Shopping = philosophy = love

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Don scratch head while u saw the title…ya…That’s what i mean…There’s so much philosophy in shopping and it seems shopping for jeans has so many similarities in love. Below is a real scenario…haha…

I was searching for a pair of jeans recently. It all started since almost one month ago. After my final exam, I started searching for a pair of jeans. I found a pair which is so nice in Espirit. nice cutting, nice colour, nice fabric. It seems so suitable for me. but when i see the price tag…………RM 329…-.-lll….How am i suppose to buy this?hmmm…With a feeling of sadness, I walked away with hope that I will surely find my pair of jeans with a more suitable price. Shops and shops i’ve gone…Bought many other things besides my jeans…hee..=p…Finally, one day i went into Padini…and there was a section for ladies’ jeans…eh…they even have name for the jeans and I didn’t know those which are for guys are called "Alex" and those which are for girls are called "Alicia"…!!!eh!!!EH!!!it’s my name..haha…so, I took one to try on…it fitted…nice colour, nice fabric, nice cutting too…and when i took a look at the price tag…RM107…ok wat…..yup…and that’s it…I got my jeans…at the right time, right jeans…=)

So, to think of it…It sounds so much like looking for  ur partner in life….We have to take time, choose, and compare….just to find the right one.haha…likewise, once we get the right pair of jeans, we’ll wear it for a long long time..normally for life time..Cos, the longer u wear it, the more comfortable it is..I’m sure u’ll agree with me right…We’ll wear our jeans until it’s torn little here and there…Likewise, if u’ve got ur suitable partner, the longer u be together, the better u feel…But, if u didnt get the right size, right cutting, or right colour. U just feel like changing it, cos it doesnt make u feel comfortable…sometimes it’s also because the person who wears it have changed…U outgrow ur jeans or the jeans outgrow u…haha…so u either go on diet to fit into the old pair of jeans or u eat more…or u buy a new one…=) So, here’s the tricky part…U don just change a new pair of jeans once u feel that u didnt get the right one, but u give it a chance.. Try and wear it more…If in the end, it’s still not the right pair then we really have to get a new pair…

Hmmm…is there a chance to get the unsuitable one even if u put in lots of effort and time to decide??

I guess yes!!!ooopsss…then how ah?

Oh…just leave it to fate lah…haha….Just like getting the jeans….

few of the things which happen through these 2.5 years.still updating…

Honestly, I dislike changes. Changes bring about anxiety. Changes make ppl feel insecure. but, as ppl says changes are inevitable in life and we learn through the various changes in life. Changes make us grow and broaden our mind. Have to open up our hearts, accept changes and grow to be a stronger and better person.

Thankful to god as I have a lot, a lot of friends here. Things won’t be the same without you guys…It has really been a great journey…
