an 'exciting' shirt

oh, how different today was compared to yesterday.

yesterday i was still sick.
and today, i am better. not even a sneeze the whole day.
managed to go jogging at proton city too in the evening. mom and aunt tagged along. was so afraid the rain which came all of a sudden at 4.30p.m. would spoil the plan. luckily, it stopped at a quarter past 5. running up and down the slopes was tough. will go 2 days later.....the day i need to wash my hair. well, a little bit of water-saving is no harm right?

anyway.......the gist of the day is this:

was screaming on fb for help. smsed all the way to england for yunli's help. all just for a tee-shirt.
alas, help came.......but not from the united kingdom. just like the h&m and lanvin's collaboration, my help also need to come from 2 countries: germany and malaysia. ;P

this collection is available on 23 nov (today) from 7a.m. gmt onwards. i tried to log in the website an hour before that.....and a maintenance notice came up. tried tried tried....until i could get into uk's site....and found that the tee shirt i wanted was sold out in my size (s). it was already 20 mins past 7a.m. then. so never mind....maybe i would go for an M. try to check out with that one tee, and found that, i needed to have the same billing address as the delivery address. so there was no way i could use my credit card to buy and send it to yun's. that was when i smsed her. was so afraid i would wake her up. when she replied saying that she would do it for me, the website was down again. this collection is really great!

so i quickly thought of another alternative- aunt.....who resides in germany but is right now in my house!!!! saviour!!! could not get into germany's website pulak!!!! another maintenance notice came up. wait.....................................................................................................................................................................................
one hour had passed since the collection was launched for sale online. would i still get the tee-shirt in my size??
made a u-turn and checked uk's website- sold out!!!!

so nervous and exited and agitated at the same time. got into germany's website. all in deutsche! hentam! guessed my way through. aunt left her credit card with me (billing and delivery address: same) as she had promised to bring grandma to visit her friend in town.

got my tee, my size! and many of the items were still available unlike in uk's website. germans are not as fashionable or fashion crazy as brits???
but....damn!! i don't understand the long instructions when it came to checkout page! what was i suppose to click? i only knew pay by visa. then i guessed they wanted my aunt's birthday to verify that she is 18 and above to use that card. after that, i was lost!!!!

sob sob sob! called my aunt!!! she was in town with grandma but unluckily (fortunately for me!!!), grandma's friend had already left for kl....so yippee!!! i offered my chauffeur service to ferry them home ASAP.

zoom zoom...in the rain somemore......and reached home. consulted aunt and we went through the transaction together. finally....................................................................................................................................................................................................
can breathe more slowly.....i got the tee shirt i wanted!! my size!!! 35Euro plus postage. hallelujah!

am still keeping my fingers crossed till that parcel arrives at aunt's house. don't think they are sending it out so soon. i think i will get it early december...1 week! oh the torture.
and when will i get it back in malaysia??? i wonder how much it is to send it back huh....hehehe.....

i hope i managed to do everything correctly on h&m's website and there is nothing wrong with the purchase. please please please......

does the tee-shirt look familiar??? ;P

ok, she above is not the main reason why i want the tee ok. ...... ....er....but maybe it is a pushing factor lah. but the tee is really nice right? i also got comme des garcons collection with h&m previously. got help from my cousin in germany at that time. hmmh....destined to get my stuff from germany.

well, h&m is going to open in singapore next year...so will find someone to help me then.

so i guess i have to thanks ppl who give me moral support in successfully ordering this shirt lah- sihan for supporting my choice ;P, yunli for generously lending me her address and volunteering to buy it for me when i could not get it right, shyan ching and peng peng for offering their help on fb, and finally aunt and her credit card.

you can go check out the collection on http://www.hm.com if you are interested. i think the germany website still has men's clothings on sale and some accessories :P

*cis...only thought of google translate just now. it would have reduced a lot of my anxieties earlier if i had thought of it.
