Er, how do i start my blog today?! i actually got this idea while shopping with the boyfriend yesterday !
I admit that I am a person who looks into brands when it comes to buying stuff, regardless of what product it is . Here are a few examples :
- Bags - LV/Dior/Gucci/Fendi/Burberry vs Pasar Malam/brandless/imitations
- Clothings - Whatever brand vs those brand-less ones
- Make up Products - Stilla/Benefit/Estee Lauder vs unknown brands
- Food- Gardenia vs no brand bread ( but those brand-less hainanese bread loafs are good! haha)
- Shoes - this one i got not much preference because i normally get cheap shoes either from Vincci/Primavera or even Mont Kiara!! i hardly buy expensive shoes !! except for sport shoes or walking shoes!! those i’ll buy those with brand - Reebok/Nike/Puma/Converse/Addidas
- Laptop- of course get branded one lar.. for their warranty ma!! i won’t go on ebay to bid one brandless self assembled laptop!
- Car- yes , brand is important- it represent your status!! this is very very important !!
- yes , even my luggage got brand!Benetton! haha… not those fake polo luggage, this is original okie??
- even buying a drink! as simple as i trust YEOS better than Drinho
- My younger sister favors Meiji(Japanese brand) biscuits over the Panda brand from Korea
- Petrol!! i got no preference in this but according to older sister, a specific brand is better because it has more POWER!! haahah i don’t know , don’t ask me , as long as my car is full and he is willing to move, I’m happy !!
see? it seems like i am very money minded right? yeah i admit i am !! when i get a boyfriend, one of the criteria i look into is whether they are wealthy or not!! not that they must be multi millionaires but they must be at least average to be able to give the family a comfy home with good education!! i cannot imagine dating a guy whom doesn’t even have enough money to keep his tummy full!!! then how are we going to go out? by bus( er, if he cannot even fill his tummy , u think he got money to take bus ?) ? or makan at those mamak everyday ??( roti kosong, air kosong?) or cannot even buy me a movie or something to cheer me up? ( well, things that he buys to cheer me up can be as simple as an ice cream!!) ** haha just like the other day that honey offered to get me a nice dessert, i know he wants to eat as well, but i’m not into it ! so i didn’t order as he knows he cannot finish so in the end we didn’t order anything , just had a good chat! see? even a good chat i take it as a offer from him! 
***
and all this while i didn’t experience myself personally that Singaporean actually care about brands that badly !! until i came!!! everyone here carries a branded bag!! ask around i think even young kids carry expensive bags, wear expensive clothings!! see the kids here- Samsonite bag, Gap/Osh Kosh /Guess clothings!! hahah Go back to Malaysia , u see our kids ( some! not all) wear those cheap cheap clothings like kampung boys/girls and carry those pasar malam bags and wear pasar malam watches!!! see my landlady’s 4 years old girl- she plays with a REAL LAPTOP okie??? and she already DAMAGED ONE , this is her 2nd one!! can u imagine!!! People here spend a lot on their kids!! also on themselves!!the difference between she and my cousin! my lil’ cousin back at home doesn’t even have a toy laptop to play with !! ( eeks.. why is this relevant? all i want to say is that kids in Singapore are more exposed to high tech stuff and branded goods!!)
See?! when i met the bf a year ago , i find him really humble, from a rich family ( i cannot deny the fact that he is pretty rich compare to other Singaporeans but not his money lar..his parents’) . i didn’t realise that he is very brand minded too!! until recently , maybe he is affected by the Singaporean culture since he started working…. now when we go shopping, he’ll look into BRANDS!!! and trust me !! those brands that he look into are those expensive ones ok?!!? Massino Dutti ,Ted Baker clothings, Banana Republic, Guess, Raoul, Ralph Lauren , Lacoste, Zara( this one quite cheap lar) and u know what he said ??? Guess , Raoul, Zara, Esprit are like Giordano!!! means cheap and meant for the public lar!! he wants to be unique!!!! he doesn’t want to wear the same clothings as other when he walk out the street!! but … since when guys are so particular about this ???even his gf here didn’t complain much ! maybe because girls can mix and match with loads of other accessories … so we won’t look exactly the same even with the same outfit i suppose… also , he had banned Topman , G2000 and Giordano from his list!!he wasn’t like this last time okie ??Sigh … and yesterday in the MRT, this ah Beng was wearing a white shirt that we both saw in the shop and think that it is quite nice, but when bf sees the Ah Beng ” no, i’m not going to buy that shirt anymore! see? i told u Zara is like giordano, thank god i didn’t buy! he cannot carry the shirt lar..see ?! so ah beng!! and look at the gf, fail fail fail!!” alamak, i can’t beleive it that he said those words!! come on , then he must be thinking my dressing something wrong also la? haha but the ah Beng’s gf is really off lar.. i dunno what kind of style she wants to imitate but ..very ugly la!!”
so is brand really so important ? i think it is !! what do u think ?? but i suppose we should not over do it!! 
overdoing it will simply kill ourselves!! really !! i think I’m abit over boarding because i haven’t start working and i already plan what to buy using my first pay ! I’m going to use them all up to buy bags!! and buy my dear ones dinner!
As the for bf , though he wants branded stuff .. but he knows his limits!! see ? we look at yesterday’s outfit okie ? RL polo-t , i dunno what jeans , feels like Guess, Puma/Addidas shoes, Agnes.B key Chain, White Gold chain( forced to wear by his mummy) , Braun Buffel Wallet, Big Big Diamond ring!! bigger than mine okie ?? that’s why ppl always think he is either married or engaged!! wahhaha… good lar.. no girls will go near him!! ( ahha and he has this habit of wearing my ring nicely for me everytime he holds my hands , i find it sweet ! :>) , i don’t know what socks and boxers he wore but i know his boxers are also branded ones!! haha .. socks maybe just cheap ones but also got brand one( i wear pasar malam socks! haha) !!! haha
Compare to me , yesterday i wore a Naf Naf top, with a Black shorts and high heels from Vincci, a Swarovski long chain , White gold and diamond Earings, bracelet, ring ( all these stuffs, i wear daily), Make up , Braun Buffel Wallet and my LV bag ! that’s all !! see.. I’m so humble compare to him right? hahah, of course my undergarments are from Triumph! which is not branded also la !
so , can u imagine both of us walking together ? I’m like a kampung girl and he is like a city boy ? or do u think weok compatible ? lo hahaha… i really don’t know! but i like it when he carries my LV bag !! he looks like those “HAO NAN REN” ( nice man) that cares alot for their wives! but because i non stop teasing him, he ended up not wanting to carry my bag !! heheh , but later on , he carried again! cos i’m tired! heheeh ….
u seee? when i bring my bags,people might think it is fake , because of my age and i don’t look rich! hahaha.. i look poor indeed!! u know , last time i used to drive my dad’s e-class out ! people always look at me, and think that i am a prostitute or something la!! u know those ham sup ah pek will stare at u ?? then those ladies will think in their heart ” har.. sure all her money is from men !” ekks… i hate those people u know?!
ohh .. another important thing!!! CREDIT CARDS!! i used to have many … i think 4 cards! haha…. shhhh…. but the bf only has 1 debit card !! because he told me ” i don’t need them! it is useless to me!debit card is good enough in Singapore” but now … hahah.. look at his wallet!! he has like 3 platinum cards ok????? now i am also left with 3 platinum only .. and 2 debit cards.. see?! a man can change so much!
maybe his next target will be to buy a house!! hahah … i think he’ll want a house before a car!! majortiy of Sporean’s thinking is that they need a car!! to show off mar!!! haha .. but bf is more practical, he wants a house more than a car ( remember? he rejected a car from his dad, a Camry , new one ok? not the old old camry)but i think he looks cool in this new Honda Civic/City i don’t know … hahah …. really i don’t remember how his car looks like!! i just walk blindly to the car by following his footsteps !!
for me … i am different !! i got a car even before i got my license ! then i got 2 credit cards immediately … then slowly expand and reduce a bit also ( cos some bank companies are annoying! ahhaha .. and cut off after 2 years since they do not waive the annual fees ! hehe) ..so i took things for granted!! never have i appreciated all these!!
haihs… but after gotten together with bf , he teaches me what to save on and what is essential to use! he never WASTE!! but … heheh isn’t buying his luxury goods a waste too ? but … haihs he earns so he can pamper himself!!! i haven;t earn but i’ve already learnt how to waste! hahahaah ….
sorry for such a draggy and long ngam ngam cham cham post! let me know what do u think ? is branded stuff that important? do u think i’m a kampung girl and he is a city boy?? 
it is a bit too blingbling from this picture but in reality, it is alright! hehe …
