Importance of Shopping
I was not feeling well today, or at least not after being asked to come back early last night at the very last minute for her presentation. Well, i can't take it out on her as she was goin to have a presentation early in the morning. Helped her to polish her introductory part, which i still find a lot of flaws in the slides, but get her in path so that the presentation will move on smoothly.
Then she took the car out with her friends to do shopping. Yeah, i dun like shopping, so just let her go out with her friends. She was happy when she's back, showing me what she have bought and all. As her conversation never goes more then 5 minutes, she have finished showing me all the things she have bought the whole evening. Well, i wasn't that impressed, though she showed me a bag that I'd love her to use, and a mini skirt that's totally-not-her. It might be due to the disatisfaction i've been keeping for the past few days.
Anyway, come back to the topic. I haven't get anything to eat besides the ice cream i bought on my way back from campus. So decided to drive down to Jaya Jusco to read up some books. I guess it really helps me a lot. Found the Illustrated version of DaVinci selling for RM96. Luckily i din buy it when i was in MPH on Friday (RM109). Yet, i still have second thoughts weither to get it or not. Left the bookshop after a while as there's not much new arrivals. Been there too frequent dy i guess... :D.
I dropped by Cultural Land for a brief walk. Trying to find a book on 太极四十二式. That's because i saw the 师傅 bringing a copy of printed books during the training on sunday morning. It was imported by that particular bookstore, and it was only sold for RM18. Too bad there's a limited variety and there's not one which suits me. Maybe have to go Mahkota Parade to see if there's more choices on the branch they have over there. But instead of spending RM20 for a pair of slippers, i manage to find a book on photography which attracts my attention. Happily paid RM18 for it and go back a happy person. All the bad mood i have on her is gone, guess that's the fun of shopping that you gals never know how to explain.
What i can think of is that when i'm bored i'm either out of new knowledge to share, or out of topic for conversation. So instead of spending hundreds of dollars to get new clothes to impress your boyfriend, I took only a portion of that to make myself happy. Can't wait anymore but flip through the pages once i'm back home. Learnt quite something from the book, but need some translation as it's written in Mandrin. Dad must be happy as i'm reading mandrin. He hardly spend time teaching me how to read during young, but he encourages me to read mandrin books. Hopefully he'll like this book. Shopping really makes me happy, especially shopping for knowledge, and not cuteness and fashion.

i like this entry.;) about the shopping for knowledge part. i totally understand ur feeling after getting a good book, the feeling that u just cant wait to finish the book, but yet dun want to read it too fast. afraid to finish it and its the end. complicated huh.thats part of the joy of reading.:)
hey,but u have to understand about the 'girl shopping' part. really. u're not a girl, so u cant judge us by saying what we're doin is totally useless. everyone has their own way of relaxing or own idea of 'sense of achievement'. i LOVE shopping too. but that doesnt mean i am superficial rite? and even though i dun understand a shit about photography, but i respect ur hobby, and i dun bad mouth about anything u're doin with it.even if it became an obsession.which i hope not.hehe.so u just have to accept the fact that girls like to shop, and respect us!;P
so basically i think u shudnt be unhappy about the fact that girls like to shop. try to see it from a different angle, they are helping the country's economy,rite? ;)
hey..buy that da vince book!! i wanna read too!!
Yi Ling
agree with yi ling. actually there's not much need for me to fix his mind as wat yi ling said has some how speak my mind.
BUT, unfortunately, this is a public domain, and i think it's superbly not fair for me as he commented on me wrongly. so i guess i have my right to speak out.
sorry for calling u at the last minute. it didn't mean that i left him with no alternative. actually he has chosen to so call 'come back early'. and only turn up 1 hour later from the appointment which ended up, i wasn't able to get enough of my sleep for the morning presentation.
secondly, i shop for things which i think reasonable for its price and worth buying. i m not those kind of gal who will simply shop for a plain kookai top which costs nearly hundred or may be over. and i dun shop just try to impress my bf. i shop to DESTRESS from my exam tensions.
any dissatisfaction u have on ur gf, it's doesn't fair for u to publicize it in public domains cos it only shows ur immaturity. u don't even know how to differentiate between public and private issues.
it's either u r a person who likes to complain or u only looking at ppl's bad points. readers, did he ever praised her gf? those who know her, is she that bad kind of person that only causes troubles?
haha...guess i placed my words wrongly on this issue. The only thing that i'd like to say here is that shopping does mean much to both sexes. It's just the way they shop that differs. Thanks for respecting my hobby, well, i'll respect ur's too.
My disatisfaction are publised as i wish. And a publication that's controled is not called freedom of speech anymore. As for me, read wutever i like, ignore those i don't. Good day folks.
some contents are not nice to be make public. or else, there won't be a word such as respect. do i have to reply and stress again for ur previous post on ur trip to kl? where name are clearly announced?
I guess i'll better lock the discussion as to make that girl mad again.
enough said.
