My wishlist

Before I leave my blog news-less for perhaps another few weeks (which I’ll try to avoid), I’d like to add something here while I still have the urge and time to do so. This time, please allow me to venture (I mean, crap) into Fashion & Entertainment.

I went to Times Square on Friday and stepped my feet for the very first time in SUB (a clothing store). I’ve visited Padini Concept Store for plenty of times but the reason why I never visit, or at best to patronize SUB is that most of the apparels are in white or black. This gives me the impression that the clothes are costly and they are far beyond my reach.

Nevertheless, I’ve successfully made a few rounds inside the store. What I have to say is, the shirts I saw in the shop are those I’ve been seeking! From casual wear to formal shirts, I couldn’t resist wishing to own a few pieces of them. I simply grabbed a formal top and cast a glance at the price tag. It’s priced at RM119.90. Well, I was surprised as it’s not as expensive as I imagined and still, er… affordable (courtesy of JPA’s $$$).

The visit was a brief one because I dislike being tailed by promoters. I love the clothes being worn by the mannequins and the way the clothes were mix-&-matched is creative yet acceptable. As I didn’t really explore the store thoroughly, I viewed sub.com.my to find out more about the store and the products it offers.

Below are snapshots of men’s wear, readily combined and matched with accessories.

I picked 3 of my favourite and the comments are:

undergarment Nice little black column which imitates a tie

sunglass Something I won’t try putting on

sling bag (or whatever it is called) Multi-purpose, but I won’t consider bringing it to class

shoes My favourite of all! Must get myself a pair. Anyone don’t mind buying for me??

undergarment Luv it!!

cap I’m a bit of anti-cap. Not handicapped ok? Touchwood!!!

vest Nice, but I have confidence issue for putting it on

bag Ha! This is the 1 I’ve been looking for. I’ll definitely won’t hesitate buying. Suitable for most occasions

jacket (or whatever it is called) +2_undergarments +scarf Very trendy and catchy combination. But is Malaysia so cold for that? Nor is it suitable for most areas in India (think too far…)

shoes Another items I’ll consider buying. Could they make me taller?

For the ladies, well, check out the website or the store for more details, hehehe.

Conclusion: I’ll definitely pay another visit to the store. What’s more? SUB is a Malaysian-based international fashion group. Who says Buatan Malaysia= no good? Time to feel good for being patriotic!

Here comes the entertainment part.

For all those HARRY POTTER fans out there, the 6th movie of the series is finally here! It is estimated that the movie will release in Malaysia in 16 July, and if that’s the case, we, Malaysians, got to watch the movie earlier than most of the world!! Such a long wait it has been, but I don’t mind waiting for a few more months.

Will there be a 3D version of the movie at Times Square’s IMAX theatre?????

So that’s it, my simple yet hard-to-get wishes for the month. Is there anyone who’s generous & kind & wealthy who has no idea of how to spend the time & money? Contact me!

Or if you have the $$$ but dunno how to spend it on a person wisely, call me!

日行一善,功德无量噢!

Short Story

After abandoning my pity blog for more than a month (wow!), finally, and fortunately, I’ve decided to re-oxygenate it’s blood before it dies quietly.

I’m using English now because typing Chinese words is an extremely tedious task, for me la. Initially I decided to use mandarin in all my post because I wanted to limit the readers of my blog to certain group of people, hehehe, as some of the contents of the blogs are not meant for EVERY1. No offence, lol. HOWEVER, i succumb to my native laziness.

OK, back to business. Yesterday went to KL for a half day trip with Ning Jui & Jun Suet. Ning Jui’s mom took us to Jalan Petaling in the morning and dropped us at a “branded” (used to be) restaurant where we had our not-so-tasty dim sum where 90% of the people in the restaurants consisted of senior citizens.

After filling our stomach with meats & cholesterol, we walked around at Jalan Petaling. It was 9am something and most of the shops were still closed. I found that, surprisingly, there are many “hotels”, precisely motels which i think provide not just accommodation… OK enough of this.

To my great disappointment, one of the sport shoes that I was wearing had its bottom section (the rubber which cushions the foot) torn which made walking so “voluntary”, with conscious control over each and every pace. I was desperately looking for a shop selling shoes but most of the shops were still sleeping! The only hope I had was Times Square but it was thousand miles ahead.

Nevertheless, we managed to reach Times Square after walking for such long journey under the hot and mean sun. The first stop we visited was the washroom, of course, separately.

The next thing to do was to get myself a new pair of shoes. Lets trim the details down and go straight to>>> Ya, I bought a pair of Neckermann shoes and I’m jealous, till now, that Ning Jui bought a pair of BUM Equipment shoes at only RM19.90!! It’s genuine… but my feet are unexpectedly larger than the maximum size of the shoes available… Never mind, I still like mine.

And then… (further trimming and making life easy)… We walked for about 7 hours inside Times Square, appreciating everything beautiful but expensive along the way. I spent the least yesterday, while the other two got themselves the so-called “worth it” merchandises.

At 5pm something, we walked from Times Square to Tong Shin Hospital where Ning Jui’s mom works. The journey was even more torturing than that in the morning, with more vehicles at greater speed, more noise, hotter sun and more sweat. Finally, thousand thanks to Ning Jui’s mom, we returned to Puchong and home sweet home.

A fun and memorable experience ended, and with high hopes, there shall be more in the future.
