This post is going to make me sound so spoilt and bratty, but I'm just gonna put it out there and be honest about how I took a lot of things for granted.
...
It's surreal to think just two years ago, I was still a student. And I still say it's the best days of my life! Student life, especially abroad, is awesome guys! Minus the constant homesick, actually, with the constant homesickness, it's an experience of a lifetime and I am truly blessed that my parents were able to support my education (I am very against people who are blessed enough to afford their own education and still take scholarships... Dishonour on your cow!) AND that University of Sheffield accepted me with my shortcomings.
If you scroll back to my student days, I mostly share about my crazy online shopping addiction. And believe me, it was crazy! I have an ASOS account order history to prove it...

Anyways, after quite a few hours of browsing, I found a bunch of things I absolutely loved. I had about like 10ish items in my basket, and then I scrolled down to the total side and got the shock of my life!!!!! 3 DIGITS IN UK POUNDS!! O.O
There is no way I can afford spending that much on work clothes, so I spent quite sometime debating with myself which I really need (because I neeeeeed some new pants guys!) and which I don't. After narrowing it down, I managed to reduced it to double digits.. Boleh lah tuh!
Now comes the painful part, paying. Haih.
I am very sure I (read: my parents) spent hundred and hundred of ££ while I was studying, I even spent some ridiculous amount (and poor Zayana had to join me) to get FashionValet to deliver to me while I was in UK (solely because I was impatient and couldn't wait til I balik Malaysia... Astaghfirullahalazim). Haih.
Now I think back I feel sad of how shallow and spoiled I was back then. My poor parents worked hard for their money and here I was ignorantly spending it away.. Sorry Mummy, Daddy :(
These days with everything being so expensive in Malaysia, my wish is that I am able to afford the kind of luxuries my parents were to give me and more, so that I can not only share it with my family but also extend it to those who need it.
Also, Dear God, please let my kids be kids yang reti berjimat sikit. Ameeeeeen!

On a side note of things, I have this one pair of pants from ASOS that I bought back in 2014 and it is my favourite pair of work pants ever!
I have been searching high and low for the pants so that I can repurchase it and have back-up of it. After almost 2 years, I finally found the white and camel version of it and I couldn't be more ecstatic about it because it was on SALE!!!!!! (You bet I got them both)
The black pair is no where to be found but I stand by my shopaholic beliefs: If it's meant for you, it'll be there when you want to purchase it and good things come to those who waits!
