Wearing branded goods is like being a walking advertisement
LVs, Guccis, Burberrys, Chanels, Coachs, Ralph Laurens..... What else? My brandictionary is very limited, please pardon me. Took me 2 minutes to come up with that and got stuck by the time my brain reached RL.
The title of my entry is being said by an image consultant, as what my mum told me. Everyone gets excited about their branded wallets, branded bags, branded phone straps, but do you actually need these branded stuff? Each item can easily set you back by the hundreds. If you're rich cos you're born with a silver spoon (HAHAHA awk remember v&s?), or if you earn truckloads every month, then okay sure do continue to splurge. What I don't get is, people who do vacation jobs, modelling assignments, or save up their very terribly little allowance just to buy branded goods. So many people are in pursuit of their so-called desired branded bag which everyone else down the street also has. So you like spending so much and yet having the same thing like everyone else?
Maybe you can try out an experiment. Get out of the house, go to town, and get back home. While on the way there and back, try counting how many LVs you do see on the MRT or buses. You will be surprised by the numbers, really. The truly rich people would not be seen carrying their branded bags on trains and buses cos obviously they'll be in their posh Audi R8, or in a Maserati. Then again the rich don't even have to drive cos they have chauffers!
The thing about people wanting to get branded stuff, is to want to look 'expensive'. Don't tell me you love LV just cos you think it's pretty. Deep down in your heart you know you wanna look more expensive. But if your idea of expensive is to blow all your hard-earned-yet-little pay that you earned from 5 months of work on a 1k wallet, then that's really quite lame. Some people that I observed on the streets, as well as while working at RLC, is that they can be carrying a freaking Chanel 2.55, but they're fat, and they look so unkempt. So tell me, do they still look rich? Their authentic bags instantly looks like a fake or an inspired one.
Actually I don't wanna look rich also cos my family ain't rich later if I carry too much branded then I get kidnapped how??
I might once have said I like the LV denim wallet (which I blogged about sometime last year), but I also said I'll only get it if I earn 10k per month! But I guess by the time comes, I will think I'm better off without one cos really, I prefer my Baby Phat wallet over an LV one anytime. *winks*
Please don't think I'm saying this cos I cannot afford buying branded stuff. Fyi, I can well afford a few LVs or a Chanel 2.55 if I want to (cos I save, big time), but that's not how I'm gonna spend my money. I rather save up my money and buy my cheap $15 bags from Taiwan sprees cos you spend 1.5k on 1 bag, and I can buy another 100 Taiwan spree bags with the same amount. I have maybe, 25 bags which total up to less than 1k. :D I don't wanna be carrying 1 LV bag in exchange with my 25 bags!
This post is not to pin-point anyone in particular cos I do know friends who love branded stuffs. It's just my take on whether is really worth it for not so rich people to be splurging like crazy. A $100 discount off a $1000 bag seems alot, but it's only 10% off. They still earn about 60% from you! And they don't even have to spend money on advertising cos all you silly people do free advertising for them. They save and earn so much, but the holes in your pockets grow bigger and bigger cos you don't have money to get needle and thread to sew it back.
It seems like the economic crisis has not dampen the spirits of these pursuitors for brands. The branded goods I see on the streets seem to be increasing, in fact. You'll rather be buying branded goods than to be saving up the money for a rainy day, lest you lose your job. Clever people!!
I'm gonna end this post abruptly cos it's really late and I'm working again tomorrow, after 2 days of break which was ultra to-die-for. Goodnight! Remember to ponder over my thoughts! :P

MARINA BARRAGE!
It's my 3rd time there already, first time for the Marina Barrage performance, second time with Baby for Vday and third time with this bunch of crazy ass people!
There were only 6 of us: me, Hijack, Wilson, Shaoqun, Yijie and Tiong. But there were 3 cars. Imba or not?? LOL. Hijack in Wilson's car, me in Yijie's car and Shaoqun in Tiong's car. Alot funny things happened while we were on our way there! Lol.
