on the way home after a day of frantic shopping

Shame! Thats what I am feeling right now. Absolute shame.

Not a very common emotion in me, but today, I went shopping *shaking my head in shame* with HKD50 in my wallet when I walked past DFS Galleria in Tsim Sha Tsui with a huge SALE sign on the entrance. Alarm bells rang *don't go in* but being the addict I am, I instinctively strolled in passed the full priced items and to the 50% sale section.

The root of the shame - the purchase of a Paul Smith shirt on credit which I can't afford.

Anyway, the weather today was actually quite nice. The usual smog over Victoria harbour was missing. Pity I left my camera at home. I also noticed a hot new billboard in TST with this girl covered with dior products - her bra, her briefs, her stockings, her handbag, her hair tie thingy. Quite a hot billboard. Will take a photo next time I am down there.

On a more serious note - I think I've resigned myself to the fact that for the next couple of months I will live on welfare. You'd probably think this might not be a big deal since I've lived on welfare for as long as I could remember - which was in the middle of high school. But being on welfare throws my plans into serious doubt - my plans, or rather, my "goals" will have to go on a temporary hitatus. Why welfare - because the job market is so crappy. I don't understand why. Someone please enlighten me or better yet, offer me a job so I won't have to feel shame everytime I go into Centrelink to complain that the fortnightly payments cannot possibly allow me to live the lifestyle which I have chosen.

tyarrhea not feeling well
