SIZE MATTER!

OF COURSE SIZE MATTER...

For a woman living in this distorted world...
Being fat, plump or simply voluptious is a SIN.

Then I made a discovery while traveling between UK, singapore and thailand...
And I call it....The relativity of SIZE.

Ladies out there...
It is time to learn the truth...

Size is relative.

Which means...being a S(small), M(medium), L(large) is NOT definite.

Singapore Size

I am a Medium-Large(M-L) in Singapore...
My boobs will sometimes be M or L depending on the cutting of the clothes or dress...
and my bums is always L...so basically I am a PEAR SHAPE...my friend once commented I am quite "voluptious"...which erm...thanks...I know you all are just being kind...

My bra size(ok folks...just keep this to yourself...)
In singapore...I will buy 80-B(usually)...and QX actually asked me once if I have ever considered a breast-reduction...a WHAT?....no no no...no thanks
I love myself..whatever I am.


UK size

Sorry UK gals...
It is a FACT...that all of you UK girls out there are generally BIGGER in size..
and hence the clothing industry have to adjust to the market trend and produce bigger-size clothes but with undersize label...
Also...they have different labelling system...like size 8, size 10, size 12...size 14..up to size 20 and more...

Size 8 is small...10-12 is medium...14-16 is LARGE..

I am always around size 10-12...
and can wear a size 10 confortably...but sometimes will choose a size 12 becos I like loose clothing...
In UK...I am considered...small-build...
and my boobs are just average or even less than average..

Bra size..
I was a bit surprised that I fit into an 80-A...and 80-B is erm...a bit loose...



Thailand size

Shopping for clothes can be a very traumatising experience...
Or...WORST than traumatising...
it kills all your hopes and joys and destroy you confident...

Yes...they can be DAMN CHEAP...
but what is the point when you can buy as many as you want...
but none of them is your size...

I was shopping one day...saw a nice T-shirt...
but thought it was too tiny...
It was size S...fair enough...S is suppose to be tiny...
fumble about and saw size M...
And...er...still to small...
Size L....something is not right...even though L is larger...but...still SMALL...
and eventually...I tight-fittingly fit into an X-L(extra-large)
which i suspect it's X-L is UK size 8.

DAMN!

And the few embaressing moments...

Once i was at a night market...saw a blouse...was told it was a free size..
try it on...and couldn't button up...

Went into a shop and wanted to buy a dress....
and their shop...DUN HAVE MY SIZE....
The worst of all...
Only the foreign import shops from UK, France and Italy have my size...
which sells clothes as expensive as you can find in UK...in THAI BAHT..which one blouse can cost as expensive as a Thai's one month pay.

while ALL thai-operated shops...DO NOT HAVE MY SIZE...
the only two thai shops with clothes that I can fit into...
One is a shop that specially sell big size clothes for big woman...
the other...IS A MATERNITY CLOTHES SHOP...

I walked into a shop naively and saw a size 38...and thought that is my size...
BUT...size 38 in Thailand is actually a SMALL in singapore...
The lady SHAKE HER HEAD...and say to me in broken-english.."too big"
and took out her measuring tape...to measure my bustline..."too big..."
and measure the dress to show me I was indeed too big for all the dress in her shop...

I gave up shopping for clothes in Thailand...
It is even more depressing than doing nothing in thailand...

Thai girls are generally very slim..VERY VERY SLIM...
my size..is like the size of a married woman with a lot of kids to them...
In another words...I AM FAT HERE.


My Bra size...expectedly...
80-C.


I wish I am in Africa now...

Maybe they will think I am TOO SKINNY...


So folks...

SIZE...DOES MATTER.
In the sense...your size is you...
and be proud of who you are...
Or....should I say...size Doesn't matter...
becos they are relative....
wherever you go....
as long as you learn to love yourself...

Although I constantly say i wanted to go on diet...
that is really for health purposes and
I know I can be healthier by controlling my weight...
also becos so that I can look more proportion and pleasant...


But I am always proud of my 80-A-B-C...
wherever it goes...
and my size S-M-L-XL...
becos that is me.
