GSS: The Return of the Great Singapore Shark (i mean sales)

Sales sales sales everywhere... Darn.
Sorry about not continuing my promised blog of travel (who m i promising to anyway?) but i can't help but divert the whole theme into the GSS: Great Singapore Sale.

The top-selling newspaper I Want to Mind Your Business reports:
Upon the arrival of the GSS, Girls all over the country have been sighted sharpening their nails, honing their dash-speed, practicing their pulling skills, all to get ready for a Sales-Sighting-Bargain-Buying Spree.
An exclusive interview with our world-famous GSS analyst, Jamien Tanner promptly informs the people of Singapore to prepare themselves for a hell of a GSC (Great Singapore Catfight), in honour of the GSS.
She quotes:
"What's happening here is a phenomenon. People from all over the world should read about this. We should be thankful for this aggressive energy from the 'lesser sex'. With this stupendous craze going on, Sales are being made, estimation of at least 50-100 sales of goods per second. Goods regardless of whether they are good or bad. The women takes them all, due to the mystical effect of the word 'sales' hanging at the entrance of the shops.This way, all those unwanted goods that are obsolete and would end up undeservingly in the rubbish chute for recycle, can all be saved and all will be well again.. Reports of shops throwing the unwanted into the sea and other places would be greatly reduced. Help Save the Earth. Pollution be gone.. Let us all rejoice. Let us all hail to the God of Sales!! To clear the shops of the unwanted goods. To clear space for the Newer goods to arrive!! Hail to the God of Sales!!!"

okok.. so i admit. this is a whole load of bull tt i have juz planted right smack in this blog of mine. But I was trying to prove a point. (to nobody, since nobody reads this blog. *guffaws*)
Sales is undescribably the both good and bad essence required by the female human being. actually, both female n male needs it. juz tt the female tends to have an enhanced version.

For an example of the bad essence in Sales:

I went out with Marc Boi last nite, was totally uninterested in the surroundings as we were strolling along the stretch of orchard boulevard, nothing tt we haven not seen before. but the evil sales took effect when I happen to tilt my head to the left and saw IT.
The word SALES evolved as it hit me.
I dragged my poor boyfren into the store n started foraging for good bargains within the tiny store. I nvr realised tat I still haven't had the resistence to Sales.
Anyways, saw the my favourite tees, a couple of my fave colours and I was blown away. Tried on, was ok i think, tried to calm myself down n think. The storekeeper announced the closing time, and the store was frantically in chaos. Everyone else pulling and grabbing watever they can n go pay. My bored-to-tears boyfren glared at me n the 2 tees i was holding tightly onto. I anxiously glanced at the price. 14->10. No more time to think. The storekeeper glared at me n looked at her watch. ok. buy.
i bought those 2 tees n once at home, went about trying them on. shit. i spotted a few similar tees hiding in the dark corner of my wardrobe. ARGH. juz as i suspected. i bought the same thing juz 1 mth back. -_-

Yes. Above is 1 harmful effect of the Sales. Such power was over me as it dragged me into the store, to even contemplate buying things tt i already have or dun require.

But the good only comes into effect, when u spot the thing tt u had been eyeing for months and haven got it cos it was too bloody expensive, now in a sale right before your eyes. But the sale effect can turn into bad in mere margins, if it happens so to have the thing u wan in a different color or size or any other differences.
So to u all bargain-hunters preparing for action in the GSS.
Beware.

Well, to speak of the male instinct in sales, it normally only happens when in the technology dept. Electronics, gadgets, cars.... u get the picture. Enuf said. I shall state an example with my boyfren who in fact is so typical as a gadget-loving guy.

We happen to walk past this stupid booth in orchard with flyers of offers for Digital Cam, n Marc couldn't ignore it n we ended up in Best Denki to check things out. HAIZ. Tat was it. No further elaboration needed. He bought it. He's happy. N broke.

The things tat Sale makes us all succumb to.

Now tt my pay is here again. Will have to guard my purse well... Amidst the everlasting sale season.....
