time to tune on the No-Buying mode/mood
because:
- I am left with 1/3 of pocket money
- even though the journey is not even half way yet
- not sure if my luggage is going to fit them all
- and my luggage allowance is only 23 kg
these are the hard times
so many things I really feel like buying
but have to stand firm and say no to them
first thing first
why I ended up doing marketing survey
on a Monday
actually the folks have left for
adidas headquarter at Stockport
the Virgin train ticket is 100 Pounds
therefore half decided not to go
and stayed back in London
see
I am good enough to stay back
despite being an adidas folk
(but as a matter of facts,
I buy everything from Puma to iPanema
the design matters more)
despite the promise that
there would be adidas goods going at 70% off
at the HQ
and some are even not out in the market yet
so the supposedly going to campus as usual folk
turned out to be less than ten
going on a London day-trip
from Hyde Park, Chinatown,
Covent Garden and Westminster
damn.. if we knew the schedule is like this
should not have come to these places
yesterday morning (Sunday), in the rain
we ended up at Trafalgar Square
and walked up to Leicester Square
here we are
which houses quite a few famous Theatre houses
and Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum
and finally found M&M’s World London
which turned out to be just alright
I stayed sound and sober
never going crazy over anything, really
oh man
you must be kidding me
but probably I was partly turned off
by the price tags too
and practically everything I flipped around
is Made in China
not to criticize their goods
not even the on sales baby blue tee
going at nine Pounds
nay.. I am not buying anything today
then into Cool Britannia
there are tonnes of souvenir stores around London
but prices could be quite difference
just survey the road-side open air booths
before buying anything
I am the only weirdo
who never seem to have to buy any souvenirs
where ever I go to
ha.. nice
all I have to do is to take care of myself
and buy toys, toys and more toys
oh my,
whole shelf of Paddington bears
and I really like the one in blue coat and rain boots
25 pounds each… (for the small one)
forget it, I don’t even have the luggage space
Lillywhites
a 6 storeys tall Sports Direct
can imagine how much they have got to offer
it’s a weird thing
I always bumping into something of the same kind
during one single trip or one particular shopping season
one, two, three
one: never own any Neo Label
two: it’s Puma Junior
three: never own any Lee Cooper too
all three: I do not have any baby blue sneakers
as I mentioned before
in Sports Direct there are actually the
non-sporty casual street wears
just that they are always hidden
always look up and around
this is going for seven Pounds
okay fine
after a long struggle
seemed that everyone has got their own loots
from the respective stores
except me
ZERO LOOTS for the day
woohoo
because
this is supposed to be an academic visit,
am I right?
