Bag, games and relationship!

I had just met up with a friend of mine whom I have not meet up for months.

We still keep in contact even though we did not meet up and during which she was telling me how bad she was feeling and how someone made her so angry, so sad... Someone who just fed her with so many different emotions and feelings at once.

I still remembered the time she told me that she is not actively looking for a relationship and I didn't know that she was in one. She didn't want to say it over the phone as she prefer to say it personally.

That got me thinking, why must one be in a relationship with the other person just to find out whether are they compatible or not? Why not during the courting stage? Was it because during the courtship, everything was perfect? That one is able to overlook the other's disability during the honeymoon period? Or they are willing to go all the way of being the nice person instead of showing how they're really like during the courtship? That's why after the two are in a relationship, it means they can stop pretending who they are not and start showing their 'real' self. That also mean the 'real' problems will start surfacing and that is the test of their relationship. How much can each one withstand the truth of the other half and how much are they willing to tolerate each other.

Why can't the courtship be longer? To know one another better before entering a relationship? Is it because one doesn't know how long does the other take to accept and would like to move on to the next person? And the recipient doesn't know how long the other is willing to wait for them to decide hence accept the offer?

Sounds like one is debating whether to purchase the item that they have been waiting for so long. If they wait for the price to drop or for more reviews on the item then buy if there are a lot of positive reviews? However the longer they wait, there is a chance the item may be gone for good but if they buy to secure the item then to read that there are many poor reviews, then it's either you sell it or you just accept it and keep it - that is being positive about the item that others reject.

Sometimes I wish things could be much simpler. Love is love. There is no lies, no secrets, no hate, no betrayal, no 'not being serious' or 'I'm just toying with you only' kind of love. No 'I love you but I love another as well'.

Anyway I think one should give a second thought when they wish to just play with another innocent person's feelings especially when they are taking away the other's first time of everything - first relationship, first kiss, first date, etc. they ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Anyway I went high and low looking for a nice bag to bring with me for my trip to Bangkok this Friday. I had Porter in mind and first thing was to the outlet at Wisma Atria. The staffs seemed reluctant to attend to me, maybe because I was dressed quite shabbily? Like a backpack - it's Herschel ok!, a pair of Havaianas flip flops, a pair of shorts and a tee. I didn't bring spare clothes with me when I stayed over at my mom's. It was only until I reached out to take a bag then one of them came to me. It was a bad vibe already. Anyway they did not have what I want and so I just left the shop. Went to Isetan to take a look, scoured Takashimaya for Kate Spade (they are having sales up to 50% off. Pity they do not have stock for my baby bag. I love their baby bag for it is big and nice!), some other outlets and ended out leaving the place empty handed.

Returned to ION and tried the Kate Spade outlet there and was disappoints again. Next door was Agnis b. The lady staff was extremely helpful, she showed me a lot of bags and I really want to buy one from her because of her good service. Unfortunately I did not because the bags that caught my eye couldn't fit my iPad. :(
The service I received from her was the total opposite from the one at Porter, Wisma Atria.

I didn't want to return to Porter at Wisma and so I searched online for other outlets and found one at TANGS! The service was a lot better than Wisma too! Why huh? The guy was extremely helpful and showed me some bags that fit my requirement and told me how new, what they had, etc. only thing is.... The bag that I like was the last piece and that's the display set. The guy's colleague told me that she had placed it on display just today only, which maybe she's telling the truth, maybe she's lying just to 'assure' me. Anyway the last piece had a minor defect. The threads came off a little by the side of a small pocket which I could just sent it back for servicing since it is under a 6 months warranty. I will take a picture of it another day. Just too lazy to unwrap it from the wrapper.

So when I got home, I realized that I'm going to Bangkok and I should have just bring my old Adidas bag instead of my brand new bag! That's when I really feel like hitting my head. I just did an impulsive purchase while forgetting where am I going to. I just need a new bag that's all and I can always buy it later. Sigh.

My only consolation was I managed to buy Dragon Age Inquisition on Xbox 360 (to balance the world and to carry forward what was left behind in DA II. Like the king of Ferelden, etc) and Assassin Creed Unity on PS4! I can't play them yet because I will be leaving for Bangkok on Friday and tomorrow is quality time with my mom and dajie with two cute nephews! Sad sad sad!!

Unfortunately there is no stock for Lego Batman Beyond Gotham. My lego video games are all in a mixture of Xbox 360, PS3 & 4. Not uniform in terms of platform, my trophies and achievements are everywhere!
