We are trying to live a live free of burden. I remembered I once read a book and since I have a memory of an 90 year old, I can’t remember the title. But anyhow, it was how in the end, the woman died a free woman. Beholden to no-one and nothing. I think I would want to leave this earth that way. And of course, in my sleep cos I am scared of pain…LOL..

But at this moment, the credit card machines are simply calling out to me at the mall. Every single time, whenever I am at my favourite shop, its very tempting to just swipe, swipe and swipe. After all, even when your wallet’s empty, you will have your plastic. It’s no longer the back-up, it’s the front runner.

However, these are fleeting moments. Especially when you are financially un-independent like me, it’s not that easy as setting up credit card terminals. I mean, from a merchant’s point of view, they are happy but the happy look eludes my face. Especially the significant other’s.

Furthermore, credit card processing gained plenty of speed these days. Some even give you a pre-approved card without even checking your eligibility. OK, maybe they do, at least check if you are alive or not. But still, the rate in which these credit card companies are handing out cards are as if they were flyers on the street.

But not me. I shall not succumb to these hard core tricks that they come up with. I have turned over a new leaf. I am a new person, I have reformed. I have confessed my sins and repent. God forbid, I am a new woman.

Maybe, after the Ikea sale…
