club 21 sale.
once every four years. the messy club 21 sale. where prices are slashed by up to 90% off. yes. you read that right..
messy and
90% off!!!
arranged to pick DM up and head down to
the secret location at 11. ahahahhaa.. what secret location
sia..
cheh..anyway, first impression when i stepped in, i got quite a shock. no, it wasnt crowded like how sales usually are (think its because its a
secret location hehehee..) but cant call it empty also
lah.. thing was, walking in, down the corridor that leads to the various ballrooms, which were filled with merchandise, i saw people changing there and then! no no. no flesh got uncovered, but it was still quite an awful sight
lah.. considering how come of them arent exactly eye candy. haahah..
some stuff like pants, blazers, coats, dresses, etc were hung up on hangers and frames. makes browsing so much easier but they usually were only in one size and last piece.. chanced upon a yohji yamamoto (main line leh!!!)
pour homme light brown pants. medium sized. listening to my friend, i grabbed first and try later. haahha.. but they turned out to be too baggy at the thighs.. didnt exactly look nice though the waist was kind of ok.. oh well..
original price: $400+
sale price: $50.
:x
other items were, i presumed, initially folded and placed nicely in baskets akin to those in departmental stores. but after the
stampeding rhinos bargain hunters went through them, everything was one big mess. worse than a
pasar malam (temporary roadside night market) i tell you. guess they were either searching for different designs or different sizes? but still.. be more considerate lah!! ah well.. made me not even feel like searching for any good buys.
lolx.
and the people.. my gosh.. kids dragged there by parents (there is kids 21 after all..), young people, uncles, aunties, tai tais, housewives, even grandmothers! so many who want to be clad in designer stuff.. but refuse to pay designer prices.. hahahaha.. cheapskate? hahaha.. me? im just a poor struggling student.
lolx.. but looking at everyone there really makes me feel like forgetting it and buy when theres not sale. just to not see such ugly behaviour man..
ugh.. what an awful taste in my mouth..
so about the people there.. there were some really really pretty ladies there.. cant exactly call them girls due to their age right? hehe.. well.. pretty ones. then at the other end of the spectrum, some really.... oh!-my-eyes! kind. HAHAHAH.. at the other end of the gender line, so guys were dressed pretty stylishly too.. then again.. some were just visual pollution man.
LOLX!
due to the lack of changing room, many were trying on their items there and then. some managed to find thick curtains to hide behind (thought they were soon ousted with the curtains drawn back by staff. hahaha!), others just pick up the chosen pants, wear it underneath their skirts, then hike up them skirts to check out the pants.
o.Owhat the hell!!! so unglam lah! but then again.. quite no choice hor.. haha.. others just wear the item over their current clothes and "guess-timate" lor.. hmmm.. there were bikinis from D&G on sale.. wonder how anyone tried them? -cheeky grin- ahahhaaha..
ah well.. three words in my head the whole time i was there.
what.a.mess
i walked away from that place soon after, clutching in my hands a Y-3 (yohji yamamoto-adidas collaboration) and an emporio armani shirt.
M.O.S. poorer by: $80
what.a.mess
