Confessions of a mini shopaholic

The Great Singapore Sale has started! And I've bought 6 things in the past 2 days. Oh dear. Sale will be on for almost 2 months...! i will need to avoid the shops from next week onwards... else will really go broke. Sales are evil cos they cheat ppl into thinking that the merchandise is worth buying when in the absence of one, you might not have bought the item(s). I really tried to be more discerning when shopping and conscientiously considered the above when making all my purchases. Sadly that still didn't eliminate that many candidates from my list haha. To absolve myself from the sin of extravagance, I consoled myself that these were all pretty value-for-money purchases, and that I'm just buying everything at one go now... and that if i didn't buy these things at the START of the sale, they would all be gone (or i'll be left with display pieces) if somewhere later this or next month I decide that I do want to get them... :P Aiyah, in any case, my life is so unhappening... need to pamper myself from time to time.....

For your frivolous info, here is an incomplete and biased list of ongoing sales I can recall off the top of my head (as at now and might not be 100% accurate :P) ...

1) m)phosis: 50-70% sale.
2) ZARA: No sale. Boo.
3) Mango: 10% off
4) BHG (formally SEIYU, goodness knows why they changed to such an awful name): think 20% off, but >20% on selected items
5) Esprit: 10% off only if you have Citibank Credit Card
6) G2000: Up to 50% Sale. Think additional 20% off if you have DBS credit card
7) Little Match Girl: 20% sale storewide
8) Pazzion: 30-50% off older collection
9) URS: 10% off (+10% if you have UOB Card)

Hehe, shall look out again when I go walk walk in Orchard after Japanese class :)
