Shopping

Last week, during one of my many and long meetings, the company new HOM revealed that the best time for business to profit is during the Ramadan month, before Eid al-Fitr. During this season, people has the spending power. In fact, the spending power is the highest during Ramadan season followed by Christmas and Chinese New Year in desending order. During this time of the year, all department stores and shopping complexes will come up with the latest fashions, latest arrival. Furthermore, I found out that the latest arrival will bring forward till after Chinese New Year. Shoppers are banking in profit now so that they can sustain low spending seasons in the next 6 months.

For the next 6 months, people like me will be paying our monthly installment fees of my credit cards to the commercial banks. I wonder if his theory was true... I haven't shop during festive seasons for more than 4 years now. Just thinking of the crowd and the jostling make me lost interest in shopping during festive seasons. I am the kind that like to shop in shopping complexes that have fewer petrons. I have a piece of mind to shop, think wisely before I purchase, and find the right items. That is why I like to visit bookstores.

Now, I want to put the HOM view to test. Today I went shopping. Brave myself though the crowd, I was surprise to see items on sales everywhere. All the latest collections are on sales or arrived. Amazing. Everyone is buying as if they have tons of money to spare and spend. All the clothes are the latest fall-winter collections, the shoes, watch, bags, you name it, it's there. I believe my HOM is right after all.

Since I haven't shop for about 6 months, seriously, I took the opportunity to follow the crowd and did my window shopping and see if anything that caught my attention and worth buying. After walking for a while, I found a pair of nice and comfortable heels. The price was reasonable and the cutting was elegent. After trying it on, I bought the brown colour. After that I stopped at Swatch store. My, my... their winter collection has arrived. Looking at the crowd, I didn't bother to check out the display uints. I went straight to the collection brochures and browsed through. There were a few watches that I am attracted. So I asked the sales personal to take out all that I like and tried it. I narrowed down to 2. Then I finally pick the one I like best. As I am a skin fan, the one I selected is a skin collection with a feminine twist.
