MPH Warehouse Clearance sale+Clothes sale

Went there again today. The place was superbly crowded because there was another warehouse clearance sale across MPH-this one is from Zara, Massimo Dutti and Pull and Bear (the clubbing gear brand) at Dataran Hamodal. NUTS I tell you. Triple parking like you've never seen.

This is the amount of books in two trips...(which is quite acceptable-considering the fact that the books' prices are SLASHED. Seriously. I could've bought more.)


I reccomend this book to buy...

RM20 for a bookful of strangers secrets, this is a bargain. Plus, it's the hard copy and hard cover version of selected secrets from the pop-culture ish PostSecret lah!


Yes, they also had Little Miss and Little Mr. books. The ones that inspired those mass produced Little Miss clothes. One will cost you RM 4 or 6.

Also, if you're planning to go there, do your friends a favor and save them the trouble, horror and hassle of looking for a parking space by buying them the books they would like. Save the environment, save petrol, save $$.

Iona wanted...



...And these were for Khadi, each going for RM 20-

Here are some tips while going for warehouse clearances:
1. Wear comfortable shoes
2. Wear breathable clothes
3. Carpool-go with lots of friends in one car. Easier to park one car than to look for three empty spaces.
4. Be a dear and ask friends who are not going if they'd like anything from there.
5. Bring some water to keep yourself hydrated. Water balloons reccommended.
6. BE NICE. Don't push, don't shove, don't step on people's feet.

You should take hold of these kinda warehouse clearnace stuff because:
1. It's rare.
2. Prices are slashed up to 80%, maybe even more.
3. It's Malaysian culture.
4. Save money.
5. Support the economy.
6. More value for your ringgit!

But DON'T overspend. Ask yourself if you REALLY need it, or you just WANT it.

A want is not a necessity.

Like these really funky purple Massimo Dutti flats going for RM60-I want them, but I didn't need them, so no thanks.

You can resist temptation! Just say NO to the items you don't need.

Note: There are Zara/Massimo Dutti heels in sizes 8 or 9 and above on sale there, so if any of you girls who have slightly big feet want some branded but cheaper than usual shoes, Dataran Hamodal is the place to be.

Note: Both warehouses are located opposite one another at Section 13/4. Shopaholics beware!

I don't get to eat this.
Dreading work.
12-hour shifts.
Long nights.
Longer meetings.
Only one break in 12 hours to eat. O.o
Non-customers sitting at the smoking area.
Perverts from the surrounding shops.
The only person my age is...well, me.

I'm not a guy, i'm a girl! I need to rest, i need to feel secure!

GRRRRR

I love my job, but...

...Why can't i just rot at home?!
*whine whine complain complain*

Just thinking about the workload there makes me anxious, worried and depressed.

God help me.

in two days...

Subang Parade

So the two girls and I had a plan to meet up at McDonalds (cos they have free refills xD jakun i know), which changed to my house and then Iona got a call from DB telling her to go for an interview at 4 at SP.

Of course, the only sensible thing to do would be to follow her all the way down there to have quality time together, no?

We came back in the evening and stayed at Iona's house till late.

MPH Warehouse Clearance Sale, Section 13/4

The place is right next to BluInc's hq. How could my mum and I missed it? We ended up driving till a Section 51 (kakaka) and got bullied by roadies. Sniffles. Meanies! I will hunt you down~

The place was packed. As expected. Books were on sale everywhere, not categorized, so you'll find a Peter Drucker book next to The Chronicles of Narnia, all next to P.S. I Love You (which is going for RM 20, what a steal).

Argubly the best bargain is the seven books of Narnia going for RM 15. Woot.

Jaya One

I am such a fangirl. Mum bought me here after I gushed about it to her (^^) and the place did not let us down.

Anyway, I think we passed by Jue Lyn's church too-DUMC. Hrm. Still figuring out how to go there this Sunday. >.<

Marley & Me

My sister had this book with her for quite a while already. The day before my finals, I borrowed it to read it. Marley and Me soon became one of my favourite books.

Marley and Me is basically about a couple who were deeply in love, they got married and decided to get a dog. A puppy dog they christened Marley, this Labrador Retriever is one heckuva firecracker that added spice to their life and saw the couple go through many experiences together.

I read this book in three days. It is simple in its language, easy to understand yet each page seems to be very meaningful and thoughful. The editing is great! =D

When I reached the last page, I felt sad-not because it had a sucky ending, not because I didn't understand some things-but because there weren't anymore pages to read. Silly, I know, but when you read it, you'll feel the same way too.



So you can guess I was ecstatic when my sister called me out of the room today when E! News had a short snippet of the SCREEN ADAPTATION for Marley & Me.

Owen Wilson will play John, and Jenny will be played by Jennifer Aniston. Oh, it is nice to see Rachel get a job out of Friends. LOL. They are the picture that I had in my mind for John and Jenny-perfect to the t.

Can't wait for it to hit our shores!

perfidia

Hmm...Glenn Miller. I just found out he sang Perfidia. Yesterday. Googled some lyrics I heard on Lite FM cos they seemed familiar.

Cherylyn would like to listen him, i think.

The line outside Sushi King was horredously long. The wait was worth it though. Everything, even the tempura sushi was going for RM2 specially for SK card holders. The prawn decreased in size though-_-


Dataran Pahlawan, Melaka
Place: Dataran Pahlawan, Melaka

The whole shopping center is very humble in its architecture. The Malay influence all over the building is unique, a breath of fresh air from the futuristic glass-styled shopping malls in KL. Earth-toned DP is also soft on the eyes.

Places

The following list is of shoppping places I'd like to visit.

Niu Ze Xui in Ara Damansara (Chinatown, Petaling Street)
Seriously, who came up with that great idea of a three-syllable Chinese name for this outdoorsy shopping complex? Smart lah. I doubt Khadi can pronounce it. Granted, it is modelled after the same place in Singapore with the same name, and the name means Cow in the Water which is supposed to bring luck, but it will be HARD for non-Chinese people to pronounce and remember.

(both pictures were googled)

Jaya One, Section 13

I've been blabbing about this place to anyone who would listen. Apparently, the founder of Jaya One, I read, is this yuppie in his early thirties. Amazing how he can build this thing from scratch. And yes, the Starbucks here is the 100th outlet in Malaysia, and Bus Company performed at the launch. Refer to my archive.

Pavilion KL
This sounds like a very interesting place to go. Yes, I am the only person who has yet to step foot upon this mall. It sounds like a newer KLCC, but I still believe KLCC has more to offer. Wanna know why? Scroll down.

KLCC
Harrods is opening in KLCC! Ok wait I just found out there's a Harrods in KLIA. -_- lol. Anyway, if you guys don't know, Harrods is a world-famous upscale departmental store originating from London. Go wiki.

Also...a GODIVA chocolate outlet! At KLCC! BELGIUM CHOCOLATE! I think you guys will remember Godiva from Mr. Victor's Marketing 113.

I read somewhere 100g of their chocolates cost RM56. Of course you wouldn't want to eat such expensive chocolate-maybe just walk by the shop, push your nose up the glass to see the inside...lol.

Dataran Pahlawan, Melaka
Yeah I've been here once but the field in the middle of this place is so inviting I can't help but daydream about jumping on it! Below the field is the basement, which is not the parking lots but shops!

Behind the field (or in front) is a don't-know-how-many storey building of DP, all shops and stuff to walk in after jumping on the field.

Hopefully you guys would be inspired to stretch your legs to walk around after reading this. Exercise! It's good for your health. This message was brought to you by your body.

Kokokaina

KLUE magazine did a special on 20 Malaysians under 40 for their September issue. Normally I don't buy KLUE. At the end of September, though, I bought it: I know, buying a magazine at the end of the month? What was she thinking?!

The special segment had lots of Malaysians under 40 who were changing the country, as teensy bit as it may be. Tan Hong Ming and Umi Qazrina, the two primary schoolkids from Yasmin Ahmad's Petronas commercial for last year's Merdeka were among the featured. ^^, those two are kewt. Hujan was featured, so was Kenny Sia. Zain HD! That's one guy worth writing about. (He was the brains behind KL Freeze.)

Anyhoo, the first of the 20 young people selected was this young girl of 22, Zee. Her name on YouTube is KoKoKaina, and she recently got signed to Brushfire Records in Los Angeles. I know what you're thinking: oh no, another Marie Digby!

Rest assured, she sounds NOTHING like Marie. Even better than her, I can say.
Check out her cover of Summertime. (embedding was disabled)

The following video is a duet she did. The title of the song is Tonight You Belong To Me. I can't help replaying it over and over again! It's like Lucky, but oh so better than that.

This blogger is perfectly capable of driving a manual car on the roads.

Holidays are here but i've got stuff lining up my calender like first i've got to renew my learner's license (yes the big L) in order to qualify to take the road exam, because the last time i went, which was my first too, queer isn't it, i failed cos apparently i was "speeding" or something along the lines of lewis hamilton (gosh he's hot) but whatever i still think it was because i didn't pay the duit kopi YES PEOPLE READ THAT I DIDN'T PAY THE DUIT KOPI SO I FAILED BOO HOO too bad so anyway yeah that's the first line up on my calender, go renew the license (cos it EXPIRED on me, how can it EXPIRE on me) and then take the driving test AGAIN, hello six hour waiting time, sheesh, someone can give birth in six hours you know that.


Second on my to-do list this two and a half months is to earn a meager living to support my education since i've got no sponsors for free college textbooks for the next four years and you know college textbooks are twice thicker than high school textbooks and four times more expensive, however this does not mean that all college textbooks are useful, so anyways, as i was saying, getting a job will not be that much of a problem, i mean people were already jumping on random wagons to shopping complexes to look for the sign that reads "vacancies, enquire within" but i can safely brag that i don't have to, since my previous employer had asked a few weeks back if i'd like to work part time again, but i am having second thoughts as the job is seriously stressful and tiring, since i rarely get weekends off and have to stand for long hours but hey who said money comes easy?


To Wai How, Joy Ling and the organizers of last night's BBQ/Steamboat/Karaoke party, i offer my sincerest apologies and a nice e-fruit basket to say sorry i wandered off in the middle of the party, because i really didn't mean to and it would've been so much fun to stay back and watch the games and gossip with the girls and all so you can guess i've been very dash-underscore-dash about this (-_-) but hey what's done is done and i'll be seeing you all at aeon one time or another gosh i'm missing college already.


So where did i go off to, well iona got a call from khadijah who sounded very excited as if she just got her hands on this rare, expensive and thus special thing called arina and as iona and i discovered after wandering at the deserted aeon at 10 in the night and getting starbucks out of a whim which evidently was too rough and sweet for me to handle that time of a night i mean, caramel hot chocolate, woman what were you thinking, was an exact mirror image slash copy slash clone of khadi yes i think she resembles khadi more than she resembles iona, nevermind the fact that she is an arina of her own so yeah anyways we went to modern at 11 or so cos someone got lost and we sat there, met bawanie and sister kim and kept laughing and laughing till midnight when it was decided that everyone disperse immediately and i came home pooped and i wondered the whole night till now why am i so stressed about this holidays as in is this real stress or stress cos it's not real or whatever coconut monkey jelly tornado banana rock.


I sincerely hope you did not read through the horribly edited post. ramble mood. horrible editing! *shakes head*
