So I have just finished my second tub of Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk in less than 2 weeks. Can't help it as I needed that dose of creamy chocolaty Chocolate Ice Cream with White & Dark Fudge Chunks, Pecans, Walnuts & Fudge Covered Almonds. I suppose that is still normal for those who know me well. You see, sometimes I like to indulge myself, sometimes too over-the-top I might add, but it is STILL pretty normal for me. Other interesting craving 'seasons' I had before was my daily bar of Cadbury's Almond chocolate, and after that Cadbury's fruit & nut's biscuits. So the past 2 weeks was the ice-cream.
What is NOT normal I recently realised was this - its now already the 2nd month of 2008 & I HAVE NOT been too Orchard Road at all! Not once! No drive by, no window shopping, no drop by & grab & go buy, none at all. Could this be my not-so-conscious new year resolution for me ? (gasp!) and since the new year, I also have NOT seen my shoes & bags collection grow by any amount.(waaaaah...) I must say, I am pretty proud of myself :) Athough the urge is always there once in a while, I have managed to resist all attempts & urges to buy or purchase anything at all. As a result of that my driving skills have somewhat improved by the day (coz now I drive to & fro to work, therefore no room or time spared at all for the little drop-by here & there) & my health & general well being is up by a notch too (instead of shopping malls, now I head to the gym or the park or the pool). So I'm liking this new 'thing' going on with my life. I feel some what liberated & I get to save more than I ever did too. Okay now for some online retail therapy...
Its the 2nd Feb today & birthday wishes abound to my pillar of strength, my dearest husband, and to my grandpa who turned ripe age of 93 today :)
