flip-the-flop

I won RM200 shopping vouchers the other day. So i when to the shop at Pavilion to use it before it expires. FYI, it was a shop that sells hip-hop / street / skaters kind of clothing. Meaning their clothes are slightly bigger and more loose that the normal clothing. And guess what? Their smallest size for t-shirt is M. Of cos it's too loose for me. The i decided to just get their accessories and sundries.

Got myself a sling bag, 2 belts and a Tee. ( it's loose but the graphics is nice ;p ) Went to the counter, and i still have RM30+ left. I pointed at the corner and asked the Chinese sale assistant :

Me : Do you have those flip-flop in size 9?

Him : Harr? Sorry?

Me : D flip-flop有無9號啊?

Him : ( looked at me, still puzzled ) 咩係flip-flop?

When i told my friend about the incident, he only gave me one word as conclusion : PRETENTIOUS!
“拖鞋就拖鞋啦。Flip咩flop唶?扮晒也!“


Do you think i am pretentious?
Cos that's how we call when i was a fashion merchandiser.
Or is it my fault that there's actually difference between slippers and flip-flop?
Do you know?
