Fartier

Was somewhere near my friend’s house yesterday and she told me to come on down and shoot the breeze. I said OK.

I’ve known her probably for 20 years and her bf used to pick me up before we picked her up and then I would show them bachata moves I learnt in class. Haha what the hell!! I laugh when I think about these things!! I tried salsa but it was too fast for me so I switched to bachata which I enjoyed a lot.

Anyway!

Because we have been collecting common acquaintances over the years we would talk about them if we remember something. But hold up okay. I think I am usually direct when I talk. If I fucked up I would apologise. If I didn’t apologise it just meant I didn’t think I fucked up lah. So what I say behind your back I most likely am able to say to your face. If I don’t think I should say something I just don’t say it and take the high road. And I don’t stir shit regardless clockwise anticlockwise because I believe we are all doing our best and if others have flaws, we do, too so please don’t be a dick unnecessarily.

One guy we know used to post his fluxury goods (just means fake lux) on social media and we would giggle like morons when we took screenshots. I am sure I still have that one photo when he tried to prove the product was genuine.

Maybe you are not aware so as your big sis let me tell you when you buy and pay for genuine luxury (cough) products at the store they’re not gonna give you an ugly receipt (certainly not one with typos such as ‘signatued by’) or an ugly box or an ugly paper bag. Most of the time they will ask if you would like the standard paper bag they give out throughout the year or the seasonal one.. as a customer (oops, client) it’s up to you lah what you choose. And why would you pay thousands of dollars for something short of fantastic? I’m sure there are more difficult customers than I. I usually don’t take the box because I need to stuff it in my Adidas backpack hehe. Not gonna walk around carrying these brands’ paper bags! I think I’ve only taken boxes for wallets and evening bags.. otherwise no. Then you have stuff you buy for fun and personal use because they have absolutely no resale value. That’s another lesson for another day.

I am an ordinary person. I don’t really care for luxury products though I like a few nice things. I also like fonts, looking at brands (more like what they do at their maisons/houses but it’s really just for my entertainment). If I see your fake stuff I will screenshot and send to my friends so we can laugh then I will see you in a different light. What are you trying to prove? That you really cannot afford it? Or that you’re so rich you can buy replicas of a different grade? Eh never mind I see y’all’s boxes I also laugh la.. maybe the printer at Hermes spoilt eh? We can tell lah. I think one can still be classy by choosing a well-made product that is affordable.. that one enjoys wearing or using, instead of buying a fake version of something.

But whatever it is, do what makes you happy la eh.
