On shopping
Met a colleague on the way out of office after work today. She started complaining how "badly" I have treated her as my department slotted her name in for a 4 days tactical course. Well, basically its a course that involves quite a bit of physical exertion and time spent under the hot sun. (at least it has been raining quite a bit lately)
Well, perhaps in retaliation, she started commenting on my shirt. New shirt in fact, just bought it on Monday.
Guess the colour didn’t exactly turn out well in this photo, but its kinda more on the green side of things. Okay, here goes. She described the shirt as "Yao1 yan4", briefky translate into "flamboyant". Well, more to the negative sense though…hmm…seriously dun tink so leh. What’s wrong with this shirt? I thought the colour combination was pretty nice. In fact, I guess I probably be filling my wardrobe with shirts like this in the near future. Single colour are just too dull for the moment. Well, wearing brighter colours do make you happier…to a certain extent (there’s just so much a piece of cloth can do for you). Better than nothing, I would say!
Well anyway, went out to shop for clothes earlier on. Damned, it is so difficult to find a piece of cloth that fits nicely. Somehow, the dimensions just don’t seem right these days.
Anyway, still can’t figure out why gals enjoy shopping. It was nearly a chore for me when I was browsing through the rows and rows of T-shirts @ 37 degrees. After browsing through about 30 T-shirts in the first row, I was ready to give up. My mind just couldn’t arrive at a logarithm or a systematic way of eliminating the numerous choices. The majority number of T-shirts on display wasn’t particularly interesting or well, it didn’t exactly suit my taste but at the same time, I was afraid I might miss one which I like and this 2 thoughts just didn’t really gel too well together. I was like "Oh man, is there a more effecient way of doing this" Do I really need fate for me to come across the "clothes of my life" like how it always happen in the past. Well, anyway, fate didn’t knock on my door today and so I didn’t buy any in the end. Nothing seems to appeal to me. Sian! Getting really tired of wearing the same clothes over and over again. I think my colleagues probably can name all the clothes that I have in my wardrobe at the moment.
Well, so be it for the moment. Shopping is really a waste of time, espcially when you can’t find anything to buy in the end. Luckily I was born a guy. No offence, ladies, at least its a common sport which majority of you really enjoy. Speaking of which, I rather accompany someone on a shopping trip than do my own, cos somehow or rather, I always managed to find something that I like when I’am helping others shop. Always happen when I was shopping with my ex previously. When I accompany her on her shopping trip, it is usually me ending up buying something and sometimes she goes home empty handed. Strange indeed. So I guess shopping is the same as love ah, it comes knocking on the door when you least expects it….hahaha…
