Ever wondered why people describe places immediately after a sale as 'swept by tornado'? Because, they really look like one.
There's this shop in Times Square which sells everything in the house at RM15. There were bubble dresses, cocktail dresses, interesting tops, a variety of bottoms and jeans, AND a massive crowd. Of course, Miss Shopaholic joined the tornado league.
People - shop assistants and customers alike - were moving everywhere, pulling pieces after pieces off the racks and putting pieces after pieces back on the racks. Everybody was just so busy in the shop - the assistants were busy trying to make everything as orderly as possible (I regarded that as time-wasting) while everybody else was busy grabbing every other piece they saw to make sure they did not lose out on anything.
I combed through every single rack, and lay my hands on almost every design in the house. Come on, cocktail dresses and bubble dresses for RM15 each? Are you doing justice to yourself to not buy? Plus, they didn't look cheapo at all. What more could I ask for! Yet I knew very well, in the event I listened to Miss Shopaholic, Miss Stupidity would be skinned and fried, and most probable stuck onto the ceiling for bringing home something useless. Of course, they don't see the difference in marginal cost, that's why they'll disregard those dresses. What to do, they don't study Econs. HAH.
The process of elimination was again, a painful one. I was all the while debating with myself which one to let go, and the conclusion was, Miss Stupidity is a greedy girl who wants everything she fancies. I just couldn't let go of any piece! Most fortunately, Miss Rational took control eventually and only got one piece - the type of top I have yet to include in my wardrobe.
And now I'm beginning to yearn for those I did not buy.
Wouldn't the world be nice if money is like air, that you can take as much you want?

Listen to the lyrics...
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her or she'll be inclined to say
'How do I know, he loves me?'
'How do I know, he's mine?'I can't wait for its DVD to be released. I promise this time, for once, I'll support original and shun piracy.
But just for this one. HEH.
