pizza- alexa time

pigging time tonight.

mom and aunt went for a wedding banquet.
grandma went for her friend's birthday dinner which is held in a hall.
dad was booked to drive someone somewhere.

so who else is home??
just grandpa and me and the dog.

the dog has been fed.....now it is our turn.

burp! one large cheesy lava pizza from pizza hut. paid using rm20 cash voucher and so we had to top up a little. anyone wants to share? i think i will be having pizza for lunch tomorrow too. it is really very cheesy. cheese in every bite you take. i can still smell the cheese now. grandpa and i both have 2 pieces each. so we still have half a pizza left.


and now....let me get the bag issue over and done with.

yup, it's a mulberry and i guess you guys would have guessed that it is alexa now.

it all started with that trip to klcc. they have a mulberry store there and i walked in because i was looking for collonil spray for the bag. damn! they never stock enough here in malaysia and they don't have any stock again. can mulberry please please stock them so we can take care of our bags.

and so after being pissed that they did not have the spray in store, the eyes started to wander to the display area and .....well......the eyes saw alexa oversized in gunmetal sparkle tweed. yup that is the colour.

so the sales assistant got it down and i started 'trying' the bag. like the sparkly detail on the leather and how it is not as heavy as other leather. you don't have to worry that it will get any scratches.

however, the oversized alexa is too big. it will be perfect for work where you can throw in all sorts of documents inside with other things....but definitely not for casual trips. the bigger your bag is, the more you will tend to chuck in. then you will have to lug the bag around and end up with stiff shoulders.

my friend, dear aniq, asked the sales assistant if they had the alexa in another of their outlet. that was when all hell's broke loose.
yes, it was available in their garden midvalley newly-reopened store and there was only 1!! they don't really bring in many pieces for one design. and it was on 30% discount.
ting-ting-ting!! could hear the bell in my head then.

so the next day, had the opportunity to go to kl again because i had to pick up my aunt. in the afternoon after picking her up, we headed to midvalley. all the parking zones were full! crazy! all did not allow any entrance....even the valet parkings were full. luckily one spontaneous attempt to turn into midvalley cititel bore fruit. the valet parking full sign was out but they still parked if there were cars going out. i was lucky, there was just one empty slot. so rm15 went to the car jockey. i had been circling the megamall for almost 20 mins, outside. phew!

destination- straight to mulberry.

it was a small one but the sales assistant on duty there recognised me from klcc when i asked for the gunmetal sparkle tweed alexa which was on display behind the counter. i am not that famous ok.
she was on leave yesterday and she happened to drop by the store in klcc when i was in. i guess my blue dress and yellow bag caught her attention.....yes, she described what bag i carried and what dress i wore. anyway, the klcc store only had 3 of us with the other SAs that time.

so i started 'trying' the alexa and scrutinising every part of the bag again and getting the 'feel' of the bag.
then another lady walked in. she had with her the oak (brown) alexa bought by her husband and she would like to exchange it for another darker colour. how lucky! in my hand was the gunmetal and on display was a black. the SA took down the black for her but of course she did not like it. she was attracted to the one in my hand but since i had already decided to buy the bag then (actually the night before the decision was made), she browsed the store instead.

so imagine huh, if i got there like 10 mins late, i would not have to spend all my money on that bag. would i scream in frustration? no, i won't. really. not kidding here. i would just say, 'just my luck or no luck.'

well, anyway, as you know, the rest is history. i got the bag.

it was already not on mulberry's website but you can still find it at start-london website. they show the normal retail price there. although my bag is on 30% discount here in malaysia, it was just slightly cheaper than the retail price shown in england.

no regret ok. haha..comforting myself for buying the most expensive bag ever in my life.

so here goes the rest of the pictures-

a zipped compartment inside.

i have to google it because......the photo i took with my handphone turned out this way:

well, you see the bag in the real light here. love the turnlock. love the straps. love the leather braided chained handle.

now- stop the shopping. mom still does not know. she will shout the house down i am sure. the bag will be wrapped and locked for a while. it will come out to see daylight when the time is right.
AMEN.
