to abstain and to shop

i am going to take my own sweet time to reveal all the shopping loot hahaha....
the longer i can prolong it, the longer i can store the excitement. kekekeke....
after all, it is already the beginning of the holy month for muslims around the world, and what better practice there is than to practise patience and abstinence.

it is another excuse i am thinking of to do some cleansing of the soul. in fact, i am wondering whether i should try fasting once or twice just to see how it feels to go without food for the whole day. i might get a few more ppl to join me to make it merrier. i don't think i can do it alone. going without food should not be a big obstacle, it is the drinking part that will be unbearable since i have to do so much talking. i am having slight sore throat at the moment too, so if i am to do a fast, it will only be solid food fast. liquid must still go in. hmmmmhh......i guess i can still still cheat hor if i only do solid fast. i mean i can take yoghurt drink, fruit juices, milk, etc to make myself full. hahaha....

and talking about the fasting month, which is also known as the month of abstinence, it puzzles me when i see people lining up buying packs of food at the food bazaar in the afternoon. shouldn't they be practising moderation instead? what i see is gluttony instead. it is not an excuse to feast right? hotels and restaurants are cashing in this month too with so many buffet spreads being advertised. ok i am not trying to preach here. i gues they are big enough to know what they are doing, so indulge if you want but in the end, it is those who fast sincerely with the purest intentions will reap the rewards.

so when will i do mine?

before i make up my mind, let me reveal the first batch of stuff i got from germany. it was more like co-operation from 3 countries to get the things. my cousin from aussie had to squeeze her time to go online and fight with all the others who were trying to get into the busy website wherelse my aunt in germany had to wait for the postman to come with the goods, while i was in malaysia supervising the purchase. so i guess i had the easiest job.

these are the 3 items i got from h&m and marni collaboration- a tote bag, a swimsuit and a tee. the tote is really roomy and large, and i still dunno how i am going to use it or when. the swimsuit is purely vintage in its design and yes, it fits me although it is eenie weenie loose around the collar. will do some adjustment there. the material is not elastic though so i am not sure whether it will restrict movement in the water. as for the tee, i got mine in S but it is still loose. so i am going to wear it as a loose tee lah. so no more shopping for tee this year....well, unless h&m and maison martin margiela have another tee that interests me in their coming collaboration in november. hheehehhe.

don't think i am making any more purchases this year. no bag, no more accessories. i have done enough. i am saving for my holidays down under now. with the high exchange rate, i do need to save lots. i still haven't bought my flight tickets yet though. so i can't say it is 100% confirmed. will try to get it done as soon as the cash flow is encouraging again.

ready for second posting of some jewellery tomorrow???
