a public holiday
in the middle of the week
I don’t even know why there is one
thought that
after the vacation and dilly dally
this is a good day
to catch up with my work
quietly and peacefully
and I have even planned
what I will cook for the whole day
never thought I would end up at
Mid Valley today
waking up at 8 am
tuning into the Breakfast Show as usual
logged in FB
then found this message
by Her Highness, Queen Atillah
she was asking
whether we should go out
yes!!
we so totally should
being like so close
for almost 6 months
we have never actually
hang out together
during schooldays
out of school compound
and I shall take the opportunity
to introduce her
to my all time favourite mall
Mid Valley
but well
now more like a public transport hub
for me
since I always take bus here
in order to switch to the train
heading down to Bandar Tasik Selatan
for a bus back to Melaka
forget it
in short..
it is a long way to go
therefore
I came out with the 9.20 a.m. bus
while she went from Cyberjaya
reaching Mid Valley right before 11 a.m.
to my horror
in the middle of rushing out
I forgot to insert battery
back to my camera
to me
going out without a camera
is more awful than without a phone
therefore
all the photos taken
were from Atillah’s Blackberry
in conjunction with Raya and Merdeka
the sales was going on
and you can see
people actually shopped
the queue at counters
the handful of shopping bags
you know
sometimes yeah
there is a crowd
but those who actually buy
are not that much
we walked around
her motivation was
to aim for items
then bring her parents
who are coming over
before the Raya break
for me
this is our first outing today
I didn’t plan to shop at all
it is just to hang out
purely recreational purpose
somehow somehow
we ended up in Zara
usually
I enter
just to check out what’s new
for the particular season
or any interesting cross-over
especially the cartoon tees
I always came out empty-handed
since sales is something so rare
rare..
doesn’t mean
it doesn’t happen at all
is it so fortunate
or such a misfortune
for me to
bumped into massive sales at Zara today
the Keep-In-View system went on
all the items I desired for
keep in mind-walk around-reconsider
to avoid impulsive shopping symptom
here were all the items
first and foremost
nude colour heels
definitely
it has been something
I always look out for
yet since I hardly wear heels
this may not be a good investment
the pair of MNG suede black
I got earlier on this year
has never left my home sweet home
not even once
therefore
having second thought is a must
while I was putting on
the other lady who was putting on
some other pairs
were sharply eyeing at them
with competition comes motivation
OMG that happened when
I was trying out the MNG heels too
then I was all tempted to buy
looking around
this was the one and only pair
desperately, suspicious-lookingly
what I did was
to hide it at a dark corner
just in case
if I was really all determined to buy it
second item
a Hanna-Barbara crossover
Yogi bear and Boo Boo
again
I hid it at a corner in the
whole stack of marked-down tops
ransacked and to be ransack
third items
there were a few more left
therefore
hiding up the item is not so necessary
how about this
nautical jacket
so sophisticated
so expensive, too
the New Arrival price
went for lunch
then just wandered around
trying to take my mind off Zara
and guess who did I bump into
without a doubt
these angels are so cute
yet quite pricey
but wait a minute
before that
why was there a backpack
I came out in the morning
with a cloth tote
accidentally, unintentionally
ended up at the sport department of Jusco
telling Atillah about the story
two years back
right here
on how I had a close shave
with my dream sneakers
and ahem
up till today
I could not find back similar one
Puma
a backpack in blue
40% off
please do not tell me
it actually goes well with
my look of the day
then I did not keep this in view
directly bought it
then instantly used it
backpack always comes in handy
during backpacking
that’s why the name: backpacking
right right
afternoon tea
what else but this
before the long journey back
smooth-sailing, I would say
so?
what did I end up buying
back to my beloved camera back home please
directly skipping to loots of the day
I nude colour heels
II blue mini dress
III bermuda shorts with suspender
in the piles of items
noticed it once
but not the right colour and right size
then discovered this particular pair
during the second visit
actually I have been
wanting to try out
this messenger-boy look
still scouting for the right pair of suspender
but isn’t it better
if it comes together with the pants
fit in perfectly, well-buttoned in place
and it is detachable
to be worn as everyday item
so I accidentally found this
in substitute for the Yogi Bear shirt
which I hid at a corner
ransacked for so many rounds
all I found is L size
which doesn’t look as nice
CSI deduction:
guess the person who got it
was holding the L size piece
then she found the M
which is more fitting
hence throwing the L
back into the sea
and fled with my
not-so-well-hidden M
it’s okay
it’s just fate
IV Puma fitness backpack
why is it so awesome
beside the 40% discount
my huge bottle fits in there
and hey
sometimes I can even put an umbrella in there
it can be hand-carried
if you just do not feel like shouldering it
it is so comfortably light
waterproof
the inner side
which gives a soft oceanic touch
compartments all over
even with the ring to
attach a bunch of keys or something
dessert-story time
the suspender comes with the INDITEX tag
yup it is the mother group for Zara
the top 5 clothing retailer world wide
actually
we met a guy on plane
with the same INDITEX tag
well
the whole world knows it’s Zara
and we met again
5 days later
on the same flight again
how on earth could we recognized him
the HUSH PUPPIES bag
isn’t it so freaking obvious
the brand mentality
at this part of the world
impress people with the brands
Zara plastic bag for sales
the girl queue-ing up in front of me
spent rm 89 on a plain shirt
with Zara written in glittery letters
she got a paper bag
I spent considerable amount
on discounted items
all I got is trash bags
oh should I just keep it for littering
for special occasions
so that people actually know I buy Zara
do we really buy products
for the sake of the brand
and showing it off
that’s so unbearable
and I actually have a friend
who does that
so freaking disgusting
and it is a HIM, as well
for me
I will definitely buy
marked-down items only
style and price would be given
higher priority than brands
just to show you a simple example
the pair of pants which costs Euro 25.95
first landed in Malaysia, RM 159.90
then being marked down to RM 139.90
second round at RM 99.90
till I got it for RM 69.90
the same goes to the blue mini dress
made a debut at RM 119.90
then fell to RM 99.90
further plunging down to RM 69.90
and finally landed at my place for RM 49.90
the heels ?
RM 279
down down down down
ultimately I paid less than RM 100 for them
anyway
finally
no matter how cheap they are
this trip still costs me a fortune
and hope it can last me quite awhile
until the next shopping post to appear
good day
and happy shopping
