Shopaholic!

You often think of a shopaholic as a female who just can’t stop shopping. She is absolutely thrilled by shopping and often leaves stores with hands full of bags and a huge smile on her face. She gets such a 'high' from shopping that it's really retail therapy for her. But let me tell you something surprising…. Shopaholics can be males too. I know because I am living with one!

Joe is a real shopaholic! During our honeymoon, he wanted to spend the whole day shopping when I wanted to visit more attractions. After leaving a store, he sings a little jingle of total joy and with a silly grin on his face. Somehow everyday he's always thinking of something to buy - be it clothes, accessories like cuff links or household items like bed sheets and towels!

For me, I am the total opposite... I dun really like shopping, I only shop out of necessity. For example when my shoes are falling apart and I'm actually down to my last wearable pair, I will rush to the stores to find a suitable pair. You know how females see shopping as a social activity and love going shopping with their friends? Hmm... that's not me too... I prefer shopping by myself cos well I can get my shopping done chop-chop! Hee... for many years, I do wonder why I dun love shopping just like any typical female? But now that I have a husband who's the anti-thesis of the typical male who HATES shopping, I can take comfort that I am somewhat "normal". Hhahah!
