Chinese New Year 2012 shopping!!!

Me, my sis and mum went to Hatyai for bra shopping. It's freaking cheap there. Triumph bras are selling for RM39. In Malaysia, it's like at least RM60 after discount. In Hatyai, we went to Central to buy bras and it was a high end place and you can try the bras there. After that, we went to Odeon, which is not so high end but you can't try the bras there. The bras in Odeon are piled up in 2 huge baskets, like a real sale. You have to dig the whole basket to find the bras. So in conclusion, to go Central to try on the bras and go to Odeon to buy them because Odeon has more varieties. In Odeon, the toiletries are so cheap, like half the price compared to Malaysia because toiletries are manufactured in Thailand.

Here are the clothes I bought:

Jeans from Dorothy Perkins, RM96 or RM98 each, can't remember. I can't get student price because it's only available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There's this woman, another customer lend me her Dorothy Perkins card so there's a 10% discount.



Loose top from Cotton On, RM25. I just love the printed lace design, real lace is even better. Hehe


Leopard print top from Cotton On, RM30


Loose fitting top from Hatyai (bought from a stall), RM20


Polka Dotted chiffon top from Hatyai, RM20. The shop keeper wanted to sell at RM39 but my mum helped me to bargain. The shop keeper didn't even let me check it and chuck it in the plastic bag. The lining came out of the stitching so I had to stitch it back.


T-shirt from the streets in Hatyai, RM10


Cute little octopus t-shirt from F.O.S. This and the next two white T-shirts for RM45

Top from reject shop. I only bought this because the side of the sleeves have ball ball, RM20


2 tank tops from reject shop. Can't remember how much but it was cheap


Cardigan from Seed in Sunway Pyramid's Jusco, RM39.


Colourful dress from Hatyai, RM25. Couldn't haggle more.


Polka Dotted dress from Hatyai. Only RM35. The quality is not bad, and it is double layered, at least it's not a cheapskate dress.


La Senza bras from Parkson in Subang Parade. 2 for RM100. This is the cheapest I've found at that moment. Other places don't sell this cheap at that time. It was I think early December. Now there's sale in La Senza, buy 2 free 1 I think.


Triumph bras from Hatyai. Only RM39 each. It will never be this cheap in Malaysia. I hope the quality is good. Some are not very good. Some bras are available in Malaysia and it's freaking cheap in Hatyai.
The sales lady and my sis asked me to buy the blue bra because it's nice and the sales lady said the original price was RM90+.


Triumph panties from Hatyai. Only RM9 each. Triumph and Wacoal still have the best panties. La Senza panties look nice but not as comfy.


Triumph panties from Jusco in Mid Valley. The beige one is RM10 and the black is only RM15!!!!!!

Shopping in Bandung

Right now, Trixie is licking me non-stop and keep on calling me with her hands. So annoying. No matter how much i pat her, I can never stop because she will continue to do the same. She's such a princess because she's my family's 1st dog. So spoilt like a princess.

Ok, shopping in Bandung is nice eventhough it's only outlets. They have alot of American brands and they have some European ones like H&M and MNG. The factory is in Bandung thats why there are so many outlets there.

The best place is Rumah Mode because their clothes is not so FOS like. Their clothes are affordable. Bandung is shorts heaven. I love shorts and shorts there are damn cheap, only RM20+, not like in Malaysia, RM40+ which i think is not worth. Their jeans are not too expensive. I bought mine for only RM70. Sadly, I didn't get much tops there.

I also went to The Secret. It's not that great. Clothes in Rumah Mode is much nicer. The layout of The Secret is so confusing and messy. There's also Jalan Dagor which is a street full of factory outlets. Didn't walk much there because it seems like my family don't like it there. I ended up buying an undersized dress because my dad rushed me. If not, I would have bought another dress. The outlets in Jalan Dagor is like FOS.

We also went to Heritage, where the clothes there are very casual, alot of T-shirts. It's also like FOS but obviously it's much cheaper, unlike FOS which is so damn overpriced. You can't try on T-shirts there, which I hate. I pantang buy clothes without trying. There's also Toko Tiga, where they sell can say only jeans. There's even Levi's. Some of them cost RM100+ and some RM300+.

There's also a shopping mall called Pasar Baru like Sg Wang, the top floor sells clothes like in Sg Wang but the lower floor sells fabrics for Kebaya and clothes. I bought my Kebaya from 2 different shops. There are so many shops that sell only Fabric. Practically every shop sells material for Kebaya. So the lucky shop got business from my family.

Handbags there are expensive. All of them that I see are imitation so I obviously didn't buy any. They have ALL brands including MNG. Not an expensive brand also want to imitate. Shoes in Bandung are not pretty. Shoes in Malaysia are much nicer.

The food in Indonesia is good. It's like the Malay food in Malaysia. I can eat the food there because I always eat malay food in campus. It's actually nice. Food to eat in Indonesia are Nasi Timpel, Nasi Padang, Ayam Penyet and some of their noodles. Fried rice there taste the same.

Once my sis ate noodles, it was served with 1 jar of chilli that looks like the Chinese chicken rice chilli, she tried 1 drop, and it was damn spicy. She asked my mum and aunt to try it. They both found it damn spicy. From their reaction, it's real hot. So I tried 1 drop from my chopstick (people there use chopstick for all noodles), OMG, it was damn spicy.

The spicyness is different from our cili padi (bird's eye chilli). It taste more to Tabasco kind of hot. Maybe they use habanero or something. I really want to try habanero because I watch Man vs Food and habanero is the world's hottest chilli/pepper.

You can visit my Facebook for some pictures of Bandung. I just remembered I forgot to take photo of 1 cosmetic bag I bought. It cost RM10 and my sis and mum saw it in a shop in Puchong, it only cost RM8. haha. Here are the things I bought in Bandung:

Travel

Sometimes I feel like I don't have any topic to blog about. When I'm not blogging, I thought of a topic and then forget about it when I am about to blog. So now I will just blog about my travel history.

1996 - Family went to Medan then Australia then Bali. All by tour. I don't remember much because I was only 7. I only remembered my dad rented a car in Australia and we few kangaroos and touched kola and also went to under water world.

In Medan

A kangaroo in Australia. Film cameras capture nicer pictures than digital camera because i think it doesn't use pixels

Bali

1997 - Me, my sis n mum went to China, Shenzhen by tour then Hong Kong. It wasn't very cold in China or Hong Kong. I think it's during autumn. I also don't remember much. In China, we went to miniature world. Got like Leaning Tower of Pisa, Mount Rushmore, The Pyramid and much more. It's called Shenzen window of the world. I also remembered my mum bought peaches in Hong Kong and it look so nice and didn't even get to eat it because the airport don't allow us to carry it.

1998 - Me, my sis n mum went to Thailand. I think my family went to Phuket and Bangkok by tour. I remember watching 'Aqua Show' which is a show where transexual perform (man change to women. It's acceptable there). The women were very pretty and that is when I learnt about breast implants. I asked my mum. At Phuket, there were people who are strapped to the speed boat and they are on this plying thing. When the speed boat moves, they will fly.

Aqua show

1999 - Didn't travel overseas. So sad. Me, my sis n mum went to Penang for 10 days with my mum, sis and friend. We stayed in my uncle's house.

2000 - I think my family went to Thailand by train. I remembered being at KL Sentral but don't know why we were there. I think my family took train to Thailand twice. This must be the second time.

2001 - Didn't go overseas because my mum was scared because of 9/11.

2002 - Family went to Korea by tour. 1st time experiencing winter but no snow. Went skiing too. Was very cold because only wore winter jacket but no sweater. Haha. Food there is very not Malaysian taste and very hard to eat. Korean food in Malaysia is nothing like in Korea ok. People here can say Korean food is ok wat, but the real Korean food is damn different. Things there are very expensive too and no1 speaks English.

If you're wondering, my hair is so big because I haven't start doing rebonding and don't comment!!

My sis eating kimchi. Very sour

2003 - Went to China by tour, the tour package says Shanghai. Shanghai is the main attraction. Went with family and family friend's family. Shanghai is so damn different than other places in China. It's so high class. The hotel room heater actually works because it us a reputable state in China. Shanghai is really cold because it is near the sea. Taxi drivers in Shanghai wear vest and tie.

2004 - My family went to China by tour again. Those of you better not complain so much about Malaysia. In China, all the jobs that Malaysians don't want to work as that are taken by foreign workers, are taken by the Chinese in China. Waitress here is so a part time job but in China, it's a job for mothers, not young ladies or young men after school. Transit in Macau. In this tour, got 2 touist nuns also. They travel together with the group but not go visit temple and stay in temple.

2005 - Family went to Ho Chih Minh, South Vietnam during 1 of the school breaks, not December break. Weather there is hot but not as hot as KL. Shopping there is nice and the food there also nice. They even have wan tan mee. There can shop for lecquer painting and some purse stuff. Very cheap. 1 purse can cost US$1.

Alot of motorbikes there. Traffic jam is motorbike traffic jam, not cars.

2006 - Didn't go anywhere for holiday because the next year going 2 places.

2007 (Jan) - Family went to China in January with my family. Not by tour. Finally. With family friends as well. Went Gongzhou shopping but it was all winter wear. Dim Sum originate from Gongzhow, China not Hong Kong. People there speak Cantonese, at least easier to understand that pure China chinese. Went on 3 day tour in China with China poeple. Poeple there are so rude and I serisouly don't know how KL can be the rudest city in the world. Then went to visit my grandmother's relatives in the province. Not a very nice experience la. Don't want talk about it. My dad didn't go province because he needs to leave early because of work and take care of the dogs. After province, stayed a night in Macau because Air Asia only fly to Macau that time. Macau perfumes so cheap. Sold in Sasa and Watsons summore.

This structure looks nice

Macau

2007 (Mar) - Family went to Hanoi, North Vietnam. So nice. We stayed in Old Quarters and walk walk walk there. It's a tourist area la. Bought same kind of things. We stayed 1 night in the junk (Vietnamese ship) which is so not worth. Let me tell you, just take a day tour because there was no water to bathe of brush teeth. The model ship there damn cheap. The tiny size only US$1 and the big ones, like half my body tall is like US$10.

Halong Bay. The ship is called a junk

2008 - Dad no more working so never go anywhere.

2009 - Went to Pulau Perhentian with Sarah. Only I went la. Snorkeling the whole time and I don't have underwater casing so not much pics. Only 3 days trip la, join MMU Melaka trip. It's organized by a club and they join a tour group. Very good la, they provide each of us a few bottles of mineral water and food and accommodation. Took like 9 hours in the bus from Melaka to Terengganu. There can wear bikini. The whole trip only cost RM350. Me, my sis n my mum drove to Melaka for day trip then drop me off for the Perhentian trip. After the trip, stayed at friend's place in Melaka a night then next day my dad came and pick me up to go home.

Sarah and I

2010 (May) - I went to Kota Kinabalu with Sarah and Adrian. 1st time in East Malaysia. I was in KK airport once when transit from Korea to Malaysia so not really counted la, since only stayed in the airport. We booked the RM0 air fare. We only paid a total of RM12 airport tax. Stayed at backpackers place. So nice that place. No tv in the room which is a good thing because don't feel so confined in the room and I'm ok with common toilet because it's clean and hostel only have common toilet. Stayed there for 5 days. Way toooooo long. So boring there, can walk everywhere or take bus, which is only a short distance. Things there more expensive than Peninsular Malaysia. Since we were so bored, we went to watch movie and go shopping. Seafood there ok la. Didn't eat full blast la (no money to eat that much).

Mount Kinabalu Park

So that is my travel story. From the pics above, you can tell some of the pics are from so long ago, mainly by the fashion. hahah. The fashion last time is really not nice. You also can see how much the fashion has changed and how advanced cameras are nowdays.

Cameron Highland Trip on 17th and 18th October

Last Saturday and Sunday, me, my sis, my mum and friend's mum went to Cameron Highlands. Another 6 of my mum's friends went too. We all stayed in a terrace house with 3 bedrooms. It's a real house in a housing area, not a guest house. I seriously don't like the cold weather.

On Saturday, we left the house at almost 6am. My mum drove all the way. Reached Cameron at like 10am. Went to a tea plantation, don't know what the name is. Next, we went to water cress valley and has a drink that has water cress. Taste like water cress soup.

After that, check in the house then sleep the whole day time since we had to wake up so early, not enough sleep also. I woke up at like 1pm or 2pm. Then my sis n mum were sleeping until like 5pm. I even managed to watch a movie in the meantime.

After movie, went to eat steamboat. All vege only. While eating, bad luck happened. It rained!!!!!! Even though it rained, I so beria-ia want to go to the pasar malam. The rain got lighter so we went to the pasar malam. We head to the umbrella stall 1st. Bought strawberry umbrella. So cute!!!!! We also bought alot of key chains of fruits: lychee, banana, durian, strawberry, orange, radish, chilli and lots more. Very cute!!!!!! Me and my sis also bought strawberry cushion. We were o crazy over the cushion. We saw it on the way up to cameron and we bought it in the pasar malam. It's so nice to hug n it's cute!!!!!


This is my favourite picture. There's a bee on the flower. At boh tea plantation

On Sunday, everyone except me and my sis woke up at 6am just to go to the morning market. So we woke up at 9.30am. We packed our stuff and went to boh tea plantation. The road so small and winding. My mum so skill to drive. Not to mention she can drive fast somemore. If it's me, I will drive very slow. After boh tea plantation, went to bee farm. Not that many bees there. After bee farm, went to cactus valley. Bought a few cactus plant for myself, Dori and Nabila. After that, head down to Ipoh to have lunch. Traffic jammmmmmm!!!!! On the way to cactus valley also jam. The jam is in Cameron. Reached home at night. My mum managed to drive until then. So semangat. So that's my Cameron trip. It was very dizzy looking at the road. If I don't look outside the car, I won't feel dizzy.
