Money illusion

patient: me

ailment: Money illusion syndrome

causes: anticipated salary from (re)employment that comes after a long period of unemployment, continued allowance from lovely dad despite anticipated salary, transferring funds from one bank to another bank thus seeing a figure on cheque which has never been noticed before, deprivation during the first month of the great singapore sale

effects: Sudden outburst at takashimaya ladies' department yesterday. Rationality taken over by irrationality. Bought a wallet and a bag at the same spot within a span of 30min. and now regretting her choice of purchase of one of the items. >__<

doctor's advice: strictly speaking, none, unless a sudden onset of major inflation and/or ridiculous price hike conspired by ALL retailers (unlikely, since IOC is here this week, you know). Receiving the university's bursar bill of 5-dig figure asap might help. KIV for now.
