First thing the beautician exclaimed when she saw me, "Wah! You work very long hours or use computer a lot issit?". I replied, "err...no leh. Why, my dark circles very dark issit?". Her response, "Hei de bu de liao!". Meaning --> very jialat dark eye circles. I sheepishly admitted I had been chasing K-dramas awhile.
Now, come to think of it, the startling revelation of the day was, when was the last time I slept at 11pm?? Not for months. I probably haven't slept earlier than 1am since my K-addiction started. And its starting to show. According to my beautician anyway. Years ago I would not understand why people are so addicted to K-drama. I found them overly dramatized (not that I even watched a single series, merely an impression led me thus). But now, now I understand the magnificent power of K-drama. Frankly, not all male leads are good looking, I still find Koreans look a little wierd, and probably a small fraction of actresses can even be called pretty despite their overly highly plastic-ized society. It's the K-fashion that keeps me watching. K-fashion is really something else and it has spawned a new addiction ....SHOPPING.
I can't help it. I cringe and whinge at how much I spend shopping. But having discovered the price of cheap Far East Plaza fashion lately, my weak-willed self could not resist the lure of cheap trendy clothing. This season's layered, booted look is everywhere. I want it. I need it. I must have it. More clothes. More shoes. More bags. Buy buy buy buy buy. Shop assistants hurry to serve me gladly when they see how many bags I am carrying. The word BIG SPENDER must be imprinted on my forehead, no matter I am in shorts and t-shirt and unglam sandals. They clearly recognize "lui". Like chinese say, "ren qian bu ren ren" (recognize $$ don't recognize face).
How much did I spend today? Eooow. Ooooo. OUCH.
