The Enjoyment of Shopping....without paying $$$

Early this year.... during the company's annual dinner ....my husband won the 3rd price in the lucky draw - a 21" tv that worth RM530. It was truly a good beginning of good luck in the year of "Rat". The voucher was valid till 31 Dec 2008. We did not redeem it till after 6 months.

Sound weird huh...?? Well, it was because of the negotiation between my husband and my mother in-law for getting a new tv. Both my husband and I like the Sharp Aquos so much..... but the queen is so loyal to SONY and not willing to change the old tv (which once a while the colour of the screen will change)!!!! So, after much discussion, my husband and I decided to change our plan....to redeem other eletrical goods except tv.

We went to the shop and started choosing the things that we would like to have other than a SHARP AQUOS tv!!!!!! At 1st i felt quite unhappy about it, but then wat to do???? It's better to get something that we love. So, we went round the shop for 2 rounds!!!! Searching and calculating the total amount of the eletrical appliances that we like.

It was a thrilling feel and extraordinary feeling when I was selecting the things that I like. That moment........... I started to understand the feeling of those extreme rich ppl (those always shown in TVB dramas) that shop without worrying the $$$$ signs!!!!

SO, after about an hour in the shop, we have selected four items :
1. 1 unit Philips hair straightener (that hav a nice pouch for easy travelling)(which i've been hoping to have one since last year)
2. 1 unit slow cooker (used it once to cook porridge)
3. 1 unit toaster (used it few times already)
4. 1 unit juicer (still nicely pack in the box.... not yet use!!)
with a top up of RM30 on top of the RM530 voucher.

This kind of feeling will always be in my mind as i guess there wont be much chances for me to shop like that without worrying of how much i need to pay when i stand in front of the counter.


p/s Jennie Tam, I understand your feeling when you won the RM1,000 free shopping at Giant!!! that was truly a great feeling!!!!
