Great Training !

Last Saturday, I dutifully followed my mum and aunt to a seemingly ordinary outing at IMM. It was to be nothing like the ordinary...

Daiseo Everything $2 Shop. Imagine you are in the outlet right now in the normalcy of the usual operating hours. Feel the dimensions of the store with the displays as well as the shelves filled with the retail wares. How long do you reckon you require before you can so-called finish up shopping in Daiseo? Before you let your thoughts wander really wild about those imaginary discounts and offers, let us take a look and examine the following pictures...


This is as obvious as things can get. The above schematic diagram is a highly graphical depictation of the route traced of a typical male shopping in a nondescript store. As you can observe, the preliminary conclusions you can make is that the male often and almost always has in mind what he requires, hence the straight and undulating path taken. The short distance taken also corresponds with a short amount of time spent within the confines of the store as well. So much for the decisive shopper...

There isn't a 3rd gender in the Animal Kingdom, is there? Why this is a diagram that represents the shopping trail of the female of course! This particular specimen is regarded as highly odd from its peers for having relatively neat pathways. which implies that the path taken by females in previous studies were hopelessly messy and chaotic. Sorry, had to be factual here... When compared to the diagram compiled for the male gender, the time taken is also horrendously longer...*gripes. As to why this is such the case, scientists are still trying to find out.

In oder to gather more comcrete findings in order to crack the mystery, I myself participated in an involuntary experiment last Sat. The experiment is simple, to find out the effects of prolonged shoppin on the male gender.

Here is my account of the ordeal...YES! I lived to regale the tale!!

*After 30 minutes............ Started the MP3 player to while time away.


*After 40 minutes............Started looking at eye candies to seek meaning in the wait.

*After 1 Hour.......... Start counting eye candies a la counting sheep.

*After 2 Hours......Eyes start drooping, Body starts preparation for hibernation.

*After 3 hours........ General reaction and situation awareness starts plummeting like mad...

*After 4 hours........Body starts to register no interest in eye candies...

*After 5 hours........Body enters hibernation in standing position.

I was awaken less than 10 seconds after my transit into hibernation.... So much for an experiment and training... Shopping? Hey, being it on man!
