Obsessed with bikinis and lingerie

Went to Subang Parade just now. I saw La Senza panties in Parkson, it cost RM89 for 5 pieces so it's RM18 per piece. It's actually ok price. Triumph is also so expensive. Normal nice bra cost at leat RM70 nowdays. If it's RM40, that means it's damn ugly and low quality. Even offer price hardly reach RM40. Offer bras cost at least RM50 from triumph.

La Senza bras are 3 for RM169 which is RM 56 per piece of Rm 139 for 2 pieces which is RM69.5 per piece. That is the normal price for bras now. Not like last time, RM40 is expensive. Inflation. Now it's RM60. Last time RM50 is so much money. Now RM50 is so little.

I remembered triumph sold sloggi panties, not those in the packet ones. They sold RM30 for 3 pieces of bikini panties or RM40 for 3 pieces of boylegs. The packet panties were also cheap that time (few months ago). They were all RM75 but some are 6 for RM75, 5 for RM75 or 4 for RM75. So cheap. So regret never buy the non-packet sloggi panties because they were nice.

I also would suggest buying sorella. It's cheap and good. Their seamless panties are only RM15 per piece. It's quite cheap compared to other brands. I don't like scarlet. It goes into your butt. I once bought their seamless panty for RM10 and the lining came off when I removed the pantyliner. The glue is not strong.

So in the end, I would suggest buying a little more expensive panties and bras because they last long and because of that, you will have alot of panties and bras at one time. This is because you don't throw old ones but keep them so you have alot at once. I love to buy lingerie expecially panties but I don't buy those cheap cheap ones la.

Now I have like 40 panties and 30 bras. I still feel I want more. Typical girl. The number of panties and bras are those that I only wear, not those that I don't wear. I keep some bras since like 5 years ago. I have 1 triumph bra which is 7 years old and it's not loose but of course the material got thinner thanks to the maid who took revenge by spoiling clothes.

I also love bikinis. I regret buying my current one because if I never buy, I will but Victoria's Secret's bikinis because they look so nice and it was so cheap few weeks ago before they brought in new collection. Top is like USD9.99 and so is bottom. They will deduct 40% off total bill but shipping is not worth. USD27.99 to Malaysia. They use those UPS, DHL. Of cos la. Must keep reputation mah. So want new bikinis. Never mind, go Bandung and buy new bikinis and panties. heheheh

Swimming in 3k

Today me and my sis went to 3k Subang Jaya to swim. It's a public indoor pool. It's damn uglyyyyyyy. The interior damn ugly compared to MMU's swimming pool. The water is obviously damn cold and the water is damn dirty. I actually feel dirty. The entrance fee is RM 4 (public holiday) and I didn't being home my swimming cap and I had to rent it for RM2. It's not nice. I rather go back MMU and swim. The toilet is also not nice.

As for my bikini, the neck tie came off as usual because it's tie string. If I tie double knot, then it wont come off. But if I tie double ribbon, it still comes off. I actually think (since last time), no matter how you tie it, it will definitely come off because of the material. It's slippery.

Now I'm in the bikini craze. I so want to learn how to sew a bikini. I so want to find sewing class or courses and want to learn how to sew stretch fabric. I obviously have to learn how to sew non-stretch fabric first.

Just now I was trying to sew (by machine) a bikini using the cheap table runner from some event 2 years ago. The table runner actually doesn't belong to me because we used the club's money but if I give it back to the club, they won't use it.

The table runner is not stretch material but it can stretch a little. It's those cheap cloth, RM2 per metre. It's so slippery too. I tried sewing a twist bandeau top bikini with it, obviously look ugly because I sew with hand, not machine. I really love twist bandeau tops. Many years ago I saw bras like that but now no more and bikinis are taking those designs. It obviously suit bikini more. It doesn't even look like a bikini. I wanted to sew a bikini that looks like this :

I will definitely learn how to sew because after looking at Victoria's Secret bikini, I love it so much eventhough most of the designs look the same but different colour. I didn't know that all scissors are right-handed. My friend told me once but it doesnt really bother me. She showed me while cutting paper. It's harder to cut with left hand because the scissors might not cut. I used a huge scissors to cut the fabric just now, I think it's a fabric scissors, it's so hard to cut. I tried turning the scissors around where my thumb and other 4 fingers are holding the scissors wrongly, it cut so easily. I should buy a left handed scissors or just buy a scissors with 2 equal hole sizes.

I also want to learn how to sew dresses because I always like wearing dresses but I never buy them because I think it's expensive. It's actually not because you only wear one piece of clothing at a time, not 2. If we wear 2 garments at a time, it also cost almost same as a dress. I also want to learn how to sew dresses because I saw alot of nice dresses but never buy it because I don't think I use them or it's expensive or it's low quality. Those low quality dresses are really bad.

New bikini arrived!!!

My new bikini just arrived last Friday and this morning my sis went to collect it because I don't have a debit card and paypal. The bikini top was oversize but it fits because it's tie string at the back. It's quite supported because the back strap is thick, not just a string. The bikini top also comes with padding. It looks nice and it's black. The beads at string for the neck is also covered with plastic.



The bottom looks so damn big. Like Malaysian panty XL. It seems so big but it fits eventhough it's much bigger than my panties. I also found out that bikini bottom is little bigger than panties because swimsuit does not stretch so much, unlike panties, the material stretch so much when worn.



Above is how big the bikini bottom is compared to my favuorite panty from sorella. When worn, the panty will also stretch as big as the bikini bottom. The bikini bottom is a little loose on top of the butt but it's fine. Americans are big.

Malaysian clothes shopping and bikinis

Have you ever wondered why Asian clothes are so ugly? Not all Asian brand of clothing are ugly but mostly they are. Most Asian brands target only skinny people, not even typical Asian size. Those girl who are like US size 6 (top) will fit large size or can't find clothes in Asian clothing shops. I once went to this shop, it's an Asian brand, they only target small people. I didn't really see the tops but most Asian brands have tops with larger size that can fit until US size 6 but what they do not have is bigger size bottoms. My bottom is US size 6 and my top is US size 4. I wear size L jeans in that shop. Why are the sizes so damn small!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's 1 shop that sells alot of dancing attire. Their sizes are also damn small. Their size S pants is like US size 0. I even have to wear size L. Asians are getting bigger nowdays. My mum once told me some made in China clothes are 1 size smaller because they do that to save material. Very money minded indeed.

There are many big size Asians around nowdays. They can't really find clothes because Asian brands are so damn small!!! They have to opt for European brands which are costly. People who fit Asian size XL will have difficulty finding clothes in Malaysia. But at least now Malaysia has alot of imported brands which can fit larger people.

Another thing about Asian brands are the bottom like jeans or long pants doesn't fit girls with big hips or butt like me!!! It's so hard to find jeans that fit me. I bought 1 jeans from Promod and it fits perfectly but that brand is expensive and their jeans are so limited. They practically have only 1 jeans for 1 design. So, there's only 1 size for that particular jeans. I was lucky to find 1 that fits. Most females in my family are born with big butt. It's easy to find jeans or long pants that has our sizes but the biggest problem is that the cutting only fits people with small butt. I look like I have 2 giant bumps at the side of my hips. So only European brands fit us well.

Another thing Malaysia lack is nice and affordable swimwear. Bikinis here cost like RM200. The top is RM100+ and the bottom is RM100+. OMGGGG!!! I was lucky to find my 1 piece Speedo for only RM69 or RM79. That was because it was on sale because Royal Sporting House or Studio R was going to stop selling Speedo brand and bring in TYR.

Recently, I had an idea of asking Victoria Secret to open shops in Malaysia. Haha. Sounds hilarious. I mean Malaysians spend so much on lingerie. Take a look at Triumph, Wacoal, La Senza, their bras cost like at least RM60 and people still buy them. Some bras cost RM100+ and people still buy. If Victoria Secret opens in Malaysia, I really think they can succeed because ladies here spend alot on lingerie.

If Victoria Secret opens in Malaysia, they should also sell alot and alot of bikinis and other swimwears. If they do, Malaysians will not be deprived of beautiful swimwears. After conversion, VS bikini cost less than RM100 for top and less than RM100 for bottom. But I doubt they will sell that cheap here because demand might be high here and they have to pay for shipping and franchise fee and some overhead expenses.

In conclusion, Asian brands really should improve their clothing designs even though many people buy their clothes just because they are a little cheaper than European or American brands. Next, Asians should also start to come up with their own line of swimwears and sports attire (I don't think many Asian brands have sports attire). Brands from outside Asia should bring in their swimwears to Malaysia because Malaysia has summer all year round. Let bikinis be acceptable in Malaysia!!!!!

Bought new swimsuit!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally bought new swimsuit from ebay. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It cost RM70. It's from USA and it's shipped here. The bikini alone cost US $12.99 and the shipping is US $8.64. In total I paid RM70.84. My sis obviously helped me to buy it because I keep on forgetting to get a debit card. This is the swimsuit I bought.

Swimsuits!!!

I always wanted new swimsuit because my current tankini looks so teenager and the bottom is like high cut at the waist like grandma panties. I want the one where the top is half n the bottom can be boylegs or panty kind. I don't like those tankini where the top is full and the bottom is like panty. It just looks incomplete, like forgot to wear pants like that. If the top is full and the bottom is shorts, too covered for the beach, like so conservative. So i would prefer the bottom is like panty kind.

I don't mind bikini but then i don't want those tie string kind because i feel no matter what the string will untie and then you know what happens next. I think it's the swimsuit material which is slippery that makes the bikini untie by itself. I know I so fussy with swimsuit.

I have another requirement for my swimsuit which everyone will also consider, the PRICE. Most swimsuits so expensive. Like in Roxy, bikini cost like RM200. The most ironic part is that we are paying so much for such a small amount of cloth. I also don't know why shops must sell the top and bottom seperately. Buy seperately much more expensive than buy 1 set together.

Since swimsuits in Malaysia so expensive, I think I want to buy from ebay. But then if buy from ebay, shipping so expensive, USD 18 and the swimsuit starting price is USD 1. Haih. So hard to find swimsuit. Buy from ebay also risky because scared cannot fit. I also don't know why stripper's uniform or clothes or what it's called is under swimwear in ebay.

In conclusion, my tankini is still wearable and still in very good condition because it's from triumph and triumph no more swimsuit range. So I shouldn't waste money to buy something i don't need and will only wear IF I go to the beach. :(
