AAARGH! Some blogs are just dangerous to read if not mentally prepared: Will's blog has gotten us thinking about shopping, shopping, shopping and screw the credit limits.
Of course, it doesn't help when Wii have a perfectly good reason to go shopping as well: mum's birthday present.
And our sis and us are running low on ideas, whatmore whatwith Christmas just over and us banging our brains then thinking of prezzie ideas. So, the need to go shopping, or rather, walking around the shopping malls waiting for present ideas to hit us. Unfortunately this also means Wii would most likely be doing personal shopping at the same time as well (more often than not). Sigh.
Anyhoo. One and a half hour is sooo not enough time for perusing around our second home (1 Utama), and Wii only have 2 more days to shop for something for mum (it's not easy, it never is). Sis had suggested something along the lines of clothes from a particular boutique but Wii wouldn't know what particular item of clothing mum likes really. And it's a good thing that what Wii currently like in clothes are waaay out of our rational spending range and the clothes Wii need will take time to find (still, that hasn't stopped us looking).
The only gift idea that Wii've been throwing into the air since Christmas was to make a Pixart photo album for mum, but Sis wasn't too keen on the idea (saying it was too expensive). Now, it's a bit too late for that as it'll take about a week for the thing to get ready. Plus Wii'll have to initially scrounge around for a variety of photographs to scan in, look through the digital photos from the various recent trips, make the choices hoping that they'll be good ones and also arranging the layout.
Anyways, 2 more days of hectic shopping! And note-to-self: Pixart book for Mother's Day. End of story. Unless Sis has a better idea, of course.

Hi, my mum is also very difficult to shop for. The last present I git her was a spa package as she is fickle about clothes and other stuff. She has to be the one to choose...
my mom is easy. she ask for dinner in a restaurant which she has never eaten before. dad is even easier. he ask for what mom is asking for. :P
William: If you get on with yer mum to some level then at least you'd be able to get hints on what to get (sometimes). That's where our sis comes in.
'Nic: How lucky. And so when the occasional unasked-for prezzie comes in that's an extra bonus. Wah dad so good one...
