From farmer to fashionista. I am not talking about real life career. I am talking about facebook game applications.
I spent quite a while tending my farm on farmville, then it gets boring. I switched to FrontierVille which offered some quite challenging missions and build my own community. But my inability to complete certain missions resulted my lack of motivation to carry-on establishing community projects. Especially when there are not enough neighbors to send necessary tools to build my Pony Express .
Then there is Mall World my little niece introduced to me. At first, it seemed like one of Y8 game prototypes, until I found myself ordering loads of ready-to-wear goods online, manage my own boutique and even go to a virtual mall.
As one who lived in a town surrounded by shops and boutiques, playing this game decreased my frequency of going out window shopping. This game for me is like a nicotine patch for shop-a-holics. It reduces my craving to go out and find a reason to spend. The only flaw is, it adds another reason to sit all day.

In that case, I guess going out to malls isn’t a bad exercise afterall.
