Lightyears

It’s the weekend before term starts again on Monday, and there I was along Orchard Road with my family shopping. Anyway, I needed to get new clothes for the new academic year and such, and so we started from Ngee Ann CIty, then to Wisma, Forum Shopping Mall, Palais Renaissance, Isetan Scotts and finally back to Ngee Ann City where we parked our car. On our return to Ngee Ann City, we were walking in the basement shops and suddenly I saw Club Monaco advertisement boards!! I can’t wait for it to open in September, which happens to coincide with my birth month as well! It’s about time we had stores other than Zara and Topman opening.

It has been almost a year, I think, since I bought a new pair of jeans, the last time being on my 20th Birthday back in 2006. This is my fourth pair of G-Star jeans to date, and I can till remember vividly how I bought my first pair. It was in early 2005 when I was shopping alone in Paragon and I happen to walk into G-Star. After which, I started trying out different types of jeans until I came across one with very unique material and texture. The material was really different (as in that pair’s material was quite thin and it really did not have the bulky feeling that most denim clothing have). I must say it was an impulse buy, and I only realised the price ($328) at the counter!!

Since then, I would usually buy jeans / denim products from G-Star because of the quality they offer. On their designs: I felt the designs were more of my taste in the past, especially the range of upper-body wear. Fortunately their jeans still look as good as they used to.
