My Shopping Syndrome

Yesterday, Jasmine, Lee Hoon & myself went out for lunch as it was rather a stressful day for Jasmine and she wanted to get-out-of-the-office. Once a while, I will feel the same way too... Taking some "fresh air" away from eating within the office is definitely a breather.

I suggested Tesco SA since I would prefer to eat my lunch in an air-conditional place since it's very sunny outside. While waiting for my food after our orders, I excused myself to go get myself a tube, since I decided to wear the dress this weekend for my uncle's wedding, I think it's better to be less obscene and to go with a tube inside just in case the elderly-folks are not too happy with the-sight.

Yes, I come from a strings of very-sincerely-conservative family backgrounds starting from my Grandma being the Queen now of the Lee family and then followed by an aunt who probably comment a little here and there. Last but not least, my dad will probably has some thoughts of his own but he will keep that in his heart or just share it with my mom. But, eventually, the "secret thought" will reach me... Hehehe... *Grins* I can't belief I just elaborate myself just for a "tube".

Anyway, while searching... I came across a green-based with pink-roses design dress and I got it for Elisa. Was looking for something that I could get for Kristen too but unfortunately, the sizes are not suitable. I zoomed back quickly to the "mamak" and my food just arrived steaming-hot when I hit my ass on the chair. Talked about "timing" *chuckled*

After lunch, two of them splitted with me as they need to get food while I had to continue my hunt for the right tube. And after getting them, I strolled back to where I needed to wait for them. And while waiting, saw a stall selling lots of bags and "ta-da", there are saw the bag that I wanted to get for my KK trip.

As usual, my shopping-syndrome is I need to ask opinions before I decided to buy something that will cost me more than RM20 or something related to fashion (eg. shoes, dress, pants, make-up). I hardly buy bags and since I needed one for my KK trip, I had already set my mind to hunt for a big one since I had my love for the design on a drama-tv series quite a while back. This one happened to be the exact same one that Tess; a colleague of mine bring to office sometimes; which happened to be the one I was looking for... The sales-girl offered me for Rm38 after a 10% discount. I tried to bargain for lower but she said she can't and it's the last piece.

But, I didn't get it yesterday instead I told Jing Jing about it and she actually requested Tess to bring hers today so she can advised me whether to buy it or not. OMG, everyone is so kind to go thru this "trouble" to make me decide to buy or not-to-buy. *shy shy shy*blushing*

Of course, the thought of the "bag" never left my brains since my eyes have betrayed me. And with Jing Jing futher encouraged me, I really couldn't resist. So, I went back to Tesco after work today and a Chinese lady is there. She opened her mouth to offer me RM35 and I tell you, "my brains were smiling". But, I pretended and asked her, if she has a new one. And she go thru the plastic boxes and search them and came up to inform me that, it's the last piece. So, I bargained further with the story that, "My friend (refering to Tess) bought the MNG brand for the exact same design for only RM49, this no brand, discount lar..." and finally she said, "RM33 best price already." and I said, "okie!"

Well, mom saw me carried a big plastic bag and asked me what I got today. Told her I got myself a big bag so she was curious and then, she took it and have a look and she commented, "Like that only? No design also... Why you buy so big bag for what?" I just shrugged...
