Know The Least

If you haven't read my first thrift post to Family Bundle Ampang, check it out here!

Few days ago, I went and had a look at Subangs' thrift outlet, Jalan Jalan Japan.

MY EXPERIENCE

Prices :

It's in Subang. I wasn't expecting low prices that I'm used to at thrifts, nor that high. They range from around RM10 up to RM50 for clothes. 

They even sell baby strollers, shoes, stilettos, rare anime comic books and even handbags. These items range up to the hundreds.

Weird Items :

I usually go to thrifts for rare items, here they mostly sell standard everyday clothing like blazers and caps as well as dresses.

I do love how this thrift offers many variety of items, from duffel bags, to wedding dresses. Other than clothes, you can definitely shop for a school bag here. All looking in great condition too.


Office Hours :

According to google, they open from 10AM to 10PM, exactly the same as @ Family Bundle. I went their in the afternoon, and it was a soothing experience. Having spending around 2.5 to 3 hours their, Rummaging for clothes.

Location :

I had taken an LRT ride to USJ 21 and took a Grabcar to One City Mall (RM4) as the shop is located inside it. I had to ask a very helpful cleaner the way as it was a bit confusing due to no directions.

Imagine the mall as a barren Publika, except bigger and more unused space. Probably for office workers.


Pros :

• clean ( not dusty ) environment
• many options for women
• available fitting rooms
• more options than a normal thrift
• mamak nearby
• higher class than usual (due to location in Subang)
• workers, they have workers!
• mirrors everywhere
• baskets and trolleys at your service
• the whole family can come and find something honestly

Streetwear brand Supreme had recently collaborated with high fashion brand Louis Vuitton on a new collection.

Just a gist into the collection, they released a wallet that is literally reselling now for $1400 and a hoodie for $10,000. Pretty expensive to cough up RM50,000 for a jacket and a bloody wallet. For Louis Vuitton, these prices can be considered lower than standard but generally kids are buying these.

Now, one of the coveted pieces in the collection is... the backpack. The godly backpack. This bag, is going on ebay for around $11,000 equivalent to RM48,000. Have a look at what is happening in Pulau Pinang ( Penang )


I have no idea if it's true or a fake but the thought of letting your child bring a RM50,000 backpack to school is just beyond me, let alone him being an 8 year old or something. A lot of people have said that it is fake, logical at the very least.

The thing i'm worried about is, some ignorant person may see this as an opportunity to do bad things to the kid, steal his bag or perform unexplainable desires or even threats to the parents. The flashy red LV bag may be fake, but things could happen and I hope the parents think or have thought about it by now.

If it is real, just sayin, MY son ain't going to school with a backpack the price of two Perodua Axia. At that age, I wore a spongebob backpack, a bit like this one with the face and all. You want a car priced bag, you get your own XD.



To be honest, this news is just a funny post I saw on twitter and wanted to share here/

   Here's a fact about myself... I'm 18 well 19 this year. But I just can't remind myself that I'm getting older and near to death ahahha. Okay so I wanna talk about money because here me out. There are two types of students that do absolute different things when relaxing after studying all day mind you 9-5 all day everyday.

   First, is the student who intends to go out... and they end up going out. Either go the extreme park or go  jogging with some mates even drinking having a good laugh with friends. Just the person that wants to be out of the house. You can even say this is an extrovert.

   Second, is the person who does not want to meet daylight. Stay in the house all day. These people are probably the smartest :D because instead of going out with classmates or peeps they study and study and study all day during the weekends. These are the students who will score with flying colours for their exams. Maybe you can say they are introverts. Silent but deadly in maths.



   Now this topic is mainly for the first type of student. I know there are numerous number of types of students in between but I'm trying to make it as simple as Oh My English even though I've never watched it. Now this topic is mainly for the first type of student. Since there life is mainly revolving around pubs, clubs, restaurants, outings and so on. Money is a virtue, I'm sure we all can agree on that, it is what it is.

   Imagine having your marriage collapsing, family separating, friends dying and you've been keeping all these emotions to yourself because you have nobody to speak out to. Would it be nicer to cry on a bicycle? or to cry in a Rolls Royce. God that example was gruesome damn okay not to that extent, but if anyone is going through all of that I pray for you for real. But anyways. Money doesn't provide happiness I agree with that but it does provide comfort, royalty, self worth.

   Don't tell yourself that you don't want to study just because money is not important to you. Money memang penting sayang. Bills, insurance, family wants and needs, emergencies and so on. To say money is not important nowadays is idiocy because you need a hefty amount just to survive in this god damn country.

   So with all the going out and shit these full time students need the dough, cash, mulla, greens, salad, ranch all that. And for real I am one of them. The problem arises with "full time student". Yeah even though the old guys will tell us go work at night somewhere or do whatever, we're still full time students. Assignments need to be done as well as presentations, socializing, homework. I am selling my things on the side to make extra cash though so you can say I'm HUSTLING. 

   Wau okay hustling konon bill belum kena bayar dah acah2. So yeah what would some of you do to gain money at this age? Mind you with a packed schedule ahahha thanks for reading ciao!
