After constant infinite nagging by my dearest mummy, and my dearest companion, munyee,

* formal introduction of miss munyee into jedrantsagain.blogspot.com; she will be appearing frequently from now on, please welcome her with big claps ... *claps*claps*claps*

I finally got my lazy arse out to shop for new year clothes... I was more or less cheated by munyee to shop, we were planning just to have a simple meal in Kim Gary JJ, cos my dearest sister gave me a 15% discount voucher. However, a blardy queue prevented us from eating there, and we head for ramen instead. As usual, we should walk after meal to ease digestion and was somehow hypnotized to shop... I am beginning to wonder if I was set up, munyee being the mastermind behind all these.

I planned to wait until the very last minute (on the eve of CNY) to do my shopping... this is due to the fact that I believed in my simple proven theory:

"price of clothes decreases in relative with approaching festivities"

The story:
Last year, I bought my pants trousers about 3 weeks before CNY with 20% discount (in case any of you is wondering, yes, I shop for my clothes once a year. Unless I am in dire need of clothes or I see something irresistably irresistable, I will not spend on clothes!!!). 3 fateful days before CNY, I bumped across the same thing, in the same shop, same size and same colour with 40% discount; what the fcuk?!?!?! I felt cheated, I was devastated and I confronted the Sales Assistant (SA).

Evil SA: Hi, welcome to ABCXYZ.
Handsome Me: Hi, I actually bought a pair of these 3 weeks ago from here.
Evil SA: Anything wrong with it?
Handsome Me: You bet. It was on 20% discount (while pointing to the 40% discount tag and giving an innocent and puzzled look).
Evil SA: (Gives a sweet but evil smile) We're having a stock clearance sale currently.
Handsome Me: And previously?
Evil SA: That was the Chinese New Year sales. Would you like to get another pair?
Handsome Me: (what the ?!??!?!) Erm, no thanks. (smiles and leaves).

end of story.

In a record time of about 1 hour, I'm done with my shirts (should be pants as well if not for my oversized belly). I also realize that d largest waist size in most of d shops is 36 (yes, I know I'm farking fat, so what!). I was proud of myself, very proud, very very proud; grinned at munyee and boasted about how quick I am in getting my stuff. In retaliation, she wacked me. Ouch!
Oh, btw, I just llluuuurrrrrvvvvveeeeee discounts...





Well, got a Choc Frap + rhumba chips from Starbucks and headed home.
