It's summer sale season at the moment in the UK. So, for members of shopaholics anonymous or otherwise known as Bruneians, it's definitely the season to be excited. Large sale signs of 50, 60 and 70% are pasted all over the stores.
Here are some of the reasons (or more like excuses) that we find telling ourselves to justify of going shopping:
1) "Eh, masa sale ani murah ni. Iatah masanya ni!". But rather than shopping for one item and saving some money, be ganda-ganda pulang barang nya!
2) "Di Brunei nada ni (insert item here) ani, baik tah membali!".
3) "Di Brunei mahal ni (insert item here) ani, baik tah membali!".
4) "Bila lagi ko kemari? Payah jua dapat this chance to shop disini!"
5) "Kalau membali yang steady lagi model nya (yang lagi mahal), at least inda jua menyasal nanti". This is pure classic. There is actually a perambahan for this called "Alah membeli menang memakai."
6) "Ani reward bah ni untukku. Ngalih2 belajar/keraja." Hahah!
7) "Awu lama udah (insert item here) ku atu. I think it's time for an upgrade!"
8) "Eh, ani alum ku pernah tedapat ni barang ani."
9) "Eh, mana tau nanti ke pulau/pantai, dapat jua memakai seluar surfing ani!" or "Eh, nanti kalau ku conference sanang ku jua be blazer!" (Admittedly, this is quite specific).
10) "Lapas ani inda tah lagi ku shopping. Last tah ni!" R-rrrright. How many time have we heard this?
11) This is the ultimate. "We only live once!" or kalau di brunei-kan "Duit atu inda jua di bawa mati!".
:-D
Okay, kalau ada idea lagi sila tambah.

Erk. Guilty on all counts!
Let me add to that list,
"It's a good investment... BANAR!"
"But I really need it! really! Never mind that I have (insert double digit number here) of the same things at home"
"But I don't have it in THIS colour, so mesti bali!"
"Baik tah bali banyak banyak. Manatau untuk di bagi orang di Brunei nanti.." - and then you end up NOT giving it away and keeping all for yourself - Ultimate selfishness this is!
Happy shopping! :D
YY, hey thanks for the additions.
"Investment" atu another classic tu. It's not like we're getting any financial returns out of it. Actually the opposite happens.
hahaha
