I Specifically Told You Not To, But You Went Ahead And Did Anyway

Just goes to show how bad you are at taking instructions lah. But oh well. 

I think I've lost the mojo of updating daily this week. I think when my days are average, I just go by the motion and that's it. It's only when there're dramatic highs or dramatic lows that I'll end up writing something. So don't expect frequent updates this couple of days, weeks maybe even.

Shopping at Kenanga with the girlfriends was awesome and fruitful! I got 6 tops and 1 work dress, all within a budget of RM200+. The beginning bit was a little meh, but it picked up after awhile. My take on Kenanga is, don't go there for accessories, bags or shoes, Bangkok trumps Kananga in that area haaaands down. But as you go to the lower floors (top few floors were bags and accessories), you can find some pretty decent clothes for okay prices.

Another let down was that many shops only sold stuff in bulk. Like, you'd have to buy all colors of the same dress design, or you'd have to buy all sizes of the whole range of clothes. Otherwise shop owners won't even bother telling you their selling price. That kinda got me upset because I saw dresses that I wanted to get but impossible lah that I buy 7 colors of the same dress or that I buy sizes S, M, L, XL for just the M dress. 

Then again, it's called Kenanga Wholesale City for a reason I guess. So yeah, that's my take. I'd definitely still go back though, where else will you get 7 items for RM200?! Fly to Thailand just to shop is gonna costs me way more lah right, not that I don't have plans to do that. Teehee.
