Shopping in Bangsar!

Dear diary,
Another 3 more days to my Beijing trip. I’m not fully-recovered yet. I’m still forbidden from sweet and heaty cravings. A vacation without alcohol and chocolates is not vacation at all! I need to get well but how?! Why is this terrible sickness not going away despite the plenty water I’ve drank?!
Putting that aside, I went shopping in Bangsar yesterday with the intention to grab some wardrobe stuff for my trip.
I didn’t drive there (rare case). because…my friend Kire offered to give me a ride in her brand new car!! How new is new?! she took her car in the morning and I’m in her car on that same afternoon. This is amazingly exciting! I don’t know why but I just feel so good about this…A few things I love about her car:
1. 2088 is a very nice number that she has;
2. Her car is black in colour – same with me;
3. the smell that only a new car has;
4. tinted glasses which isolates the heat of the sun-light and makes the interior real cooling on a hot sunny afternoon;
5. sporty skirting that her car has;
6. spacious interior;
7. leather seats with red threat;
8.the fact that it’s new;
9. she lets me have the priority to ride in her new car and i think this is what makes it best!
back to the Bangsar part, there were damm a lot of ‘independent’ boutiques in Bangsar Telawi Street! Each with their own unique names and thematic interior…among the catchy names that relentlessly remained in my memory are: “dressed to nine, opsie daisy, gossip, baci, little black book, cats whiskers, sheer berry, amos, purpledotz, sevendays, elo“.
I think my favourite boutique is ‘elo‘ by Blook which provided couture-like shoes and accessories at a civilian price. I picked some reasonable jewelry from this shop.
The other shops that I went to basically provide over-priced ‘ok-not-very-attractive’ clothing. 无趣! I hate over-priced stuff!
We spent the day climbing numerous stairs because most of the boutiques are located at the first floor… this process is tiring but I kinda love the process of exploring the unknown; unmasking the veils of all mysteries. Luckily I have my pretty friend Kire to kill the boredom.
Cats Whiskers is having its 70% mad sales. Hence, I get myself a few items at a really reasonable price. At least I know I’m happy by the end of the day because I didn’t spend my money for non-worthy stuff.
I always wanted a dress that look something like this: (sad…I haven’t found one.)
What I love about the recent fashion trend:
Oh ya, and there’s this one shop selling Japan-imported merchandises of Hello Kitty, Doraemon, Cinamonroll etc … Most of the items sold are in pink (for the Hello Kitty part). You can find original Hello Kitty rug, stationary, bookmarks etc in this shop…I’m overwhelmed by the cuteness of this shop but the price doesn’t favor me. I can’t help my ‘aunty’ behavior towards this…I just want my money spent at its best value. Hence, I picked a couple of cute reasonable stuff. Just a couple of it I swear.
Remembering my mom’s advice to me before I left my house. She sounded like this: Don’t shop the whole Bangsar please.”
I was like: “I won’t, ok?!”
And now:”I didn’t, ok?!”
