ok, finally after quite long, i've found a unperishable that i actually want to buy.




















it's one of those adverts that i chance upon on the course of a mundane, random, boring shopping trip, talking with my friends, walking pass streams of noisy crowds and claustrophia-causing shops...i turn around, and by chance its there. it takes me 1 second as i pass it by, then i do a double take and turn around, and end up standing in front of the advertisement, just staring and staring...

I remember the last time that happened was when i was in secondary school. it was after choir practice and i was waiting at the IBS [international bus stop, cedarian and marist-only lingo] with jayanthi, and we were talking and when i turned to look i saw this huge ad of this guy for calvin klein and i really, really loved the ad. it was a fantastic photograph. i searched all around online for it but just couldnt find it ever again...


anyway randomness.

i was talking to chengteng about shopping, and she was concerned with my obvious lack of interest in it, or, specifically, lack of interest in clothes shopping. she then proceeded to go on talking excitedly about how she would save money on eating so that she can buy clothes and shoes because she loves clothes and shoes. not that she buys very expensive stuff, but she has seriously A LOT of clothes. maybe it's me, but she has like, BOXES AND BOXES of clothes can. like huge ikea storage boxes of clothes before she hung them up when we moved from A block to B block after the holidays ended. and like DOZENS DOZENS of shoes.

i know im an anomaly with respect to this [considering i have the xx chromosome but have less than 20 hangers worth of going-out clothes inside my closet in hall] but im really not exaggerating chengteng's avid love of clothes and all things wearable. maybe im just being some cheapskate lousy poke aunty moke [ok i really dont know whats that] but i really dont see the point in buying clothes. not much

i tried to reason with chengteng about how money can be better spent on other things like food, music and books. food, especially, seems to be a large part of my life. live to eat; my life principle. eat to live; epitome of ms ng chengteng. i dont know really; despite knowing deep in my gut that any wonderful perishable i ingest will return to nature in the form of waste material i still cant seem to tear myself away from the wonderful feeling of eating a delicious perishable. even if sometimes i have to pay a slightly more absurd price for it. same for a book or a cd.




different ways of looking at things, i guess.

anyway today, miao, wei and i enjoyed quite a few delectable perishables before they perished in our stomachs. emptier wallets but happier stomachs.
