Shopping is a chore too much for me..
Published Friday, November 19, 2004 by the superfish | E-mail this post

Alright, shopping is like once in a lifetime for me, like now, I have to charge myself to a sudden shopping spree cos of Graduation Nite, I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT!!! It's tiring, tedious, energy-consuming, life-threatening, frustrating, stressful and most of all, I felt like DYING!!
Here goes, I was forced by my dictator-mama to shop the Grad. Nite clothes only with her presence, and not with my friends, nothing that I've said will let her change her mind in letting me go with my friends, okay, but the deal is, she will be paying for me, so in order to be practical, I don't mind getting NAGGED by her for the whole day and agreed to go with her without any conditions. She has absolute control and "rules" the family like a totalitarian state, hehe, I know that sounded kinda exagerrating, but it's pretty true. In a way it is, she is a very good and responsible ruler, I like her!
Well, went to TOPMAN in Wisma Atria with mama today, initially, I wanted to buy a jacket I saw the other day, which was $119, but then, I saw a new arrival, a much more formal coat, and I personally thought that I looked good in it, but the price was far-cry, $156!!! To my surprise, mama agreed and bought it for me! That was very very unlike of her! But she continued saying, "But your inner top must be EXCLUSIVELY CHEAP!" And she picked a red V-cut tee for me, it was priced $16 only, very exclusive indeed. It was an uber plain tee with no pictures/designs, but simplicity works on me well.
Guess who I saw in TOPMAN today, Leandra Raisiah, that's how Gurmit always announce her name for her performance, haha. Kinda saw her face-to-face, she was with this Eurasian-looking FAT friend, that FAT friend of hers is always featured on SI, her best pal i guess. And of course, with many other of her friends too, she looks the same in person, not too much of a difference. I notice ever since she was 'kicked' OUT from the competition, you won't see an abundance of people asking for her signatures anymore, the people who saw her in TOPMAN were kinda cold, just walked past her like a breeze, haha. Guess Oli's fate and many others will be the same as Lea ever since.
Okay, back to the shopping craze, this is my first time to be stuck in the fitting room with TONNES of apparel to fit on. Well, as for my bottom, I already got a pair of jeans and an executive style black pants at home, most probably, I'll wear the black pants, it suits the outlook bettter. Got myself a wristband in TOPMAN as well, it looks great to me. As I'd thought, my top will look pretty dull and empty, so I bought a cross-necklace/choker or whatever you call it, just for accesories purpose on that night. As for my footwear, I went to BATA in Anchorpoint and bought a black shoe, it's not leather, just some smart casual type of shoes, at least, after the grad. nite, I can wear that shoe out to town or anywhere I want. Leather shoes aren't worth it for a 16 year old.
In case you might be wondering why am I in Anchorpoint when I was in Orchard intially, cos' my papa wanted to change the furniture at home, living room's sofa (cos it collapsed), living room's TV plus hi-fi stand, living room's glass display cabinet, my wardrobe (cos it collapsed again), and my sister's bed (cos it collapsed too), and most probably, a new TV. Hey, PLEASE don't misunderstand, am not trying to show off here, but you can very much see and understand if you've been to my house, my sis has no bed for a year, I don't have a normal wardrobe for months, my living room has no sofa for years, and my TV is here for more than 5 years. My house certainly and desperately needs a COMPLETE makeover.
Okay, I spent about $213 today just for my grad.nite clothes, please shut up if you are gonna say that I'm rich, loaded or something. I'm NOT RICH NOR LOADED! It just happens that I seldom shops, that's why, when I do shop, it's a tremendous amount. And because my coat was uber expensive, other than that, all my stuff are very cheap, even my inner top is only $16! And I don't wear leather shoes.
But all these shopping is really dehydrating the hell out of me, It's VERY VERY TIRING! Thanks to this grad.nite, hope I'm not too scantily-dressed or over-dressed on that night. My eyes are shutting, good day everyone, Goodbye.
