I'm too lazy to think of one.

Probably it's because CNY is coming close I kind of went on a buying spree today at IMM. I bought 2 T-shirts and 1 pair of Levis (and almost bought a Polo and a pair of Shorts) in a short 2 hours. And that doesn't include picking up a T-shirt within 10 seconds upon entering the store. In fact, I'm wondering what got into me today. Hopefully I will not regret any of my purchases.

While shopping, I kept on thinking of a lot of queer things; one of which includes how the things that we define as "hip" changes with age. I remember I used to like Power Rangers, Matchbox toy cars, Pokemon and Bayblades a lot when I was young. Owning a new Bayblade is like the most awesome thing one can own at the age of 10. And of course, nothing beats the feeling of your Dranzer beating someone else's Dragoon. (If you've got no idea wth I'm talking about, I suggest you google it).

A few years later, they became Billabong, OP, Sony Erisson Walkman phones (and occasionally still Bayblades...omg). They were perhaps the most expensive things I could afford then I think. Billabong shirts were overpriced but I loved them. In fact, I've only one Billabong shirt and I've been wearing it since Secondary 1. Somehow it grows with me. Meanwhile, OP was the cheaper alternative. And I thought a Walkman phone was the coolest thing on Earth because it saves me the money on buying a phone and an mp3 player. Fortunately, I never got to own one.

Next comes the more expensive iPods, Macbook, Canon camera and lens, Roland Drumsets, queer attention seeking T-Shirts and Branded long sleeves shirts and Levis Jeans. Contrastingly to my primary and secondary school years, I own almost all of the above except the Macbook. (My mum would never allow me to buy a T-shirt above 20 bucks or a phone beyond "Free with new 21 months Singtel contract" previously). I think if I've never got into photography or drumming, I can enjoy an additional 5k in my bank account. Lol. Too bad I've expensive hobbies.

It's kind of interesting how our choices change as we grow up ain't it? From Pokemon to Walkman phones to the iPods. Although they're a lot more expensive, we're also given increasingly more freedom to buy them. Haha who knows, maybe I will collect branded watches next time. And maybe some limited edition guitars :P

Oh well, that's what I've been thinking about while shopping this evening. I think my multitasking skills are not bad. Rights. Time to sleep. Adios.
