Or at least, Red Herring.
[I do think my posts are more boring when I'm not bitching.]
We rarely ever go to Gurney Paragon, because we're afraid of narrow parking lots and walking isn't my thing. Since Jellybunny opened in Paragon yesterday, my mom and I thought we'd sojourn there today.
Before heading to the store, we stopped by the Godiva chocolate shop. Surprisingly, European premium chocolates really are cheaper than in Malaysia (I'm surprised because I hear European things are more cheap in Europe but so far I've not encountered such things yet), like, by a huge margin.
What's sold in France for EUR4.00 is sold here for MYR32.00.
ACTUAL SIZE. |
So, kids, remember: when you're in Europe and you see a Godiva, you buy those chocolates even though the exchange hurts, because that exchange will hurt far less than not exchanging.
Chocolates aside, we went to Debenhams next. It's my second/third time visiting the place, so I figured I might as well try something on for once.
That 'something' was two dresses, and both fit my bodice like nobody's business. I'm rather big-boned, so dresses either bunch or tighten up at the back (don't get me started on the front), and I end up in a dress that's very obviously one size bigger than it should be (which is why I don't really buy fitted dresses).
These fit me like a glove, up top. And that's a phrase I rarely get to use, because it never happens.
I ended up buying only one, because the other had a slit mid-knee, which is weird when sitting. And it's expensive!! The one I bought retails for MYR245.00 here, whereas Debenhams online tells me that it's GBP35.00. That's like, a MYR100 difference!!
This is the one I didn't buy. You don't notice the slit so much in this picture because of the black stockings, which I don't wear. |
We finally made it to Jellybunny (it was extremely packed for a tiny shop) where I bought a pair of maroon flats for MYR59.00. Then after that we went back to the Plaza for lunch where I stuffed my face with fried rice and fried cuttlefish.
And... that's my day done. Toldja it'd be boring when I'm not complaining.
