of sexist sports brands and sports shops.

i thought i had just hit jackpot. was scouting around for sports stuff(my shoe died after the 10km and i have a bad shin splint now. i was hoping to use the $100 capitaland voucher i won from the Sunday Times caption contest a few months ago.) and i eventually wound up at Royal Sporting House. and guess what i found?

baselayer going for $33!

can you imagine, baselayer going for SGD$33!
like homg.

"excuse me, do you have any reebok baselayers for men? those over there kinda look like they're for the ladies."
"eh. baselayer? which one?"
"er, the one over there. yeahh."
"uh. we're sorry sir. we only have those for the ladies, but for the gents we have PLENTY of SHIRTS and SHORTS and other apparel over there."

NOOOOOOOOOO.

anyway, for those of you who are scratching your heads on seeing the word baselayer, i'll tell you more bout it. well, basically, it's like some kinda tights-like-material-suit for the upper body. they come in short sleeves and long sleeves. supposedly meant to keep you dry by removing moisture from your body. or in other cases, keep you cool/warm and all. you kinda get the idea. but the backside part of it is that it's usually sold for like above $50? nike, skins, canterbury, with skins being the most expensive. oh well, hope reebok'll make baselayers for men next time.

that aside, i'm kinda worried bout OP tomorrow. and of course the day that will live on in infamy, Nov 6th. i'm kinda happy i got in for the ogl thingy and i'm totally looking forward to the camp at the end of the year(literally; 29-31 Dec) after all the crazy stuff.

God Bless.
