megamall

The Mid Valley Megamall was so packed today! I don't really like crowds. Had a very late lunch/early dinner at around 4.45pm at this place called Little Penang. Pretty good food. My parents had recommended the place to me. Best thing I had there was the chendol. The gula melaka tasted gooooood.

While I was standing inside Mango today, I thought of something to add to my blog. You know how when a guy follows a girl into a shop, and then the girl wants to try on something so the guy holds on to all her belongings including her handbag? Come on guys, you all have been there I'm sure. Anyway, here is a guide to looking normal while still holding on to a handbag.

Tip #1: Do NOT sling the handbag onto your shoulders! This goes without saying guys. Go on to my second tip to an alternative to slinging the handbag.

Tip #2: A slightly better alternative is to hold the handbag by its handles and then just let the bag hang by your side. The good thing is that now, the handbag is hanging very low and hopefully out of sight of the long line of girls queuing outside the changing room.

Tip #3: The best way, in my opinion, to hold the handbag (especially when it is a small-ish handbag) is to just clutch it and hold it by your side. Feels more manly in a way, to hold it like that, and again, since it is close to your side, you can shield the bag from the staring eyes of the above queue of females.

Tip #4: The sofa is your friend. If you see a sofa, grab a seat and you can now leave the handbag next to your side without having to hold it see.

Tip #5: Adopt a cavalier attitude. If you need to hang around outside the changing room, just stand up, shift your weight to one foot, and just look blankly into the space. Do NOT make eye contact with the other hapless males hanging around the changing room. Just think "macho". Even if you have not followed Tip #1 and you have slung the bag on your shoulders, try your best to think "macho".
By not making eye contact, you will not risk bursting out in laughter at men who failed to follow Tip #1.

There, you should be able to survive the "changing-room-handbag" situation with the above easy tips.
