~ Horror of Saying " U'r -his -her is the same as mine! "

I came across Nuar M's Blog..

He had a very interesting topic about ppl yg pakai the same bju at one place at the same time..

..................................................

What he said:

In the society that I live in, we live by the rule that no two being should wear the same clothes in the same building, with the exception of uniforms. In the case of encountering such a situation, one would immediately divert him/herself into an alley, a shop or perhaps hiding behind a pillar just to ensure that they would not cross-path each other. If on the other hand, it’s too late to run away; both parties would walk pass by each other in awkwardness, and at a faster walking speed hoping that no one else notices the similarities between them. Any anthropologists out there who has the explanation to this? So, I think it’s best for shops out there to just sell one shirt for each design and no more than that. In that case, you won’t worry much carrying an extra shirt in your trunk every time you go out.

My response to this:

Has something to do with

1. The way we were brought up and socialised (primary or secondary)..

2. How our culture has been mixed with other cultures tht value fashion..

coz dulu2 org Brunei don't care if drg punya bju or teluk belanga or kain songket sma mcm org laen..

3. How mass media manipulates us to value fashion eventho conciously we know tht

baju tane ane ada million copies.. except if u bli limited edition.. but still~ there should be at least a hundred copies everywhere.. Unless its couture (One of a kind!!)...

I responded through his css box.. haha sampai byk spelling error!!!

If you don't want to have the same baju as other people or eliminate

the element of surprise or accidental bumping with other people wearing the

same clothing as you are.. you can try...

Here's My tip:

1. Do not buy baju arah

-Jaya Hypermart

-The superstore arah mall basement.. (I don't remember it's name)

2. ~u can buy at:

- Bingo

- Ego

- fashion outlet

- Hua Ho

(eventho mostly same design.. but the colours are different

which wont be notice-able.)

But ur best bet is:

BUYING ALL UR WARDROBE OVERSEAS
