...spent the whole morning shopping again. Lately it's the 'gold rush' shopping; yesterday was Poh Kong for a new bracelet, today it's Habib for a new ring. Call me old-fashioned, but hell, I love jewellery. Make sure each year I have a new piece. I mean, it doesn't have to be expensive. I don't buy flashy ones; as long as I love it and it cost not more than 2K a piece, I'm hooked.
Others love handbags. And shoes. Yes, I can tell. Coach, LV, or other European names that I can't even pronounce right. It's all around me; one person flashes her Coach which cost her 1K plus, another an LV purse. Another, Balenciaga shoes. Wow, pretty neat. Me? I settled for the 'cokia' ones, BATA. I showed up to work with a pair of BATA flats, and they said "That is SO AUMI." Nice. But hey, at least before I said it's BATA, you said they are nice and cute. Take that bitches. I got meself a nice, cheap, cute, BATA flats. Hahahaha..
And let's not even start with people splurging on hi-tech gadget. iPhone? For the love of God, in 3 months, they will have an updated version, and you will be crying all the way to the ATM machine to get one! And can you even turn your iPhone as a slingshot like I did with my Sony Ericcson when someone incur my wrath over a telephone conversation? I think NOT!
SLR camera? Oh please. As if you take BETTER pictures with more expensive lens? I mean, for those aspiring to be the next Saiful Nang, take note; if your picture gives you higher ROI, by all means, go ahead and indulge yourself. But if your pictures are equivalent to my 14-year-old brother's point-and-shoot gallery, go hang yourself. Please.
Why splurge on things that would be fashionable only for a season? Unless you are getting yourself a vintage LV monogram, or if it's a collectors item, then you get my respect hunny. Or else, please don't come and show off that 'thang' in front of my face...
Good taste doesn't have to be a popular brand. Or big flashy logos that equals your big inflated ego. People sometimes looked down on me just because I wear dowdy brands. So what? Do you lose an eyeball just by looking at my nameless handbag that I got from Tangs sales in Singapore? (Well, I hope you do). Does your skin burst with rashes when you touch my off-the-rack shirt from Another Ser? Or better still; does your head burst in flames when I told you I am not interested in buying Arianni headscarf which cost me RM75 a piece? No right?
So, why bother?
