i love anything whimsical & kitschy. i enjoy painting, illustrating and singing (out of tune) to my boyfriend.
some of my favourite things include organic food, nylon magazine, dark chocolate, charmingly strange folks, dinner parties, the roaring twenties and period films.
hello hello! I'm thinking i'm still in some people's friends list even though my blog has been dead for eons anyway, i have moved out of LJ to http://thesepreciousthings.wordpress.com/ click okay! :)
i'm such a lazy ass, the previous posts are just youtube vids and lyrics.
well i should be sleeping now but i decided to post a little something.
today, after work, zahir and me waited for ferry to get off work before dinner with fika. although dinner with fika was something i really looked forward to because i haven't seen that woman in eons, i was REALLY REALLY REALLY looking forward to that half hour at inhabit so i can try me some 500 dollar jeans. okay i actually wanted to try that 3.1 phillip lim dress but i was afraid i might rip the damn thing, hell no i'm not gonna plonk down 1k for a piece of sheer black cloth. now, i'm thinking about that russel peters bit about his daddy ripping a shirt for discounts. how much now it's ripped? HAHA.
okay so, i told ferry to give me the skinniest jeans and he gave me pair from tsubi which i have been eyeing for weeks. i actually considered buying a second-hand one for 280 from a friend who was selling her size 24 away cos she ain't a 24 no mo!
well guess what, i'm a 24 no mo either. fuck. i should have known after:
1) i tried a size 0 pair from mango and the skin on my legs couldn't breathe. i thought the damn seams were gonna rip. 2) my old skinny jeans are 'getting smaller' :( 3) i had my measurements done for my baju raya. i'm not gonna post my stats up or yall gonna laugh at me but my hips are up 2+ inches. okay yeah this baby got back but come on if i'm gonna increase below the equator, gimme some bounce up here too! haha.
so i was still in denial and ferry handed me a size 6, i assume that's a 24. anyway it was such a struggle to get into that pair. the hardest part was pulling it up my thighs. goddamn woman what the hell have you been eating? (mushroom swiss meal from bk, 2 sticks of sotong yang masih ada tangan-tangan nya from old chang kee, combo 1 from ljs, maggi mee...these are the meals i often have. that old chang kee is like a daily snack. oh yeah i forgot, those damn chocolate cupcakes from marmalade pantry)
okay so i got the pair up my thighs, phew.
cant.zip.up.
okay maybe if i buttoned it up, the fly would be sorta closerrrrr and i might be able to close these metal teeth.
FAIL!
:(
it didn't help that the inhabit fitting room is ubercool and it's one of those rooms where you can see the outside and the outside sees a mirror where you are like those interrogation rooms. WHAT IS THE PROPER WORD? but you know what i mean. anyway, zahir was right outside the room and he said he could see the bottom part of the room because it was a little transparent. my boyfriend probably saw me struggling because i know my legs and feet were going haywire when i was trynna pull the jeans up. guh.
so i tried a 7. and it fit. it wasn't that flattering up front but that pair really hugged my butt cheeks snugly. there is a reason why it's 489 bucks and a pair from mango is 90. but i'm a broke ass bitch now for two weeks. i think i'm gonna settle for that mango pair when my pay is in BUT i wil tell ferry to reserve one pair for me during their year end sale. shhh.
thank god i didn't buy that pair from ellyna because it would be 280 bucks down the drain.
