Shopping Spree!!
Thursday, December 22, 2005
The Year End Sales comes along every year and with it comes great joys and discounts. So to keep up with the Jones, i went to mid valley, 1-utama and sg wang plaza and the local SS2 pasar malam three days consecutively. This is not an easy feat for any normal XY chromosome human like me. My expenses exceeded what i budgeted for my weekly spending and i am now desperately broke. Below is a summary of my personal experience in these 3 malls.
1utama: This crazy place recently extended and introduced a whole new wing. I somehow felt it was a little too big as i seem to have not covered the whole complex although staying there for almost 6 hours. A totally embarassing incident occured while i was doing my christmas shopping, While in Hush Puppies, i was scrumaging through the stack of clothes desperately trying to find a bargain. Then, i found this nice pair of long pants that was reasonaly priced. I then proceeded to try it out in the changing room. After trying a size L i was amaze that it would not fit and subseqently tried the XL, also with the XL, i felt somewhat "restrain" in the crotch region. I ask my cousin for her opinion and she muttered, "Yea, it looks allright, not too bad". So with her "constructive" comments, i decided to buy the pants and ask the sales assistant for a new pants. The sales assistant asked if i wanted it gift wrap and i said (in pure Russell peters slang) "NOoooOOoOO!....... this is for me". As soon as i muttered those forsaken words, her glance changed drastically, she looked at me in sheer astonishment. I knew instantly something was horribly wrong. I asked her whats wrong and she replied in these 3 words i'll love to forget "THis is Womans".
p/s: whats in this blog stays in the blog unless granted permission by author. Failure to do so would consequently mean breeching the Privacy Agreement Act and if found guitly, subjects might face up to 10 years of dressing as the opposite sex.
Sg Wang Plaza: Damn...this place is infested with the a whole lot of "la la" girls. Chicks that only people like jason would go after. Clad with their colorful, gypsy tops,numerous piercings and multi length hair, these would be the typical look. Products here are also a little dodgy and pricy. Needless to say, i didnt buy anything from here.
SS2 market: Laden with all the food money can buy,,,,i had a wonderful time sampling all the different varieties of cuisine. My personal favourite is the fried mushroom. DVD's and VCD's galore as well. People here are friendly and i also sharpen my bargaining skills saving me a total of almost $0.50 cent.
Mid Valley: In my opinion, the best place to shop for clothes and what not. Although 1-u would be the best to lepak. I bought some shoes and apparels here and had some tasty kenny rogers chicken. This was my second time here this trip and obviously this trip was more successful due to my ability to move.
All in all, Life is good here, i trust that you ppl in NZ would have utmost fun shopping in Botany and westfield....Merry christmas guys and a very very happy new year....
