I'm not gonna talk about trends...

-.-

I ain't no trendsetter

And I don't COPY trends

Have you ever felt as though every time you do something, many other people does the same as you like after a week or so?

Don't you feel as though you're being COPIED?

It's infuriating isn't it?

Like it's YOUR style and suddenly when ppl see how nice it looks on you, they start to copy too and claim it's them who thought of it.

Story #1:

I remembered there was this point of time when METAL waterbottles were the IN thing.

The story was that like one week before that trend set in, my aunt from switzerland bought me a METAL waterbottle. I was like O.O!! OOOOOHHH!!! nv see before leh!! sooo cooooool! waaa

So I brought it to school to "hao lian"= show off and all my friends were like going gaga over it.

one week later....

half the school had METAL waterbottles....

i was like WTF....

I swear nobody had metal waterbottles before that and metal waterbottles weren't out in the singapore market yet. (unless you are referring to thermal flask)

So I got pissed cuz i was no longer the MONOPOLIST =(

everyone had one too...

Thank goodness those bottles were kinda pricy at that point of time...

At least I WAS THE TRENDSETTER (or i thought i was)

So I started to NOT USE THAT BOTTLE since it was no longer special to me anymore and it started to dent cause i kept dropping it on the floor...

And about 2 months later, the bottles were not the IN thing anymore..

HAH!

anna's magical fingers..

anna like= new trend, anna don't like= no more trend

=P

Story #2

During my secondary school years, contact lenses were not really popular. Thus everyone who actually cared for their image and are short sighted would try their best to find the nicest pair of specs so that they won't look like a mega geek.

I was one of the more "hiao" ones so one fine day, I went to buy a new pair of specs. This time, instead of finding a pair of plain normal glasses, I decided to buy a pair of designer specs. It looked really "boomz". With 2 shades of orange and white stripes. Very unique.

For the 1st week, I received like 10 compliments from my friends. Apparently, they loved that pair of glasses.

1 week after my days of glory,

BOOM!!!!!

Half the school bought designer glasses

-.-

WTH TTM!!

Imagine my anger

rarrr

Story #3:

Like I said, during my secondary school years, contact lenses were not the IN thing yet.

So i decided to give it a shot

I bought contacts

For the first 3 weeks, I gained relatively more popularity and had alot of people complimenting me about how BIG my eyes were.

I was tickled pink

really happy

BUT!!!!!

few weeks after that,

People started to follow

slowly, 1/4 of the school started to wear contact lenses
