Shopping..huh me?

Money can’t buy you happiness. Oh yeah! You may say and shoot a rejoinder that who ever made that statement didn’t know where to shop. Sounds perfect sense to me. But to me shopping aint no cake walk.

Shopping or shop hopping, whatever, is simply not my cup of tea. Whenever people ask me to come along shopping, I find it very hard to suppress that uneasy frowning on my face. Well I somehow manage to. I mentally prepare for a criminal wastage of a cool two or three hours. Believe me, I am not even an ounce helpful when it comes to making a choice, let alone for myself, but to others as well. When somebody asks me, what do you think of this, I give this ‘well, hmm…long pause…actually…longer pause’ and finally throw up my arms ‘well its your choice…whatever you like’. And bingo, that’s what they expect, cause the decision is already made and its just for courtesy sake they ask. That’s what even I think, they say, I think I will go for this one. Well did I say anything?

And when I got that gift voucher from a mall that promised the bearer anything worth five hundred bucks, I was left more perplexed than ever in the mall. Trying to buy something which I hardly had any idea about, I roamed all the time just gazing around. After a close to two hour loafing around (cant actually call it criminal wastage, cause there were a lot of chicks around to letch at) I decided to call it a day. Came home with nothing.

Money cant buy you happiness, gift vouchers wont either.
