My Shopping Experience

This is my third entry for tonight. J

I’ve been wanting to buy a bag ever since I came here in Singapore. A bag that I can use whenever I wanted to go the gym, or play badminton or something that I could use during a short travel. On top of that, I should really like it for the first time I’ll see it and the price must be right. Well, those are my criteria for this one hell of a bag. Arm with these conditions, I went from different malls hunting for this specific bag. There was even one time that I thought I’ve found it cause I really like it during the first time I saw it but when I noticed the price I immediately know that this particular bag wasn’t right.

I’ve continued my search by going from one store to another and then one day, on that particular rainy day – I found the bag I was looking for. The color matches the shape combined with the strap that flawlessly knitted at both ends. With astonishing facade and reasonable price, I don’t have any doubts in mind that this is the right one. It perfectly fits the criteria that I’m looking for. Unfortunately, I don’t have an extra budget that time so I need to wait for a month before I can buy that bag. After a month or so, I already have the cash so I even asked a friend of mine to accompany me in buying it. To make sure there’s no damage or anything, I inspected that bag before paying. But to may dismay, when I opened that astonishing bag, I’ve found out that it was a laptop bag! The spacious bag that I was expecting was divided with so many compartments making it unreasonable to buy. I went home quite depressed and empty handed that day. Yes, I expected too much that’s why. *sigh*.

Days and weeks passes by but I can’t find something that can amused me the same way as the one I described above. And then I made a decision, I will buy that bag – I need it because I like it and not the other way around. I don’t need any other reason and who cares about those criteria, the important thing is I like it that’s why I need it. On that day, I bought that supposedly amazing bag. When I was already home, I inspected the bag again and to my surprise the divider that makes the bag pint-sized and the reason that I backed-off before is detachable! After removing the divider, it then becomes the spacious and perfect bag that I want.

Well, I just hope and pray that one day I can have the same courage to the one I love.
