Good News (I think) :p

Hello ladies and gents, how're you doing? Still in holiday mood kah? I reached Boston on Tuesday after a very longgggg flight. Sigh.

Anyway, I received many emails asking me whether I will be willing to re-open this shopping service or exclusively be their sales assistant. Isshh isshh uols ni., exclusive lagii...over taww! :) But after a long thought and discussion with my friends and family I decided to re-open this service to:

1. Customers outside Malaysia
2. Customer in Malaysia who is willing to take the risk if the parcel might get stuck in Kastam (I jumpa akak kastam hari tu dia kata kalau barang tak banyak dan harga tak lebih 100 dollars diorang tak tahan)

However I will only cater certain items for certain brands. The list as below:

Items:

1. Handbags/wallets
2. Shoes
3. Jeans
4. Shirt
5. T-shirt (please be informed to customer in Malaysia tax untuk baju adalah 30%)

Brands:

1. Coach, LV, Burberry, Prada dan yang seangkatan dengannya
2. Guess, Juicy, Bebe, CK, Nine West, Michael Kors, Ed Hardy (retail store not outlet)
3. The only brands in outlet that I'm willing to buy are RL, Tommy and Levi's.

I will not entertain online shopping anymore since the return policy is such a hassle and I always end up losing money :(

New rules:

1. Maybank International withdrawal charge is RM 12 and maximum withdrawal is RM 1000. Therefore you have to bank in extra RM 12 in every RM1000 transaction.

2. As for Paypal users I have to check the rate again. It will be more expensive than Maybank though and it takes 1 week for me to get the money (3 biz days to clear into my Paypal account and another 3 biz days to clear into my bank account). So, if you have any friends/relatives in Malaysia perhaps you should use them :D

3. If you decided you didn't like the items that you order after I have bought it, I will still take 5% from the 10% charge I impose on you (penat ye ulang alik pi kedai, beratur apa semua lagi). If you canceled the order I will return back the money.


Having said that..kalau nak hantar order sekarang sudah boleh ye :)

Note: Ada lagi 2 customers tak pick up barang dari my sister. Sorang nama Angel sorang lagi beli VS toiletries bag. Sila ambil dengan segera ya. To Intan who drop many comments about her Nine West shoes - I dah banyak kali hantar email kasi tau kasut tu takde. Sila reply email I kalau nak duit balik ye dahling?

Bad News...

Dear readers,

After weeks of consideration - I decided to stop this service.
..unless you're willing to take the risk.

The major reason is because I think the Kastam has detected me. By right any merchandise from outside Malaysia will have to pay import tax. The rate is pretty high especially for handbags. It's like 40% of total price+sum insured. It's totally absurd...

$$$$$$ please!

I did some trick so my clients don't have to pay the expensive tax. But apparently, the Kastam has detected me due to frequent shipment la I rasa. The last two parcels I sent to my sister kena tahan Kastam and I have to pay my own money for the fee.. it wasn't cheap to cheat at the authority ok. Adik-adik sila jangan ikut contoh kakak, heheh. Hmm..even though I want to help you beautiful people and i had so much fun shop for you, but it is risky and too costly now..

If you're a dare devil and nak try jugak, I have no problem to help you. Maybe tukar style kotak ke alamat ke apa heheh. But kalau sangkut I will not bear the import tax ok. Barang selain handbags murah sikit tax dia and we can always tweak the price a little bit.

I lepak kat New York jap before balik KL. Nak makan kebab arab tepi jalan, kempunan. Itu hari many asked me about the HRC hoodies gambar tengkorak. So, if you want just let me know. Or anything from Boston or NYC la basically (except shoes and handbags sebab tak muat bag). First come first serve basis.

Also, I'm interested to open small shop for these kind of merchandise in KL. Branded stuffs with cheaper price. I'm browsing for the kedai now, but will only start by next year if I found the right place for the business. So, if you have any vacant shop in good location (kalau hulu tak mau ye), send me the pics and your quotation. The size should be enough to put 3-4 fitting rooms and reasonable size area for the merchandise. Preferably close to offices or students. I'm gonna pick one that value for money and chics!

Alright, that's all from me. I'm very sorry that I have to discontinue this service but..I had to. It was a blast while it lasts and thanks for your time/purchase. Selamat hari raya & Maaf Zahir Batin.

Love,

Dani California.

The Shop Is Officially Temporary Closed

Today is Friday August 14th. I will close this 'shop' for 2 months. It is Indian Summer here and soon I will have to fast from 4 AM until 7.48 PM. We do not have Param that I can go to buy ALL their food for 30 minutes of feasting (I look at berbuka as a small feast and hari raya as a big feast). So, I don't think I have the energy to go out and shop. Duduk rumah mengaji je (elleh berangan) :D

I know that people ask forgiveness before hari raya but well many things happen during this service and I just want to take this opportunity to apologize if I ever giving unpleasant tone to you, or lambat balas email, or late at buying your stuffs, or forgot to add your email in my shopping list thus I forgot to buy your stuffs even though you have paid (but I think so far I takdelah ambil duit you all, kalau I lupa beli and you cancel I bagi balik duit you), or any unpleasant experience you have with me. It's certainly not all smooth service but I tried my best to juggle between my job and doing this service. Nanti if my bro ikut I datang US insyallah you guys will get a better service. Habislah jadi metrosexual adik ku itu. heehee!

I've got to know many nice people too. Like..very nice. You guys are awesome and I'm not even sugar coating here :) I like Americans because of their good manners and respect towards women even though their women sometimes can be very rough to handle. I like my Malaysian fellows because of your modesty and friendliness. And shall I add patient? Sometimes if you send me email when I was on my PC replying other emails I would give prompt reply. But sometimes there were emails that I read when I woke up and totally forgot about it after shower. For that I apologize.

I will re-open the shop in October after I came back from KL. Until then maybe takde entry kot I nak letak kat sini. Thank you a zillion for browsing and using my service. Also special mention to Hanis Zalikha for her kind promo. Hopefully you'll visit this shop again after raya ;)

To all muslims selamat menyambut puasa dan semoga Ramadhan mubarak kali ini lebih bermakna untuk semua. Insyallah. I do not have the knowldge to quote from the Quran so I quote Rahim Khan in The Kite Runner "There's always a way to be good again". As long as you keep trying ;)

To all non-muslims enjoy the delicious food in pasar ramadhan and berbuka buffet. You'll never get better Malay food 'festival' than this ;)

Assalamualaikum.

For The Siblings


Today while I was busy running some testing, my brother IM me. The conversation goes like this:

Him: Adik, nanti kamu tolong belikan aku punya Polo-T Ralph Lauren. Size M.
Me: OK
Him: Tapi jangan beli slim fit tau. Beli classic atau custom fit. Hari tu kamu beli slim fit, Cikno kata aku gay!

*Cikno is the other brother

Muahahhahahahahahha. Not that I have anything against homosexual. I mean, look at me, am I really in the position to judge? I'll leave that between you and your creator. It's just that, the way my bro said it sangat kelakar. I can imagine his face when he said that. hihihihiihihiii!

So after picking up my dinner from my cook (mengada kan ada cook bagai) I went straight to the outlet. I always do that when I was in stress. I thought of buying my mom a handbag, but..I end up walking out from Ralph Lauren poorer by over 200 dollars. And none of the stuffs are my mom's. Told ya, shopaholic tegar.

Below are some of the stuffs. Excuse the study table. I put the pics I bought from NYC the other day on the table to motivate me :p 

If you're interested with any of these, you can write to me. Next weekend will be my last trip to the outlet before Ramadhan. So, your last chance to make an order ;)

RL Women's Slim Fit Light Blue $ 50. This one size '0', very rare to find RL shirt that fit me, terus saya rembat.



I fall in love at the first sight with this sweater. You will not know this is RL's if you didn't check the engraved button. I like it that way, not really a fan of big logo, unless it's really unique. It has 5 button that will be useful during winter. This sweat shirt costs me $ 60. Worth every penny. Terus pakai lepas masuk kereta, dan dan je sejukk kann :p

Someone asked me if there is any long sleeve t-shirt. This one is very simple and comfortable long sleeve T from RL. It comes in cream, black, yellow, dark blue and orange I think. But I think this one looks the nicest. $20. There is another one in stripe with softer materials sells at $25 but I don't think it looks that nice. 

V-neck t untuk lepak mamak. RM 100 all inclusive.

This is for my sister-in-law. Suami tersayang mintak belikan. I couldn't find dark color, RL is known for its pastel color shirt. Pakai je lah pink ni Kak Asmahhh. It would compliment your fair skin! Oh and this is slim fit so I bought you size 14. Sila pegi kedai RL and try baju size 14 ye, tengok muat ke tak okeh? Readers, if you want it is $50.

This is for my sister whom I am not sure what color to buy her. I think she has all RL colors already. I hope she doesn't have any yellow yet. This is classic fit, so I bought size 10. It looks pretty big, can you please check your size at the store? Readers, this is $50 too.

My bro's polo-T yang tak gay. Navy with light blue stripes. $45.

Alright, habis pasal baju RL. This is some stuffs I bought from Coach. As you can see I always interested in their leather so, if you need signature bags please let me know.

COACH Leather Pleated Gallery Tote  
RM 720 All inclusive (this is the price for the tote only, does not include the wristlets)

(It comes with cream and dark blue color. The black only has 3 left in the outlet)



Super cute wristlet at RM 280 each.

 Others

Jackets for my eldest brother from Tommy Hilfiger. This is sold out so you cannot buy. Just put it up so my siblings can go "ooo Yeop dapat jacket free?? Tak aci!" heheh!

Guess T RM 145 All inclusive.

Sorting Out Orders

Hi there,
I am such a slop especially when I am super busy for release tomorrow. So, I have this transaction in my Maybank that I haven't withdraw yet. Some of your orders I already bought with my money some I haven't buy yet. I tried to check the transaction history in Maybank2u, unfortunately it is always unavailable. I will check the email copy to me of transaction that was made to my account. From that I can track your email and orders and take note how much you still owe me.
But I think there were some of you who made transaction without any proof of transaction sent to me. To make things easier - whoever have paid but haven't received their items yet please send another email to me with the list of items you want to buy.
So far I only know about Elly who wants stuff from etsy which I should return the money back because I didn't manage to make a purchase in that website. Not sure why. Other than her it was Alia who sent money for Beau Comp products. And then Intan who bought stuffs for herself and her brother. Sue who is still in shopping mode and keep adding stuffs :)
Other than these 4, please send me an email again about your transaction, proof of transaction (if not sent yet) and stuffs that you orders. Most probably I have bought them and it's on its way, but just to be safe - send me another email. Sorry for the trouble but please bear with kebizian your part-time sale assistant okk :p

Retail Therapy


I get so kusut today so I went for retail therapy and bought a pair of red shoes. It was from Baker's which I think more popular for its flat sandals. It's a trend now everywhere in Boston women are wearing very very flat sandal. But for myself which not even 5 feet, flat sandal is a no no. Tenggelam I kat tengah-tengah mat saleh ni. It's gorgeous eh? It looks super duper cun with my Guess jeans, I wear it right away after I paid for it. Yeah, I am crazy like that :p

Then I went to the Guess store and bought my mom a Raya watch. It looks nicer than the pic, like wayy nicer. She has been hinting her watch got karat already. So, maybe it's time for a new one. 

The hoodie is from HRC New York. I started to like skulls a lot after my short romance with Ed Hardy. They're likee very cool ok. Expensive, but cool :)

Ok got to sleep now. The TV shows movie about some loving couple in an open relationship or something. This movie is weird. Gotta go, enjoy your day chale~





Baker's High Heels $31

Hard Rock Cafe New York Hoodie $42


Guess Women's Watch for my mom $105

Crocs Crocs



Sorry ye anak-anak I'm very busy with work. Due to high number of request I put up the pic of Crocs Alice Red color. It's only 19.99 BUT if you add the shipment fee and my fee (which takde fee pun because kalau keluarkan dari Maybank ATM they deduct 4 dollars) - the price will be the same as the one in KL. So..I think it' not worth it. The owner of the shoes above dah cop bag I and bag untuk balik raya sudah penuh. 

You have only until August 14 which is the next Friday to order because I'll be in hiatus for 2 months (puasa and balik raya maa). The next order will only be available by October 16th. Ok tataa nak sambung buat keje daaa~
