I think I have decidophobia. Especially when I am presented with choices. Choosing stuffs on my own scares me.

I guess it's because I've always wanted the "best" choice.

Which is why my shopping list are forever pending.

Case 01: The Earphone

My faithful old earphone broke down 3 days ago, while I was running. Lost the audio on one side. Since, I'm a noob when it comes to gadget, I managed to get myself "chopped" by some unscrupulous merchant at Orchard.

Why? I spent $20 on a lousy earphone by TDK or some funny chap-pa-lang brand with horrible audio. Even my old "half-paralysed" on sounded better than it. Cannot tahan so spent $19 on another one, by Sony this time.

Then I happened to walk past HMV. And lo and behold, lots of earphones on sales! Babi. And I found out that stupid TDK is only selling for $10.95 there lo. To say I was furious is an understatement. And the Sony one is priced at $17.95 I think a couple of nearby boys on the playstation actually backed a few steps away from me...

Conclusion- Spent a total of $39 only to get okay-quality earphone. Fail.

Case 02: The Perfect You-Know-What

Listed a few nominees in my head but none were perfect enough. Went through Orchard, City Hall, Raffles Place and then Bugis in one afternoon. Only to finally decide on getting the first nominee which I first found in Orchard. I must be mad.

Conclusion- Spent an entire afternoon to get what could have been gotten in 20 minutes. Fail.

Case 03: The Jeans

Finding the perfect pair of jeans is very tricky. You won't know until you've tried and them . With the limited budget on hand, it's even worse. I spent more than a month hunting for the perfect jeans with a meagre budget. Wth. After countless pairs of denims that I've tried on, I finally got myself a dark blue slim cut pair at $35. Alas, the thing falls 2 inches too short above the ground. Funny how I never noticed it while trying.

Conclusion- 1 month and still got yourself a fashion faux pas?? Shame on you. Damn fail.

Case 04: The Hair

This should be infamous by now. Debated so much with my inner selves (yes, I've more than 1!) whether it should be long or short. Thought I was smart for settling for mid-length instead, the best of both world. Well, life is like opening a box of chocolates right? You never know when someone else will snatch away everything from behind, in a blink of an eye. Hair's gone and hair's short now. Enough said.

Conclusion- Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I got fooled more than the fingers on my hands could count.Very the failure.

I've just happened to read this post by xiaxue. And it makes me think, what are the best decisions that I've ever made to change my life for the better? I rack my brain for hours and hours, still, can't think of anything. But when it comes to bad decisions, the list for so overflowing in a few seconds.

I am therefore, officially, decidophobic.
