It's about time I made this post. Been dragging too long for this. Just 2 issues that I need to bring up.
1) "ME" Shirts
Are Singaporeans gonna get over the "me" frenzy ever? Finding "me" in a maze is so passe. Besides, the whole idea of being individualistic (Hello? Why else would you think it says "me"? Like special ol' unique moi.) is completely scrapped. Everybody has a "me" on their shirts. And I just realised how I'm insulting some of my friends cos they have them. :p Okay I shall stop. It's just... too many people are wearing it. It's like those Hang 10's "Singapore" shirts.
2) Wristbands
Let's just take a moment and think it over. The
original rubber wristband is yellow and it says LIVESTRONG on it. And melv bought me that from U.S. when it wasn't hot at all. When it was barely known. I happily wore it for a few occasions. And then everyone has one, importing from god knows where. That's still fine. Until...
They come in all colours, some of which say "Beauty" and "Princess". I'm aware that there were few original wristbands which were for the cause of raising awareness of Breast Cancer, etc. I know the blue ones were meant to say Believe... something. Believe in Yourself? I can't remember. But they were all with a purpose behind it, and for freaking charity.
Now, they're just accessories. Bought anywhere and everywhere. Pick your own words to go with it. Okay, I'm just gonna admit that some people carry it off fairly well. Still, the entire meaning is lost. It was there to raise awareness, to raise money for charity. I personally remember Andy Roddick having the blue one on and I thought, ooh awesome looking. Now everybody just copies one another. That's... not trendy, is it? Not original either. I don't think I'll be wearing my LiveStrong anytime soon.
(No offence to anyone who wears it. I mean, I know tons of people who wear it. Most of you carry it off well, I swear. [P/S: Don't kill me, you guys!])
Anyhow, today, I bought...
Yay *beam* finally.
