In Singapore, even in my time when I was studying from primary school through junior college, there was this trademarked shirt that most PE teachers wear. When I was studying PE at the PE college, I bought a few too, in a range of colours. But they were made of cotton and had since been condemned.
Recently, my ex-classmates began to take orders for a new batch of dri-fit material PE shirts and so I ordered and have been wearing them. Thing is, because it's such a familiar-looking shirt, everyone who has gone to school would have recognise it (including the aunties and uncles at the coffee shop). I feel very conscious when I wear it outside of school especially when I look a bit older and not as fit as I did when I was younger. So I carry an extra set of T shirt with me wherever I go.
Also, I am fond of changing out of my shoes to my flip flops in the car whenever I reach home after work. In the morning, when I take the lift down on my way to work, I feel embarrassed walking into the lift looking like a poser auntie wearing the t-shirt to the market (with my flip flops). Big sigh. And when I wait at the lights, cross the road to the car park, most people look. I wonder what they are thinking. Bigger sigh.
The point of this post? I am not very proud of being seen in my PE shirt. hehe.
