Bad Habit ... Impulse Buying Again!

Today I am still on strike and hence didn't cook anything for dinner tonight and not going to cook till Saturday cos ( sigh, sigh, sigh ) I am travelling again tomorrow to Penang for business meeting. This round cannot snake around cos my boss given me a long list to check on the sales reps. Aiyar.... got to become INSPECTOR tomorrow.

Since I am in bad mood for these few days, my bad habit came back again ----> impulse buying and buy, buy, buy for no reason. Afternoon snake out and look for VV in IKEA since IKEA is having sales. Reach home regretted why I buy those thing for what!



Bought 3 pots of green plants. The itchy hand, see green plants must buy since I love it so much. OK, get it without guilty. Then bought 2 sets of glasses and Dearie Suki saw it and said my cupboard is already full with all the ceramic wares, dinner sets, glasses, bowls. Where to keep all these? He knows I am still in bad mood and he didn't nag me a single word and I don't think so he dare to. Then a set of 3's round container at only RM3.90. Cheap can buy. The big glass jar like the ' kiam leng ang' I like the most. Planning to learn making Chinese Rice Wine from my 6th Kor, so must get one. Last piece is a metal rack for the kitchen and I think I might use that to display my McCormick Herbs and Spices in the kitchen. So total damage came to RM92.60 plus 2 Vanilla Ice-Cream and 1 Curry Puff with VV for tea time.



Started searching through the storeroom and found 2 small parcels from Japan and only I rememebered I purchased on-line, a Bento sets and some accessories from Abigail last 2 weeks. Thanks Abigail for the speed delivery and I received it within a week after purchased.

The 2 monsters at home got excited and help me to opened up the parcels. Wow... I just love all these cute stuffs and going to collect it if I come across any in Isetan or Jusco. What izzit inside the box?

A set of 2 tier cute Bento container + a bag + a pair of chopsticks + 3 minis cute soya sauce container and the other one have the egg moulds where I have been looking for quite some time. But she gave me the STAR and LOVE shape and I still prefer the CAR and FISH shape. Nvm, will search through E-Bay when I am free. Total damage again is USD 58.00 and if Dearie Suki know about this he is going to KILL me.

Anyway already purchased and can't do anything about it. I can't wait to make cute Bento for my kids when I am free on Saturday.

Lovely collection! I only know to say it is beautiful collection but not good at choosing one. That is why I never buy.

Hahaha, you sound like my sister-in-law. When she is provoked by her husband (my brother), she goes and shop and then come home with expensive handbags. When all lovey dovey already, wah, the stories come out, "I bought this to annoy you lah, nice or not, it was MR$$$....."

Your kids must think Christmas came early with all the Bento set, etc. :) Bento must be really an in-thing in Malaysia. I've not heard of it until I read blogs. Yes, yes, I 'suah pah kow'. :))

Snoopy,
Good also if you are not good in choosing can save $$$ and not like money know how to spend $$$ only.

Judy,
I don't think so Bento is an in thing in Malaysia cos so far haven't come across any in KL. Wei I also 'Suah Pah Kow' until I read some of the blogger friend's blog leh. At least something to look forward to do for the kids during weekend.
