thought process

ever wondered how the thought process goes when you are contemplating on getting a gift for someone's birthday? well, here's a brief walkthrough.

1. consider the person's age. now, not the age in which the person is celebrating his/her bday, but the age they prefer to be recognized as.

2. consider what the person already has. receiving 2 similar gifts is a headache. and when your bday comes, expect the gift to land right back in your hands.

3. it's the thought that counts. yeah right. thats what they all say, till they find out you're giving them a coffee maker, socks or more ugly underwear.

4. consider what the person does NOT have. then think of why they don't have them in the first place.

5. what would YOU want on your birthday? only because if you give them that, you'll probably receive the same thing on your birthday.

6. if after all that, you still have no idea what to get, give the most cliched thing in the world, the thing that would still make the person happy, an ANG BAO.

i'm tired. i'm bead. argh argh argh.
i hope what i'm doing is not for naught.
