Remember the days when you are being rewarded with Barbie dolls when you did well in an examination or even or when you turn a year older? The happiness and thrill you feel as you and mummy shopped at departmental stores in the kids department, just grabbing the set that caught your eye.
The seven year old me used to have a vast collection of the plastic dolls. That was before mummy decided to throw all of them because she thought somehow or rather, they were creepy. What a waste right.
Anyways, rambling about the past is not the whole purpose. The purpose is ....
Gossip Girl has it that pay day is just days away. The same feeling (excitement and happiness) I'm feeling right now is similar to what I felt back then about receiving Barbies. The only significant difference is that Barbies no longer appeal to me as they did during the time when dinosaurs roamed the world. Doing the math, I wonder how many Barbies can I get with the pay I'm receiving. Perhaps not only Barbies, maybe I could even get Ken and the baby version of the dolls.
The question now is : Save or Splurge?
The answer: For me to know and it doesn't matter to you anyway.
Getting a paycheck, thats when I rule the world.
Oh, the feeling of ruling the world. I like. :)

Once again, I'm so proud that I managed to complete the three LBD books I borrowed weeks ago. Having said that, I at least deserve a pat on my shoulder for making the effort to read.
Smart Vs Pretty
From the author of I TAKE THIS MAN comes another quirky, funny romance about sisters, family, love-lives, all set against a great Manhattan coffee-drinking background.Francesca and Amanda are in trouble.
When they took over their parents' coffee bar in Brooklyn Heights, they thought they'd have a business for life. Now, they've managed to run it into the ground, and emergency action is required.
Clever, thoughtful Francesca thinks that brainpower is the key to starting over, whereas Amanda firmly believes that a sweet smile and great hair get one a lot further in life. Who is right?
Memoirs are Made of This
How to get ahead in journalism:
1. Take a job as a PA to a glamorous writer, like Susanna Hyde, author of the wildly popular sex column Nothing to Hyde
2. Spend your days running errands, and delivering ‘you’ve been dumped’ messages to ex-lovers who are yesterday’s news. Realise life in Manhattan is not as glamorous as you expected
3. But when the boss asks you to cover her column, do not, repeat not, prove to be better at writing about sex than she is…
4. And when one day you accidentally hit it off a little too well with Susanna’s latest ex-toy-boy, sexy writer Josh O’Connell, keep this information very secret from her…
Lost for Words
Sweet natured Daisy, assistant at a publishing house, has two wishes. One, to discover the ‘next big thing’ – a hidden literary gem in the slush pile – and two, for her philandering boyfriend Miles finally to commit.
Life starts looking up when Elliot Thornton comes into her work and Daisy quickly forms a close friendship with him. But she’d never want to leave Miles, would she? Then, one day at work, she starts reading the intriguing first pages of a novel and is spellbound. But somehow there’s something very familiar about the heroine and her story…
It’s fantastic to be in love – it just helps when you know who with.

Next week will be more eventful than this week.
