I wonder if dogs feel tired when they bark and whether there has been any dog in the world which barked until it lost its voice. Just a very strange question that just came to my mind.
It was a walk down Orchard Road yesterday. I realized that when it comes to window shopping/ shopping, my stamina can be quite good. I guess the most important thing to note when you know you're going to do serious window shopping/ shopping (read: long hours) is NOT to be in high heels. Flats ensure you can walk properly and swiftly avoid the next person cutting into your path. Never mind that you do not look as good in flats as compared to heels. It's a walk down a street, not a catwalk along a platform.
The CNY fair is now on at Ngee Ann City. Fairs (foodfairs especially) are a must see whenever they are on. But of course there's no guarantee that you'd get a good deal although you can get many things all at once under 1 roof. There was a sale going on at G2000. Guys long-sleeved tops were going for as low as $23 each and pants cost $29 for those on sale. Needless to say, it attracted a rather huge crowd.
When walking around the upper floors of Ngee Ann City, I noticed guys long sleeved shirts costing like $200 or $300 over. I wonder how many they can sell out each day... But of course, it's a luxury that is for the super rich. It's like LV. We do not have to worry for them about the stores closing down or going bust. Luxuries will always remain because they are symbols of status and there will always be demand for them. But one thing for sure is, I don't know how to tell a $300 shirt from a $23 one. Guys' shirts just look the same to me, just that some prints look nicer and have more pleasant colour combinations.
A guy friend once told me it's easy to buy women's clothes and shoes whereas guys got to spend so much. I could only muster a "..." look. That's because I've never heard of such rubbish before. Nobody would care if a guy wears the same pair of leather shoes to work for the rest of his working life but women have to match this and that. I feel that in this society, more is expected from women in terms of dressing especially for work. At the end of the day, guys only wear shirts and pants to work. Even if a decent and super nice shirt cost like $100. Think of it this way, no matter what shirt a guy buys, at the end of the day, the shirts will definitely match the typical black pants (which do not vary that much to the naked eye in terms of cutting) Everything just look monotonous. Guys can use the same old ties and cuff links again and again and no one would care too. You can mix and match and everything will work just fine.
However, I didn't do any shopping for clothes myself. Buying clothes for CNY can be both a chore and a challenge. I've already bought 1 top about a week ago and am looking out for a dress. It's easier to get a dress for CNY so that I do not have to think about getting a bottom that matches my top and vice versa. Dresses definitely make life easier :)Labels: Uncategorized
