Shop till you drop
Hujan turun lebat gila. Dari tingkap office tak nampak dah KLCC, which normally is clear blue. It's all very mellow, hazzy and perfect if I am on my bed, tug under my comforter with khilfi and hubby along. Damn it, miss both of them badly.
This morning, I bugged Ika to tweak my page. Then, for no reason, I decided to do it on my own and suddenly it clashed with her. Apparently, we're doing it at one time together dah pening dland nih kot. So, I stick to hers and see how it presented now. I need more colors in my life now ever than before. So, khilfi will be a good morale
boost!
Ok, I wanna tell people out there some tips. Especially mommies. I know some knows abt it, and might done this, but just spare me my own space for some repetitive announcement. I went to Reje*t Shop, Pertam* Complex yesterday. They had a huge collection of Baby Gap, Mother care(especially girls), kushies baby, osh kos, next and Old navy. They had bibs, jumper, overall, pants, pyjamas, pack of 2 skirts, blankets and lot's more. I managed to buy 1 blanket (kushies), 2 rompers(kushies), 1 tshirts(Osh kosh), 1 pyjamas(Gap) and 3 bibs. Kindly noted, all tag is not torn or tear off and everything is well kept. And guess how much I paid for it, as low as RM50 only. So, mommies or anyone, kidnly head to the store and grab the one to your liking.
Next, hmm, the whole weekend in fact was full with shopping again. I know it was just 2-3 days of ramadhan, I have been doing lot's of purchasing. Whattodo, I am the house purchaser. Susah jugak. I am buying on behalf of my mum, my 3 sisters, my only brother, my husband, my baby, and my in laws as well. Susah jugak bila dah jadi expert in shopping ni. (chewahhh). I should find a job as a personal shopper la.
Ever since I actaully stayed in KL (since 1991), mmg selalulah jadi tukang-beli-brg for my families down in KT. Yg susahnyer, even they all always in KT, when they actaully look into the stuff, they cant decide on what to buy esp. nearing hari raya. Kalau my brother , A's tuh, bagilah duit 2-3 ratus pun, he ended up not buying anything, coz die jadi rambang mata. So final solution, I will do all the buying for them. Normally whatever I buy will be the perfect one for them.
So, that's why, I still carry my suplementary credit card from my dad with maximum credit limit. Jaz had grew with it with my weekend call.
"elin, tolong beli this and that"
My siblings back at home, will order what they want, with some preference like color and all. I carrried a chart with the size for everyone from my dad, mum to my youngest sister. It has all the size of pants, shirts, blouse and no suprise it goes as details to all the brands. U know sometimes u wear size 8 for british India, but size
28 for Giordano. Those stuff like that. So, mmg pening everytime big event like raya is coming. I am like the centre of everyone orders.
Ok, that is the intro. So, last week, I started my first adventure. Nothing much left in fact, coz I have been grabbing all the chance to shop for them ever since the eons sales on going in KL. I still owe my brother his portion. Papa call and said, RM400 is the limit. So ok, once u know the budget is better lah kan. So I got for him 3 pairs of pants (Maui & dockers and 4 shirts -Maui & Bodyglove) . It's all at Sogo, it's on Sale now. So better bargain.
As for my 2 sisters (yg dah anak dara) normally now raya will be baju kurung. So, after countless, mmg semua dah settle. Normally they still need like 2-3 pairs of tops to match with their pants. Since female tops are quite cheap jugaklah (and depa nih budak2 remaja yg minat cam baju2 kat seed, padini, scarlet and etc) so tadelah
mahal sgt. I normally will give a present for raya for them lah these blouses. Yelah kakak kan dah keje.
Left with my youngest sister, who is actially in standrd 4, but trapped in a body of 7 yrs old except she is taller. Buying stuff for her will be very good. U know like you are so tempted to dress up ur daugther. So same goeslah. Managed to get few
dresses, gowns, and jeans.
Wow, panjang jugak dah jadi citer shopping nih. And I must blog, a note of appreciation to my FIL for giving away RM150 Metrojaya voucher to khilfi. We blew it off with Guess shirts and Cape Cod plus few pyjamas and some avent stuff. End up kena bayar RM280. My dad sempat sms , the balance is on him.
Ouch, suddenly my report come back, need to tidy it up. Will continue later.
