well of course it does, if not why would the shops and boutiques all over the island be making all the moolah? lolz, fortunately or unfortunately, i am guilty of it. using shopping to de-stress that is. =P well yar, not jus retail therapy, i think reading helps to alleviate stress too. interestingly, i havent picked up a single manga since promos ended (actually i haven't read manga way before promos started), neither have i watched anime or played psp/ps2 games. no~ i have once again regained my status as a bookworm. haha. i managed to fly through 3 books in a day @@ a feat that i havent done since my primary school days lolz. one on Chinese history, one Redwall and one Agatha Christie book. lolz~
anw yupps, back to retail therapy. now i post yet another tribute to my dear laogong~ haha. she, the almighty nice one, stayed to shop wt me~ sho nice right~~~ mind you, even my mum gave up shopping with me coz i'm so damn picky lolz. anw yar, we walked from erm...Ngee Ann City to Far East? lolz~ at first i was looking for a bag. after grueling hours of choosing, i bought a pair of shoes. and a bag yesh lolz. hahaha imagine having to stick wt my whining throughout the entire time *nods* shee me laogong ish e best~ *throws flower petals all over the place* hahah~ (too bad laogong, u blame me for being gross and soppy =P) sho yupps~~~ a tribute to my laogong who pei-ed me for the whole afternoon (though she did get her revenge by nearly killing me a few times, but that's beside the point =P) XDDDDD
and anw, retail therapy doese work. just careful that it doesnt start another round of depression when you look at your now-empty wallet or bank account after you're done with it. XD
