It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago

I have this urge to visit a supermarket. I find extreme delight in walking between shelves of groceries and taking the time to look at every food section. Cookies... tidbits... instant noodles... canned food... cereal... dairy products... fruit juices... microwaveable food... gourmet... ... they take my breath away, i tell you.

It's amazing how many hundreds of brands exist just for say, ice-cream. Tonnes of local and imported brand names from Potong to Wall's to Meiji to Ben & Jerry's. Don't even start on the variations and flavours.

Well, i was told the world hasn't always been like that. There was a point in time when soap was just soap. It came in bars, and people used it for the laundry, dishes, and on themselves. Yes, hair and body same thing.

We're being surrounded by choices, choices and more choices as the years go by. See how every aspect of our life requires some form of decision making? Ipod or Creative Zen? Mocha Oreo Freeze or Choco Oreo Freeze? Southampton or Blackburn?

So, thanks for choosing to read this. *goofy grins*
