Totally hooked on Online shopping!

I knew it.. Once i start something i get hooked.
That is what happened, when i first went for facial.. then manicure..

Though i have been working as an e-marketer for past 5 years, i refused to do any transaction online.. I did not like to expose my credit card or my personal info to some online shop.. Also i firmly believe you need to try it on before paying for it.

Until last month, my dear shophaholic buddy Mich 'forced' me to order something so that 'we' can share the delivery charge.. And after 2 weeks the item arrived, and as expected it was a total disaster!
One of the singlet didnt come with the vest as it was shown in the pix (and i paid 28 pounds for that stupid singlet! xtually it is not that bad..), and the tshirt a size too big.

Then as the USD is getting cheaper we decided to shop at urbanoutfitters.. which when i am in US, i dont even look at the shop.. but things are so cheap now we started to shop.. which now 3 weeks passed, i still donno where is the stuff.. stuck at vpost?

Then the items i ordered last week arrived yesterday from UK, and my my my.. Dont i just love the stuff i bought this time! Though again size a little bit big, but who cares... And it is the shiok-ness you feel that you know you are the only one wearing this in Singapore! (unless someone shopped at the same online store n happenes to have same taste or went to UK to get it.. watever)

Why i prefer online shopping now?
1) It is as Mich says, it feels like Christmas.. Waiting for the things to arrive and when you unwrap the registered pacakge (smells like overseas too!), it is like opening a christmas pressie.. :D
2) Saves so much time. When i go Orchard, i walk around not expecting what i am looking for.. try it on then think then not feeling sure if i really want it or not then leave it and go home. Next day i decide i want it so i have to go all the way back to Orchard.. When online, you sit comfortably at home look at the design, watch the catwalk, imagine a bit.. then click! transaction is done.
3)I am into Jersey material for sometime now.. In singapore, nice jersey designs tops or bottoms are so limited. its all the same stuff.. In UK, there are so many designs and come in different colors!

It's absolute COOL-ness!
