But no one cared to explain women’s shopping habits.
You should see how Dean and I shop.
MISSION 1
Venue: Mall
Time: Last weekend
Task: To buy ONE DUSTBIN for the office.
Dean: Ok, this one is too expensive: Brabantia RM 499.
Me: Yeah… *starts to walk away but pauses to take another good look* BUT it’s been chopped off from RM 1299!!! What a greattttt bargain!!
Dean: No.
Me: But look at the metal bit, and how you can push it and it opens. And push it again and it closes!! Genius scientific revelation.
Dean: *walks away*
Me: *pushes the dustbin thingy a few more times* SO NO THEN?? *shouts after Dean who has left the store*
We go to another store at the other side of the mall.
Me: Ok, so this is RM 79. Let’s get this one then.
Dean: Hmm…is it good though?
Me: IT’S A DUSTBIN, not a car.
Dean: Nah…it doesn’t look very good. We’ll wait till we find the perfect one.
The perfect dustbin -___- What I’ve been waiting for all my life.
*mumbles, grumbles, whines, rationalises*
A few minutes later, we go back to the second store and come out with 4 paper bags. We got TWO dustbins (because we need one for the store room) and a magazine rack and two stationery holders and an oversized hand-painted cup and saucer for decoration.
Mission accomplished. And more.
……………………..
MISSION 2
Venue: Any shop in the world
Time: Anytime
Task: To find anything at all
How Dean shops:
1) He’ll make a list on his phone of what to buy
2) Goes to the specific shop
3) Comes out with the specific things in his mind. Maybe even minus one or two because along the way, he realised he didn’t NEED them anymore.
4) If the thing he wants isn’t available, he’ll just shrug, go home and move on with his life.
How I shop:
1) A LIST?!! What ever for? I’ve got it all in my head.
2) Go to the mall (It’s never just one specific shop).
3) Come home with the specific things in my mind. Minus one or two because along the way, I forgot. And add a few things not on list. In fact, there’s only one item actually from the list.
4) Jump up and down –> happy and satisfied –> pause –> panic –> cry –> depressed.
I blame it on the hormones.
Necklace: Elizabeth Cole Zodiac Necklace
Jacket: Sister Margaritta

i missed your shopping trip posts
Just like us when me and friends went to ikea last time. Suddenly need this and that. hahaha. Oh well.
i love your style..
First half sounds like me and my husband-to-be! hahaha
kalo nk jadi gadis melayu sejati, tolonglah tutup badan tangan semua. biarpun anak orang kaya tapi tak berakhlak. Tuhan Yang Maha Esa takkan melindungi budak macam kamu ni. Memalukan orang Melayu sahaja.
TO minahalim : why U confident sgt says “Tuhan Yang Maha Esa takkan melindungi budak macam kamu ni…”adakah kamu TUHAN?lain kali bfikir dulu sblm bkata2.even kalo U nak bg nasihat skali pun,bukan begini caranya.ini mengutuk namanya..ATAU kamu sbnrnya dengki dgn apa yg vivy ada? =)
All: the reason why she hasn’t been putting up her shopping posts up lately is cause there’s too many!! hahahaa
minahalim, u layak ke judge orang? Vivy is better than u. pasal dia still berazam untuk jadi baik. n one more thing, dia ada gak share pasal islam kat blog ni or i should say dakwah. walaupun secara indirect. she`s far better than u. nuff said.
To minahalim….. S E N G A L la ko ni…muahaha….V.. Word of the day is sengal..next time ada org komen mcm minahalim yg prasan-baguih-dok-ada, juz 1 word SENGAL! Peace :))
setiap orang ada pendapat sendiri. Buat apa semua nak bergaduh tentang pendapat orang. kalo vivy tak buat apa apa salah, biar je lah apa orang nak kata. melainkan kalo dia terasa. Bukan mudah nak jadi orang melayu sejati. Fikiran dan hati hendaklah baik dan suci. Sebelum mengata orang, tengoklah diri sendiri dulu. Kamu semua pun sama.
TO isa.. apa yg u cakap tue mmg btol tp apa yg minahalim komen d atas bukan pendapat tapi BIADAB.kalo nak bagi pendapat,kene la BERADAB..btol kan?
hi vivy ..so proud of u since ur blog was featured in Wanita Hari Ini. keep up the good work;)
Err…Just exactly what’s wrong with Vivy’s dressing? What’s with the harsh comments above? Can someone pls enlighten me?!
guys will always be guys…same goes to my hubby 😀 but when he wants to shop his thing, i surrender!
Minahalim n isa seems to be the same person…. Saya rasa la..sebab ayat2 dia tu cam sama je.. Sorry if I’m wrong.
im also curious…not once Vivy has posted anyting indecent and I have seen her person, rest assured her dressing is NORMAL and extremely sopan..even more sopan than some of the tudung clad girls we have seen..yg pakai sendat, senteng,jarang etc
Dear minahalim,
Your post seems to imply that if u cover up, then u are a budak melayu sejati yang berakhlak. What a load of rubbish. Do u think that just becoz someone wears a tudung n tutup aurat that makes the person berakhlak? i went to public uni in this country. The tudung girls are sometimes way worse than the ones who don’t cover up. I know plenty who’ve had sex with their boyfriends.My point is, whether u tutup aurat or not does not define your true character. Look at you, with your utterly rude and unrefined comment. I will never understand haters like you, who whine n bitch but then still balik to read her blog some more. Bodoh tak? Tak suka jangan baca la. Takde org yang ask u to read this blog. Pergilah read blog yang the gals semua tutup aurat, u pun boleh tidur at night properly.
gosh. people are blind if they can’t see how good PD is.
kita semua x layak nak judge org lain… diri kita pun bukan baik sgt… dlm dunia ramai sgt yg suka dengki mendengki… Vivy dia mampu so biar lah dia hidup dgn cara dia dan kita dgn cara kita… dia x ttp aurat sepenuhnya itu dia punya pasal… dia tahu mana baik n mana buruk… cuba tgk diri kita sendiri… so jaga lah diri sendiri x payah la nak menyebok hal org lain…
to vivy : whatever it is i still support u! u are so cute with dean… May Allah bless U and ur family… amin… 🙂
vivy comel je…. eheee…
what the h*** happened here…please la xpayah nak judge sesiapa kat sini. Nobody perfect. Stuju dengan Zen…xder sape2 paksa sape2 to read PD blog. And orang yang bertudung bukan semuanya baik. Trust me. Me myself wear tudung malah tudung labuh lagi but seriously, personally Vivy is much more better then me. saya kenal dia. Dia bukan macam anak orang kaya yang kita boleh tengok kat tv, sombong berlagak and gedik…she’s different. Maybe dia ada kekurangan,so what? sapa yang perfect? if anybody perfect, please tell me…I want to see that person.
p/s Vivy: I know its hurt to read negative comments but don’t bother…its not worth it. Cheer up girl >.<
Totally agree with Zen and Syirah Ahmad! If u have nothing nice to say about Vivy pls dont say anything at all coz she sure has TONS of fans who will stand by her and continue supporting her despite these minority of people who seriously has problems with their own lives I bet…
Oops.. ‘have’ not has problems…duh… And this minahalim pls try to be more sensitive towards people’s feelings… am sure Vivy’s parents are very proud of what she is and reads her blog – how wud minahalim’s parents feel if people say their daughter is ‘tak berakhlak’- somehow I think it’s one of Vivy’s acquaintance whose jealous of her success, her life… or maybe I’m watching too many soap operas…
perkara terbaik ialah bersyukur dgn rezeki yg Allah beri..dan tanda kesyukuran ialah taat kepada yg Esa…jadikan Al quran panduan hidup.
… hahaha njoying your post vivy 😀
…just imagined your sparkling eye towards dean but he just move on to another shop for a better choice i guess 😉
Hahaha…so true :))
