Oops, I blogged again~
Feeling dead tired after lugging my laptop around, trying to hunt for the perfect gift for my buddy's birthday. Kind of reluctant to blog, but what the hell, how much harm can a teeny weeny entry do, right? *Grins*
Started off my hunt with burning enthusiasm that we can find THE perfect gift. 1 hour and 2 rounds around Jurong Point later, we concluded that JP is kind of small and lacking in nice shops. Why can't there be a shop that caters specially to gift hunters like us? I'm sure they will have great business. Well, they would have easily earned my money tonight anyway. I have forgotten the agony of shopping due to the lack of 'training' in this aspect. Anyway, few more rounds later, my friend came up with a lame idea, buying perfume. Thankfully it came out earlier than my lamer idea of buying a pen from Popular bookshop.
Hence, away we go to the Land of the many Scents. Inside the shop (a certain shop that sells perfume beside a shop that sell something intimate), the stench was overbearing. Allow me to explain why I had used the word stench.
Anyway, while my sense of smell was deteriorating by the minute in this outlet, my friend managed to pick out a nice smelling perfume from cK. How he did it, I really have no idea, but I really admired his great sense of smell despite the situation we are in. We paided and we got out, letting my nose recover by taking in the recycled, stale, air-conditioned breeze of our beloved JP. Then I started thinking, will he like the present we got for him? Did we just buy for the sake of buying?
I didn't say anything about what I thought to my friend at that moment, but I did hint to him that I really really *really* don't want to get perfume for my birthday present. Was it subtle enough? As for you all reading, don't worry, I will remind you guys again when my birthday is nearing~ Till then, better feed your piggy bank. ;P

2 or 3 types of perfume = fragrance
20 to 30 types of perfume = stench
(UNDERSTOOD??)
