The Skirt with A Long Journey

passed by this shop

at least 5 times a day

all the clothes are very lala, ah lianz

even the shop name

Cute Girl Collection

… OMG…

*

whenever i passed by

what was in my mind was

who will buy clothes like that

till recently whole shops going on sales

all rm 25

but it didn’t change my mindset

towards this shop

*

till the very very recent

i guess yesterday

they suddenly put up a rm15 corner

right outside the shop

but still i wasn’t tempted

because the clothes are just

not my cup of tea

*

but everyday passed by so many times

my eyes wandering around as usual

and caught sight of a blouse

pink, with heart shapes all over

erm.. not bad

so for the 2 rounds to walk by

i gave it a fond scan

*

then here came the trap

at 8.30 pm while i went to

throw the dirty water

saw another jumper skirt right beside

oh my it was so cute

my mind was so busy

running to and fro

between to buy or not to buy

*

here’s the monologue

i had within myself

while spending the next 20 mins

washing stuffs in the toilet

*

Yes you should buy it

it’s cheap

*

No this is always your excuse

but do you wear all the cheap clothes you bought?

*

Yes because you can create new look

mix and match it with plain tank top, sailor like..

or maybe your new Polo shirt

*

No it wouldn’t last that long

how often do you wear a shirt

it is better to buy pants

*

Yes it’s so unique

so many pants you own

so few skirts

*

No i am going Mid Valley tomorrow

who knows i will shop there

*

Yes that’s why you should buy

after you shop today

tomorrow you will feel restrained

*

No i shall wait till

i m back on Sunday

*

Yes rm 15 is for sure a last piece

what if it is already not there

*

No i will still wait

and see the fate between me and her

whether she is predestined to be mine

*

Yes the design is so unique

stripy jumper skirt

putting aside the jumper design

you don’t own any stripy skirt, do you?

*

No i don’t have any money

left with less than rm10

*

Yes you can always go to the ATM

it’s just in front

*

No no matter how much i took out

i spent them all

*

this is such a hard decision to make

in the first time in my life

for a rm 15 skirt

if it was last time

i would have bought

within a blink of eyes

*

back there

i wiped and installed everything

with the speed of thunderbolt

usually i just took my own sweet time

because i hate to hang around doing nothing

while the other dear colleague of mine

is always sitting comfortably, FB-ing

*

so done…

10 more mins to do the next task on the list

took out my purse

stared at the Atm card

wait.. i saw two rm 5 notes

so i may have enough money

without going to the bank at all

*

let fate to decide

the destiny of this skirt

dug out all the rm 1

darn… there were only 4

dug out all the coins

yeah… finally

there were enough

*

so here i went

carrying along the rm 15

with only rm 0.65 left

in my purse

so many receipts

no money at all

*

tried out the skirt

yeah it fitted me

there were other customers in the shop

there’s no one to be the cashier

but it was time for me to go back

walao.. Cinderella meh

9.35pm is the time to keep the gelato

*

so i told the girl

“i going back to work first

come back again later

after i finish work”

*

“what time”

*

“9.45”

*

“ok, i will wait for you”

*

so i went after work

late a bit. 9.50pm

she already packed up the clothes

*

just dug out all the money

and handed to her

pretending to say

“sorry, i have lots small changes

if you don’t mind… ””

*

so she landed safely in my wardrobe

left me a penniless girl

*

finally tomorrow is the day

a day off from work

and the day for KHALIL FONG

unbelievable…

just hope that i don’t shop at alli

i am still in repentance

for what i did last summer

*
