everyone smells the same: crabtree & evelyn

what is it with women and crabtree & evelyn??? i just don't understand. everyone will just end up smelling the same everywhere.

i spent 1 hour queuing up at the branch in vivocity cuz pei hwan wanted to get some presents for people...and i was watching all these chics buying their moisturisers and hand creams and whatnots, when i finally realised the chaos potential of "women indecisiveness".

there were only like about 15 women inside a store big enough to hold 30 men, but due to the delay from girls trying on different shit to their hands, smelling the different fragrances, changing their minds about their purchases...the store was forever filled with the same people looking at the same things, for literally hours on end...exasperating (for the staff at least) if you ask me.

not that i'm complaining lah...cuz pei hwan was also checking out all the different stuff for her relatives and friends, and given the fact that i actually volunteered for the task of official-sniffer-of-soap-cum-queuer-cum-bag-holder...so...it all adds up lah.

in fact, everyone was so engrossed with their shopping that i don't even think they noticed when i ripped a big one right in the middle of the store either...i guess that the overwhelmingly good scents from the products covered it up...either that, or they weren't in the right place at the right time. hahaha.

12 items and 1.5 hours later, we left with a bagful of santa's goodies. good luck to the people standing in the middle of the store though. i guess everyone might just end up smelling the same everywhere. hahaha. cheers. =)

I guess that's the best compliment crabtree&evelyn can get:

"You'll fart in our store, and no one will even notice!"
