Can you keep a secret?


Have you happened to read any of the book about Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella? I think I'd followed her footsteps!

Since I already confessed myself earlier on the nebuliser, I think I also should tell you some of my spending secrets…Ha… do I get your attention??? I have lots of stuff to confess on my spending. (Shhh... Even My hubby dunno some of my spending)

So, Can you keep a S-E-C-R-E-T?

ok, here are the lists of what I'd already been spending from January’ 08 till current month - what I can remembered. Gosh, I know I spent a lot. But sometimes I just can’t control over it. Is like a Must buy thing! Ok let’s do it by each months.


Jan’ 08

Bought an Osim exerciser for Hubby. Hardly use because most of the time, my lil’ monster will want to follow us to shake his bum bum. If we let him do it, we worried we will trapped his toes or fingers. Sounds scary, so better not on it!

Reasons:

  1. I can use as well
  2. A a gift for X’mas – for last yr lar
  3. Our Anniversary
  4. Maybe for Valentine as well

Damages: A hole to my wallet at RM2, 300.


Feb’ 08

Didn’t spent much on this month. Maybe I did for Chinese New Year stuff but dun think i spent alot…And MIL passed away so this whole month I'm so ‘kwai’ (good).

Lost of a beloved MIL

End of February' 08

I nearly forgotten about this one!! (Wah tis one can make many, many tin of formula for Adriel or facial for me).

I bought a Tag Heuer watch for Hubby. As he wanted it very much. Ok, this will be his Father’s Day & B’day present – June & July. Bought earlier coz gets a special discount or else dun think I will ever buy.

Damages: Wah! this one very ‘jia lut’ and ‘siong’


March’ 08

Bought a stack of milk supplements for Adriel for stock up as I heaerd from supplier, milk formula will be increasing. Another reason is Election is on this month!! Kekekeke

Damages: The most expensive formula I ever invested. Over RM1, 000


April’ 08

I always wanna to have a rejuvenate session for myself. Loving myself is what I shd be doing, dun u think so? Or else who will be giving it to me?

So, I bought 10 session of SPA treatment for myself. I guess I listened too much of Mariah Carey song which keep on spinning on my head ‘Love my Body’!! Till today, I haven’t try it on. Scared they will forced me to sign up even more or buy product!. But I dun think they are as aggressive as Facial Salon!

Moreover, this package considered cheap as compared to the rest. So, I give it a try!

Damages: Cost me RM1, 380 poorer


May’ 08

I thought this month I can save some money since my debts are pay off and no more things that interest me. Ai yah, I was wrong. My facial treatment was running low. Only left One more session to go.. Cilaka!!!

So, I decided to scout around for Beauty Salon that must be near to my area. The current one, I think the price is over priced. And I think I need a change of the Beauty Saloon.

My Current Beauty Salon is mixture of product from Sothys (more higher range) ,Cellnique Pronounced as Cell Nic (slightly cheaper but still considered expensive) and some different ‘No brand’ of product I Think !! They are charging me RM188 per session…which is a bit pricey. That’s why I’m opening my door to different saloon surrounding my area.

My current beauty saloon, I should say, they have a very nice ambiance but with the price and not specialise in one product that’s the reason why I dun really wan to be loyal to them. Of, co’z every time after the facial, they will tend to have this trick. As you to sit down, explain to you about your face condition (As if I dunno my own face!) and ding ding dong dong, and the end results ‘U shd buy this and this and this’. Your skin very dry so u shd use this hydrating this and that so you won’t get any dryness…. Bla bla bla. And the list goes on and on!

I finally found a new Beauty Saloon which was just newly opened. I did some enquiry and I finally put my hands down and signed up!! So easily get tempted by the beautician sweet talk.

Anyway, I needed one. So I got to have it. This beauty saloon only uses their product. Hope my skins suits well to their facial product!! Finger crossed.

They are having promotion which I have to buy RM1, 388 voucher (yes, very nice no. Can by 4 digits). These voucher consist of :

  • 10 x voucher of RM100 each (Can contra off with facial treatment/product)
  • 6 x voucher of RM30 each – body scrub
  • 1 x facial (using Gold patches)
  • 1 x gamma facial (dun ask me wat is this, I also dunno!)

Ha…There have CATCHES – ‘Mou Kem Tai Koh Kam Nah Chui Kai Tiew’. Out of the RM1K facial voucher, U can purchase for facial package. Most of the packages are ranging from RM188 onwards. Not goanna discuss more about this. I can go on non stop.

Damages: Another RM1, 388 poorer


Mid of May’ 08

I’m also looking at enrolling Adriel to programmes that cater for his age. I have been looking around near my house. I found two that suitable for him. I tell you, If I ever wanna to make money I should have started learning Montessori, They are making money from us. Just for Adriel age, it can cost us easily RM450 for 3++mths. Gosh.. I wan to be a teacher.. Next time will ask my kids to do teaching; even school teacher is making money nowdays – by giving tuition (some more tax free)!

The one very near to our hse is Little Einstein which 5 minutes away (by car) and the other one is Tumble Tots which can take 10-15 minutes if there is a jam. Will be going for a trial run tis coming Saturday for both centres. Yes, coincident they only have classes for Adriel’s age on Saturday on different timing.

Reasons: I realized Adriel is starting to learn new things now. Since, I'm not a good Mother to sit and teach him everyday, I should let him learn from someone.

Ok ok, the end of January to May saga. Will update you my next things to shop in my list! So, will you able to spot what I am goin to spend in June!!

Die.. After typing each month of my spending, I realized I really spent a lot ler!!!U Think I should control over my spending limits!

Reminder: Can U Keep a Secret?????
