Wise Vs Wild Spending



Many people these days cannot live without internet... And because of that, many eateries & cafes offer free wifi as one of the ways to attract customers. There is even portable internet so people could go online anytime, anywhere. And sadly to say, I myself is turning into one of those people! haha...But am considered a 'light addict" because I do not subscribe to portable internet and don't mind being internet-less for a while ... yes, i still can live without internet hehe... BTW, do you know that some buses in HK provide free wifi too? Cool right!

Internet has made things very easy for us I must say.. And it also makes communicating with loved ones living abroad very convenient! So convenient that I feel as if we are never apart! Sometimes, I still miss the old fashion communication though.... love the feeling of receiving hard copy of handwritten letters!

I remember, i used to Q up for more than 1 hour just to pay my telephone, electricity etc bills. it was such a waste of my beautiful Saturday morning! Then when the companies no longer open on Saturdays, I had to sacrifice my precious lunch hour to rush to settle the bills... Sometimes I had to skip lunch because of the slow service >//< Then one day, i discovered that i could see my bills and pay my bills online for FREE!! What's better, I could pay whenever and wherever i like, like at 3 in the morning in Taipei! hiak hiak hiak.... What's more, I don't need to keep hard copies of receipts because the system keeps track of my payment history. So happy that I am saving trees too :P So Cool!

Lately, I started to get addicted to online shopping... Gosh, I never realise that I would become one of those mouse clicker shoppers just like Jane!@_@ I must say, it's just too convenient to resist! hehehe.. Guess what, I've bought coupons for Latte, digital weighing scales, foot spa device, 1 month use of gym.... I do practise my will power when it comes to online shopping.... u see, there are tonnes of things i wanted to get, like the candy floss machine, the 3-in-1 sandwich & waffle maker + BBQ grill, ice cream maker, yogurt maker etc but i didn't buy any of those... Simply because I'm a wise shopper hehehehehe.. OKie, I lied. I'm Jennifer, I'm an online shopaholic.... because i just spent on clothes with Jane on Taobao! T___T

Last weekend, J & I redeemed our food coupon at the cafe. The ice-cream in toast with mulberry sauce was yummy! Half way thru the ice cream, I realised that there was a piece of lettuce in the dessert... What is it for? probably as a decoration i guess.... I ate it anyway, it tasted really yummy, with ice cream!! It managed to make me feel healthy and less guilty for gulping down a fattening dessert! Yes, I can have another dessert! YUuummmm...

drool~~


I redeemed my latte too at a cafe at Waterfront on Sunday. There were a lot of tourists at the cafe and i kinda felt as if i was also on a relaxing holiday somewhere! *dreaming* It's good coz I could be "on holiday" without having to actually spend big bucks on trips! Yayeee.. that's one good reason to spend more online! hahahaha...


I want another cup!



Am waiting for my other online purchases to be sent to me... wooo.. i love opening presents! hehe.. However, I wouldn't be so grateful when i see my big fat credit card bill at the end of this month.... @_@ Nah, let's worry about that later.. In the meantime...

let me just enjoy life and big cheers to internet!! y(^V^)y

XOXO
