war torn area
i went to the mango sale & came out empty handed. i actually had a nice pair of culottes, nice thin cotton material & a couplea skirts. but as i got in line to pay. i noticed a few other OLDER women holding the same items. hmM. *raised eyebrow* then i thought about what if i ever ended up at the same place as some other woman, in the same culottes or top or anything. *shudder* so i decided to do everyone a favour and put the things back where i found them. & walk out. i swear i heard a crescendo of sighs of relief as i exited the queue. i also thought i saw a couplea raised eyebrows that a female seemed to be walking out of the sale empty handed..oh well.
another thing. mango sales are great for psychologists to do studies at i reckon. seriously. i stepped in there & it seemed like past the threshold of those make shift doors, all the women 'senses' are heightened. if men thought women were scary on a normal daily basis. wait till they go into a mango sale. women are extra territorial - the way they guard their stack of clothes, shelves, racks, could put the gurkhas to shame. protective/defensive - dont even think of glancing their way. let them think you're eyeing their stacks & you're finished. we dont need NS to teach us self defense!! *pffft* patient - look at the queues to get in, to pay to try the clothes on; 'nuff said. forgiving - trample on their toes, shove abit and they might begin to curse or stare, but the moment their eye catches something vaguely attractive all is forgotten :) add resilient to the list. singaporean women rise to the occasion. if ever they cant find jobs in CBD area, send them to train with the cirque de soleil - have you seen the contortionist acts these women get up to when they attempt to change in public? no easy feat i'll tell you. the mathematician in all singaporean women materializes come mango sale. loiter around some of these women, listen to the way they churn out the price of their clothes after discount. haha. amazing!!!
singaporean women applaud yourselves. ¶ 1:45 PM
