When you're too free, there's nothing better to do than to spend $$$

Nowadays, I've became quite addicted to going on Internet shopping sprees....all thanks to my sis lor. For the uninitiated, this activity is organised by a member of some online forum, and for each spree, they have a very limited number of slots available which get snapped up very very quickly. There are all types of sprees available, such as Birkenstock sprees (you can get the real thing at 20% cheaper), or the more common Korean/Taiwan fashion which I'm currently quite crazy over. The clothes featured are really quite 前卫 and kawaii...and most importantly...SO DAMN CHEAP!!! My sister got me a very decent-quality expensive looking pink jacket for only $38, and that's including shipment charges. Their tops usually cost around $21-$25, and you would probably not be able to find the same styles in our local stores. My sis has bought dunno how many stuffs from these sprees liao...I'm still considered an amateur. The one drawback is that you don't get to feel and touch and try on the outfit before putting down your order. And that's not the worst. You must make sure that you know your own measurements very well, cos its not a joke if you received your package (after all the waiting), only to find out the size you ordered is WRONG!!! I don't think they entertain refunds/exchanges one. Plus, the shipment process is painstakingly loooooong!!! I'm not sure what the reason behind that is, but you must really be prepared to wait quite a well for your purchases to reach you.

But still, for the variety I get...its worth it lah. Quite fun too...especially when you get sick of seeing the same stuffs in all our shopping centres and shops. =)

Today's aerobics sucks. Tried out Bodblitz for the first time and its one hell of a challenge. They use this weird looking stick/rod, which has elastic straps where you can hook your shoes to the ends of each strap. Its mainly for toning and fat burning, but really so tough leh! I'm seriously beginning to wonder if my stamina is so bad leh...perhaps it could also be due to the fact that I had a late lunch and at some point of time, I really felt like puking! Must remember NOT to eat so much before a lesson. To think that I could still commit this mistake, after taking aerobics for more than 6 years. Sianz. But the instructor was quite nice lah...kept encouraging me and even mentioned at the end of the class, that he hoped to see the newcomers (a.k.a. me) return again next week. Will consider lah. But quite scared actually. Haha.

Okie, I'm off to another spree liao...see if there's anything good. =)
