retail therapy is bad. very .

I swear that a watch is definitely not on my wish list but the lure was too strong .

There was an instant attraction.

A fatal one.

It took me less than 5 minutes of contemplation before i handed my ATM card to the gleeful cashier.





Now , $80++ might not be alot ( actually it IS quite alot to a poor struggling student like me ) but for something that i know won't be seeing the light of day for more than a few times , its an unecessary evil.

Besides , i don't have alot of blue/white outfits.

I'm not someone who loves her accessories either.

Sigh.

I feel the need to share with you an incident i encountered today.

Was on my way to the bus stop when i saw this really sweet cocker spaniel running behind its owner and i couldn't resist stopping to give it a pat.

The owner was a fit elderly man and he stopped to make small talk with me seeing that i was very interested in his dog.

"You know , Jacky's a blind dog."

"Really ?!"

I looked at his eyes. They were silver in colour and suddenly i felt that Jacky was a very old dog.

"Yup .. He's old as i am in dog years ! No , even older !"

He chuckled and rubbed Jacky's back .

"He's blind , but he's a good dog. He knows the sound of me swatting rolled newspaper whenever we go for our walks."

He stood up and did a demostration.

As he jogged away , he slapped a roll of newspapers against his thigh and surely enough , Jacky followed him eagerly and they were off.

The way he chased after his owner , he did not look like a blind dog at all.

I couldn't help but smile to myself.

Surely , its during times like these that make you want to count your blessings and appreciate life.
