1 Day Shopping at KL

It's Caturday and my brother said he wanna go KL to do some shopping since he obtained some vouchers for a brand that recently opened its store in KL. And yes, it's the everyone-is-talking-about-it famous Japanese branded fashion store - Uniqlo.

 

Anyway, I don't really understand what's the big fuss about Uniqlo and everyone seems to be so excited about it when it's openings on 4th Nov. Massive crowd and long queue, flooding the area of Fahrenheit88. Everyone was posting about it in Facebook, uploading pictures of their shopping spree goods.

I have no idea about Uniqlo, and I dunno what goods they are famous of. After some google and know they are famous Japanese brand which is very popular among teens. So, we decided to follow him and join the crowd.

We went early around 11am in the morning, parked at Time's Square and walk all the way through Sg. Wang, Lot 10 to Fahrenheit88. It's located at the corner of Fahrenheit88 and consist of 3 floors. Ground floor will be the male and female section, 1st floor female section and 2nd floor male section.

Saw many people choosing clothes and pants and my mum asked me what's the attractive thing about this brand and I said I dunno. Particularly I notice many people were choosing jeans, t-shirt and fleece because those are the promotional items for the opening, selling at a discounted price.

My brother queue up to register his voucher, worth RM40 while we walk around to see what's around. I notice that the clothing here are suitable for cold weather because there are a lot of thick-cloth material clothing, and information boards about the clothing that are able to keep warm, with their slogan of "warming by wearing". Which I think is not really suitable to be wear in Malaysia due to the weather, but no doubt some of them are nice and I wont mind to buy some if Malaysia is a cold area.

 

 The design of the store is very clean and organized with sections for different types of clothing. The fleece is one of the items that caught my attention because I never came across this before. It looks like a sweater and a jacket in combination, and it's a promotional item for this period, for RM49.90 each. I've chosen one for myself, another for my gf and my sis chose one for herself too, all under my bill. And my brother pays for himself with his voucher and additional top up.

 

Bit runaway with the white balance above, and notice many people hanging their cameras around while choosing. I only took some shots for blogging purposes and off I go. So basically, I went in here...

 

and come out with the fleece above. They have a few types of fleece, which include patterned, reversible (can be wear inside out too) and another one with some fur around the collar. So, why do I buy the fleece? Well, because it is Uniq-lo.. Seldom will see such shirt at other stores, so I just buy one to keep and wear when needed, but I doubt I will due to the hot weather here. Maybe just for night time or cold air-cond areas.

After done with Uniqlo, we went to Pavilion, because we never came here before even thou it opens for quite some time already. They are having their Christmas theme decoration and many people happily taking pictures. Seeing many people having a DSLR or a m43 hanging around, you can easily bump into anyone and see them having one on hand, be it noob or pro. And I consider myself as a noob because I aint good at it yet. The pictures says it all.

 

 

My main purpose here is to look for the Crumpler store in Pavilion and we had a hard time to locate it because they didn't put any word sign for their store, only a Crumpler logo at the side. It is located at the level 5, just nearby GSC if I remember properly. However, similar to KLCC branch, they are low in stock as well and need to wait for a restock by the end of the month or next month. I was looking for a 5MDH or 6MDH, but the price is really expensive for a bag of this size even thou I like the design very much. Just touching and feeling the quality of the bag then we say bye bye to Crumpler.

The decoration at Pavilion is really grand, well, no doubt for a higher class place. We left Pavilion and head back to Sg. Wang and Time's Square for some window shopping before we end our 1 day shopping @ KL.
