Shopaholic freak


I am such a shopaholic freak when there are sales and when I see extremely unique clothing that attracts my eyes. There are so many clothes that I want to buy. I promised 'the boyfriend' that I will stop shopping until my next semester break. How ironic right!? I can never step into shopping malls with a load of cash in my hands because I would buy whatever I like without even thinking. Sometimes I think I have bipolar disease (in shopping sense of course =S).

A simple question that I always ask myself.....

MIND OR APPEARANCE???

Do you want to be a beauty with brains or only a beauty?? What is the point of having the best fashion sense? What benefit do you get with all the fancy clothes? 'The boyfriend' always ask me this question. Hoping one day that I would realize that all these are just a waste of money. He kept telling and assuring me that if I do not get that something now, in the future, there will be much nicer ones compared to the current one. Well, stubborn as a donkey, I just wouldn't listen and insist on buying the clothes that I want.

I even ask myself whether am I studying the right course? I used to think of venturing into fashion designing but my family wouldn't allow me because they think that it is not a professional career and it is difficult to earn especially in the Malaysian industry. Well, without further questions, I gave it up and started thinking about medical or accounting. Alas, I chose accounting and that is what I am doing now. Professional course as it is; every field of work needs hard work, intelligence and creativity. Hmmm....I am a lefty and most people said that lefties are creative. ROFL I definitely do not see myself as one even though I use my right brain to think compared to the normality of left brain thinking.

I am sure he is very disappointed that I have this impulsive buying attitude. Gosh....got it all after my holidays to London and Paris. GOTCHA!! The known fashion cities in the world. Strolled Champs-Élysées and Avenue Montaigne and the busy Oxford and Regent Streets. Ended up with bags of Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana. I am such a failure when it comes to controlling my spending on items that I cannot resist. Now, at this very moment, my head is spinning and spinning, thinking about the clothes that I want to buy. I think I need a therapy!!!

STYLE IS FOREVER."

Vintage lover


I am so confused and I disappointed the person that I love the most. Thanks to 'the boyfriend' for having so much patience in me.

I HATE SHOPPING BUT I LOVE IT AT THE SAME TIME!!!!

Anyways, last weekend, I followed my uni trip to Crowne Plaza Mutiara Hotel located at the heart of K.L. for the ACCA Career Fair 2008. The reason I went?? Not for shopping obviously but it was to gain exposure on the firms available and the opportunities and requirements by each firms. Since the hotel was near to Bukit Bintang, lunch was definitely cheaper in Times Square compared to Pavillion. So, we were left there for shopping time by ourselves.
The three of us ( YC, Yleng and I) went to have lunch at a restaurant called 'Teppanyaki'. Salmon not too bad but salty and the amount of 'tau-ge' that was given was so much I had difficulty finishing them. Anyways, Chris came to meet me up. So, he was 'forced' to join us for our shopping sessions. I apologize Chris if there were moments where I suddenly got attracted to clothes and left you there alone.
YC suggested we go to Pavillion since it is like the best malls around that area so....the 4 of us walked there. Well, not much of a hassle except...YC and I were both wearing killer heels. No pain, no gain huh?? As usual, the first stop for me would definitely be Topshop. I love their clothing lines because I find them very vintage-gy. Hmmm....picked a blue dress from Kate Moss's collection for her. We both tried out our individual dresses. I LOVE MINE!!! Yleng loved hers too but she thinks that it didn't look too good on her.
Basically, I think we entered Topshop about 3 times. First time was about the dresses for Yleng and I...Second was Yleng trying on a polkadot dress and later on YC tried too. But I took belts and shawls to accessorize her LOL! The final time was when YC just knew that I had this special discount on my birthday month so she decided to go in again and started searching and picking every clothes to try. I would say...she looked good in those clothes that she picked. HAHA....she was the 'model' of the day.
We walked around Pavillion until it was 5.05pm and they were supposed to depart at about 5.15pm. What else? We all rushed back to Times Square. Yleng as usual....the fastest among us. She always walks so fast like chasing for train LOL!! The funny part was....YC and I were walking at the same pace because our legs were hurting. Thanks Chris for accompanying us back there and had to walk back to J.W Marriott Hotel again. It rained so heavily just as I crossed the road to enter 'the boyfriend's' car in front of Sg. Wang's entrance. YC was still walking when Yleng had already entered the bus. Damn fast right??
I'm still curious. I took so many dresses but none suits her. Well, no worries Yleng...I will figure out something the next time we go shopping. Must get a dress that suits you perfectly. Don't believe that I cannot.
Anyways, I stayed the night with 'the boyfriend' because I needed to get my textbook that I reserved in MPH. So, since I was in Kl, go shopping la!!
Not very good news because....I wanted to buy 2 dresses from Topshop. Best part was...I already shopped so much and I still want to get that 2 dresses. Sighs.....Why?? Because vintage is the new pink!!

And it reminds me.....Quote of the day by YC

"PINK IS THE BLACK!"

Both of us laughed when she said that because she was supposed to say...."Pink is the new BLACK". ROFL!!


Some weekends are happy but not for all because some would be having a bad weekend. Well, something unexpected happened to that friend and I understood how he felt. I only hope that....he would know how to think and move on with his life. I gave all my advices but in the end, the decision is in your hands. But no matter what it is, you yourself know what is best for you. You can always message me if you need someone to talk (provided I'm not asleep la =S).


Hmmm....anyways, we didn't take much picture because the mission was to 'SHOP'!!! Yleng faster send me the pictures...I want to edit!!

In the meantime, only got this pictures taken by my not-so-awesome-cam-phone. Non-edited because I want to go to bed already la...Tomorrow got class from 8am-4pm =(



thanks to 'the boyfriend' for being so patient with my shopaholic behavior
