pe shorts size xxxl?

Alright I may have gained some weight as compared to the year before but a xxxl pe shorts? The bookshop finally got the stock of the long awaited pe attire. As usual, long queues were seen as students squeezed through the crowd to get their hands on the limited stock that was brought in. Not wanting to fight with the pre- pe lesson crowd, I skipped the thought of purchasing the pe attire during my first half hour break.

The next one was at 3.30pm. The bookshop was still quite crowded with students even at that time. My turn soon came and I told the auntie that I wanted a size 40 house shirt (thinking that the shirt comes in number sizes - 1st mistake) and also pe shorts. The PE shirt was down to two sizes, 38 & 44, both which doesn't fit me as I wear size 40 => (I didn't buy it). I paid up for the shirt and shorts and stuffed them in my bag as I walked away from the bookshop (2nd mistake - never check the sizing.)

Now at 9.27pm, I finally decided to open up to check the fittings of my new house shirt and pe shorts. The pe shorts looked very baggy and indeed to my horror:

The house shirt was a medium sized shirt. Rather small for a medium.. guess I'll have to get them changed tmr..
