Soccer, Shopping

So happy. CT called me yesterday to jio me to play soccer. He said "eh, do you want to play soccer?" of course my answer was "yes! of course!". oh, and there was a weird thing about the timing. tho he said its 4pm, he asked me to be there at 4.30 instead. so typical, the guys always come at least half hour later than the supposed time.

anyway, i finally got to play soccer, after at least 10 months of inactivity.

"wah, nobody play in US ah?" he asked when i told him that.

i said "i played once la. after that didn't play already. everybody was too disinterested".

actually, i didn't really say that. that's the politically correct version. with CT, i said "after i played once i didn't feel like playing with them already". you draw your own inferences...

CT didn't play though. he arrived like 5.30 or 6, after we had played quite long and i was damn tired already. haha, then he decided not to play already because he thought its not worth it to sweat and dirty his clothes for just another half hour of soccer. so practical...

after that i met with my mum for dinner. and i went shopping - alone. i haven't shopped with my mum for like 10 years. besides, her taste ah, never changed since 10 years ago...

there was this 50% sale at G2000. wah shiok ah. then i saw in 8 days got another 10% discount coupon. wah win already. so i bought a lot a lot of clothes. a blazer, 3 shirts, and one pair of pants. the blazer was 200 la, but after discount (50% plus 10%), it became less than 100. wah shiok. total was 188 (yat faht faht) - in otherwords, i'll just keep getting good fortune! haha..

quite happy with my purchases... the blazer i have is a bit too big.. just a little wide on the shoulders and a little long. but then i bought it in the UK mah, pple there quite big sized... but here, wow, got this "modern cut" blazer that was supposedly cut to be closer to the body, giving it a "modern" look. i tried it on and it was PERFECT. like they said, "modern". hahaha.. funny thing though, it says size 44... i thought i'm like a 38... ahh, sizes are just too confusing.

As for the shirts, i asked the salesman "i don't know my size"

he said "whut? size?"

i said "yah, shirt size" (eh, don't think too much into sizes ok..)

he gave me a look and said "15 half"

so i tried 15half. it was ok la, but just a little too loose. so in the end i settled for 15. dunno what that translates into la, but i think its S, because the smallest size i saw was 14...

then i also wanted to buy some ties.. but the ties at G2000 were too... ah... how shall i say... old? so i went to topman. wah, the clothes damn sui la. really fashionable man. no joke. the blazers/shirts/pants/ties section was really fashionable... like what you'll wear if you go for oscar awards or some private party/function. i'm not very good with description la. i tried going online to look for some pics.. but sorry, seems like they don't sell a lot of clothes online.

ok, my point anyway, is that its too fashionable for me la. comeon, i'm the conservative guy that wears conservative clothes. i can't wear pink. i can't wear those fashionable shoes that hunn wears. I'll like to though; i really like the clothes. just that they prob won't suit me and i'll prob not wear them to the office.

i liked this brown/ retro coloured diagonally striped tie.... but after consideration, realised that it'll prob only match 1 of my shirts. and for 29 dollars, i decided against buying it. so yeah, i walked out of topman empty handed.

lu-en, will you buy me some ties? hahaha...
