(disclaimer: this is a gloat and boast post. read at your tolerance)
so when was the last time i bought a pair of pants?
that was a long time ago. i bought two, yes sir not one but two pairs of bootleg corduroys which costed me rm180 each. dat was 2004. oh yeah i bought a pair of grey slacks somewhat in december 2005 that costed rm80, just because i agreed to go to my ex-publisher's wedding at the Meridien. i ended up not giving him any angpow. hehe.
there was a time when i would just buy clothes like my mom in a super hyper market shopping spree and to make it bad, somtimes i would just wear them t-shirts and shirts only once. s would asked me sometimes what happened to that shirt/t-shirt/pants i bought in yadda yadda... i would just "i dont know la... i think lost it". i always ended up wearing the same thing over and over again until it has a permanent thick white deodorant stains. sigh.
but actually this is not about how much i would spend on clothes. nowadays i always end up buying new tees in FOS (they're not so full of shit after all u know. u get nice v-necks with that old seasoned look for only rm20. oh, how metrosexual can u be?).
this is about how i splurge. i was kind of stressed out when i got to know my editor went to germany to watch them bloody england wankers trying (try harder please...) to beat them swedish lads (wow, check out those swedish chicks over there). i mean i dont mind where he wants to go anyway, but can u please give me the local stories before u go?! can u actually believe he started to email me the stories TWO HOURS(!) before flight time? lucky me, i've got editor-in-chief tersayang. :P ya, saya memang gatal.
yeah so i was stressed out. when i tensed, i need, neeeeeeeeeeeeed to splurge. a friend asked me to go to on a vacation. yay! but my beloved art director (did i told you i was gatal?) needed me on monday for some press checks. there goes the vacation.
still hasnt found my escapism, i went straight to mvm after work to buy myself a capo for my guitar (oh i just bought a new guitar last month). i indulged myself looking thru wireless routers, mp3 players, thumbdrives, headphones, external harddisks at the IT centre until it finally struck me... I NEED A NEW BICYCLE!
went home and dropped by the bestest bike shop and drool myself on the bikes and the parts. after very, very, very, very, very much contemplating, googling, rolling on the bed, space staring and getting a massage (oh i went for a massage late last nite costed me rm80. it was gooooooooooooooood. dat's another story), i've decided to upgrade my old bike instead of buying a new one.
so the upgrades were:
handle bar x 1
stamp x 1
stamp adapter x 1
cranks x 1 pair
bottom bracket x 1
gear shifters x 1 pair
freewheels x 1
rear derailer x 1
totalled up to... KACHING! rm370.
with that price u can get a brand new bike. to justify my guilt, i said to myself that i have save rm200 because the bike dat i wanted is RM600. hehe.
so there goes one happy mofo. oh im so paris "lindsay-lohan-is-a-fire-crotch" hilton. do i sound like a girl? would i get more girlfriends then? did i say i was bloody gatal? told ya it's a gloat and boast post. who told u to read it anyways? u think of me differently now? haha! :P
