There's a time and place for everything - Just not now.



I just reminded myself of this sentence of which Professor Oak (from Pokemon if you haven't play them before, but who don't, right?) said when you tried to pull out a bike at indoors. Similarly I was thinking of my Chinese New Year clothes, whether which to buy. Honestly I think that buying some stylish new colourful shirts isn't too bad. But I'd like to dress smart, dress intimidatingly and of course dress impressively. I'd like to dress like Benedict Cumberbatch from Sherlock, with his black and white suit - w/o tie and with a pair of leather shoes. How I'd like his coat too. But that would be too much fanboyism and it is not too healthy apparently (most fans hate other fans that dress like their idol) and his coat are obviously limited edition. Really. Go and try to Google and you'd know.


I got the idea of dressing smart from my university friend. He once said, or I thought he said, or he gave born the idea to me that every single man on Earth (yes every single one including sissies) should get a full set of black and white suit. Regardless of events like prom, graduation, wedding dinner and what not, it is very well suited and very appropriate too, funerals for example. I went ahead and told my mom once about getting a full set suit (blazer, white shirt, proper pants - all tailor-made), she wasn't being very supportive. She told me "why you want to get one of those?", I was not too shock as I'd figure that my mom would pretty much question every time I do something differently.  I reason that it was a very appropriate attire that suit many events. She didn't seem to accept my reason. I am now wondering, would she rather me to ask for another watch or some other thing that I already have as my present? Oh I forgot to mention, it was suppose to be my birthday present.

Suit aside, I guess that "there's a time and place for everythimg - just not now". Right now probably I have no use of it, graduation's one year away, wedding? don't think so, funeral? hope not, class? presentation? probably overdressed and much more. Maybe I'll just get a pair of long pants and few shirts and a pair of Converse. Maybe I'll do this till I am 21 yo of which then I am all grown up and able to handle and see things differently. Maybe not, who knows. I'm already as uncle as I am right now maybe I will just grab em' next year?!

Nonetheless, I am on my holidays now and two weeks ahead we are going to celebrate our Chinese New Year. I wish all of my family and friends a prosperity and healthy year ahead.
