Sometimes I think the power of an alter ego alone is not enough to accommodate the laborious need of energy required for my hectic pastime. Azman had always notices how naturally and automatically his anemic wife with fitness level of a paralyzed sloth turned fit like Fergie after a fresh steroid dose. This transformation didn’t come often, only at the moment my feet touched the floor of places with goods for sale. And the change was so dramatically drastic I was so convinced that I was being followed by a phantom neither cruel nor helpful; that would possess my body and gave me the extraordinary strength to keep me going. On shopping sprees.
Last week on the 22nd I went to FJ Benjamin sale at Menara PanGlobal. I didn’t know why neither Kak Iena, nor Sya or Yuzmin and the rest of my crazy shoppamaniac friends didn’t wanna go with me. Can you believe Cik Yuzmin kita refused to participate in the adrenaline pumping event of ladies combating each other for the piece of pretty item they don’t even need? That girl ought to get her head check. Tsk tsk tsk!
Anyway along Lorong P Ramlee I couldn’t find a place to park so I drove to Wisma Atrium and guess what? I parked on the 10th floor! Yes honey, ten! As I turned and turned my steering wheel, I sob with utter realization that The Almighty has not created me with a distinctive disability without a reason! I was so thankful I cannot drive a stick!
When I got to the place, well, just like any other cheap sale, there were more people there than in the church on Sundays.. FJ Benjamin carried the brands like Guess, Raoul, and La Senza etc. Men and women alike was carrying bundles of goods in their arms, many had even started to make payment at the cashiers. Was I late? It was only 10.30 and hey I had the fliers memorized, I was sure the sale started at 10am!!
There was a section for selling Guess watches, I took a peek and decided to die another day, getting stampeded on was not in my plan well not before I at least purchased a handbag.
I moved on to La Senza section and got myself a gorgeous super duper hot lingerie corsetty thingy in all black lace and sexy!! And they even had it in my size! And it was only rm50. Happy happy!
I was careful not to over spend again; so I decided it would be better if I made a move right now. I inched my way through shoppers that were swarming the items like bees over honey. Almost all of them were holding nice Guess bags but at the display I saw nothing good, actually I had never been a fan of Guess bags anyway, they were all too Hey-look-at-me!! But while trying to free myself from mob I saw a cute pouch that would be great for taking to the gym at Rm79. So much for not liking Guess bags, I succumbed into the state of bewilderment and bought the bag. Dammit.
Then Rina called, telling that she and Shazmi was on the way. Phew! At least one of my friends was still standing strong dan belum insaf-insaf lagi dalam arena pershoppingan ini. I waited around for her but I could spot neither hers nor Shazmi’s batang hidungs even though they both have really nice hidungs. Haha! At the time was almost lunch hour so even more people was flooding in.
I lingered around the clothing section while I waited for her that was how I saw a cardigan really cute and small with sequins and I ended up buying that too. Rina, it was so your fault!! Luckily it cost only RM69 and the initial price was RM269.
At last I managed to get my butt outta that place without further purchasing anything. As soon as I stepped outside the hall, I felt so tired!! My feet hurt, I didn’t even noticed that I was wearing really high heels when I was inside gasping for breath among hundreds of other shoppers in such a small area. I bet the shop enticing phantom had left my body at that moment. Leaving me with more stuff I didn’t need and less money in my purse. Isk isk!!
