I don’t know
somehow I tend to shop a lot
after coming from abroad
regardless of how much shopping I have done
there is always this symptom
ok, I call this a
Post-Vacation Shopping Nuisance (PVSN)
whereby
there is this sudden freedom of shopping
since while I am abroad
there are other considerations on the priority list
such as:
- budget
- luggage allowance
- cost-effectiveness, (I mean carry all the way)
so
once settled back comfortably at home
at a familiar setting
there is this shopaholic symptom
suddenly getting out of hand
a unleash of pressure abroad
oh my
ironic enough
if vacation is treated as a form of pressure
why bothered to travel
okay
leave this point alone
let’s move on to the symptoms
okay
before 10 a.m. in the morning
I was in the mall already
for the free eco-bag at Uniqlo
Early Freebies X Sales Goodies: Uniqlo @ MV
then the journey continued on
at this pretty delightful and enlightening
probably one of the best
not-so-commercialized campaign
at the center court
Mickey the Icon
whereby tenants, artists, celebrities
and other affiliated partners
get to design a Mickey Mouse
and here you are
probably I should cover these in another post
damn
but I can’t help feeling that
probably I shouldn’t waste so much money
entering two Disney Land theme parks
no more Disney Land for me, seriously
except the one in Tokyo, maybe
but of course
there were booths set up
like one was for the purchase of these
customize-able Mickey Mouse
wow, Rm 450 in single receipt
entitles a purchase for Rm 45
and this one
a Mickey Mouse luggage fair
price starting from Rm 399,
I think, I am not too sure
besties is almost tempted into buying one
because she actually drove an empty car here today
but obviously she had got better self-control than me
and she did not suffer from the
Post-Vacation Shopping Nuisance (PVSN)
thank goodness this not something I fancy
although was admiring the cuteness of them
anyway
this is even more awesome right
free hand carrier with the purchase of
Rm 750 from Mango
aha.. that’s not too large a sum
like a dress, a pair of jeans, a bag
or probably a combination of more or less of 7-8 items
provided that,
you are willing to spend that at one go
I have fell victim to that kind of strategy
I mean, I have been a proud owner
of a M&M’s cabin luggage
under a similar scheme
ended up buying clothes at Bossini
which I never did before, and hardly after
the funniest part of all
I had never carried this
M&M’s cabin luggage abroad yet
one is enough!!!
Cotton On at level one
was undergoing renovation
went over to the Nichii next door
with little interests
because never looted anything from here
the one back home has got more
off-season items for sales, usually
someone fell for a bag at Zara
I almost fell, looking at the daring red colour
someone with a more severe brain damage
fell for a baby blue shopper bag at Calvin Klein
someone who claimed that she never bought
things for the sake of the brand
oh my.. this someone who suffers from
Post-Vacation Shopping Nuisance (PVSN)
and she was staring hard
at the other colours available
- Navy blue: too Longchamp-like
- Orange: too Sainsbury-like
- Red: too Chinese-New-Year-Like
- Beige: too freebies-like
- Black: too Calvin-Klein-like, but well it’s a CK
the baby blue was donned on the mannequin
for a reason, right?
this was particularly a long day
with two different shopping partners
one left after another
and I was still going strong
and got texts from mom and housemates
whether I am at home/I am coming home
lunch and dinner
both settled in the mall
two branches of Zanmai
the other one across at Mid Valley
which was known as Pasta Zanmai
basically they serve pasta, pizza
Italian food with Japanese ingredients
like those mushrooms, oysters etc
finally
the loots of the day
after almost 12 hours at Mid Valley malls
the root of all evils
the freebies from Uniqlo
loots from Uniqlo
okay
I don’t really need them
but since they were going on an open-special-price
and I don’t really own any cartoon shirts
on classic Pooh and Donald & Daisy Ducks
this was my toughest struggle
how could I resist the world famous beagle
but I had promised myself not to buy any of these
compiling the whole collection
here on my blog is more than enough
that was what I used to tell myself
I mean, before the one month vacation
this simple yet elegant LBD from Nichii
at 70% off
with beige lining
and a sheer back
this is just a sudden thought
I am not sure whether it will work out fine
turning the dress inside out
and put on a belt
hence there you are
another beige colour dress
overcome with despair
over the loss of my late Gatsy cap
how many miles away he has been with me
London-Abu-Dhabi-Kuala Lumpur
and I lost it on a transit bus right there
when I was almost done with the long journey
you have no idea how sad I was
he has been with me for
the windy and rainy days back at London
a replacement kid
from Bershka
oh my, capturing a photo of your cap
is such a challenge
and that something
which was seriously random
last but not least
and a navy blue polo tee for my dad
no, I did not buy this out of guiltiness
this was the earliest item I put in my basket
he has been growing
not taller, but horizontally
and some of the shirts are not so wearable anymore
I kept seeing him wearing some old stuffs
and actually warned him that
if you gonna wear that
during our backpack or usual outing session
I won’t walk with you for real
oh my
maintaining such as daughter
is really not easy for real
mentally, physically (staying fit)
and more importantly financially
