Survivor Shopping: Hong Kong
the stupid thing abt blogging is that the posts come out in chrono descending order starting with the latest at the top.........so now that im intending to do 3 different posts instead of a one big chunk post on the latest happenings, it looks weird.......
heck.....
this post will be on something i came up with while shopping w J in hk.......
The Men's Survival Guide to Shopping with your Girlfriend
First off, a piece of advice to the ladies in the house. DO NOT bring your boy shopping with you. for the simple reason that males are not made for shopping. and the only reason we ever agree to go shopping with you is because we wanna make our girls happy. but very often, in fact all of the time, it ends up with us feeling miserable.
we are not your shopping companions. pls find another girl to go shopping with you.
if it is company you want, we can give u company but not at such an expense of misery. men are from mars, women are from venus, they are DIFFERENT. they have DIFFERENCES. so DO NOT expect us to enjoy lugging ourselves around from shop to shop. you cannot plug a triangle into a circlular hole. geddit?
however, shld any male find himself stuck in a situation of terrible boredom and leg aching misery........i have found a few tips to get through the day and reducing the final sulking. the
following applies mainly to my experience in HK, but some points might be relevant to most other situations.....
1. Remember that freebies are available when you make a purchase in any HK shop. im not refering to free pieces of underwear or perfumes, etc. I'm refering to freebies such as directions to the nearest toilet. this is especially important when in a place where toilets are scarce and hard to find.
2. The toilet is your fren. it is the only place where you can sit and rest your tired legs without disturbance.
3. Bring deep heat rub.
4. Load up during yum cha sessions. Believe me, you will need it.
5. Think about all the possible things you can do in the event of a natural disaster such as a typhoon.
6. Bring/buy a mag to read. Any mag, even if it is porn. When in situations of despair, anything goes.
7. Do not get your hopes up when your girl says she feels tired or she needs to visit the loo. Chances are she will forget everything once she a shop with interesting clothes catches her eye. I remember my sec 1 Chinese teacher telling us that the human bladder is capable of being held for 6hrs. I have finally seen proof.
8. Keep yourself oriented to the map. it will help speed up the process in the event that she forgets which direction the end of the road is at. Though that is highly unlikely, but in shld it happen, you can either trick her into believeing that you can reached the end of the row of shops or you will at least prevent her from spending more time in shops that you have already been to but somehow seem new to her.
9. Make yourself useful by modelling clothes that she intends to buy for her father or brother. or if both of you wear the same sizes and clothes, you could model for her. but in that case, you wouldnt be needing to read all this.
10. Shoe shops are generally good news. But beware of the shop lady who might chase you out for occupying the seats meant for her paying customers.
all said and done, i implore the ladies in the house never bring your boys along when u need to shop. it is the same reason y we dun bring u along to sim lim square for our electronic needs or to a garage/workshop for our automotive needs - cos you will get extremely bored in time.
think of it this way............girls when you shop, you wanna enjoy yourselves.......you wanna take the time to mix and match. would you wanna be babysitting an over-sized sulking beluga who cannot give you constructive opinions on clothes?
on to the next post.......maybe later in the night......next one is abt the trip proper........
