Retail Therapy

The doctor's prescription was easy - Retail Therapy.

"It would really help to loosen you up before school starts, plus you get some nice stuff in return," the doctor said, except that in this case, I am the Doctor.

So yeah, I wanted to shop. Compelling reasons like "It's the Post-Christmas sale now!" or "Clearance Sale!" basically fuel the desire for anyone to walk around shopping malls fondling clothes or stuff that you always wanted to own but didn't have enough money for them. With such slash-down sales, you get a feeling that you for once might really be able to own that pair of Jeans or dress without too much of a damage to your bank account.

What better place to start than our beloved Vivocity? The sprawling complex at the south of Singapore boasts of several accomplishments, like being the biggest and the meanest of all the shopping malls in town, having the largest cineplexes around etc. Basically, Vivocity is the newest, and one of the more extensive complexes to hit the shores. The stores within are pretty much the same, except for some which have rose from being merely flagship stores in their own area to franchised stores, like Candy Empire or Crocs.

However, there are some stores which caught my attention though.

I don't like walking around aimlessly with nothing that impresses me; I shop with pretty much the intention of "hit and run". If something impresses me or captures my attention for a full five minutes, chances are that I would buy it if it is within my budget.

Still, I am quite a prick in the ass when it comes to shopping.

That explains why only a few shops appeal to me in Vivocity (not it's not the Cineplex). One of them is Pull and Bear, located on level 1. Check out their website; it is kick-ass. I am not surprised to see that it is actually under the same corporation as Zara.

Simply putting it, shopping is an experience. And your sense of fashion and beauty can only get more acute with the more experience you gain. And when you become a guru in your own right, you will realize the satisfaction that comes from shopping and not the weight of the shopping bags.

I'll leave you with a nice song for now - Keyshia Cole's Love. Just play it and lie down. Enjoy.
