Lavish Spending

I was speaking to an old friend of mine a few days ago, when the the topic about lavish spending. My friend whose to be a simple and never worried about spending money on clothes or cosmetics was now the total opposite. There she was sitting in Starbucks, with her hush puppy dress and prada handbag, and there i was passing by the place she sat with my tshirt,shorts and sandals which summed up to be only 30 bucks.

So then she waved at me and i went over to her, and we started talking instantly about our old days for an hour or so. One thing let to another she started talking about how she started dressing up after entering college. She started spending tons of money on branded stuff and started naming me places that she would shop and then asked me to join her one day, and all i could do was smile and say "haha that's not gonna happen, cause those places are not for me" and she laughed at me and said "why ? you are wearing clothes that looks expensive too, so why not come shop with me ?" and i said back "babe i shop at times square and that's it, i don't waste money on clothes especially from romp or hush puppies or anything that's from pavilion and mid valley or klcc, I get my clothes from places that are cheap, and sometimes even the bazaar or morning market that's it" and the look on her face was one in a million. She told me that she don't wear cheap stuff cause people may laugh at her and she said she thought i was wearing the tshirt from Body Glove and when i told her i was actualy wearing a tshirt that was bought from a thailand fair and told her the price for my clothings that i was wearing and she got stunned and told me that's how much her shoes cost, and so that's when i told her to get herself to times square and you would die thinking about the money you spent in all those posh clothing stores when you could spend them at times square for a waayyy cheaper price and the quality is good too. And we talked and talked stuff that's not important to write here :)

Anyways, i know some of you that dont know me may think that im a cheapskate or some sort, but hey im not willing to spent 15 bucks on shorts or 30 bucks for a blouse, cause that the way i am and its just too painfull to see my money going to waste for that. I choose to be this way, even with expensive clothes no one's gonna pay you for that in the future its whta you avheive and that the way i wanna be.
