Men & their GF's purses; High humps and Women's jeans

Hello my darlings,

For years and years, a phenomenon has plagued malls in Singapore: Men who carry their GF's bags. I don't need a picture to illustrate this. You KNOW what I'm talking about. Notice I said "GF" and not "Wife". First of all, a girl who proclaims that she loves her BF to death, and then makes him carry her little pink purse, or Louis Vuitton shoulder bag while he walks around, holding her hand in a mall, in public, is a HYPOCRITE. Where's the love? If you love someone, don't you want the best for them? Do you really think it's best for your BF to be seen carrying your purse and shoulder bag?
And honestly, I've never seen a married man carry his wife's purse or shoulder bag. Just a warning to women who make their BFs carry their purses - This feat ends after you guys say your "I Do's".

Second of all, I have always wanted to know the girl's reason for not wanting to carry her own little purse or shoulder bag.

Third of all, to all men in such a relationship, you have the right to INSIST on choosing your GF's next handbag, purse or shoulder bag since you will be sharing it with her.

On a totally different subject, have you noticed how high and narrow the humps are in the Bugis Junction carpark? These dangerous, potentially whiplash causing, suspension wrecking humps are present almost every other few meters. One thing these humps have taught me: To be effective, you have to terrorize. After all, psychiatrists have said that personal traumatic experiences are the most vivid of all types of human recollection. After I accidentally/carelessly rushed through two of those humps, I was nervous around the car park and was extremely cautious to look out for the next one. That place is like a mine field! They're more like BUMPS than HUMPS.

And good news for women who love wearing jeans! (Myself included). I have noticed that the prices of women's jeans have dropped. They've become a lot more affordable, with good fit, good designs, good range of colors (apart from the usual shades of blue) and are of very decent quality. This is all thanks to the numerous and large American, British, Australian and Spanish High Street Fashion chains that have been sprouting around Singapore like a thriving Mushroom field.

Gone are the days of relying on Levi's, GUESS, A/X and other up market brands to get a decent pair of jeans.

GUESS shoes & pushy sales women

GUESS shoes are killer shoes, they-kill-my-feet. They put me through torture. They're the kinda shoes, you can't walk in for more than 200 meters. I have three pairs: Sky high heels, platform flip flops and leather flats with pointy fronts. I keep buying GUESS shoes because they are just so nice, I just can't resist. But I think, after my third one I realized, that all those giant, bleeding blisters were just not worth it. I'm not rich, I walk around a lot, and those shoes weren't made for walkin. Maybe I'll consider them again in the future when I can afford a car.

And wussup with pushy sales women?! All Singaporean women out there, who love shopping (which s'porean woman doesn't anyway?), will understand this plight! These sales women don't just leave you at the "Ha-loh..Weow-come" greeting at the door, but the moment you start browsin, she's there, at your back, watching you, following you from rack to rack! And randomly saying, as you touch a random piece of clothing on the rack "That one have three colors"...alright thanks, I nod and smile acknowledging. And then I take two steps front and I hear that voice again "This one new arriver, got 20 per cen discown.." and then I see a nice one I wanna take off the rack to have a better look, so I take it off and there she was, waiting faithfully, standing behind me. She had been following me around since I entered the shop, "WAN TO TRY?!!" "Erm, no it's ok, just looking." I walk to the mirror, holding the top in front of me, trying to envision myself in it, before deciding if I'd like to try it or not..and there she was again, right beside me, lookin at the mirror, at me, "Veri nice. This one veri nice. Very suit you, we have also pink and blue." I respond with a, "I see, ok." And walk back to the rack to return the top. I touch another one, and there comes the voice...... A-G-A-I-N, "WAN TO TRY?!!" OH MY LORD! NO I don't! But I want to try telling you to find another job! Cause you're not fun to shop with sista!

There are some shops, where the clothes are nice, but the sales women are way too pushy. They put me off those shops forever!

And all those times, I tried clothes, and I ended up not wanting to buy them. Oh that pissed off look on their faces! Do they not understand the concept of "good service will bring you return customers"?

I've had it! From now on, I'll go shopping wearing a bitch face, so no one bothers me. Or go to those shops with no pushy sales women. I'm an independent shopper, I want to be left alone. If I need your help, I will ask for help. I leave right away once I start rolling my eyes, for fear that things MIGHT get ugly.

Ta my love, THE SHOPPING BIATCH.
