Last Minute Shopping

Last minute also hard to deal with, even for a professional shopper like me will feel the pressure. I prefer to shop in my sweet time. I received a short notice birthday party invitation for AX. Due to the lack of information on him (I just met him once); this had created more challenges to get him a perfect gift.

I did manage to go for a hour shopping despited my busy schedule - a company event on the following day. End of the trip, I did not get anything for him… but.. but.. but.. I made a hole at my wallet and heat up my credit card too. I purchased 3 pants and 6 shirts. Those are for my brothers and me. It was in a good price and couldn’t resist the temptation when I was in the “shopping” therapist mode.

End up, I just picked up a thing from my gift reserve - A tie. Thank god I still have some stock. It is always wise to keep few things at home for the emergency like this. I am totally clue less on his dress code in the office. I am those people prefer to select a gift which is useful and meaningful. Anyhow, I hope he like it. Get my finger cross. :P

Ties are good. They're always great gifts no matter what. :)

And wah, you actually have gift stocks at home! I always have to dash out and buy something whenever some last minute birthday or party appears and there's gifts to be given. :P
