bling bling- real or not first?

have you ever had any woman flash her big rock at you, and i mean literally IN-YOUR-FACE? i had that honor at far east square spinelli's this morning. was doing my usual morning perusal of seductive muffins and cookies when this lady conveniently shot her left hand out and "posed" it on the food display, obviously disregarding my presence. then again, i reckon she did that on purpose cos i caught her looking at me from the corner of my eye. WELL. congratulations miss so-and-so, singapore has one less available ah lian i suppose and that you're obviously brimming with exuberance over your new found status but you don't have to be so bloody blatant and ostentatious sticking your gaudy skinny fingers over the muffin tray right? get your fingers outta my muffins now!

on another note, isn't it ironic how the locals are so concerned about flaunting logos rather than buying authenticity? saw three chinese women selling LV bags along the underpass of orchard wisma and you wouldn't believe the amount of middle class women they attracted. which is warped cos the intention of carrying logos (to this bunch of women) lies in the hope of increasing their social status. and buying replicas would only serve to kick you one step down that social ladder cos HULLO, people do recognise quality and details in genuine products (especially sales people in boutiques, they do have a keen eye for such items).

checklist:
1) the watch. they usually have good timepieces.
2) overall appearance. mani and pedicured feet, styled hair.
3) shoes. you can tell from details (cut, form, materials) how expensive they are. do your research. go to any regular department store and move on ahead to on peddar at takashimaya. huge difference baby.
4) mannerisms and speech. eg: "eh, harlow? no lar, i at on peddah now, taka lar, ta-ka-shi-may-yah, where you, what time you pick me up?" tsktsk. you may be carrying a two grand chanel bag and still look the lowest of low on the social scale.

there's absolutely nothing wrong wearing regular stuff cos they are indeed affordable and comfortable, which is more important. but it's also terribly nauseating watching bogus bling blings flashing by. why oh why oh why?
