Gucci Moment

Joey G during G-Timeless launch in Malaysia

Aaron Kwok with Harpers Bazaar in Gucci (i liked this one more but they only have M size left) so I had to take the blue one which is in size S

And the evil genius Megamind with ultra villain So High Fashionista! ( I watched it twice with 3D and without)

End of the Year Sales

Yup the time that many shopaholics have been waiting for is here ! its almost December and that means end of the year sales is very near. Some boutiques have already started their sales , and I heard there is great discount in Starhill Gallery boutiques started from 12th November.

Of course it is a no brainer for anyone not to purchase anything yet until end of the year sales kicks in , so few days ago I've already scouted for the stuffs that i should purchase.. and on top of the list is this Gucci camel velvet jacket . They only 1 have size which is XS , which is fortunately my size. The price is at MYR6780 , it cost alot thats why i am taking high risk waiting to purchase it when its on discount... (since it is one and only piece they have here)

tried it and it perfectly fits me , but that is not the main reason why it is a must have for me..

YES . this is a biggest reason that i am getting it! P. Diddy wore it when he was on David Letterman show. Definitely a chance i should not miss to be able to wear the same cloth as P. Diddy! i really hope it doesnt sell until sales.

and another one in my priority list is a Zegna suit. Not the main line Ermenegildo Zegna , but the more fashion forward and slim cutting Z Zegna line. (much like Emporio Armani to Giorgio Armani). The fitting of the suit was fantastic which is right on my size 44. The cutting is amazingly slick and fit which feels youthful. Too bad I dont have much use for suits , At the moment i have 2 suits and it is very rare for me to have opportunity to wear them... and the sales associate that served really gave me great impression , as he know what he was talking about , and he can actually tell my size without me telling. His selection of suit for me to try on was fantastic just spot on what i was looking for.

Anyway when i was testing the suit it remind me of the scene in The Family Man acted by Nicholas Cage .. when he was trying on the Zegna suit before christmas but his wife didt let him and bought him an imitation Zegna as christmas present instead ... (Hey Christmas is near too now! just look at Pavilion decoration you can feel very christmas like lol)

Some interesting note about Zegna , this year they had just celebrated their 100th year anniversary.. and I read recently in a local magazine that every men should have at least 1 Zegna suit in their wardrobe. So this Z Zegna retails at 4400 will definitely be part of my wardrobe soon.

Among others in my mind that i am considering if I have the budget would be :

Giorgio Armani Oxford Shoe , retails at MYR2900

Giorgio Armani Leather Belt with logo buckle , retails at MYR1300

Giorgio Armani Silk Shirt MYR2800

Giorgio Armani White Shirt with Black print inside like vest MYR 3600

Gucci Chinos ,retails at MYR1500

Gucci Belt with classic buckle , estimate retails around MYR1,000+

Prada White Shirt retails at MYR1800

Anyway in case you guys were wondering what I was doing in Pavilion and KLCC besides scouting for stuffs I also did some shopping and sent alot of pants for alteration (shorten the lenght)

voila.

Its the Gucci G-Timeless Watch collection that recently released , way too many magazines keep talking about them and my budget happens to be under 4,000.

Well alot people questioned my purchases as why go for a designer brand watch? why not go for a watch from proper watch makers. Well to answer that question , i am a label whore .. but thing is luxury watches are too expensive and out of my budget , as for other watches brand under 4,000 they are just not that well known to most people . Only those who are into the brand or into watches would know about them. As for Gucci everyone knows them .. some asked why not go for entry level Tag which cost around 4k , well the entry level tag are rather "sporty" and i am not an outdoor person so it would be ridiculous for me to purchase such watches..as for the more elegant Tags. they are well way over my budget at over 10k+ like Carerra etc.

So in the end I just settle with this Gucci which retails at MYR3690 with 15% discount

here are some details about the watch

(mine is white color inside though)

- stainless steel bracelet with deployment buckle

- stainless steel case, diameter 38mm

- black dial with diamond pattern and sun-brushed G frame with 12 diamonds

- date 4 o'oclock

- quartz movement

- sapphire crystal with anti reflective coating

- water-resistant to 3 atm (100 feet/30 meters)

- swiss made

- 2 year warranty

Shades I bought in Melaka

both for MYR1400 after discount

A week in Ritz Carlton Suite

I am in KL again :D and this week i am staying at Ritz Carlton Residence Suite, Bukit Bintang for the whole week. It is very ideal place to stay for like me as I enjoy living in heart of Kuala Lumpur golden triangle. Ritz Carlton located just within walking distance to Pavilion ,Starhill Gallery , Lot 10 and the new shopping complex Farenhait. Besides wealthy tourists and expats , I also bumped into Jimmy Choo and Dato Sheikh Muszaphar in the lift. Well if even Jimmy Choo stays here this place must be very fashionable indeed.

Apart from nice location the hotel manager is also a very nice person , we enjoy hospitality given by Mr Joshua ,he also invited us to the hotel lounge and offer us to grab light bites while we wait for the hotel valet to take our car from the underground parking.

Now for our room , we stayed in a humble suite with 1 master bedroom, 1 bedroom , 1 office , a kitchen with storeroom and 4 toilets (guest toilet at the entrance,kitchen's toilet,bedroom's toilet connected to the office room and lastly the master bedroom's toilet) this room is quite modest compared to the higher room which comes with butler ... anyway few days later when my sisters came we took another suite on the same floor (there is only 2 suites on our floor) so pretty much we have the whole floors for ourselves lol , the second suite has an extra room compared to the one i stayed.

This is the entrance of the suite, the doors leads to the guest's toilet

The living hall

The Dining table in the living room

The master bedroom's toilet

The wardrobe in master bedroom

The bedroom's toilet

The kitchen
The door leads to second entrance of the suite , perhaps you can order room service to serve your guest without letting them know about it lol
Besides the fridge is the kitchen toilet and the opposite of it is the storeroom.

The storeroom is for housekeeping used to replenish room supplies
The living hall
The master bedroom

The reading room
The reading room at night view

This is my breakfast a RM48 buttermilk pancake

RM45 mushroom soap and RM24 orange juice , i like the mushroom soup it taste exactly like my favourite mushroom soup that can be found in East Grill ,Air Putih , Kuantan at the fraction of the price lol.

edit: since many readers interested to know how much per night stay in the suite

for 2 bedroom suite MYR1600+ per night

for 3 bedroom suite MYR1800+ per night

Small Details

So as I was told that a pocket square can enhance the elegance of suit , so I went to grab a Hermes pocket four at Pavilion. It was a red pocket four made of 100% silk , it has cats and mice as the decoration which is very cute thats why i choose it lol, but u wont be able to see it unless you come up close. So its kinda like a secret pleasure. Luckily the price wasnt far from my estimation which is at MYR 530

I was quite shock to see how such small details can change the overall look of the suit! And I am really happy with this purchase with no regret at all

This is me posing infront of UMNO building in the hotel room that i stayed for the weekend. I dont really like to stay at tall places , but i had no choice since Club rooms are only 27 onwards (Club rooms guests are granted access to Club Lounge on 30th floor(highest floor) where u can hang out or have breakfast instead of the normal hotel coffee lounge at the lobby) Although the normal breakfast has more choices of food but you cant really enjoy your breakfast when its crowded with people

at the club breakfast although they serve less choice of food but you get to have nice scenic view of Kuala Lumpur during your breakfast and opposite of our table are the hotel's Managing Director's family , so it was a great experience to have a more peaceful hotel breakfast buffet experience. I was told by one of the waiter there that the Club Lounge are only crowded when there are UMNO people are around.

Some pictures when i was at the Lobby , i am using the other side of the pocket four which has the cartoon

Trying to match the jacket with my Gucci pants and Giorgio Armani shirt

Emporio Armani was having a special 15% discount for 3 days for their new A/W 2010 collection so I went to grab some stuffs 1 day earlier.

Always wanted a blue jeans luckily found a nice Armani Jeans(AJ) jeans at a bargain price too MYR800 before the discount , luckily I didt get the Gucci one which is sold at MYR 2400 \ or the Prada one that close to MYR 2000 since i am quite content with this one. (hey got what i wanted for, at fraction of the original price i thought i would have to spend)

Another small detail accessories to compliment my look, Emporio Armani silver cuffling , there was another one with the design that i like which is also cheaper but unfortunately it was made of stainless steel. So i choose this silver one instead at MYR799

Finally found a v-neck tShirt that i've always wanted to wear with my jacket casually (seen alot Korean actors wearing sport coats with v-neck tshirts , there was another one priced at MYR 1599 but Made in Italy , this one is made in Turkey at 1000 Ringgit cheaper lol so it takes no brainer to choose this one! it has the Emporio Armani logo at the back but wont be seeing it when I wear it with my jacket.

How I try to match my 'chef's' pants

Just to share on how I try to match my Gucci Pants that my brother in law made fun of , he said it looked like chef's pants! and no kidding i bump into a chef in an elevator before having the same pattern of the pants as this Gucci Pants but thank god I wasnt wearing that pants that time lol.

Well here is the story behind how I bought it. I was around KL when my parents came to KL to attend Datuk K's daughter wedding (not Siti's Datuk K a different one! but from Pahang also)

most of VIPs from Pahang including KDYMM Sultan Ahmah Shah and Dato Seri Adnan Yaakob (Chief Minister) attended the wedding and at that time I had no suitable pants to match therefore I went to look around in Pavilion since its nearby the hotel which is the venue of the wedding, in my quest looking for a decent pants and this pants on display in the mirrored table caught my eye.

Immediately after trying it i fall in love with it as it has very good fit on me (except the lenght of course i am short hehe only 173CM) , so i got it altered before the wedding. But its abit pricey at MYR 2300 and there was no discount.

so here are the photos i took trying to match the "chef's" pants

Raya Celebration

This year Raya has been exciting compared to last year which was horrible... I had a very bad diarrhea on the second day of Raya that lasted for more than a week, so I was forced to stay at home taking medicine. It was bad as the diarrhea came with fever and dehydration.

Anyway this year TYT Melaka and his wife organized a closed Hari Raya celebration for close friends and relatives only , it was attended by many people including former Chief Judge,politicians,celebrities such as Siti Nurhaliza (Malaysia no.1 female singer) and his husband Datuk K, there was also movie producers, businessmen, loggers , diplomats , high rank polices and dont forget bodyguards , so it was kinda intimidating for a normal person like me to be here.

I was kinda disappointed that we arrived too late and could't get the chance to meet Siti Nurhaliza :(

but none the less i had alot of fun and the buffet was great catered from Mahkota Hotel Melaka i guess since the tissues have their hotel name.

Toh Puan Zurina and TYT Tun Datuk Seri Utama Mohd Khalil Yaakub (consider as the King in Melaka state above Chief Minister Dato Seri Ali Rustam) they are very humble people..

Cakes are complimentary from local hotels in Melaka

Toh Puan Zurina escorted us as we were leaving

A 2 doors Bentley with digit 1 , there was another single digit 4 doors Bentley and a whole lot of Benz including mine, mostly S class with drivers lol. Too bad we reach too late to see what car Datuk K and Siti came with .. heard they got alot of nice cars such as SL63 AMG,430 Scuderia, GTR and many more.

Gucci Shirt MYR 1590

Armani Jeans(AJ) Jeans MYR 899

Hermes Belt MYR 2420

Giorgio Armani Patent Leather Shoe MYR 2599 (with discount)

There was a very interesting cute little boy prolly age around 5, look mixed like Eurasian wearing Burberry checked shirt,Emporio Armani Belt and Tod's loafers , could't see brand of the pants though and his sister look abit younger than him was wearing checked Burberry shirt too . They are so lucky! I wish that I can be successful next time and pamper my own kids with branded stuffs.
