One Source of Frustration

*Screams* Shopping for clothes can be quite a frustrating experience. I have spent almost an entire day (from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) trying to look for clothes, but I only bought myself a V-neck T-shirt and a belt.

This is so disappointing, I have combed the shops and departmental stores from Somerset area to Orchard Road area, yet I could not find one pair of trousers and a long-sleeves shirt that I could fancy and willingly buy.

The nagging thing is how to I try to feign nonchalance and bear with my mum's nagging, should she bug me with why I did not get clothes for the Chinese New Year. For goodness sake, I did try to find, but I could not find anything that was worth buying.

I could not possibly buy something I know I won't wear more than once. Isn't it a virtue to be careful with one's money and not buy things that one would not wear?

Actually, I do not quite want to spend much on clothes, especially if the clothes aren't what I like to wear. First and foremost, I want my clothes to be comfortable to wear. As such, the texture of the clothes is what I will be most concerned about. Next, are the colours and design of the clothes. Nag at me if you wish, I just have preference that may be different from yours.

By 4.30 p.m., I was almost going to cry from frustrations. Why can't shopping for clothes be as pleasant as looking at nice sculptures?

My good friend, Mystic, has been so kind and patient to be my company to shop for clothes with me. If not, I might have given up on shopping and could have gone to the Singapore Art Museum after lunch. Shopping for clothes can be rather boring. I yawned numerous times today while shopping.

Perhaps if you wish to be sympathetic, then please lend your sympathy not to me, but to my dear friend who has to bear with me and my shopping for clothes.

Whatever it is, I thank Mystic for being kind to take time to shop with me. I reckon I must have been one of the least pleasant person to shop with?

To add to the woes, Orchard Road was pretty crowded by late afternoon. I wish I have the powers to make the crowd go elsewhere. If I don't, I shall excuse myself and go elsewhere. So I did. I left for home.
