Where are the jeans and t-shirts?
Thursday, August 14, 2008
Why's everybody wearing shorts, shirts with Van/Converse shoes while I'm wearing jeans and t-shirts? Oh no, the style's changed!
Yea, welcome to Singapore style. The guys here mostly wear shorts with shirts/t-shirts and Converse shoes. Not to forget the most important part is MP3 player! Oh you just cant imagine that not only youngs have headphones on their ears but also the oldies. It's just like the most common thing that everybody has. It forces me to do the same thing to follow their style. I am 'demanded' to wear shorts and Van shoes with shirts/t-shirts, and of course headphones plugged to my handphone to listen to music. The style here is not that shocking, but just different. Even a friend of mine said that jeans and t-shirt are seen as Indonesia's style. People don't wear them here in Singapore so when I wore them here in my first days I felt strange.
My sandals are also a bit old-fashioned so.. I had to buy new ones. Luckily they were quite cheap for Croco sandals. So I bought them to not look too different than others here. Doesn't mean that I should not have my own style or something like that, but sometimes it is nice to be part of the culture here. To feel a bit more accepted by following the 'rule' is sometimes important. Hehe
Another thing about this country is that you can find 7-Eleven stores anywhere almost every 100 meters, in every corner. There's nothing bad or wrong with that, but it's just that 7-Eleven have manipulated Singapore.
Anyway, just wanted to keep you updated with news from here. See you!
