like a window-shopper. i have the least clothes among all the gal friends i know. i have the least clothes among all my flatmates (6 guys and 1 gal) when i was in London. even shoes, gals tend to have at least 10 pairs of shoes, but i only have 2 pairs of high heels which i seldom wear them and 2 pairs of sneakers. what about skirts? i only have 2 dresses, a knee length skirt and a miniskirt. i prefer wearing pants especially jeans because it's so comfy and i can just jump around without worrying about...you know. a more funky and casual type of gal rather than elegant and girlish.

so why do i love shopping but dislike buying clothes? let me see...
1. maybe it's because i'm not working yet so i do not have the money to buy clothes, let it be cheap or expensive, no money means nothing..
2. i'm very very choosy with the designs and colours. i'm not trying to say that i have a high taste in fashion. i don't, i know i don't. that's why i always ended up with nothing when i go shopping and just look at the amount of clothes i have for now.
3. it's hard to find clothes that fit me. i don't think i'm too thin but it's hard to find clothes that fit me. sometimes even size "S" and "XS" couldn't fit me. what the heck?! "XS", isn't that extra small?? how can that be too big for me?!
4. adding the first, second and the third point frustrates me a lot and i got fed up. i don't think it's necessary to have so many clothes when people can never finish wearing all the clothes they have, and that sometimes people don't wear them and chuck them aside (what a waste of money).

ok i might be saying all the bad stuff now but maybe i'll be like most gals that shop till they drop in the future. maybe i'll turn to be a shopaholic once i started working and earning money. who knows.. but no matter what, i still need to shop for new clothes for CNY. it's a MUST according to parents. i'm force to do it so i have to do it.
