the great excursion only got me...
3 pairs of underwear..
that's all i got from a whole day's excursion shopping. crap? yes indeed. and what did i just realise? oh.. yeah.. right.. this MIGHT very well be the last day of freedom before my results come out.. oh.. maybe in a few hours time. depending on how efficient ppl are in the 'new zealand qualification authority(nzqa)'.. well.. i think that's their full name.. anyhoo.. so what happens if i screw up big time? oooo boy.. wonder whether they'll be such thing as shopping in peace. if i screw up. i'd probably be giving myself the guilt trip. mood totally ruined. bah bah bah bah bah!!! even if mum and dad decide that they'll still cover my shopping expenses. i might still feel a li'l, you know.. crap using their money.. after screwing up and stuff. argh!
anyhoo.. was meant to go to church.. but wonders o' wonders.. the traffic was "SSOOOOOOOOO" good.. that we decided to turn and head towards KLCC.. hahha..yeah.. and shopping for slightly more than 6 hours didn't see me buying anything. well, my sister doreen sure had a field day. have i exhausted all my shopping resources that i'm left with no more choice?! i am now left with the task of looking for a flat pair of slippers, a handbag.. or mebe two.., and last but not least.. pants&jeans....
let me tell you a li'l story about why i HATE shopping for the last items. well, first of all.. i'm not of a size that's well, easy to look for. ok.. not that there's no such thing as my size lar.. it's the way my body is. i don't exactly have what you call the 'asian body frame'.. i'm big boned. way.. big boned. doesn't help that i'm a li'l fleshier too.. hah.. well well well.. so around i go.. tromping round the shopping malls. entering any shops that sell decent looking(that concerns size too..) jeans/pants. check out the prices.. and try them on.. lo and behold.. they hardly fit.. why oh why?! oh.. it doesn't help that i'm an in-between sized person either.. like.. ok.. this size's too tight.. let's try the NEXT one size up.. ok.. waddya know.. it's hanging off my butt now.. so.. do you sell any half sizes? oh.. better still.. some shops oni have like.. even sizes after a certain size.. (huh?!).. or better still.. the biggest size is ...... and there's nothing after that. doh.. you know.. considering that levi's is like a shop which one usually associates with denim.. specially jeans.. you'd be pretty surprised that i can find ABSOLUTELY nothing that fits! yeah.. and that's when i'm at wits end and i'm turning a TOTAL blind eye on the price.. like.. huh?!! and it doesn't help that i have to be picky.. and find a certain particular cut of jeans.. so that it balances out my hips.. yada yada.. (women.. i know.. you men must be thinking that now!).. see.. it's so difficult to buy pants lar.. ugh.
ok.. i don't mind salespeople kay.. but trust me.. it's a really annoying thing when you ask for your size(well, who knows your body better than yourself rite?) and the salesperson goes.. "huh??? that size?! cannot be rite??" and shoves a MUCH mUCH smaller size to you.. y'know.. i understand the cutting is different for the pants.. but could it actually be THAT big a difference? well.. i'm flattered to think that i LOOK smaller than i actually am.. but let's face it.. i have to come back to reality sometime rite? specially when the pants can't even go past my hips? yup.. oh.. amazing thing is.. this saleslady in nz once gave me a dress to try.. so yeah.. just tried it on.. was a li'l tight.. managed to zip up and all.. but i couldn't really breathe in that thing(it was a tube dress lar..)considering that i had been asking for a particular size all that while.. i'd thought she'd given me the same size.. but well, when i popped out and asked her for a bigger size.. she came back with another dress.. checked out what size it was, and i was wondering. hm.. why did she give me one size smaller than the one i was trying(well, i thought the dress i had on was 'L').. so i asked her.. er.. miss.. what size is the dress i have on? "oh.. 's'.." (???!!!!!!) oh.. so that's why i can't breathe in this thing.. oh.. and i thought i'd put on more weight.. how nice.. well, was out of that dress in a flash. eh hem.. yeah.. moving on..
anyhoo.. sorrylar..i've just realised what a rant i am today. hmmm.. so much to complain about buying clothes. hehe.. ok.. next post, i'll try to be more entertaining.. heheh..
