Pseudo-shopping

image


Pseudo-shopping: Helping a friend spend money.

Origins: From the dubious pages of CC's Jargons

Suggested usage: I'm going out on a pseudo-shopping spree. Oh, what fun.



It's a pretty good deal actually. See, I get to go through all the motions of shopping for a gadget - the hunting and the bargaining and leave with the moolah in my purse intact. A stress and worry-free outing to wash away the grime of yet another gruelling and adrenaline-inducing week.

Whee!

*Actually, I call it vicarious shopping. All of the shopping thrills, excitement and joy. Without the money.

*Yup, vicariously living through someone else. Well, I blew close to 2 grand, but it was well worth it! Plus, I made a new friend! :-D

As far as curry laksa goes, I'm partial to the one at Subang Parade MPH bookstore, or the one at Yik Mun in Tanjung Malim. Yum!
