past few days have been fun. two very very fruitful shopping trips to town.

items bought

• a really nice viridian green kint top.
• this oh so funkay bangle.
• does my spongebob tee count?
• a very very nice sky/grass print zipped bag thing
• mystery gift for someone (i)
• mystery gift for someone (ii)
• canvas-es for painting!
• ribbon and lace from spotlight for this-and-that
• brother's birthday present.
• photo album for myself (plain black cloth bound!)
• 2005 calendar organizer.

hmm. a uncomfortably long list.

more things that i have to get

• mystery gift for someone (iii)
• mystery gift for someone (iv)
• smaller mystery x'mas tokens for close buddies (vi)
• bits and pieces to complete above-mentioned mystery gifts.
• good black pinstripe pants.
• a funkay tote bag.
• a hair cut.
• The Creative Zen Micro.

i however do take comfort in the fact that at least i'm not buying things ALL for myself. but anyway, PLEASE fund my chronic shopping spree-ing, i do not think my NETS card can take it any longer, even though considering i had deposited all current Hari Raya Funds inside said bank account. oh no, i cannot afford this lifestyle. and maybe it'snot so bad because even though i buy a lot (for me anyway), i reaaaally try not to get overly expensive stuff.

i was at funan today with gennie, and we ran into a model of the Zen Micro. of course, i have already wanted it since it first came out. but holding it in my palm (yes, only my palm), it fit so beautifully and perfectly that i think i was actually experiencing momentary lust for that beautiful thing. granted design-wise, it is not quite as gorgeous as the iPod, but then again i am getting sick of the latter's persistent advertizing and now rather annoying VERY simple capabilities. and now i am reading online reviews of the Zen Micro, and it is generally..how do you say? WONDERFUL. in fact, they rate it better than the iPod Mini! *swoons* http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=93151

I MUST HAVE IT.
