Friday went out with Yue Ming. He wanted to buy a new pair of shoes so I accompanied him everywhere to search for one. First we went to Great World ate lunch there then to World of Sports but couldn't find anything nice. Then headed to vivocity the two big Adidas and Nike shops. Again there was nothing that suited his budget. So we decided to try out Queensway. There were many choices there but he wanted those casual adidas kind that the usual price was $122. The futsal shoes were like much less below 70 which suited his budget but he insisted on the more expensive kind. So we went around looking for a pair which cost below 70. There were some. But he didn't want because they were the more outdated designs. The way I see it, its like going to buy a Ferrari with only $300,000 and obviously is not enough. So one day, somebody sells you an old 1990 Ferrari for only $200,000, but you say no, because its an old model. So there I was following him around. Then we kept seeing a design that he liked but it was $122. Then finally we saw a $69 one but it was a older design. Then he didn't want so kept going around. And we went back to all the shops we searched. So finally like after one and a half hours he saw one which was discounted all the way down to $76. But he only had 70. Then he was like excuse me, 69 dollars can or not? Then the shop person was like nonononono discount a lot already! Don't try to be funny shout one funny number at me! Then he said the least he could sell is 74 so obviously he had to borrow again and we agreed on 74. And then Yue Ming said he wanted half a size bigger so can wear longer. Then the sales assistant was like "what kind of logic is that? You very funny you know first say want $69 then now say bigger size wear longer... who teach you one! Then you buy size 12 and wear very long is it?" I was just standing there laughing damn hard at all the crap between the two of them. So like basically the whole afternoon we were shopping for shoes and after like many hours he finally got something.
The exams are drawing near and the pressure is starting to come. But the worst thing is that I just don't seem to be able to study efficiently. Everytime I sit at the table for hours and daydream so nothing goes into my head. Just hope that some motivation will come in time before the exams.
I want to recommend you all to read a very well-written story. http://www.goodybooks.com/ibelieveyou.htm Shawn Koh told me about it. No regrets at all about reading this one. Its a love story. The style is average and the vocabulary isn't that advanced. But even though it's a singaporean writer the grammar is accurate. The best thing about the story is the plot and storyline. It's damn good. The surprises and twists are very nice. The theme is perserverance. It's definitely worth the time to read. Honestly.
