.. and it's bloody annoying. I received 6 mails from GaiaOnline since the 25th May till the 29th May 2008 and again today, 2nd June 2008 stating that my account has been blocked since someone supposedly entered my password wrong 5 times. What an idiot. I'm more annoyed than anything but I'm not all too worried about my stuffs in my account namely because if I report it as my account being hacked, it's still traceable. Everything we do is traceable. Where the items go to, to whom, whether sold off to stores to sent as present and best of all, the IP address of the person who logged in.
I've talked to D3 regarding this problem as I remembered she faced this problem earlier last month. I'm not pointing fingers but we did come to a conclusion that the person who is doing all this is most likely an idiot.
I'm not even sure why someone would want to hack into my account. I'm not even rich! I don't down minis, panda, bun buns or whatever.
Either the person is :
a. too free
b. too dumb.
c. a big fat noob
d. all of the above.
And considering that I just voted d. all of the above, I do know that the person would most likely try even harder to get in. Human behavior makes them a little more predictable. Hee hee.
That being said, on a happier note, I finally completed a personal quest of my own. For years now I've always wanted 'branded' bag such an a Burberry, LV, Gucci or something. Call it a waste of money considering that a bag is a bag. But the human side of me with the ever probing of Envy, Lust, Greed, I've always wanted them anyway. One, just one will suffice!
It's probably not such a big deal if I was living in the US or the UK since we don't have to count the conversion and if I was earning US dollars instead of the ever deflating Malaysian Ringgit. (Hell, if I was working in the US, I'll be able to hang myself from the straps of all the branded bags I would have owned!) *ahem* so I digress but anyway after much surfing online looking around. I finally chose a brand: Coach. A low end high end brand. Problem was there was no one I could count on to buy and ship to me. Why do I need someone to ship to me? Plainly because it was so much cheaper to buy from the US.
Example: The bag I was eying, the new Hamptons signature Zebra print bag was selling for a mere US$158 = RM521.40 but was happily being sold for RM800 in the Malaysian Coach stores. Even if I was to count the shipping it would still be cheaper.
Malaysian taxes = Asses!
p.s : But anyway, it turns out that that model was never sent over here and was unavailable.
So anyway, after not talking to D3 for over a week since I left for Singapore for a holiday, D3 mentioned the Make Up For Ever concealer that she wanted. She's been mentioning the concealer for OVER a year now and I wasn't able to get it for her since I hardly go over to KLCC.
Going to KLCC is a bloody pain in the a** as it's quite far from where Ian lives and the place is forever congested with the insane amount of cars and people. Not to mention KLCC is a place I usually avoid if I can since the place actually makes me feel poor with all the high end retail shops. And the parking there is usually charged every half an hour after the initial first hour. *gulp*
So we went over to get the concealer and saw that Coach was having a sale. Up to 30% but I really didn't see anything I liked. And since I've only seen the bags on the internet I've never actually seen the actual size of it and gee, was I shocked. I don't wanna pay RM800 (US$242.42424242...) for a bag that makes me look like Godzilla! It's so small, so small that my tissue box back home would seem gigantic next to it! NOOOOO!
I'm never into small bags, I like practical bags where I can dump my cosmetics, hand sanitizers, purse, two handphones, a writing pad, a pen and so forth.
So we went out empty handed and since Burberry was just opposite of Coach, we decided to take a look (Ian's idea not mine) and to cut everything super short. He bought me a Haymarket Tote. The End.

If you wanted a "branded" bag you should've told me. My gf used to work for Coach. When we were both still working retail we had plenty of connections as everyone would share their employee discounts with one another. I could've gotten you a bag for a pretty good price. 3nodding I might still be able too if my gf still knows anyone that works there.
LV & Gucci is a little harder. We shop there sometimes so the sales rep that we go to always lets us know if anything comes up at a good price. I don't like any of the Burberry stuff.. more for the older generation.
