blood red
November 12, 2009In Jakarta, I did a double take when I passed by the Chanel store. Because of this.
Blood red Chanels. Apparently their new colour this season. And navy blue as well.
Very Malaysian, don’t you think? All they need is a yellow bag and we’ll have the Malaysian flag vomiting all over Chanel.
I knew my sister would just faint if she saw this because she’s been wanting a red bag ever since she was in my mom’s womb.
I BBM-ed her the photo and there was a long pause.
Me: Have your jaws come back up from the ground?
Sis: OMG OMG OMG…OMGGGGGG…Hold on, let me just wipe the pool of saliva on the floor.
Me: I know right?!!!
Sis: Have you called mom?
Me: Yeah. She said she doesn’t want.
Sis: WHATT!?!
Me: I know!!
Sis: Buy it, v! Buy it!! We’ve been waiting for this bag.
Me: With what? My tears?!! They already said they won’t accept both my arms in exchange for this red delight.
This is why you don’t max out your credit cards to the limit!! Because in emergencies like these, you can’t use them.
But it was about RM 14K if you convert the price in Rupiah. If you buy it in London, it would be a couple of thousands less than that, which is a significant amount of money. So, it’s really not smart to buy Chanel bags or any designer bags in Asia where they impose quite high luxury tax.
As bimbotic as I sound, I maturely walked away from the bag, bid farewell and realised that a girl cannot have everything. Not at my young age anyway. Not yet.
And I’m sleeping well at night, which shows I never really really wanted the bag in the first place. Sometimes, it’s just your impulse and the devil telling you to bankrupt yourself.
HEY PD =)
OH MY GOODNESS, THAT BABY IS SOOOOO HOT!!!
I’ve been reading your bloggie since the past month, and i was blaming myself 4 not discovering it earlier.hmph.
love everything that you wrote about, and i personally find you very entertaining and funny.
keep on writing!
p/s: and yeah, if you happen to have some extra time, do drop by my own pathetic bloggie tht i’ve been working on. Not as fabulous as yours, but ya know, wth.gehe.
that is utterly gorgeous!!!!
the handbag series if written by any other girl usually would come across as shallow and materialistic. but pd found the right balance of making everything sound so fluffy & grounded which is so refreshing ! it’s nice to read about all these kind of stuff without rolling your eyes and going just another spoilt rich kid!
kudos!
ps: it IS a gorgeous bag 🙁
.M.: thank you for dropping by =))) and thank you for linking me under your favourites… i’m so flattered. i’ve gone to your blog and i think you’re doing a really good job…you really love fashion, don’t you? keep it up…will keep reading thebor!
wanderlust: my sister is still drooling. we’re thinking of sending her to the doctor.
:): oh god!! i hope you’re not the only one who feels this way. i really would hate to come across as show-offy…that really isn’t my intention. i’m just sharing my stories… thanks for the kind words =))
that bag IS super gorgeous…but like my dad always says “there’ll be many more gorgeous bags to come and you’ll want those ones too.” hehe
Hye Pd,
I love reading your blog.. its something i look fwd too every morning. I was wondering how much is the biyan top (2 top from above?).. its so pretty.. 🙂
btw pd what do you think or people who uses imitation bags? i really envy you, you can afford buying all those bags and for me i dont have the money to even think of having one. and i usually buy the imitation ones just to look good.. just so you know pd youre so lucky and its every girls dream to be in your shoes..
:))
hahahah your dad so true..!!and i hate the fact it is really damn true…aaarrggg
hmm..i know this is bad and not helping at all…but i’m repressing a gigantic urge to scream “GET IT!!!”. but that’s just the evil voice inside me that i fall victim to from time to time…your restraint is admirable.
wanderlust: stop telling me evil things heheheh
sasha: thanks for your kind words…i know i’m very lucky and if it weren’t for my parents, i wont be able to experience some luxury.. that’s why i want to work hard to be able to fend for myself.
as for your biyan question, i’ve answered it in the biyan post.
u n ur sis both are funny! hahahahaha!
i agree with “:) posted on November 12, 2009”, about the ‘balance’ and how u humbly relate your stories.
