Had the day off today, so in an effort to reduce my carbon footprint, I took the train down to Bangsar for the FJB sale, taking a chance that despite the fact today was only for HSBC card holders.
So I was in line getting in (long, but fast moving), and saw that they were INDEED checking for HSBC cards, I quickly asked the woman in front of me if she could bring me in with her card (one card admits two). Luckily for me, she said yes. Thank goodness. Didn't take me long to enter as I deliberately wore cargo pants and stuffed my wallet and phone in the pockets.
The only reason why the lines are so long is because the employees were busy stuffing every other woman's handbag into big plastic bags for theft prevention.
So I straight away sought out the Gap offerings; slim pickings for the average sized individual (read: me), great if you wear size 1 or 0 pants. Couldn't help feeling like I was staring at binary code when flipping through the racks and seeing all the 0s and 1s. Tu lan nye.
Went inside the walled off corner which holds the La Senza stuff - only bought 3 more bras for RM90. Panties were mostly of the butt crack-floss variety, so didn't bother. Hint: very short line at the cash counter, so pay cash if you can. It only took me so long because the woman in front of me got confused about the pricing.
Came out and looked through the Gap stuff again. Thought of buying a trenchcoat (just COS they were about RM100 - RM150 each) went through my mind for a microsecond when I saw the tremendously LONG queue to pay. Fuck that - so I left.
Another reason why the line to pay is so damn long is also because people are paying with card, not cash. It takes time for them to process the transaction, ok?
So after that, I bought a couple more things from the Kitchen Shop downstairs (which sells stuff for, you guessed it, the kitchen) and lunch was a breakfast sarnie at Starbucks.
Waited for bus back to Bangsar station when I saw it from the other direction. It being the only bus that plies the route these days and me in no rush, I decided to go on memory lane and go the whole route for the heck of it: to see how much it's changed from my college-going years not too long ago.
