My CNY shopping haul in Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall and see how I Shop like a PRO!

Have you done with your Chinese New Year's shopping?  Oh well I will never have enough of shopping hence I can't tell you that I'm done....haha..get it ?

When Sunway Pyramid's PR contacted me to go for all-expense paid shopping spree, immediately I said YES! As a shopping queen, I never say no to shopping one lah! Well I don't think women will ever got enough of shopping!

I was given RM888 to shop on the condition that I need to spend it within 2 hours (to be exact 1 hour and 30 minutes minus the briefing and toilet break) to go around the mall and spend all the money...to make up my perfect Chinese New Year look.

Since the time given is short, I need to SHOP LIKE A PRO to spend the money wisely to get the best deals in town! Ahaha hope my sharing will be helpful for you when you shop for your CNY clothing! 

First pitshop : Dorothy Perkins located in LG.131 (Orange Zone) to get new clothes! 

Being a plus size girl in Malaysia, it's not easy to get pretty dress that fit you nicely. Well Dorothy's Perkins is my favourite UK highstreet fashion brand, their quality are good and the cutting fits me well! Do you know they offer size from 6-22 so it fits the smallest frame girl to the largest frame girl all under 1 roof!

I came here because of this Fashion Fortune promotion which I received in my email few weeks ago! Oh yehhhh I'm a  super good deal because I only need to spend RM250 in order to get RM200 voucher which can be redeemed for purchases for than RM400!

Some of the clothes I have tried! 

My damage : Spend RM487.60 in total and got 2 dress and 3 tops worth RM687.60! 


Didn't realise I spend too much times (about 40 minutes) trying dresses and taking selfie pictures, alamak not enough time already! 
Time left : 50 minutes

Second Pitshop : Charles & Keith G1.58 (Orange Zone) to get new handbag!

I spend about 20 minutes trying out different bag from their latest S/S 2015 collection! 

Which is your favourite one?


They have pretty decent of footwear too! This is super comfortable and cool looking but then I don't think it suits the dress that I bought for CNY... so I gave it a miss!

Total Damage : Spend RM279.90 for a new handbag! 

Charles & Keith current promotion is buy RM300 and entitle to get RM50 voucher for free! 

Time left : 30 minutes

Third Pitshop : Nose LG1.08 (Orange Zone) to get new shoes!

I have really small feet and I know Nose carries my size and with time running out I quickly walked in to grab a shoes! Ah got sale up to 70% discount!

To be honest, their design has improved compared to few years back! I think I should visit more! 

 I really wanted to get this (RM109.90) but this is not my size! So comfortable and chic looking, easy to match with any dress or jeans! 

So I picked up nude wedges instead, it would be easy to match with my flowery dress I think :) 

Total Damage : Spend RM109.90 on a pair of nude wedges

Time left : 10 minutes

Fourth Pitshop : Sephora G1.132 (Orange Zone) 

This is beauty heaven for all beauty lovers lah! And since I got 10% off voucher to spend, I want to get a foundation which I have been waiting to try!

Within 10 minutes I picked up this beauty stuffs! 

Make Up For Ever HD Foudation : RM165.50
Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner in Black : RM63
Sephora Cotton Pad (70s pcs) : RM9.90 

Total Damage : RM239.40 afer 10% discount with my Sephora card

After 1.5 hours, I spend RM1116.80 and yes it's a little over the budget that was given (cos happy mood mahhh) and then there are so much to see & buy in Sunway Pyramid, definitely there is something for everyone!

And I want to maximise my spending mahh... so I went to sign up Sunway Pals card for FREE where I get to enjoy the privileges & redeem the points across over 300 merchant outlets in Sunway Pyramid when I shop & dine in Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall. 

It also a cashless parking card that enable Sunway Pals card member to park at selected parking locations without the use of a parking ticket and the need to queue at the auto pay machines. More info here http://www.sunway.com.my/sunwaypals/index.html

In the spirit of spreading wealth and prosperity, Sunway Pyramid shoppers who spend RM250 (RM150 for HSBC Credit Cardholders) in 1 receipt* can redeem a set of limited edition All Season Prosperity Ang Pow, adorned with delicate and delightful spring flowers.

Cuteness overload!! So nice to hug hug!

And for those who spend RM1000 (RM800 for HSBC Credit Cardholders) in 3 receipts, you can redeem this super cute exclusive Fluffs of Joy Sheep Pillow Pet! 

Ah I thought only 5 stars hotel offer Porter Boy Service to carry luggage but Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall  goes extra miles in  understanding shopper's need that ... it would be nice if there is someone who are there to help to carry and escort us to the car park after a long day doing shopping!

Sunway Pyramid Shopping Centre Porter Boy Service is available on Fri, Sat, Sun & Public Holiday between 11am to 11pm.  Just give them a call at 011-2888 7736 and the Porter Boy will be there to help us to carry our bags to our car! Thumb up for this service, so far I think they are the only mall in Malaysia offering this service!

I truly felt like SHOPPING QUEEN when my Porter Boy carry my bag to the car! 

Besides that, you can hop on for a free ride on the Buggy (call 010-2897 509), available daily at selected car park entrances.

I like how Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall put effort in making sure parents can shop at ease here, you know how often you go to the malls and you heard over the announcement some kids are lost and seperated from their parents in mall.

Child Distance Monitor & Safety Wristband is one of the unique kind that all malls should have!  I think would be really helpful for parents and guardians aware of their children’s whereabouts in the shopping mall. 

Free Child Safe Shopping wristband can be collected from any of Sunway Pyramid’s Concierge Counters on Ground Floor and Lower Ground One where parents can write their contact numbers on the back and the child can wear the wristband, just in case they get separated during their shopping in the mall, the public or the guard can contact the parents. 

The Beeper (Child Distance Monitor) is used to make sure that the children do not wander too far off from their parents. A ‘sender’ will be attached to the child, and the parents or guardians will get the ‘receiver’. If the child strayed within a certain distance, the ‘receiver’ will produce beeping sounds and vibrate to alert the ‘receiver’. Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall shoppers can get this Child Distance Monitor at any of the Concierge Counters located on Ground Floor and Lower Ground One. Sounds really awesome right ? 

And with those personal touch kind of shopping experience provided, I was actually recommend you to bring you and your family over to Sunway Pyramid this weekends to do your last minute CNY shopping!

You will see the mall is dotted with adorable fluffy sheep in conjunction with their theme for this year ‘Cheery Woolly Spring’. 

Remember to take pictures with this families of colourful sheep roaming on endless green pastures with cheerful cherry blossoms and bright yarn baubles glow from above. In line with the woolly theme, strings of multi-coloured yarn are intricately woven through fences and huts, creating texture, abundance and warmth.

You also can unleash your inner artist with free Chinese calligraphy and sand art workshops happening on selected weekends at 2pm. Better yet, bring your little ones along to enjoy exclusive Leo Cub workshops on selected weekends.

Breathe in the joy of spring amidst the beautiful flower blossoms for a flourishing new year at the Spring Flower Market at the LG2 Blue Concourse or indulge in a variety of delectable Chinese delicacies at the Chinese New Year Bazaar, happening at the LG2 Orange Concourse. 

Don't forget to meet and greet Sunway Pyramid’s playful mascots Leo and Leona as they make their rounds distributing prosperity goodies at 1pm, 3pm and 5pm on weekends and holidays.

Ah before I forget, let me shared with you some pictures I have taken on how I plan my Chinese New Year's outfit for this year!

And yes my target to get new clothes from head to toe to wear this CNY was accomplished! And in case you didn't know it's Chinese belief that it's important to wear new clothes on Chinese New Year from head to toe to symbolize a new beginning in the new year. And wearing new clothes also symbolizes having more than enough things to use and wear in the new year!

Just realised the clothes I got from Dorothy Perkins are so flowery right! Oh ya that's this year Spring 2015 trend.

The recent best news in the country is our petrol price has dropped slightly and yay to motorists and motorcyclists! Unfortunately the price of our goods in country has not dropped yet hence we still need to spend  our money wisely to maximize our Ringgit value! 

I bet you know I love shopping very much... ahem  oh ya I'm the shopping queen that helps Malaysia economy growing yo!And there time that I overspend without knowing when I just swipe only my credit card...without tracking what did I use.. and you know by the time you receive your credit card bill... it's too late to change anything... so eating bread to pay off the bill! 

Speaking on experience, honestly if you are not a person who knows self control then having credit card may not be a good thing though it's nice to go cashless. 

Hence when I was introduced Shell easiGo American Express Prepaid Card by Maybank I was glad that not only it allows me to go cashless but it also sort of help me spend within limits .
