customer service

Topshop sweatshirt & jeans, Salvatore Ferragamo flats & Calvin Klein's backpack

My mom had previously experienced a terrible customer service and I couldn't get why she was flustered by this whole incident knowing that she will soon get refund from the bank. But the other day, I found out the very reason why since I was experiencing it first hand. It's all about how the promoter/person-in-charge was treating you. Yeah, money was indeed the issue but the way people treat me was what made things worst. I was lucky because my money was returned 2 days later by the bank but what left me flustered was the fact how (note: some) promoters do not practice common courtesy. I received no apology and no assistance of anyone trying to help me to get the money back. I had to call up Maybank myself to seek for refund. Maybe it's because I look like an incompetent high school girl (just got back from a long day at college) who might be potential shoplifter; the very reason why they thought I was not worth of their common courtesy. 

I left Topshop empty handed although I truly wanted to purchase that pair of jeans and I could always pay for another one. My emotions got the best of me and I acted arrogantly; I'm not proud of myself of how I acted but you know what, there's no bad person, there's only bad situation. I learnt my lesson and if each of us have the courtesy to treat others better and not make things worst, all of this could have been different. So guys (note to self too), please practice common courtesy. Say sorry when you need to, say thank you when you need to. You might just make someone's day brighter. It's not that difficult since the very next day I was offered the best customer service I've experienced in Topshop (a different store) and finally got my hands on this pair.

Updated: I received formal apology from Fashion Fast Forward regarding this matter, so it's all good now ;)

style story

When it comes to experimenting with clothes, I was a lot more courageous when I was younger but as I grew up, things changed. I buy what I feel good in rather than what looks pretty on the rack. Growing up too has changed a lot of things, I have more options although at times I do get lost on what am looking for. It has happened to me a lot of time, especially when I'm all caught up with things in college and my personal life.

So, what would I do if it happen? I'd try going on tumblr and my favorite blogs to remind myself of what I love but the last time I had that moment, none of the aforementioned help. That's when I would turn to things I don't usually go for. This time, it was browsing through Girls Generation's off-duty outfits. Surprising to say, they remind me of how I want to dress and that helped me getting back to my everyday dressing. Having to experience that explained on how even the most stylish person ever too, can go wrong. Cause style has a lot to do with how you feel, how I feel. When we feel good, it'll show. When we don't, it will too. The very reason why every morning, I'll get up knowing I have no special occasion on that day and yet, walk to the closet and put on the best looking clothes I can find for that day.

As for girls generation, my favorite is this one. 

Rome was not built in a day

Does it seem too odd for me to have a wide grin plastered across my face while I touch the clean crisp Double A A4 paper right before I hand it to my lecturer? My contentment right now is looking at words after words arranged with absolute consideration on the A4 paper in Times New Roman, font 12 with double spacing. Although I procrastinated, I learnt my lesson quickly. It hit me I had 4 papers due in two weeks time and most of them are only half way done. It's either do it or forget it business. I had no choice of course, I succumbed to my always not to declare defeat till the very last minute attitude and started typing. I forgone my usual weekend shopping trip. I forgone my sleep. As I started looking around, I realized I was much ahead of my friends who started way earlier than I did. I guess this is why the say,

when there's a will, there's always a way. 

there's no other reason

Coming back home to a brand new album by my favorite singer is a treat like no other. It's been a roller coaster ride but today it's different, I'm feeling inspired to do better and strive even higher. 

Sometimes when it feels like you're the one remaining constant in an ever-evolving world, it can get really lonely. 

Bright red

When someone ask me, "What's your favorite color?". Red is definitely not one of it. I'm no fan of red but when I look at the amount of red clothes I have, I might have to reconsider my choice of favorite color. The amount of red clothes equal if it doesn't top the amount of black clothes I have. Next time you see me shopping, please remind me not to get the red one.

keeping it simple

I'm one of those girls who takes my choice of coffee seriously. When it comes to dressing up, it's no leave it for later matter either. Just because what I wear contributes a lot to how I feel on that day too. Today, I didn't really want to think about what to wear since I had to sit for an exam and my body isn't in its best condition neither. Tried to keep it simple with a pair of jeans and my favorite tee which is literally tearing apart. Hope you all are having a better week than mine. Happy Labour Day to all Malaysian workers. Let me just remind you that you guys are indeed amazing; thank you for making Malaysia for what it is today. Xx

run run away

I love running. It's probably the only sport I like to play. Yeap, I'm a loner like that. It's an excuse but because my everyday life evolve around people so much that running has unintentionally become my own personal me time. The adrenaline rush it gives is beyond indescribable. It keeps you pumpin' and wanting for more like drugs. But of course, in a healthy way. I just feel a lot happier if I run or work out.

When it comes to running shoes though, it's a different story. I was never courageous enough to pair it with any of my outfits. My running shoes usually end up at the back of the shoe closet as my love for heels prevail just about every single time I get dress. Things changed right away though when I saw this pair online. Charming with its perfect monochrome shade, it was no brainer I would go for this pair over any other "cooler" ones in store. I waited months for it to finally show up at the local Nike store, almost gave up but fortunately, I didn't. So here it is, all ready for the next great workout. Just wanting to ensure the fact that I was getting the right size, I did lunges in the middle of Nike store. Now, talking about going over the limit...

white situation

Embracing the all-white trend while trying to resist myself not to spill any coffee on it. I'm an absolute expert at spilling coffee on all my college notes and books, so being all graceful was not an easy feat for me. Although I do deserve a round of applause for coming back intact, clean and crisp by the end of the day. Okay maybe I cheated with a black skirt but heeey, we're looking at the bigger ratio here.

amazing weekend

I've been ditching the blog and while I seek for your forgiveness, may I present to you what I've been working on for quite awhile. It was quite a whirlwind throughout the whole preparation stage but may I say, it has to be the best weekend of 2013 yet. I came across outstandingly amazing people and I even melted the iron core also known as getting my legal studies teacher to fully express herself, you would be quite amaze on what she response too. It was a distraction for me to be in plain black suits all weekend but worry not, I had my 4 inch heels on the whole time. Trying to preserve the me from within.
