Exam is over and how shall I reward myself?
I went on an exploration trip to the Midvalley Megamall today and entered a lot of the shops. The most gracious moment is that I could spend time with my ownself, be it walking, looking, watching, eating or going to the toilet all on my own, without interventions of anyone. It of course doesn't mean that I enjoy being along all the time but it's somewhat true that I always enjoy spending time with myself. It helped in regaining of self-confidence as well as the development of independent planning and organization skills. I don't know how exactly it works out but it is true.
Every time after a major event in which I usually have put in a lot of effort, I would reward myself with carrying out new and exciting tasks. Shopping is one of it. I've never had a chance to shop on my own till I was almost in the third year of High School. It sounds sad but I wouldn't say that it is bad because to some people, I should be happy because I always get my mum to shop with me. However, along the way when I started to notice that I became more independent and would like to make choices of my own, I realized that shopping alone is not easy to me. It might sound ridiculous but to me, I remember the first time when I shopped alone, it was when I went for a vacation trip with my fellow prefects. Walking pass the shops, I was scared, feeling so uneasy and in-confident that I almost lost my mind of what I was supposed to do when I shopped. I was desperate. Because every other girls in the class, and even my juniors ended up carrying at least a few shopping bags loaded with goods. And all i got was a bottle of mineral water, which I had no idea why I needed it.
Shopping is a way of possessing your true self-confidence although this may only be restricted to buying goods when you need to have a clear mind of what you are doing, which includes, as I said earlier, from planning of what you would like to buy, choosing of the best item amongst the rest after a series of comparison work to how well you spend the amount of money you have.
If ever I have a child I'd let them learn to make decisions, not only for important events but also in choosing what they like, not to mean that they can be spoilt though. Decisions are made and responsibility are to be taken by the decision-maker. Through simple activities in daily life, we can learn a lot XD
