I got a glittering gold dress from Miss Selfridge last year for New Year. They gave me a beautiful paper bag and I was smitten ever since. Today, I walked past their store again. I remember seeing a cute skirt displayed on their rack last year - but being out of budget, I didn’t get to buy it - so I walked in to find that particular skirt. To my disappointment, it wasn’t there anymore. And to make things worse, there weren’t any skirt displayed AT ALL! *sob* CB lah, I should’ve bought the skirt when I first saw it..
There were a few girls in the store browsing for CNY clothes, I assume. Most of them picked the color RED, obviously for good luck. I think. And then I thought, Hey, why not get a red top for CNY myself? And quickly I picked the first cute red top I saw. EEK! I look like a huge angpow (red packet)! Returned the red top and picked a black top with a hint of pink.
HUGE pink flower actually :-P
Just a simple top lah.. nothing fancy
Paid RM129 for the top expecting to see another pretty paper bag - until I saw the cashier put the top into a plastic bag! (Even the lady who paid for RM300+ for her clothes also got a plastic bag)
Fugly plastic bag!
What am I gonna do with this?
Put on top of my head when I’m bored??
I think they’re only giving away paper bags on special occasions like Christmas. Hey wait, CNY is also an occasion lah!! Apa lah… cis. Best part is, I am RM129 poorer: all because of my greed for a cute skirt and pretty paper bag. I shall start eating Maggi from tomorrow onward. Hahahaha..
Anyway, since I no longer celebrate CNY, I think the top would be a best excuse to shop for a CNY and Valentine’s Day top. Heh.

i think ive already tell you this crap…when i was shopping for xmas at Parkson KK…i saw some ladies went out of the stores with pretty paper bag…they didnt buy much actually so i thought maybe they’ll give me one too. But no..i only got that Parkson’s yellow plastic bag. Not satisfied of getting just plastic bag, i asked the cashier if i could have a paper bag.
“Oh paper bag untuk belian 200 ke atas saja bah”
Chis! I only need about 40 bucks to just get the paper bag. But i just cannot stand my hubby’s eye jeling2 at me already. LOL
But that is a nice top. I like the pink flower motives on it.
