Im a spendthrift?

My mom scolded me quite some time back for spending alot of money. hmmmm i was thinking "really meh??" cuz jac said i spend damn damn damn little already. so i dig out my accounts book (YES! i do keep track of ALL the transactions and things ive bought since the May of last year), and i flip back to May 2005 and decided to add up all the bloody things that ive bought online/in stores/stupid boliao things/dining/and etc. Since it was exactly a year ago, i can declare that from May 2005 - May 2006, i've spent $1794.92. so my total expenditure in ONE YEAR is $1794.92.

okay so issit alot? i dunno cuz 1800 buck seem like a huge sum leh! so i divide it by 12months and ive got $150 per month. this is my expenditure on all other things except transport and food cuz my mama pays for both of them. so it's 150bucks spent totally on leisure, clothes, accessories and etc etc. but i did put back quite a huge sum of money too! thats from the sale of the earrings i sold in yahoo auctions and they total up to $586.50 profit (*profit in this case means the selling price of these pairs of earrings minus the cost price of THESE pairs of earrings) so far since i started back then. but if i were to take ALL SALES and minus the total cost of ALL MATERIALS (including those which are still unused), the profit is approx$200. so afterall i still do bring in some cash while i spend so why is my mum so upset that my bank account is depleting?!

She must understand that GIRLS have alot of things to buy. From head to toe, everything must be well taken care of. First, i need clothes. And i cant possibly wear the same old clothes without replenishing my wardrobe with something new. Secondly, i need shoes! heels will spoil easily after walking everyday in it isnt it?! And then i need hair styling products mah! If not my hair fly around damn fugly. And i need accessories! To spice up the outfit whatttttt.. And i need to buy cosmetics and skin care products too! So you see... theres alot of things to buy so she cant really blame me for spending about 150bucks per month on clothes, shoes, cosmetics, skincare, accessories and whatsoever..

Anyway i think Jac is gonna faint cuz i can even COMPLAIN that i spend 150bucks on shopping per month. hahahahaha she thinks it's madness. but hey! i dun spend 500bucks in a year like what youve said lah! im not so crazy. muawahahahaa...

but im indeed a careful and stingy buyer/spender. i can think damn damn damn long whether i should get just ONE thing. perhaps it's in my blood. im born a niao person. everytime when i wanna buy something, first thing i will think of is after buying that particular thing, how much money will be left in my bank account. if the number doesnt seem too pleasing then i wun buy. but then! not everytime is like that. hahaha unless i really really like it then i'll buy.

so why did i type this entry? haha cuz at the moment, im thinking whether my bank account has enough money for the GSS coming in 2 days' time. KNN!
