Shoplifter...
Do I have like "shoplifter" stamped on my forehead somewhere that I didn't notice? -.-

Seriously...

Do I?
Don't be shy...you can tell...

Today I went to the haberdashery shop to take a look at a couple of buttons and beads and this guy kept following me (obviously -.-). Owh sure~ I could stuff a couple-a buttons down my jeans and no one will be the wiser (=.=) Or perhaps it could be the fact that I'm totting around my phone and my pants don't look like they hold any wallet

So the obvious-duh guy was trying to make his presence obvious
and the oblivious-blur girl (aka me) was trying to make her face oblivious-blur

Which kinda fed the guy up =D
Cause he asked what I was looking for...

In Mandarin

BIG MISTAKE

I gave him the blur look~
and said...button...

He gave me the EVEN MORE blur look~
XD

I pointed to the nearest button

He: BLUUUUR~

Then I said...I'm looking for a packet of THIS *holds up a button*

He: Bluuuur~

My second attempt was in broken Mandarin (which I'm sure I wonked it up somewhere cause it sure as hell doesn't sound right in my ears =.=) and he was kinda stuck in the packet (cause I couldn't translate that XD)

So I gave it a couple-a tries before my genius brain realised that I should say pau (which is packet in Teochew).

To which the guy went: ooooo~ kulung/gulung (don't know)

After I asked for the price, size and etc...I thought, 'Hmm...quite reasonable...maybe I should buy it..' To which I realised...

I have no money
XD

(I think that's why I'm easily labeled shoplifter XD)

Who walks into a shop without money anyways? Sheesh~





(I had my walking atm nearby actually. =P)
