Confessions of a Shopaholic

A light-hearted comedy indeed. So many scenes that I had uncontrollable bursts of laughter.
I love the part when she used so many credit cards to pay for a shawl.
I love the part when she went to the hot dog stall to queue and request for cash back.
I love the part she hit her boss with the fan as she danced with him.
I love the part she went uncontrollable shopping and snatched the boots.

Of course I also felt sad when she saw the man she loved with another woman. There're touching moments naturally. Her life full of ups and downs. And in the end a happy ending naturally. If not, it'll leave many people disappointed. Including me. Though the cynical side of me also wondered if it will only happen in movies as it's too good to be true in real life.

I guess I love the show too because it somehow talks about something close to my heart. Something I could relate to. I'm not a shopaholic. But I do like to shop, especially when you realise there's bargains.

I can vividly remember my shopping in Osaka, Japan on the last day when I bought my favourite clothes and bag. Especially my bag. When I bought the bag, I was very excited and happy. It's as if you're the happiest person. Very satisfied. I guess to the extent when I used it on the plane back, and when the air steward nicely asked me to place it on the floor, I guess I must have shot daggers at him. My first thoughts were "How could he ask me to put my precious bag onto the floor? He must be crazy and ought to be scolded!" haha.. that's how irrational I was. A woman in love indeed. But not with a man then but with a bag. As such, I guess I could somehow felt how the leading actress felt then in the movie when she walked into the dazzling store and see all the wonderful shopping items being displayed.

I also felt a bit overwhelmed when I watched the show. I pondered and wondered. I guess maybe because of the fact the man resigned and set up his own company to realise his dream, standing on his own feet. I realised that I have yet to realise my dream too. Maybe I should start working to my dream too. And not keep writing in my new year resolution every year but no progress made.

Oh and I'm supposed to learn baking too... according to my best friends when we had a small chat at Mos Burger... haha as she had a dream... at her current mature age.. Oh on 5th April 2009 =) hehe.. anyway who knows we'll become a great baker next time... though I seriously wonder about my talent in this particular field... as I seriously lack patience.. hehe.. Anyone interested to be the guinea pig on my baking???
