Not A Shopaholic

We just had a great lunch. Our family friend cooked Chicken Curry and Prawn Sambal for us. And it was really Yum!! And do you know what’s the best pair for Curry? Yes, Coke!! So, I just ate a lot of curry and drank glasses of Coke for lunch.

And now after a very filling lunch, I feel guilty of not keeping up with my diet. Could getting on treadmills be enough to burn all the calories I just ate?

I bought a waist trimmer disc a few months ago. I only got to use it a few times and got bored of it. But just this morning I saw my li’l boy using it and it looks so amusing. Only then, I got reminded of this gadget and thought of using it again everyday ( hopefully).

With my weight loss ‘program’, I have to be faithful in seeming small exercises and only then I will be ‘entrusted’ with much like weight training and strength training. Maybe only then I can think of searching for the best muscle building supplement .

I told my Hubby one day that most of my favorite things start with a letter C..

Chocolates, Cakes, Coke, Curry, Chicken, Curry, Coffee, iCe Cream, Crab, Cupcakes…

And if you’ve noticed, these are all food items and to mention food that are not supposed to be part of any diet program. Arrghh.. So, what to do now? Should I continue eating all my favorites and just take a diet aid instead?

I was going through our stuff  last week. These are the things which we left behind for a year here in Thailand. I found so many useful ‘treasures’ as well as trash as I rummaged through our things. One of the things I found was a big bottle of Nivea skin toner. I used this when I was pregnant  because it’s the only cheap toner that I can find which is hypoallergenic. Tood bad, I just bought a big bottle of Clearasil toner too. So, which one should I use first now? Maybe I should use the Nivea toner first since it has already been on the shelf longer. I wonder if these toners will work well with acne scar removal treatment.

The Wacoal Sale is on again!! This time two malls ( Odean Department Store and Central Department Store) in the city are having the Wacoal yearly sale in which you can get as much as 50% discount on each item. The sale lasts till the end of the month and I hope I would be able buy an item or two before the sale ends.

My Husband and I are working for an English center. The center has currently moved to a new place and is now quite settled and ready for new intakes. Our center’s new location is quite far from the city center and therefore we need to plan and think a lot about our signages and advertising materials. We’ve already thought of coming up with some unique advertising material and hopefully, we could think of more.

Just the other day our center’s signage has already been put up. Now, the people who passes by the place can notice our center because of our well lighted signage. This week, my Hubby is going to put the Thai Flag and the Thai King’s flag near the signage too. I like this country’s sense of nationality as I see it through their buildings and establishments just filled with their country’s flag. I don’t see that much in my home country except during our country’s celebration of  Independence day. Even then, only government offices and few private establishments put up our country’s flag in their buildings.

And speaking of flags, I’ve found this site that specializes in the selling of US flags. They just manufacture good quality American flags that are durable and long lasting. They also make custom flags too.

Arghh.. I just remembered we were supposed to have a 120 Baht Cash Coupon from Carrefour.. but unfortunately, we were not able to use it and it already expired  yesterday. Too bad we wasted that 120 baht. We could have already bought a pint of Swensen’s ice cream for that.

It’s a lesson for me though to keep all these discount coupons with me in my wallet and not leave it under the care of my Hubby who always have the tendency to forget to bring the coupon with him everytimewe shop in Carrefour.

We’ve already had our grocery shopping at Tesco a few times but then we always forget to apply for a new Club Card. We actually had a club card last year but lost it. So, we needed to apply for a new one. But, we only remember to apply for a new card whenever we are already at the counter and the clerk is already using the barcode scanner on our purchased items. Tsk ..tsk.. we’ve already lost a lot of points and won’t receive the discount coupons yet.

Never mind, I’ll just have to make sure we apply for a new card before we buy our groceries.

As mentioned in my earlier post, my Hubby went to the Thai Malaysian Border for some errands. And while he was there, I asked him to buy a few things. Many of these things can actually be found in Thailand but the price is cheaper in Malaysia.

We’ve been looking for a TV stand or a TV Cabinet for our living room. We’ve actually been eyeing on  the cabinet that they had on sale in Tesco. The price was originally marked as 999 Baht but was on sale for 599 Baht. But sad to say, they don’t have any stock left every time we go there. I think it’s just way too cheap and a lot of people really purchase the item.

It’s not actually the cabinet I really wanted for our living room. But because of its price, I was ready to give up my living room design concept. But gladly, we visited Home Pro last Sunday and we saw a more sturdy and quality cabinet for only 999 Baht! Its original price was 1,500 baht. And guess what, its the color I wanted for our living room! I was so excited and told Hubby to buy it ASAP! Haaha! Home Pro is actually having a big sale now and I could just drool on the items they have on sale. Our next project will be to buy lamps for our living and dining area. We’ve seen some wall sconce lighting but we’ll have to see first our budget for next month.
