Shopping Frenzy

Today was the Isetan Member Presale. My pregnant lunch buddy wanted to have a quick lunch and then check-out the maternity clothes on sale. Since I didn’t want to spend lunch time alone, I had no choice but to follow her. When she was busy trying out the clothes, I decided to browse the other sections. I noticed a lot of customers were scrambling through these stack of clothes. I was about to approach the section when suddenly I was pushed from behind. Apparenty this lady was trying to get to the area first. I was too shocked to say anything and just stared at her with utter disbelief. In her arms I could see what could have been 50 pieces of clothes. The only thing she could say was "sorry aaa...sorry aaaa..itu sale 70%..takut habis la". I was loss for words. Gave her a sharp disapproving look, rolled my eyes and left. No point to tell her off coz people like wouldn't give a damn anyway.... *sheesh* How desperate can some people get?.

I hate sales..Ok, maybe ‘hate’ is too strong a word. I guess I just don’t particularly like all the hassle bassle and craziness of people rushing to buy their stuffs. Coming from a woman, this does sound kind of crazy, huh? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the normal sales but if its things like ‘one day sales only’ or ‘member presales only’, where its jam packed with loads of people, aiyooohh...I cannot tahan la. I don’t have the patience to queue, be it to pay or to try out the clothes. I was amazed to see the queue today. Oh God..I just can’t be bothered. Some people take it too seriously and start grabbing every cheap item they see and wouldn't care less about the other people around them.The higher the sale percentage , the crazier people get.

*sigh* I think I’ll just settle for the normal sales where I can shop at my own pace. There’s less stress and there’s no need to compete. Maybe I pay a bit more compared to the presales but at least I get to shop in comfort :)
