Shopping is good for you - it's official!

Great news from one of my fav sites catwalkqueen :

It's a question that has troubled the shopper since the dawn of shops - am I buying this fabulous new pair of shoes because I need them, or because I've had a lousy day and they'll cheer me up?

Well, according to a new survey into UK's shopping habits by the Retail Trust (the charity for people in the retail industry) a staggering 40% of 18-24 year olds spank their plastic for the sole purpose of alleviating stress. Other age groups aren't far behind with 25 % of people making unnecessary purchases to feel better, and surprisingly it's the worrying Welsh folk who are more likely to turn to the comforting arms of fashion than Londoners. Just don't get stressed over what to buy or you'll be there forever!

I should stay away from shopping for awhile n try other stuff...taiwan was extremely fun cuz i stayed away from shopping... should do more test drives during the weekends, look for less ventured areas in singapore or bring back my uk habit... staying home to drink and paint/ play the piano / read my stuff or watch dvds...
