It was just a winning, a small “battle” with auntie.

Trophy: An umbrella
After dinner, I was shopping with my baby sister xing xian. We were walking along the push carts when my sister say that she wanted to get a brolly which was out of stock the other day. So we stop at the push cart which sell brolly & I spot an umbrella that I like. So I open it up & see the design of a pink one. Initially the push cart owner say that she only left with 4pieces – 1 in blue, 1 pink, 1 yellow, 1off-white). Which means not much choices left.
Then, my competitor comes along (KPO-ing what I am looking at). After seeing the pink one, I decided to look at the one in blue, so I tell the push cart owner. When the auntie heard what I say, she quickly take the blue one. I was rather pissed off by her action. Then the owner say she still have one more blue, so she show it to me, & I decided to get it.
I also wanted to get one more for my elder sister, so I open up the yellow one & the auntie open the off-white. After discussing with xing xian , we find that the one in off-white looks nicer. So we return the yellow & pink one to the owner. Then the auntie put down the off-white & open the pink one (I reject the pink one because it is dirty). & right after the auntie put down the off-white, I “rush” over immediately & purchase both the blue & off-white.
Haha, after we made our payment, we heard the aunite requesting for the off-white too (the owner told her it is really out of stock). But just too bad, it was in my bag. Who ask you to be so rude in the 1st place, if you are nice, I won’t “fight” with you over the brolly.
Lesson learnt: Never let go whatever you want when someone is eye-ing the same thing as you, especially the last piece.
