General Taste
There were times that I met someone who was carrying the same bag as I did, wearing the same shirt as me, wearing the same dress when I walked on the street.
How do you react when you saw someone wearing the same shirt as you? Embarrassing? Erm, a bit la, erm.. yea… quite la. But I wont hide or walk further just to avoid the person, at least not doing it on purpose ler.
Having someone carrying the same bag with me, wearing same watch (the model), or using the same (model) ipod as I am using, I wont be so paiseh. But hor, when bump into someone wearing the same dress as me, I felt quite paiseh.
I am sure you know how it feels like, right?
Recently I’ve bump into 2 girls wearing same dress as me on my way to work, in different day la. For the first time, I was okay. For the second time, I felt like, “Oh My god, Not again!”
I told hongkiat about this incident, he laughed at me, saying “Because you all have general taste, common!” But I defended saying that dress was cheap and I bought it at Isetan, so should not be surprise to bump into these girls. I am thinking to wear that dress lesser, but it’s quite hard not to bump into people who wear the same thing as you, right? Especially Singapore is this SMALL! Moreover I am not rich enough to buy designer shirt/dress. Sigh.
Sheryl was even ‘worst’ than me, she was once wearing some dress to work and one of her colleagues also wearing the same dress at the same day (only different color), she was embarrassed to the max. She swear that she will never wear that dress anymore.
What about you? Are you having GENERAL TASTE buying what everyone else is buying? Haha !

cely, i think men encounter these issue more often….guy dun have much fashion and style like gals….
even we have the same shirt, we wont feel that bad…from my point of view…
wearing a same shirt for ladies is like being condemn…
my girlfriend will react like ur friend if she saw other gals wearing the same outfit..maybe throw away…
haha…i dun have fashion sense..so i buy general clothing like t-shirt and jean..

That’s why I don’t wear Giordano clothes hehe… one day I saw one aunty wearing same T-shirt as me, and until today that T-shirt stays at the back of my wardrobe. I guess I should give it away :)

I once saw someone wearing the same watch… exactly same design and colour. I quickly hide my hand in pocket :p
I think shirt still quite ok - Esp for guys la… since it’s so damn common, nothing to really feel embarrassed about. For girls maybe it’s alittle more sensitive… hehehe…
