Show and tell

Went out with Wil Liam, Simone, Leon, Sate, Jyh Min and Ee Wei to 1U to catch a movie and hang out after class. Managed to catch the show 'Wild Hogs' which was a really good comedy. The ending was a tad predictable (happy endings seem to be the prevailent choice for comedies) but it was really enjoyable and I was laughing my head off every few minutes.

As I had resoluted the night before not to go shopping, the guys deliberately dangled temptation infront of my eyes and had great fun trying to tempt me to go shopping.

In front of Topshop...
Guys : Look, Siew Yen. Its Topshop. Discounts! Come, lets go in.
Me : Nope, you guys can go on ahead but I'm not stepping foot into there. (I turn my back on Topshop and lo behold, right in front of my eyes is Miss Selfridge with huge 50% and 70% signs along with season clearance sale signs. Oh, woe is me. Why did I chose to stand here?!)
Leon : Well, I'm going in. *saunters casually into Topshop*
Sate & Ee Wei : Oh look, Miss Selfridge is on sale! C'mon Siew Yen, lets go see. *slowly walks over to Selfridge*
Me : I am so not moving from this spot! Grr!

As Simone and Wil Liam reappear from the depths of Topshop and head towards Selfdridge, I have no choice but to follow them. As I stand outside Selfridge, the guys continue to entice me by repeating the discounts and pointing out to me that next to Selfridge is Warehouse which happens to have some rather nice things also have discount signs.

Outside Selfridge...
Sate : Siew Yen, they have 70% discounts. Now, if a top normally had a price tag of RM100, with the discount you can get it for 30 bucks. Think of how much money you'll be saving. And if the item is originally RM200, you can get it for...
Ee Wei : RM60! See, you'll get to save money. And if its RM300...
Me : No, thanks. *smiles nonchalantly but mentally calculates how much I'd save*
And I swiftly remind myself that I'd save even more money if I didn't buy a single thing.
Leon : You sure you don't wanna check out Warehouse? Its got those lovely clothes with the lovely material and cutting and the...
Me : Lalala. I can't hear anything. Did you say something? *smiles triumphantly*

I triumphed in the face of adversity! But I've a feeling that I'll be walking into Warehouse and Miss Selfridge if I happen to be in 1U tomorrow. Sigh...its not easy resisting the beckoning temptation that lurks in every corner, waiting and biding their time to pounce on me!
