My day at the Warehouse Sales





people, there are 12 pictures here. here's my story: first i didnt study at all for the whole day and i am so dead for finals. second, i went to zara warehouse sale and mph warehouse sale. before any of u kill me for my irresponsibility or out of sheer jealousy that i even went to those warehouses read my further story. the story as u can see will start with each picture starting from the first one on the left.
1) i woke up nearly 10am. around near 11am Sha called and asked me out for breakfast cum brunch. we went muhamid bandung in pasar besar gombak near ong tai kim. sha wanted to taste the infamous mee bandung there. turn out it was delicous but Sha said she cooks it better. well. as for me it was spicy. i ordered roti canai. the food was ok and the price was ok. if you dont mind the smell of raw meats coming from downstairs of the wet market you may try this place.
2) next we went to Giant supermarket to buy my toilettries when suddenly Sha's friend (er what was her name again?) called and told her that she's already at the warehouse sales that we have decided not going for exams' sake. i irresponsibly and single handedly encouraged Sha to go. and since her conviction is already as thin as the skin of onion (malay phrase directly translated into english) we went to Zara warehouse sale.
3) i understand that Zara sold a lot of pig skin lining shoes and bags or anything made of leather. but usually they didn't mix it up and provide adequate warnings so that we Muslims will not accidentally touched it and have to go to all the difficulty of washing our hands with sand and water - the ritual that we observed. but this warehouse sale perhaps out of all the chaos no longer observe this and simply mix everything together. i know its real busy and all and i tried to be understanding. however, perhaps in the future the organizer could have just put everything with pig skin lining at one designated place. u can throw everything with pig skin there, put signs as usual and don't even have to wrap with plastic. its real sad because when its mixed together not only we can accidentally touch it but we may also lose the opportunity of buying the one with no pig skin element accessories or apparels because they were mixed. put it simply, its like putting vegetarian food side by side with meats but worse because it was mixed together. i just hope that this hiccups can be corrected thats all :-)
4) when we're finished with Zara (i had to drag Sha outta that place) we went to MPH warehouse at nearby building. i was astonished to see how big that place is. and all those books...OMG heavens for book lovers such as yours truly.
5) when i was busy looking for every book that i manage to look at (so many books to look, so little money and time) i saw this kid who were playing alone with herself while her mother was busy looking for books. she opened her read umbrella and pretended that was her tent and walk back and forth from bookshelf switching books to read every moments (more like one or two seconds). i thought that was pretty cute so i took picture.
6) i took a basket and load it with any books that catch my quick interest. adding and discarding them the whole time i was walking in this endless space of books. i took some Austen, Dickens and Twain plus some other books. these are among those books that had to be lastly discarded due to money matters.
(7) and (8) well these are pics that i took just to show u people a glimpse of just how big that place is and just how many books there is. trust me, those were just glimpses.
(9) and (10) so we're finished with our thoughtless escapades and its time to empty our bladder and fill our stomach. we found it necessary to set foot on Palm Square (not very sure with the name) just for the sake of marking our first appearance at the newly built place. well its new because we havent been there since its completion. this building was under construction back when we were studying in matric PJ a few metres away and few years back. the place looked like a half mall and half shoplot kind of building. confusing and boring at the same time. so we decided to forgo our plan to eat there because the place was boring.
(11) and (12) : yes, i almost forgot...what did i get for myself? at Zara i bought two socks. yeah just two socks. i took pride in my coolness in picking stuff at this place. well, i dont actually wear this brand's clothes. i basically went there to see if there is any accessories, bags, belts and shoes that i might like which i didnt. which is why i didnt took pictures because its not my zen place. lol. anyway, i am not sure whats the brand of those socks. i think its Pull and Bear. well doesnt matter, its for my kid sisters plus its cute and neat. next, i bought Dumas and C.S. Lewis. ah, i sadly had bought only these for actually i couldnt afford these at all. i had used my Penang fund that i secretly allocated to go to Penang this coming holiday. see you next time Fiza (sorry if ure reading this). the prices? The Chronicles of Narnia was rm15. The Man in the Iron Mask was RM10. Both socks were rm9.90 each. yes thats cheap and how come it affect my Penang fund? well i have to eat too.......

later, we went back and made a quick stop at carrefour wangsa maju for my toilettries thingy that got postponed this morning and ate at McD. we were wasted and now here i am in my room, reporting.......and done.
