Cheap & Good!

With the price hike in most things nowadays, people are looking at cost-cutting to reduce their burden to match their budget expenses but at the same time are able to spend a little on their hobby. Moreover with the economy downturn last year, people are reducing their spendings on the un-necessaries. I am of course one of them! Nevertheless, my job function requires me to be presentable and so dressing up is very essential. One fine day, curious after hearing about the funs and joys of pasar malam (night market), my friend and I decided to give it a try. We were so thrilled when we first stepped into the haven of everything! You can find almost everything from pasar malam, from food to clothes to shoes to bags! And to our surprise, most of the clothes sold there were actually equivalent to the ones sold in boutiques of shopping complexes but at much cheaper price. Trust me, if you are diligent at finding the right stalls, you will be able to find clothes of very good quality at a super reasonable price!
Look what I have gotten so far...

Malaysia YES

It's December and Malaysia YES (Year End Sale) is here again!! As i've just spent my previous weekend in KL, i have definitely did my part in contributing to Malaysia's economy in KL.
Now, you must be asking where to shop? Well, it depends on what you are looking for. If you are are a brand-avid, you don't have to worry as practically every shopping complex all over the country has branded clothings' outlets. If you want to look for cheap clothes disregard of the brand, then you can go to Berjaya Times Square's 3rd and 4th floor for example. There, you can find clothes from as cheap as RM10. You can also try Sungei Wang's 7th floor. Besides that, a good place for home decoration (and i mean really unique and pretty decos), you can try "Robinsons" at the "The Gardens".

A must-see shop located at Gurney Plaza's ground floor is "Eclipse", a local brand selling from clothes to shoes to accessories and bags. For the current YES, they have sales up to 70% discounts.

I've also been to the newest supermarket in town, Sunshine City @ Pg Times Square. However, i was totally disappointed as Sunshine City only occupies 2 storeys of Pg Times Square. The ladies, gents and children department were combined in the same floor while the groceries takes up 1 whole floor on its own. Nothing much to see in clothings section as spaces were limited. Nevertheless, i kind of like the accessories as the brand provider is a little different from the usual. Another plus point is the price which are rather lower compared to that of other places.
