sales craze!!

Fj benjamin's warehouse sales at park royal last weekend was CRAZY.

Its suppose to be open at 10 but when i reached there at 10, the queue was SOOoooo damn long, all the way till the entrance of the hotel. Which was like farr farr away from the ballroom entrance.

Call this a exclusive preview for HSBC credit cards and bioterm members summore. damn.

What to do, reach already... juzt queue lor..

In less than 10 minutes, the queue behind us reach a distance my eyes cannot reach. WTH RIGHT?!

If you think that only poor or average income goes for warehouses like this. You are SO WRONG. You will be suprise to see how many of those rich people clad in branded tees and denims were there lining up for the sales. They were even earlier than me! and they were also those aggresive ones you see inside the ballrooms fighting for goods! KiasuSSS totally.

When we were drawing near the entrance,the queue practically dissapeared into a huge crowd pushing around! so annoying!! why malaysian like that one arh. No manners.

I think we were the first batch. But i really cannot inmagine how the second batch onwards are going to enter. A friend of mine said he came around 12 and waited about an hour outside before they let them in.The 2 ballrooms combined was super pack with people. So pack with human being that it looks like the warehouse is selling humans instead. If you suffer from asthma, probably you'll die of suffocation inside.

Inside the ballroom, you won't be able to see where exactly the bags, clothes,and etc are. You will need to push yourself through the crowds to check out what are the stuffs being sold at that particular corner OR listen up to some ques in others conversation such as Auntie A yelling to Auntie B "Eh, there got bags over there~... going at 100 only!"... then, you'll know where are the bags!

Thats how i discover where the bags corner was. I took about 10 minutes to squeeze myself into the crowd, getting myself a front row position of the wagon selling the bags. There were 2 malay ladies next to me with like 5-6 guess bags in each of their hands, who refused to move even an inch away from the wagon after so long ! Not enough meh?? can use different bags from monday till saturday already! so annoying!

People behind me kept pushing and at one point i felt like my handphone in the pocket was going to crack. Not to mention also, i got stepped a billion times. Cilaka. Malaysian's true colours revealed in warehouse sales!

Guess bags were sbeing sold at RM100.. those super fancy ones either with snake skins or leopard prints ones or with some thick chains. I personally prefer simpler ones. Small purse were being sold at 50 only.. but the designs were very limited and so so only.

Managed to grabed a bag for Veni and one for myself since her guess bag (gift from her brother) was being snatched along with her guess purse (gift from me) recently at hartamas. She also asked me to get her a purse and for that i took another 10 minutes to squeeze myself trough another crowd. See how good i am?

The bag. Not Veni's


I also managed to get myself a mini wristlet at RM50. I have no idea what to do with it, but it's freaking cheap.. so why not?

Clothes? i didn't even bother looking cause the queue for the fitting room will probably last till noon.

Guess shoes were also going at a very good bargain. 80 for a pair and 130 for 2 pairs. The crowd? estimated time was around 20 minutes to fight through the crowd. But me and my sister managed to get 2 pairs in total. So its only 65 per pair, plus it's real leather! woohoo.. i've got new shoes for internship already!

After getting the shoes, we left to queue for the cashier straight. We only walked 20% of the whole place leaving behind so many other things such as watches,raoul's corner, guess clothes and so on. Really super crowded and i was kinda fed up already inside.We even gave up on La Senza which had this little corner inside seperated with a small entrance by itself inside. The queue to get in was not only freaking long,it doesn;t move a little bit!

I tell you, you won't be able to even inmgine how long it would take for the rest outside the ballrooms to go in cause they were controlling the crowds inside. Not until the crowds in the ballrooms lessen,they are not letting those outside in. The fact was everyone inside doesn't seems to be leaving the ballroom at all.Even people who had made their payment went back in or remain in the payment area.

The queue for cashier

There were also some kiasus people spotted outside the ballroom, sitting along the corridor. What were they doing?

They were actually choosing their purchase lor!! They must have went in very early and grabed everything they saw,then slowly choosing they purchase outside the hall. How smart!

Kiasu aunty


Anyway, we lined up for another half an hour to make out payment and left after that for Isetan sale home.

Oh, know what? my cousin actually went for the FJ benjamin sales again the next day on saturday (which is open for public). After driving there all the way, she came home empty handed and you know why? she told me and my sister .......

.......the queue was ALL the way till the entrance of Park Royal, by the roadside!

HOW CRAZY!!

Dang did you find all of these at this warehouse sale you were mentioning in your post? After reading this I am completely sold that no matter what your income is you should shop any warehouse clearance deal that is going on. Thank you for changing my mind hopefully this will save me a lot of money in the near future.
