“Priceless” X Priceless: Dream Bag Came True…

went Dataran Pahlawan mall as usual

on a Saturday afternoon

with my grandpa

the last trip was almost one month back

Good Old Talk X Angmo Stalk: Our Saturday Walk

oh man

how time flies

 

almost reaching the fountain area

his three friends were already hanging out there

one even walked up to greet him

if there was only one or two friends

I might have joined them for a quick chat

but 4 old gentlemen and me

appeared weird enough

 

so I went for a walk on my own

updating myself and you fellow with the

“marketing information” around

 

2 pm

first stop, Bossini

thank goodness

there are no sign of

Bossini X M&M’s: Hohoho! Be Happy Kidult Collection

and also those good collectibles from

Bossini X M&M’s: Pop-up Store

all they have is

Bossini X M&M’s: Hohoho! Be Happy Kiddy Collection

and the free gift

is the off-season luggage

which I already grabbed

the Halloween crossover

Bossini X M&M's: Hohoho! Be Happy Kiddy collection

 

I don’t wear red all my life

and I hate to see

those Mango babes in red too

persistently judgmental me

no choice

but this is a good budget for X’mas display

no décor no x’mas tree no nothing

2.44 pm

it’s time to take a break

walking round and round

without the wants, needs and

more importantly the ability

to buy anything

is embarrassing

I mean people would notice

not to say that I look outstanding or something

a girl walking alone

3 rounds and above

thankful to find a bench

 

my fellow-benchers

tourists waiting for assembly time

sitting with two ladies

 

and I know

this is damn bad of me

Miss Santa kept walking round and round

seducing and dragging kids

to a specific playground at the concourse

well…

salute her

if I were to take up this job

I would rather be Mr. Santa

at least people would not be able

to recognize me

after the beard has been put on

and before observing her for that long

I thought she is a shopper like us

I am sure the others would think the same too

poor girl

snow boots

 

luckily

she has got an assistant too

but more comfortably in

jeans, polo tee and sneakers

Miss Santa and assistant

 

this is at least the 5th times

I took photos of these pairs of shoes

well couple shoes

which just look natural enough

but actually on their own

just separate the two pairs

they look plain enough

well…

maybe this is the little truth in life

there’s no Mister / Miss Perfect in this world

but if you have found your other half

you will compliment each other

making a perfect match

and you gonna take the walk together

down the journey

cheers

Hush Puppies couple shoes

 

2.53 pm

Levi’s

why am I looking

I never buy any pair of L jeans

in my life

just feel that it is overrated

just to check on the After Dark collection

why? why? why?

Levi's After Dark collectionSkinny is the New Black

 

I did’t see him

a little disappointed

but on the brighter sight

who knows if he is there

he may tempt me into the store

and half consciously come out with something

Shawn Yue: We Rule the Night

 

then wandered to Guardian

wow check this out

free bag with purchase of  RM 30

Dove / Sunsilk / Clear range

free clutch @ Guardian

 

really really tempted this time round

RM 30 for the bag alone

maybe I would have bought it already

and now it comes free

but… forget it

I can’t find what I want

and the gift set is so so

strategically priced at RM 29.90

that means even if I buy this

I have to grab another item

for the sake of the free gift

and I realized something

this set used to come in cosmetic bag

but now..

just paperbox

Dove Gift Set at RM 29.90

 

okay so I have to give up

last pic before I went

no more see-you, love

 

went checked out on my grandpas

the “Big Four” were still happily chatting away

decided to cross over to Mahkota Parade

so that they will have more time to catch up

X'mas display outside Dataran Pahlawanthe red blooded woman suddenly bleended into the scenetheme: Oceanseahorse snow sledge

 

pretty much like these

because they always combine the elements I like

last year it was X’mas in a summer day

Santa with shades and Hawaiian boardshorts

singing on a guitar and bbq-ing

and this time round the blue sea

pearl and coral underneath the X'mas tree

 

wow

all of the sudden

new stores popping up at the mall

extension at the main wing

this kinda reminded me of

the Coach outside Pavillion

but this is just Bonia

Coach at Melaka, is it ever possible?

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

 

and no surprise

opposite the Bonia

Carlo Rino.. Opening Soon

 

looks like shopping industry

is picking up in Melaka

woohoo…

sorry I never know how to pronounce this

just know it as a French originated brand

specializing in natural high-end products

sincerely hope that it will last long

and more international names will be attracted

into our small little town here

and opposite there is a new H20+ store too

L'Occitane en Provence, Melaka

 

back to Guardian

tempted tempted

mini clutch

 

then back to Dataran

already 4pm now

and I have even toured

Giant and Carrefour supermarkets

of the both malls already

grandpa and gang were still around, chatting

 

so..

I took the risk

to cross the road

I never know how to cross road

all my life

the principle behind:

just follow the crowd

heading to Guardian

the Guardian at Mahkota

simply have more products

than the one at Pahlawan

the dangerous road crossing

 

how can I don’t buy it

this is a Guardian’s exclusive

and it comes in three colours

black is the nicest one, of course

to buy or not to buy

 

phoned up PG

and bingo

he is using Sunsilk at home

so he has promised to

buy the shampoo from me

so I can’t wait no more

perfect match

 

caused a long queue at the counter

because the black colour I requested for

was not available there

the guy went to the store to dig for it

yet he came back empty-handed

so I decided to have the display set

so you are mine, ultimately

 

while I was picking my products

a lady was checking out the bag

while I was making payment

that lady was speaking to the cashier staff

whether she can exchange for a black one

since she got a golden one, earlier then

while I was waiting to collect my bag

it’s her again

requesting for the black bag

but.. boo too late

“hitam ah mui tu sudah ambil”

“the girl has already got the black one”

sorry aunty

humbly thin yet shiny metal chain

 

if ultimate dream of a girl is to

own a super luxurious bag

then Chanel 2.55

would be my first choice

Lily Allen's Chanel 2.55

 

I loathe monograms bag

in common terms: repeated logo

and nowadays

there are so many counterfeit around

who cares if you are using the real thing

LV Monogram Etoile City Bag

 

on top of that

no matter how expensive a bag can go

I don’t believe any girl

will use it for life

therefore I am perfectly happy

with my loot today

under RM 50 for all
