Materialistic
Someone asked what i wanted for my birthday yesterday. He wanted to get me a gift, but i really have no clue what i really need.
There are only wants. And wants being wants, aren’t they the expensive, sought after products that either you don’t bear to part with the money to buy or that it’s totally not within your means to get it?
Well, i tried to get that message across – the fact that i don’t need anything and my wants are too expensive. And he insisted that i name a few things of my list.
And i just rattled them off, just to humour him, not at all expecting that he would actually buy them.
And his conclusion statement? i didn’t know you turned materialistic.
Seriously, i’m amused at the statement. I don’t know what he really meant by materialistic.. But don’t people progress to better quality of life if you could afford it?
The thing is.. If i wanted something and could jolly well afford it.. I would just go get it.. Just like how i’m contemplating to get a dslr before my taiwan trip in 9 days. Hee.
Ok. Finally at work. Am panting from lugging plastic bags of breakfast for an inter-department meeting. They are so heavy that i think i look really pathetic in my high heels and office gear lugging those plastic bags.

Cherie
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.
