Couture: How to Survive GSS

And so it began, the greatest national sport event that every single lady has been waiting for. They have scrimped and saved for this, they've pleased and pacified their spouses in hope of their kind financial sponsorship for this, they've prayed not to be assigned OT on the first day of the event so that they'll be one of the first to benefit from this 2 months long campaign.

Have you figured it out? If you've not, you're probably either:
1. A Male Reader who's not chic
2. Not Local
3. Both

If you've not figured it out and can't seem to find yourself fitting into any of the above categories, then I reckon you must be one of the poor ladies who've been deprived of their natural instinct of interest.

The Great Singapore Sales 2008 is here to delight the ladies and depress their spouses from 23 May to 20 July! In order to indulge in the best of what GSS has to offer, we've prepared our very own survival tips just for you!

Gentlemen Survival Tips

1. Book your Buddies - It's time to call up your best pals while your lady's shopping. You do what you always do with your buddies, even if it means those from the geek's club. You do what you do best to kill time: chilling out, catching a movie, playing sports, you name it all.

2. Monitor your Lady's Transactions - You might just want to be sure that your lady's not shopping on impulse by monitoring her credit card bills, better still just set a tighter credit limit for these 2 months by calling up the credit card company discreetly while she's at the showers. Don't burst your bank and then go haywired on your lady, prevention is better than cure.

3. Be more Proactive at Night - As a man, it can never hurt to have a little more love-making with your lady. Not only can it satisfy her and promote a stronger bond, it may well save your wallet! Be sexy at night, and she'll go wobbly during the day. Her shopping energy and desire will be hindered.

4. Work Hard, Earn Hard - For those of you who're good husbands/boyfriends who sayang your ladies, you'll probably just fuel her financial power during GSS. If you want to achieve that, you'd better start climbing that corporate ladder fast to earn bigger bucks. With promotion comes greater income.

Ladies Survival Tips

1. Early Bird Catches the Worm - You'd better rush to be on the frontline of the GSS battlefield if you want to be entitled to the best offerings from the retail stores. Better designs and fitting sizes are always snapped up before you can finish exclaiming "Holly Shit!" by the time you realized. Usually it's the first 3 days, if you visit anytime after, the sizes of the sale racks are always outrageous.

2. Shop with your Best Kaki - Long queues at the fitting rooms are always expected, so you will not want to go shopping with many friends. Just go with your best shopping kaki, the one who knows your taste best and always provide appropriate and concise comments on your tried-on items without being wishy-washy? Oh, not to forget that her shopping stamina must be good as well.

3. Best Plan isn't No Plan - Before you head down for your shopping spree, it's best if you can plan out the mall hopping route to minimize unnecessary excessive walking that can hinder your shopping stamina and experience. Saves time and energy.

4. Never Settle for Second Best - You should only purchase fashion pieces of the desired design and right size. Never settle for an item that you don't even like just because it comes in your size. It's just like dating a guy, who's clearly not your type, solely for a flush fit of his penis in your venus. Never, do that. Ever.
