I'm in store, I'm in store, I'm in store, I'm in store....(adapted from Counting Crows' Accidentally in Love)..
Speaking of "accidentally" - I've met and encountered several accidents that happened while shopping.
1) My sister was so busy shopping that I was practically neglected so I was just walking around out of sheer boredom, and do people watchin when it can be rather enjoyable, looking at people so damn kan-cheong during the sales season. So this boy was walking with his parents and probably inhaled crack when he saw a mannequin with Swarovski bra and undies on, and he somehow just ran over the mannequin and it fell on the boy. His mom screamed, so did the sales assistant in charge of that particular bra type - and the boy's father was so embarassed he didn't know what to do, and eventually picked up the mannequin with the unhooked bra, and even actually adjusted the set of lingerie on the mannequin.
2) We were at Hush Puppies and my sister was shopping for work shoes, and it was almost at the end of the shopping trip and I was exhausted like never before, just from shopping. So I was sitting down and looking at the bags on display, which was pretty sweet, until sweet turned bitter like nver before! A bloody piece of decor(turns out to be some brick, disguised in HushPuppies brand name) suddenly just flipped, somersaulted from the top shelf of the display shelves, and landed directly on my toe, and landed on the ground, creating much unwanted attention from fellow shoppers. Not only did my leg went bengkak, I couldnt even walk and I am still limping from it till today. Ishhhh...
3) I bumped into several Osim buntings and ran over a few people due to the amount of idiots actually cramming the shopping mall. God, this is total eyesore, and I couldnt even see Osim buntings. 3/4 of people in shopping malls are just walking around for the sake of it, not even shopping properly. Pisses me off man!!
So yup, highlights of my holiday would be Jasmine's farewell lunch at Kim Gary. It was simple delectable, the food. Company was great. The same old insane Jasmine and Bebe, the much sane-r Ashley and Deb...ahhh...sad Deb had to elave earlier cos we got drugged baby - by Dome drinks. If you noticed from Ashley's blog, its got more details on that. But it was a good day. Got Jasmine Christmas pressies, got the rest of the girls Christmas Cards.
Yesterday was hard-core shopping with my sister at MidV and my sister went to KLCC to get Coach handbags. So there she was, having me write down all the things she want to buy on a piece of paper, and ticking off the ones accomplished. The 12 hour shopping ordeal turns out to be a flop - ended up shopping for unneccessities. We've got 20 needed stuff, sis ended up only buying 5 off the list. Haih...But nevertheless, sis got me some things I like. She got me a Bombshell fitness pants, which looks so multi-purpose, you can never go wrong with it even when you are going to work, cos it does look like a work's slacks. Also you can go to bed with it, and work out with it.
And so after a whole day of shopping, and the movie which I'll never ever go again, if the genre is similiar to another 5 good Hindi movies that has gone to the box office, we went to makan at Chili's, out of hunger and out of retail lust. We had Triple Play for starters, our idiotic server can't even speak proper English, bodo! And main course was Lamb Shoulder for me, and Cajun Chicken for sister, and to top it all off we had Molten Choc cake. At the end of the day I was so stuffed, and with the hurt toe and numb right feet, I was literally going to die, waiting to return home and fall asleep like a snooze-log. And I finally did, in one piece. Thought with my leg like that, I couldnt cross roads and might get run over by some truck whatsoever.
Yesterday, left home at 8am to catch Happy Feet at 12pm in MidV. Wore a very pretty top I got from Sydney and a print skirt I bought in Zara a very long time ago and would be the first time wearing it out. I left home, walked for like 15 mins when it was only a 5 mins walk to the nearest bus stop that leads me to town. Not only I have a hurt feet, I had a torn muscle, unattended, thinking that it would not cause me problems, since I've never had pains after the tear. So I was trying to walk with an ultimate speed, but I couldnt keep up to the pace because if I put pressure and strain my feet from power walking, I would be suffering to death just from doing what everyone does everyday - walking. And to add salt to spoil the day, I have to go through several not-so-safe and lonely paths alone, and I wouldnt want my life to end there by being murdered by so sicko randoms. So I had to push myself to walk really fast to avoid that lonely place. Besides, there are no other laternative routes to get to the enarest bus stop. So more work for me. I'm sure you guys must be thinking I live in scaryville. I don't actually. My neighbourhood is pretty serene and peaceful. Lets go back tot he outfit blunder of it all. My bloody skirt, when I lat tried it, it felt like almost an eternity ago, it was just fitting, just what I wanted, when I start doing power walking, it can just fall off like a feather burshing your cheeks slightly while falling. So in total awkwardness, I was pulling my skirt up and holding my bag on another hand and managed to get to uni to submit the soft copy of my thesis. But i was dying and I needed to get to MidV to buy a new pair of bottoms. so I reached mv by cab, and dont let me go there. The cab driver was coughing every second like he was suffering from tuberculosis and I was cringing to the fact to just scream at him and hurry up cos I have a wardrobe crisis and my bloody taxi fare is going to shoot up!!! Finally I reached mv, rushed to the nearest shop I could see, it was Guess. I went to Guess cos last time they had pretty good sales with great deals, which I missed. Found this perfectly fit Melrose jeans and went to pay for it. While paying for it 2 blunders happened. My skirt fell off (really, but thank god no one was shopping there that time) and also the guy told me there was no fucking sale!! Geramnyerrrrr!!!!!!!!!! But really, I cant afford to run to another shop to buy anotehr pair of bottoms, and I never bloody thought to just buy a belt and run it over my bloody skirt(this is how fast my mind solves probelms and thinks wisely), until Ashley told me, like 6 hours after this bloody drama. Aiyooorrr...so I bought a Guess jeans for dont wanna tell you how much for. Only Deb knows it for sure. Aiyyyooooh...I was feeling guilty the whole day man. I mean, the jeans is comfortable, stylish, sexy, ohh la la sorta garment, but the price I paid for it *shoots herself* nevermind...nevermind...everyone learns from mistakes. FFFUUUCCCKKK!!!! ITS A BLOODY BIG MISTAKE THAT COULD BE AVOIDED. *slaps forehead*
After changing into the jeans, I went to grab my Happy Feet ticket, and then only I had to see Diesel la, with cheaper quality jeans as well. Bodoh is means BODOH MAN!! If you want to call people BODOH, the author of the regretful post is the first class example. *seals BODOH on her forehead and ships herself to a muddy sty and drowns herself there* While waiting for the show to start, I had lunch at McDs, went for the movie which put a permanent smile on my face. Mumble is so me. Bodoh but cute!! Hahahahahahaha. *envisions herself a baby penguin* Awwwww....I even shed a few tears for some very touchy parts. So me..or probably I changed myself into -inhabitants of the south pole mode- It was an entertaining watch.
After that, I just walked around, got myself a pair of Skechers and for sister some gift set from L'occitane. And then I realised that I've punished my ATM above the limit, so I decided to just wind down for the day to Coffee Bean and a book I got from MPH. It's Kiran Desai's new book, the on she won an award for. So far it has been a pretty interesting read. Sipping my belgian choc ice blended and munching my choc chip muffin was heavenly and rejuvenating, after retail blunders accomplished. Read the book until Ashley arrived at about 5pm plus. Sat and talked and waited for Deb to showed up. Deb arrived and we just sat and talked until about 7:30pm we took a cab to bangsar.
Dined at Saravana Bhavana for authentic Indian vegetarian food. Mostly of Anglo-Indian food which I'm not used to (I mean still shame on me, cos even Deb and Nick knows more about all these than I do, fact I'm being Indian) But it was an enjoyable meal with great company, its just that my appetite was not as good as its supposed to be, partially cos of the bloody jeans la!!! So bodoh!! arrrggghhh!!! Best part of it was the rasam and kulfi...power to the max man! There's more on
Deb's blog Took a train back home, and chatted to Nick about the food we had, he loves kulfi like anything, just like Deb.
Came home, chucked all my stuff and went to bed!!
And now I'm here..god knows what I'll be up to...BUT DEFINITELY NO MORE SHOPPING, uncless really necessary.
Its not as bad as you allt hink. I had a great time, I just made mistakes which I'm not too happy about and I let it bother me. sigh.
