Buying Behaviour

The deejays on a local radio were discussing about shopping behaviours and many ladies called in to say that if they spotted something they liked, they would not rest until they bought it, no matter if it is practical.

Most people I shop with almost always come away with a purchase and they, in turn, would be frustrated that I did not get anything even though we might be shopping for the entire day. Which is why I haven't really shopped for some time now, only when I urgently need to replace my pair of boots for work and that was some time in June. And I haven't shopped with any of my girlfriends for AGES because of my embarrassment of my indecision of buying the item which I really want in the first place.

For example, I know I've been talking about wanting to get a new handphone since my current one acts up every week or so, with it's blank screen. So I've identified a Sony Ericsson that I am keen on. Market price is RM830 and it is being phased out since it's an old model. What am I waiting for? I'm still weighing the pros and cons.

From an outsider point of view, I'd be telling myself, "Get it already and stop debating on whether it's THE phone for you. It's just a dang phone!". Ok, ok! Soon....

Thank goodness KS is used to my bad habit and ignores me.

I still find it SO odd that you guys wear boots in Asia? Don't you get hot? The minute it starts getting warm, we're so done with our boots....

I have some unpredictable moods when it comes to shopping. It's seasonal by the way. And I really do not know how to explain this.
