I didn’t bring much clothes to India since it’s just a brief trip. I packed some shorts, singlets and sleeveless tops worthy of summer. Which essentially means, less fabric, slightly more revealing. XD

When I unpacked and dressed up for outings, my dad always had something to say about my attire.

“Locals don’t wear like this,” he declared solemnly.

I looked at myself. Shorts and a nice top, nothing too revealing. And I shrugged it off, because local Indians wear the traditional Punjabi suits and sarees. Which I reckon, makes up to why my dad said that locals don’t dress the way I do.

Till I saw this.

Wtf?!!!!!!!

A few weeks before I saw this, The Times of India (India’s national newspaper) proudly declared Gujarat a ’safe’ state, meaning it’s generally safe to live here. That’s why this piece of news has me all baffled.

If you say that legs are revealing, then what about broad pieces of back and navel peeking out of sarees? And for God’s sake, some women here don’t wear bras beneath their saree tops! Which means standing titties greeting you when you walk past them… *Ahem*

So my wardrobe choice has sharply degraded to…

Harem pants!

Singlets, and pants bought here in India. I never brought any jeans or long pants. It’s insane to wear anything LONG in this weather. 41 degrees OMG WTF.

But, I’ve found new love.

Maxi skirts!

Friends have been telling me I look better in jeans or anything long, drags my height up a few more inches. I hate jeans (coz they leave no breathing room), and I’m glad I found something to substitute. I love the skirt above. Won’t be wearing it again in India - It’s a nightmare walking through slush and dust and going up and down an auto rickshaw. I’ll be dragging this precious thing all over and make it dirty! So yeah… Banished. Meaning another less option in my wardrobe. T_T

Actually, it’s just excuse to shop more nia, ngekz. :P

On another hand, I have plenty of purchases lying around. Such as this baby.

Ah, reminiscence of my ballet days. The Russian Character dance required us to wear an umbrella skirt with lace trimming and high heels. Hardly find any shops in Malaysia sellling full umbrella skirts. But I found this.

BUT, no waist band, no zipper, no nuts. So they’re really just selling you the artwork. @#%$#^W%$Y Sooooooooo I’ll be lugging this back and hopefully someone can help me with making this wearable.

Just LOVE the details. Soooo bling bling.

And do you guys remember this fabric?

I drew a larger version of one of my designs and colored it. I wonder whether it’ll look good when I actually hand the stuff over to the tailor.

Paiseh for the kiddish drawing lol.

Okay, off to bath. Good night dudes and dudettes!

Bummed but not dead yet. =D

Let me intro a little about shopping in India. It can be a very unpleasant experience. If I had my way, I’d just be generally cursing all the Indian sales persons to bits without explaining.

The sales persons in India are simply nasty. They can stuff with you lots and lots of things you are not interested to see, only to turn into a murderous vampire who wishes nothing but to kill you when you do not make a purchase. So your best bet will be keeping a distance from them, and don’t get over-friendly nor spend too much time thinking over an item. If you want it, just grab it, don’t mope around. If you mope around and end up not buying, the people here can turn VERY nasty.

And I bought all the items below from reputable shopping centers. Of all the places that I shop in Incredible India, I shop in a MALL?!!!!!! I should be scavenging around the streets of India, exploring the shops and seeing what the native Indians really do.

Haha, I thought so before I came here. How naive I was. If the sales person in India from a reputable shopping mall can turn so nasty, imagine what those street-side shops can do to you when you walk out their shop without making a purchase. Tried already, they seem to take it very offensive if you enter and don’t buy. I was so eager to really explore but wound up hurt and disappointed. Am never going back to those street-side shops again!

But I dunno lah, we’re like the only foreigners in the whole of this city.

Okay, back to my purchases!

Shopping anytime brightens a girl’s day! I especially love going to countries where the exchange rate is low, like Hong Kong. OMG so syok can just live there forever! Prices are bolded and in Rupees.

India is cotton land! They sell this type of fabrics in abundance. Typically comes in 3 pieces. Rs.499

PICTURE HEAVY POST.
GUYS SHOULD PROBABLY JUST SKIP THIS. XD

Day 28 : 2009-04-12 ~ Anyone horny? Take this.

Available at Waton’s for RM29.95. When everything seems done, the Horny Goat is here to keep you UP!

Nice or not? I want a pair of platform heels so badly~~~~~~~~~ T.T I hate Nine West, makes ridiculously nice shoes for ridiculously mid range prices that makes me indecisive. I can afford it but I’ll be so broke for the month I don’t have money to take taxi home in case my bf decides to dump me on the streets. T.T

Oh… These are from Top Shop btw. It is a bit too rugged for my liking, was thinking about matching these with my dresses. Wanted something more girly. Le sigh.

Day 29 : 2009-04-13 ~ Sushi King conned me wtf.

K lah not Sushi King’s fault. I didn’t know the expensive stuff were not on the RM2 promotion so when my friends rounded up the bill, I paid the fucking most expensive price. T.T

It’s always fun to hang out with my classmates though. :)

Day 30 : 2009-04-14 ~ This is just a hamburger!

My brother crazy wan. When I boarded the treadmill, he did all the settings for me and the speed was too slow. So I proceeded to jack up the speed to varying degrees of 7.5 to 9.5 and I sweated like crazy and nearly fainted. I was puzzled, those are my usual speed, why I can’t handle wan? After running only I realize my bro jacked up the Incline to 4 when I wasn’t looking. %&^%%# Imagine climbing a slightly steep hill top speed for 15 minutes. 

Oh ya, after that, when I was doing barbell lifts, he added two of these on either side. He said, ‘hamburger only!’.

Then after he see me go through these effortlessly, he added two more. I threw him a dirty look and he said, ‘double cheeseburger nia!’.

Wtf!

Day 31 : 2009-04-15 ~ NBTD at Papa John’s

Two blog owners, one drink, one heart. <3 

Day 32 : 2009-04-16 ~ Om nom nom the lala.

As per the title, I am already expecting the horny Google hoarde entering my blog through very wrong means. Don’t care lah. Horny faggots, you can proceed to shag yourself nao. Babai.

So far, 5 comments for posting up a cutesy hamster picture. Weeeeeeei what do you guys mean by that? Am I not cuter than the hamster?

*Pouts*

Okay lah admittedly I am NOT that cute, but thanks for beri muka hor. :)

Today I left college early because I needed to deal with a project that I’ve promised my art teacher I’d do. ‘Twas the only day Akonana was free to bring along his bro and gf to help out, so I figured I lead them for their head start. They can go whenever they want afterwards, where me and Akonana will probably be too busy to bring them again. Huay Xin, I hope you and Lup enjoyed our activity today! :D

Day 3 : 2009-03-18 ~ Om Nom Nom

Lolspeak really grows on me, I never fail to use them whenever given the chance.

The top mangkuk was done by Akonana. Flip it over and you’ll be in for a surprise! But I didn’t take much pics coz my Memory Stick is full. :( Bottom vase is done by myself. Stacked ‘em together to take this picture. My work is always very flat and childish, but my teachers and darling insists that it’s a style that no one but myself can come out with. :)

What does a girl do when she’s stuck at home alone with no one to date?

She becomes… Cheeky with her camera and her makeup.

And did this vain shit. XD By all means not a perfect picture because this angle flattened (yes flattened, not flattered) my boobs, then I forgot to suck in mah tummy, then my skin sucks as usual, expression also very blah, but hey, first attempt wor. Comments please? :)
