I think I’ve said it before but when Angela came, I fretted over where to take her …

Because she said she didn’t want to go shopping HAIH.

Luckily she came to her senses.

Stark proof ^^

How could anyone not like shopping in Malaysia!

Our street markets offer yummy food, cute clothes, all sorts of household goods – all at inexpensive prices – and yes you can partake in the joy of bargaining. And you don’t have to leave a tip (take that America).

And our shopping malls beat the ones in US flat when it comes to aesthetics and availability of amenities.

Made all the more better with this year’s Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival!

Mega Sale runs from 24 July – 16 September so you have lots of opportunities to catch bargains on all sorts of merchandise from local products, designer goods, Vivi funky fashions, latest gadgets, and yummy dining experiences!

Making your shopping experience even more worthwhile is the fact that many of the retail goods are tax exempted or duty free. From glitzy high-end malls to bustling street markets, you will be spoilt for choice with the endless spread of goods with attractive price tags.

The Mega Sale carnival focuses on fashion this time around *big shiny eyes

There will even be a Best Window Display contest and Shopping Center Awards will be given out to malls and stores that best dress up their premises the fashion theme. I really really wanna see what they can do with it /boo

My favourite place to shop in KL – or the whole of Malaysia wtf – is if you don’t know already Sungei Wang. *bigger shiny eyes

All from that mall eheh.

When I was younger a lot of people I knew didn’t seem to like shopping at Sungei Wang cos they thought it was too lala and only Ah Bengs shopped there. I was even called sei lala mui for a few years by my friends dangit.

But luckily more and more people have realized what they’re missing because Sungei Wang is just chock full of very very cute fashionable clothes at amazing prices!

Ya if you wonder where I got some of my stuff from if it’s not from overseas, it’s probably from Sungei Wang ngehe.

Sungei Wang is my favourite place to shop but Pavilion is my favourite place to hang out 😀 Think I’m there most weekends (matching bow tops from Sungei Wang)

It’s the prettiest mall in Malaysia! That I can’t afford anything from a lot of the shops there doesn’t matter I will get there someday *fire of determination buring

But to be honest, besides high end brands, Pavilion has a lot of affordable stuff too and nearly everything I need can be actually be bought there.

And if you’re looking for good bargains and street markets with lots of noise and color, just head over to Petaling Street where there’s Chinatown, Little India in Brickfields, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman or Masjid India!

Angie in Petaling Street.

Us acting very touristy in Petaling Street.

So that’s that. I’m saving up my money (or what’s left of it after my loan) for the Mega Sale yo.
