I am now in Singapore, enjoying (NOT!) the weather (but better than the 0 degree temp at Perth now), doing lots of shopping, eating and swimming. Now THIS is the life.
The most adventurous thing I've done in the last 5 years was going shopping at 1-4am last week... at Mustafa's. Still not finished yet. Still have lots I've not seen there. I'll wait and see when my BIL is free again.....
Derrick's still a tightarse when it comes to shopping and spending money. For example:
Me: (picked up 2 boxes of 2B pencils - 24 pencils altogether - and putting it in basket. $1.95 BEFORE 20% discount)
Derrick: Why you buy? house got so many. Don't buy don't buy.
Me: Aiya cheap ma.. sure need one, the kids do homework at home. Buy and keep la.
Derrick: House a lot la... don't buy la.... (went on for about 5 mins why I should not buy)
Me: (Fed up already) took the 2 boxes out and dumped it in front of him.OK la stop it la. 1 bloody 95 also make so much noise... (walked away).
Derrick: (Saw a packet of oblong-shaped "things") Why you buy eraser? So many at home already. Don't see and buy buy buy la. Must save. (went on again about buying erasers..)
Me: Eh hello... blind ah.. never see anyhow say.. they're staples size 10 la... eraser... never see properly anyhow scold. Get lost la.... (stomped to the counter to pay)
derrick: (saw Primary 1 assessment books) Why you buy? therapist say don't buy. You're not listening to therapist. Please la.. don't buy la....
Me: (Ignore therapy... queued up and paid)
Not happy with tightarse hubby.
My goodness! I went ape! I grew up with Hello Kitty and Little Twin Stars! Hubby didn't understand why I went crazy inside. Managed to get a insulated lunch bag for my niece. If he wasn't there with me, I would have bought the golden Hello Kitty purse. Maybe in the next few days, when I go shopping without him....
