THE PINK SHEEN held my attention; I asked myself, “Should I make this purchase?” I looked at it again, took off the clear plastic wrap and felt the slight groove of the gold motif with my index finger. I looked at one of my travelling companions. “Of course you should get it. It is beautiful, and there is only one of these in the world,” she said. I looked at her with a slight grin—who needs enemies when you have an enabler for your impulsive shopping habits.
I made the purchase.
Looking back a decade later—though it might not be a well-thought purchase (I do not encourage spending almost RM400 when earning just above minimum wage on a pink Tenun Pahang Diraja selendang)—I have no regrets.
