Today I went to Lee Hwa...
Today, I went to buy a pair of earrings. I've been meaning to since one of my friends gave me more than 500 points on my Lee Hwa card!! I must publicly thank him for his great generosity! Thanks Jack!
It's been 4 months since I've been meaning to get new earrings. I had my eye on this pair of destinee earrings and probably went back 4 times to try on the same pair but each time I did not buy.
Today I went back again and spent about an hour in the shop. I brought my mom along lest she scolds me after the purchase (which frequently occurs, cos without her great wisdom, I her foolish daughter am incapable of making a good buy).
Anyway, halfway through, she commented that unlike her, who will just buy the first item that catches her eye, I literally compared every single pair of earrings I took a liking to. I browsed the entire shop firstly. Then I shortlisted them pair by pair and would have 2 pairs competing to be bought at any one point in time. Until I was down to final 2. Then I will make a comparison based on the brilliance, the price, the practicality (cos I was getting earrings for daily wear and I go to the gym almost every weekday, shouldn't buy too expensive ones).
I finally bought a pair of loop earrings which I thought were affordable, pretty and practical.
But apart from the purchase per se, I was just thinking, am I like that with every thing? Do I screen all that I can before making a choice? Am I always that prudent? I don't know and somehow I don't think so. When I see a dress, I'd just get it if it fits and I like it. But maybe that's cos it's usually alot cheaper. So does that mean when it comes to choosing a husband I will wanna screen the whole world and consequently die a spinster? Does it have to do with the fact that where important things are concerned, it is difficult for something to be good enough for me?
How did a trip to Lee Hwa result in so many questions? I sometimes wish I was a simpler person - like my mother. :-)
