Dream dress

I went to shop for Chinese New Year dresses on last Sat with Lao Gong at Paragon because I felt like wearing dresses for CNY.

We passed by a boutique called POIS and I kept on looking at a white dress with floral prints on a manequin. Upon seeing my eyes glued on the dress, lao gong asked me to go in although I had told him that the dresses are expensive. So both of us went in.

I asked a salesperson, Kelly, to show me the dress on the manequin. She explained to me that the dress was the only piece on the manequin and showed me a similar dress in purple. Although she wanted to take off the dress for me to try, I told her that I would try the purple dress because I did not want to trouble her.

Gosh...the dress fitted me perfectly! I have difficulty looking for dresses because my bosoms are quite big, waist is quite small and bum is big. It was very rare to find a dress that fits me perfectly. Even lao gong said that the dress looked gorgeous on me.

I wanted to buy the dress but when I saw the price, I almost fainted.

$3500+ for the purple dress!!!

When I asked Kelly the price of the white dress with floral prints on the manequin, it cost $4500+. As explained by her, the dress was totally handmade from silk by using a wheel machine and not by those machines which produced cloth in bulk. It will probably take a few weeks to make the material and hence that explained the exorbitant price. The touch was totally different from other normal silk as it was very soft and cooling.

She knew from my expression that the dress was expensive and recommended me other dresses. I liked another green dress that she showed to me but the dress costs $800+.

I had to leave the shop immediately because they were so many pretty dresses in the boutique and I was afraid I might kiss goodbye to my money. How I wish I could own the shop!

Although I didn't buy any dress, I had to say the service by Kelly was fantastic. She wanted to help me to dress and undress but I felt embarassed so I declined her offer. Secondly, she explained the reason of the exorbitant price of the dress patiently and thirdly, she did not look down on us although lao gong and I were wearing jeans and recommended more dresses with a smile on her face.

In fact, the shops (G-star, POIS, GG<5, face="arial">like "walking carrots". It's totally different from others who had said that the salesperson at Paragon were snobbish and did not bother to entertain them. But it's bad to look like "walking carrots".

Now, the white floral dress has become my dream dress as it will only appear in my dreams (unless I strike Toto this week). I think I even have to dream about striking Toto too because the probability is too low and almost impossible.

My dream dress

We went to other shops and all the dresses looked ugly when compared to POIS. Lao gong commented that he had to believe in "yi4 fen1 qian2, yi4 fen1 huo4".

In the end, I bought two dresses from GG<5.>

He gave 10/10 for the dress in POIS. When I asked him to buy for me, he kept quiet about it.

I love the dress but I just can't bear to part my money on an expensive dress that costs $4500+. Probably the day will arrive when I earn $5000 per month and I will buy it.

Arguing

Nobody wants to argue or quarrel with me.

Even my mum and lao gong said that I can argue for several days non-stop and they are sort of afraid of me. Even when they are sleeping or in the toilet, I will just keep on yacking.

I am a type of person who can't sit or stand quietly if someone provodes me. If a person tries to provode me, I will "reciprocate the favors". They are doing me a favor by quarreling with me. The more they quarrel with me, the happier I am. I'm a weirdo.

I will argue with the person no matter how long it takes. I can still remember when I was in Primary school, I argued with my classmate's mother for very long until she stomped off. She said that I pushed her daughter down which was simply ridiculous. I was so skinny that time that even the wind could just blow me away while her daughter was so big sized. It was definitely not the truth so I quarreled with her while I saw her daughter hiding.

She stomped off, complained to my mum and my mum scolded me. But the usual me quarreled back and got beatings. I was so used to her beatings that I did not even feel the pain.

My mum always said that I should become a lawyer since young since I like to argue. Until one day, my result showed that I can go into legal studies and she forbiddened me to study that course. All she said is "No future at all!" I suspected that she was afraid that I liked to argue more if I start to study legal studies. Or even worse, offend people with my mouth.

In Les Dames, a dames (Soluna') argues with me today. Alas, someone argues with me. I have been waiting so long for someone to provode me because my family members and friends know that I can't be provoded. She interpreted wrongly and said what I had said was contradicting. Of course, I had to argue back since it's a paragraph that is straight to the point and yet she made a hoo-haa out of it. Furthermore I did not make any personal attack on anyone when I wrote "Dun tell me a person do not have the basic common sense that it's an additional expenditure from seeing my post. Then the person truly does not exercise his/her intellect ability" unless she thinks it's she herself. Then it's she herself who orchestrates her own personal attack by being pitiful to let people think that I'm pin-pointing at her. I do not care what others think about me - be it a good or bad person. All I want is to argue.

Argument equivalent to argumentative verbal exchange adds fun to my life. Or else life is so boring.

However I only argue when someone steps onto my tail. I will let the person to have a taste of her medicine in double dosage. On the other hand, I will return twice to the person if the person treats me well sincerely.

My arguing helps during shopping where the term mysteriously changed to "bargain". I can bargain until the price slashed from RM$180 to RM$60 in KL. Even in Far East Plaza, I can even slash the price to 80% of the original price. In Causeway Point, I bargained and managed to get 30% - 50% discount for the watches.

Without shopping, life is boring too.

Looking for a new flat in AMK

Gahmen is always urging people to get married but it's so difficult to buy a flat. Lao gong and I do not have inside info from HDB regarding about WIS.

Even when HDB hasn't announced WIS, I will able to see people queuing at 6pm at HDB hub when the actual WIS starts the next day.

Balloting is so difficult to get when thousands of people applied and only 200 people will get it.

Even the condo prices have risen so much in the past few months. Probably they expect us to stay with our in-laws. But I would rather not get married. I prefer "er ren shi jie" first.

Imagine we are trying for a baby and they come knocking on the door! Or they probably do something worse? Eg: Peeping in, listening, opening the door with their key....

How I hope a sweetie is able to tell me about HDB inside info about WIS! We (or probably it's just him) would love to have a new flat in AMK or somewhere near AMK. I would give you a big hug and treat (but he pays)...hehe
