As most would know, I rarely shop. I shop only during CNY and when I have the spare cash to (which is like never). That explains my happiness.
Now, let's see what I bought and how much I spent.
- Esprit Tee - $49.90
- Guess Tee - $49.90
- Zara Tee - $19.90
- Mango Halter - $16.90
- Levis Hangout - $139.90
- Undies - $10.00
- Total = $286.50
My sister fell for this pair of 3/4 denims at Guess that costs $179.90. She was planning on buying it with her own money but my mum dragged us both in and made my sister try it and she bought it without blinking. The power of a mother's love.
Mummy spent $500 in 2 hours. I'm starting to feel the pinch. Sigh. I swear I have the best mother on earth. She only bought 1 top from Zara for herself that costs a mere $20 and a shirt from Timberland for her boyfriend. All in all, she has spent $700 on her daughters' CNY clothes.
If you've realised, everything's branded. My mum's pretty brand conscious herself and that was how I was brought up. So brand conscious that when I was young, the sales girl at Guess Kids Forum knew my mum and would call her when new stock came in. My paternal side is wealthy which explains the money when I was younger but now no more paternal side but we're still happy.
Yes I am a spoilt brat. Believe me, my mum spoils me rotten.
I've been the worst daughter the past 1 year. I smoke like there's no tomorrow, I club like there's no tomorrow, I almost got myself kicked out in school (She had never needed to see my teachers until last year), I attempted suicide, I treated the house like a hotel when I was previously attached, I got myself a police case, I might be retaining another semester and the list goes on.
$700 can do a lot for my family. I'm not well to do, much less rich, this family's barely surviving with only her being the sole breadwinner. I know the money's been spent already so why am I still going on about regretting. I just want the world to know what a beautiful person my mother is. I owe her a lot. I'm even more determined than ever to achieve my dream career.
I LOVE YOU MUMMY!
