And I will keep walking till the day I die.
Tuesday, December 13, 2005 Wa....since yesterday Maurice and I have been on a shopping spree! He's on his christmas shopping spree and i juz follow and see got anything nice to buy then i buy....I saw this puma shoes damn nice sia >< size="5">FREAKIN 109 BUCKS!!!! And the lady said the price will definitely climb up if i wait for a few months.... (Apparently I was thinking abt getting it for my CNY attire...but sigh...too bad) She said its a hot brand there'll be lots hu will buy it and in 2 mths will definitely be like 200++....ok so i better buy it now...and btw, Maurice cheapo bought wai yip's exact same pair of shoes la!! Cept the colour is black and white...
In that shop, there was this malay couple with their kid, they were choosing this pair of shoes, and apparently, this is what happened.
Malay couple(or the guy in particular): Eh, I want this pair of shoes.
Aunty: Ok its $89 (I forgot i think its this price)
Malay guy: No? the price tag says $78?
(And here he showed the inside of the shoe to the aunty.)
Aunty: No you don't cheat me. I know you swapped the price tag with the cheaper shoes...I have been observing you for a long time already. Furthermore, I've been in this line of business for so long, how can I not know the price of that pair of shoes? (wow its either me or the aunty can actually rmb how much each pair of shoes actually costs.)
Being the aunty she was, she continued nagging at them....till the malay couple left the shop. Then she came over to us and complain.
Aunty: Those people from malaysia ar, always come here to shop one u noe? They always resort to this sort of trickery one to lower the price...you think I dunno? I've been seeing this sort of things happening for many years already, even now oso hhave.
Maurice and I: Uh....ok. (with a forced smile or chuckle)
Aunty: Ya everytime they come here I always keep a look out for them one...make sure they don't do anything funny.
Maurice and I: haha ha..ha.... (Trying to stay calm and join in when we were really in a rush to quick get his shoes and continue our shopping.)
Aunty(to her young assisstant): Ya you better rmb to keep a look out for these malays when they come to buy our stuff.
Assistant: Wa they really do this sort of thing ar? Not very right leh..
Maurice and I: uh.....
Maurice: Aunty ar, I want this size. (Apparently trying to hush the aunty up)
but in the end we managed to leave the shop.
Me: Wa actually i think the malays quite smart leh..i'll nvr thihnk of such things one lo..
Maurice: Aiya the stupid aunty...
Anyway, before the shopping started, we went to sizzler for lunch...One caution: don't get too expensive a dish there...cuz the salad bar is totally free and free flow. It also includes other stuff like soup(3 diff types) noodles, ice cream(DIY)...etc. All free flow. So if you do go there, don gorge urself up with the main course....save some space for the salad bar...
Well after the shoe shop, we hopped over to Taka to find a suitable long sleeve to match his pants and totally disgusting bright red vest...its the kind u go overseas got snow one then wear...those very holey and thick kind....totally disgusting. but apparently his idea of christmas attire for 2005 is pants, shirt and vest...so wateva.. We checked out CK, FCUK, and others i forgot...but none could match....or too ex. So in the end, we walked for like 3000 km and landed up in Zara.
We found this striped long sleeve and he went to the fitting room to change....Once done, I took a glance..and the word PYJAMAS screamed into my head. Cuz is like his shirt and pants(which he has bought alr) have vertical stripes and are quite dark in colour. Well, lucky for him, I have better fashion snese, so being his fashion consultant, I chose a checkered shirt for him. White base with light orange lines... Much , MUCH, better...hmmm there's still something missing..........a tie.
Well, i got a striped tie mixed of orange, red and a brown base. Gave it to him, and he tried it on. VERY VERY MUCH nicer. Lucky for him, I could save the ugliness of his vest. But he looked too formal...so in the end i told him to unbutton e collar button and loosen his tie...hmmm ok better now. however, the tag read. "$89 and no discount and get out of my shop if ur too cheap to afford me". .........................well, we chose to walk out...anw maurice said he may have a light coloured long sleeve in his wardrobe. (ok lo...fine.)
Wow...im kinda tired typing this...nvm i'll rush thru the rest.
Ok after that we walked out and saw the Body shop. Ah! I needa get my sis a b'day prez... So we walked in there. and BAM! We were hit by the "pungence" of all the aromas in there, all at full blast. i nearly flew to the wall la!...ok a bit exaggerating... but I nearly choked to death trying to get another step into the shop...and I expected to see the shop keepers in protective masks and stuff so they don't faint and die from excessive aroma. Thinking back, i wondered how i managed to stay in the shop for 10 mins choosing a prez for my sis. After spraying like ka-zillions of perfums on this paper tester, I finally got the oceano one for my sis... Wa it was a TOTAL relieve to be able to step out there and breathe fresh air again...
Hmm..after that we went to the arcade and ate dinner and went home. Still haven't bathe yet :xP so ta!
