Brown Bear's birthday present was the freakin' hardest to buy, damn it.
The day before, on his birthday, some of us walked allllll over 1U looking for something suitable and eventually found this decent Adidas basketball jersey XL (largest) size. It was, however, "slim fit" and he ended up looking like some tight-shirted-broad-chested gangster. So nope. There was also this sexy lime green fish-net jersey in Nike which ... ha!
The next day we went to
i) Mid Valley (Mid Garden! i'll elaborate later) and walked all around only to find this satisfactory Jordan series jersey M size which was surprisingly as large as the Adidas XL one but still tight.
ii) M being the only size they had, we went to Pyramid to scout for other sizes and they only had L (still slightly tight) and XXL (like a dress). Asked the Pyramid fellers to run database check for XL and the only one left in the area was in Time freakin Square.
iii) Asked Pyramid fellers to reserve XL in Time Square and flew off to Time Square using LRT & Monorail which was disastrous. I hate public transport. The bloody monorail was so packed when we came back that people had to squeeze in like sardine can.
iv) While on the way, Time Square Nike woman called to say that XL had already been reserved by another customer so i got damn irritated and sounded her and she agreed to sell me the shirt if we arrive earlier than the other bugger.
v) Arrived at Time Square and triumphantly purchased freakin jersey! Time Square Nike woman must have thought that i was one of those hateful and bitchy customers coz she dispatched two of her male colleagues to supposedly "handle" me should i start bitching. XD

Marketingdinghooi refers to The Gardens as Mid Garden. "How many of u go Mid Garden shopping?" Was totally lost when i heard that. And then i realized. And couldn't stop laughing. His lectures are so fun to record!
