Shopping Day (2007-07-23)
It's been a long time since KL and I went on a full day shopping spree with a purposeful shopping in mind. Usually we just go out to eat and then browse around for interesting food and occasionally go inside any shops that display some silly or weird stuff for photography intention.
However KL had some big items he NEEDED to get and me some small
ones that I couldn't put off buying any longer. Our mental
shopping list included: business suit for the summer, a short-sleeve
casual shirt, a pair of pants, L.L.Bean's Storm Chaser Shoes, a kitchen
timer, a heat-proof spatula, a bento box and a retangular clothes
hanger with pegs. Most of the items on the list are needed to
replace the ones that are broken at home with the bento box and hanger
being the most urgently needed. I've been using a rubber band to
close the lid of the broken bento box and hanging washing including
underwear on individual clothes hangers because one of the two
rectangular hangers has completely fallen apart.
So, after a day's walking around Shinjuku (
), we managed to get most of
the items on the list. We didn't get the pants because we were
dead tired to go back to Uniqlo to fight the crowds; we didn't get the
shoes 'cause there's no L.L. Bean in Shinjuku and most stupidly of us,
we forgot the hanger which means I'll either have to go out again by
myself just to get that or I could keep putting up panties and briefs
on hangers like displaying colorful flags. Yeah, I think I can
live with doing that for a little bit longer.
Lesson learned: don't rely on a mental shopping list, always have a written list.
