what recession???

yo yo yo...kl is on sale babes. we need some excuses to perk up the spending habit of the people and hence the kl grand prix sale. yes we can have a city-wide sale in conjunction with the f1 race which will be held in april. it started yesterday on the last day of feb and will only end in april. so what are you waiting for?

shops which normally don't do sale at this period of time are also having one. one such store is adidas originals. i asked the sale assistant and she said, "what to do? bad economy." they usually have theirs at mid-year and end of the year only.

my initial plan to shop at isetan was also dropped after learning that parkson grand has double vouchers promo for bonuslink members. on newspaper yesterday, bonuslink members day was only for a day. the salesperson in parkson told me that it is extended to 3 more days. hence, i got all the cosmetic stuff from parkson grand and got rm20 vouchers for every rm100 spent. (isetan only gives rm10) and besides that, you will also get rm10 voucher for every rm150 spent for other purchases. isetan never gives this.

so yesterday i walked till the shop closed, from about 3.30pm to 10pm. painful leg? what pain? haha...total shopaholic mood man! syiok! but ouch on the purse. anyway, i stay true to the mantra not to buy retail...all stuffs bought yesterday were discounted.

lunch box on the go? well, not mine actually. it was for a colleague who had to rush from bidor to tm without her lunch. the kind of thing i could do on ppl just so i could spend more time shopping...ehehehe. anyway, it was quite a lunch box. rice with stewed duck meat and mushroom and fried egg with bitter gourd. on the right, all the shopping bags left on the floor while we had our seafood platter meal at manhattan fish market for dinner. my hands almost broke from carrying them, luckily i had a few 'assistants'.

clothes! clothes! clothes! that nike tee was accidental. i just had to find a way to finish using my cash voucher, hence that shirt. anyway, it was 50% off. and the ACG shorts was only rm39 from nike sportsland. and ooh...i have another pair of evisu jeans. this time it is bootcut. love the rugged details i.e torn and faded effect. this was not impulsive buy ok. i actually tried it on last year but then let go of the idea. then few months later, i finally got it. so i adhered to the advice of thinking carefully before making a purchase in order not to regret later. ;P and that denim dress too. tried it on last year, and yesterday saw that it had a 60% discount tag on. tunggu apa lagi??

accessories...do i need another pair of sports shoes? err...well, let me have another pair of shoes i can wear to work lah. i have been wearing the pair of mizuno faithfully to work everyday, so let me alternate with another pair. and ooh....don't you love that fossil leather clutch? again, i spotted this clutch last year while shopping for a bag to use for dinner but did not but because it was too expensive (more than rm600). but lucky me, isetan had fossil clearance sale yesterday and the clutch was at 60%. yes...so that is my best buy of the day! below the cluth is fossil necklace. that ring is from najo (an australian brand...they have some really nice sterling jewellery). 50% for that pair of nike socks. u can rarely get their socks at this price now. rm7.95.


aaahh....pamperings. facial steamer to get rid of those dirt hidden in the pores (keep my fingers crossed that it works), twisties and listerine from watsons. supposedly value buy...but the twisties is the same price as outside. slumpdog millionaire the novel...i have orders to buy them. 20% from kinokuniya...only rm27.90. too bad the original one Q&A is selling at more than rm50 now. i am glad wei got ours at around rm30 years ago when it first published. he caught a gem there. and this last bag was the heaviest, all the facial toners, cleansers, moisturisers and masks. that big bottle of clinique clarifying lotion was salon size and it was best buy at rm115. it is really cheap. my first time trying clinique. actually toner is in my shopping list...so i decided to give it a try since i get a good bargain. i also got a free clinique travel size compact powder because i got special invitation from parkson for free skin consultation. this was the real reason why i went to parkson in the first place...to get this free gift. and as u already know, i ended up spending most of my time here.

aaahh....going to fast shopping now for a few months. enough splurge. so shopaholic or what???


and i said goodnight to beanie only at about 1.30am this morning. he couldn't be bothered with my antique taking his photo because he wanted to catch his sleep. wasn't i tired? of course i was but the oscars repeat made me stayed longer on the couch.

end of this week's post. wonder if i have anything more interesting to do next week to beat this. i am going to be quite free. so the wandering mind might come up with something. or do you wanna suggest anything??
