Just the other day I was chatting simultaneously with B and P, B was discussing where to get cheaper Coach bags and P was telling me about her 4-pairs-of-shoes-purchase last Saturday. P lamented that even with her family debts and the fact that she's supporting the family fully at the age of 23 she tries to 'reward' herself once in a while with a good meal or a shopping spree. You can't help but think that we are a bunch of Material Girls who put much value on what we own, or wanting to own SOMETHING. But is that really a bad thing? Do we all not crave to possess something we like, a car, a handbag, a luxury trip, a WHATEVER? Does it not motivate us at the end of the day to achieve more so that we can BUY MORE? In that instance then are we not just being realistic that we do live in a Material World........

We all DO live in a materialistic world. Almost all the time we'd want to reward ourselves with something. I guess we deserve it because humans need motivation to work better at the end of day.

Anyway, Happy New Year to you! May you have a blessed 2008 ahead!
Happy New Year!!! :)
