to buy or not to buy?

while in new york, dah alang2 kat situ, i decided to get some shopping done at the famous woodbury outlet (i will update on the details later k), not only for myself but also for some other people, and i especially took orders from those yang getting married soon, who wanted a branded hadbags/watches for their "hantaran" at a bargain price.

i myself are purchasing same items for the same purpose so it took some time and skill and discretion to ensure that the items are different for different people, obviously you wanted your things to be unique etc, tak best la kan if let say if you are related and same people will go to your wedding and your cousin's wedding, and the barang2 hantaran macam sama warna design and all kan?

but naturally, since you are the one doing the purchases, and knowing your budget and all, surely you will tend to choose the best for yourself right?

ok contoh nye;

this person gives me 200USD to buy a Coach handbag right.

so, i look for something that is within her budget, tapi of course i akan pilih the most lawa of the lot kan.

but for myself, kata lah i put my budget at 200USD also, but masa kat sana, the one i liked is slightly more expensive and of course, slightly more "lawa" than the one i chose for the other person, so naturally, i do my maths and since i can afford the extra 100 (let's say) i will make the purchase for me. kire u get what u paid for la kan.

or, kata kan lah, my budget is also 200usd, and there's two bags of that price, but one is more lawa than the other, so isnt it common sense for me to naturally pick the more lawa one for myself la, right?

i mean, why should i give in so that the other person gets nicer and better things, when im the one who does the purchases for her right?

its not like the stuff i bought for her not even nice, its just that mine, is, well, "nicer".

and, takkan i nak beli the same stuff la plak kan!!

i dah cukup baik untuk beli bag for people pun dah cukup bagus right? lagi nak berkira and compare la kan? kalau nak the choices, then pergi beli sendiri la kan, baru puas hati. and actually, at first memang i did not want to show the other person my purchases, nak simpan la kan nanti baru tunjuk, but unfortunately due to cannot-explain-here circumstances, i had to show that person my things, which i thoroughly resented but terpaksa :(

so tak pasal2 jadi masalah tak puas hati nie...

sometimes women can get really weird when it comes to this kind of stuff, so dunno lah, malas nak layan orang2 macam nie huhu

what do you guys think?

me think...lain kali jgn ambik pesanan..

or.. kalo dier nk the one u get (nicer one)..ask her to paid the price you paid plus the transportation fees..

kadang2 org yg pesan2 nie tak sedar transportation..lelah..makan..minum..semua patut include.. (quote from Z**** ,2010).

kan nanti dieorg ckp..tu pon nk berkira..

aikkk...org tu boleh nk berkira slightly lawa..tak kan kiter tak leh berkire..

bagi jer duit balik kat org tu.. jual jer bag tu kat sape2 yg nk.. lagi untung.. mcm akak kat Sri Hartamas itu hari..
