The intro 

(Listening Comprehension)

I was in Malaysia for 4 days a few weeks ago, and before I left, a colleague of mine said to me, "there is a certain brand of chocolate which could only be bought in Malaysia." She said to me in Cantonese, "啊Ken, 唔洗专登去买㗎喇, 经过先买比我啦." It means 路过才买吧, 不用专程去买. Of course I did 专程去买 because err.... because she was quite good looking. Now, how do you say that in English? The expression is "don’t go out of your way to get it." So my friend would say to me, "Ken, unless you happen to go pass the chocolate shop, otherwise, don’t go out of your way to get it."

You could also apply this expression in other situations. For example, David is a really nice guy, he often goes out of his way to help his friends. But just be careful, if you find yourself always going out of your way to help your friends but neglecting your own needs, you might be suffering from something called the “nice guy syndrome”.
