gucci bag
the story about a gucci bag.
the other day, through that “big” thing that i went to, i met a lot of girls carrying a gucci bag.
the thing about the bag is that it makes me think that the average girl are so well paid, everyone seemed to be able to afford one.
and so, during the whole affair.. i keep getting my own name mixed up with this girl called sherry lee. every time her name is being called, i always think it’s my name. Grrr..
and well, we both got acquainted and started talking about our jobs, and why we are both doing there. and to my utmost amazement, she’s a retail assistant that earns a mere salary of 1.3k. ok. i am not looking down on her about her salary.. but i am amazed at the length that people would give up a month or more of their salary on a branded bag.
and we have a whole street of girls carrying those. i wonder how many of those are like her. and then i wonder what the motivation behind their purchases.
i have to admit i am one such fashion victim as well. i do own branded bags, but not a gucci yet. but every time i buy such a bag, i also make sure these are from the spare cash that i have.. and i wouldn’t dream of buying one if i have to scrimp on my basic necessities.
well, the bottom line is.. i’m just appalled.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

Totally agree…. A bag is a bag! I will only buy branded if I have excess cash too! Anyways, what’s the point in investing in one part e.g. a bag when u cant afford to invest in the rest of you!?!?! e.g. clothes, jewellery, car, house!!! Looks silly!
