The journey of a thousand miles might begin with a single step - but with me, you'd better hurry up on those steps if you'd want to catch up with me. Especially during sales time.
Ooh doesn't the word sales just put a spring in your step?
Obviously not something Calvin thought of when he decided to come along with me on a celebratory trip down under to Singapore. No doubt ten minutes in a nature walk would leave me exhausted - but leave me in a street full of malls and it's quite possible that I can walk a full 12 hours nonstop. Becky Bloomwood - that infamous shopaholic - ain't got nothing on me.
A fact that didn't impress Calvin very much.
Calvin : Are we there yet?
Paul : There is no there. Ooh, look 50% for that Tibetan stool!
Calvin : Where?
Paul : To your left. Let's go there. Oh wait, look there! 70% for that paisley shirt!
Calvin : That is on the opposite side of the five-lane freeway.
Paul : Yeah, let's take the underpass.
Calvin : Too far. Leave me to die here.
And that was while he still had breath enough to make a decent reply.
After several hours of rushing in and out of stores, I turned around to find Calvin looking somewhat close to a shocked trauma victim. Poor fella. Almost felt imperative to shoot some high-dose adrenaline into him.
Reason enough for him to spend an hour resuscitating himself every night in the bathtub.

We can sort of envision a scene where you and the Chief go shopping while Calvin and us sit in a nice tea shop sipping iced fruit teas and eating sandwiches waiting for the both of you to finish.

Nah, he probably fell asleep in the tub, ban.
Why are you sitting in the tea shop and not shopping, janvier?
Definitely will have your shoes on fire, aaron.
Unfortunately not that many cute salesmen to peep at, ngoh!
Precisely. So many places, so little time, happy!
