The Emperor's New Clothes
At Salabiance, One Utama, I caught sight of a middle-aged aunty trying on a new dress. Polka-dotted with a flowery sash. And best of all, it had a big flare with some kind of underwire and lace at the hem. She was a petite woman and that dress managed to make her look like a blimp. It's magic! Doubtful at first, but after looking at herself in the mirror and getting more convincing comments from the saleswoman (she can really lie through her teeth), she bought it in the end. Such a scene repeats at the many hundreds of retail outlets in malls across the country. I for one don't need to buy any new clothes this year. It's a blessing really not needing to frantically join the shopping rush. Sitting in my wardrobe are several surviving new articles of clothing from 2010. A couple of T-shirts, one short sleeve shirt, one long sleeve shirt, one tank top and countless briefs and trunks (goes without saying kan?). The only thing lacking is shorts I guess. Nothing in red too. But then, I don't really need to buy any more clothes.
How was your pre-CNY shopping experience?

Why so gloomy?
I have noticed that many aunties like to wear colours that are not flattering.
