Skeletons in the closet.
*mildly edited my post! And thank you everyone, for being so enocuraging, HAHA.
ARGHHHH. Because of the petrol price surge, I was under my dad's order to fill up the petrol tank of the Avanza.
It took me a bloody 1 and 1/2 hour!!!
WTFFFF. I thought my leg was going to fall off from cramps-- 'cause stepped on the brake for too long. And no, putting on the handbrake/neutral gear is not an option, 'cause there were stupid idiots who would try to cut the queue!!! So I had to be very alert and ready to gun my engine any time. T__T
It was SO SO TERRIBLE, really a nightmare. There were cars who accidentally banged each other-- 'cause everyone was tail-gating each other (if not, some imbecile would cut into the line), there were cars who unintentionally took routes near to the petrol station and ended up being stranded in the pool of cars (no one was willing to budge to make space for these cars to leave); there was even a parked car whose alarm went blaring on and on. How not to feel super stressed and frustrated!!!!
Anyway, back to what I wanted to say; as I was really bored in the car, being all alone, 'cause my sisters were at home carrying out the noble cause known as examination revision; I started calculating how many pieces of clothing I have sold since I got back. Basically, I have started selling my clothes from end of January till now since I was back from Melbourne-- I have a sale each week, each sale consisting of averagely 7 items.
Doing a rough tabulation, from February onwards to end of May, that's 4 months-- 4 weeks x 4 months x 7 pieces... Plus the fact that recently I have been having 2 sales a week ('cause it's increasingly nearing my departure date to S'pore)... And I think so far, in all my sales, I have in total only about 4-5 items which I have yet to sold out... *mutters frantic calculations* I would say a conservative estimation of the total pieces I have sold since I came back is... around 120 pieces????
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
I didn't even know that I have 120 items!! I mean, I know I have quite a bit of clothes, but then, if I have sold off 120 things, how come the number of items I have haven't dwindled down? T____T
So I came home and started going through the clothes I have. T____T
One of the questions that I get the most after 'Where do you get your clothes?', is "How much clothes do you have/how big is your wardrobe?"
So here I am, revealing unseen footage of my wardrobe. Unseen, and forever cannot be seen by my mom WTF.
*starts out with chirpy tour guide voice, haha*
This is the view that greets you the moment you open my room door!
And shit, my mat is senget. *anal*
The big lump of clothes on my armchair.
I don't know why, I always dump clothes on the chair, even if I have hangers, knobs etc to hang my clothes, they always end up on the chair. -__-
Is anyone else like me!
Underneath the armchair-- luggage bag filled with clothes, and shopping bags as well.
'Cause my mom doesn't look under chairs! :P
Shopping bags which I haven't kept yet, and bags that I use more often. :)
And haha, these are bags hidden behind the door.
'Cause if my mom comes into my room, she would flip the door open, and tada! the door will hide these bags. I am so smart. :D
Moving on to my closet! Very very small and cramped. :(
Tada! My clothes. Uncolor-coded, uncategorised.
My dream is to have my clothes all hung according to their colors! But I am never disciplined enough for it. :( And haih, it's damn difficult to find clothes, because each hanger has minimum 3 or 4 pieces on it-- so I actually have to sift through the items on each hanger. Haih, even my hangers play layering wtf.
And oh oh oh, you see all the long sleeves peeking out at the right side! Those are my working clothes! :))) That's about 1/3 of this closet. I am really quite pleased, 'cause I haven't really started shopping for working clothes-- it's more like if I see anything appropriate, I would buy it, but I have yet to go on a major, purposeful work-clothes quest; however, I seemed to have accumulated a healthy amount so far! :)
And heeee, this closet has its secrets. :P
At the bottom of the closet, is where I keep some of my shopping buys! Mostly from junkyard sales though... There are huge bags after huge bags, which I just lump in, haha.
It's really quite smart, 'cause when my mom comes in for room inspection...
I just pull the clothes along the railing, and tada, all the bags are hidden!
And she will never know for the better. :D
Folded clothes. More leaning towards baby tees and mamak clothes.
And bottoms! I stuff my bottoms inside nowadays, 'cause my bottoms compartment is full.
Another part of my closet.
The lowest part is said bottoms compartment, which is mostly filled with jeans.
But nowadays, there are more and more version of bottoms! Like high waisted skirts/shorts, paperbag shorts/skirts, skinnys, wide-legged pants, leggings... So I need a bigger compartment to keep my bottoms. T_T
And the middle part of this closet has hidden secrets as well, haha.
This is where I keep my other shopping bags, usually slightly pricier buys, 'cause my mom freaks whenever she sees Topshop/Selfridge/Forever 21 plastic bags. She will start lecturing us on the value of money and threatens to cut our allowance. :'(
This area is stuffed, and it's insane; whenever I remember something new that I want to wear, I would have to throw everything out and slowly dig through. -___-
Moving on to other parts of the house...
Duffel bag filled with clothes and boxes in the study room.
The big box in this picture has some of my Melbourne shoes in it! :)
Box of clothes... Which I haven't unpacked yet, 'cause I really have no space to put them.
Big giant luggage bag (my check-in bag from Melbourne)...
... filled with some of my more well-liked clothes(all brand new!). I usually dig through this bag when I have a special occasion/if I want to dress up.
Jing asked me to specify that the bag measures at approximately 1.5m x 0.5m, because she wants "people to see how crazy you are". -__-
Bags of my clothes along the alley upstairs!
And that is my brother's bed-rack next to them. He broke it one night, hahaha too fat already hahahaha.
I took over my brother's room as well! Thank god I have a brother, 'cause men are so space-efficient when it comes to clothes, haha.
The top shelf are mostly my jackets, whereas the bottom shelf has mostly my bottoms.
Err, the pillow is obviously not part of my wardrobe WTF.
Two huge boxes of clothes in the corner of his room!
It's usually stacked on top of each other neatly, but they look really messy now, 'cause I just rummaged through them to look for something.
And this is another check-in luggage bag which my parents took home for me!
Btw, it's my dad's favorite luggage bag, 'cause it's made of oyster shell, haha.
It's filled with clothes that I have worn before in Melbourne, and which I intend to sell off soon (but I have yet to open since my parents brought it home. -_-)
And that's excluding clothes in my sisters' room 'cause they always steal my clothes, but never return them! *rawr* And also clothes in the laundry room. YES, anything that is sent for washing doesn't come back up!! I don't know what my maid does, she just leaves them in the laundry room. -___- So basically, once we throw our clothes to wash, we won't see them, unless we make the initiative to look for them in the laundry room. All these mountainfuls of clean, detergent-scented clothes. -______-
And I just remembered that I left 2 huge garbage bags full (HAHA, I put my clothes in garbage bags while shifting in Melbourne, 'cause inspired by Audrey the trash woman HAHAHA I am never going to let you forget it Aud) of clothes in Jac's flat! One bag of nice clothes, which I wanted her to look into to see whether there is anything that she wants to keep for herself; another bag of clothes which was supposed to be given to the Salvation Army. BUT, I heard that after I left Melbourne, Jac's housemate threw them away! T____T Is that really true, Jac! T___T
Ok, I am really panicking now, 'cause I have no idea how I am going to manage my clothes when I go over to S'pore!! Do I pack everything off to S'pore? Leave half at home, bring half to S'pore? Be really hard-hearted and sell as much things as I can (this is really not an option, 'cause I can't bear to part with a lot of my things T_T)? If I leave most of my things at home, I am VERY SURE that once I am in S'pore, my mom would throw them out or something! Unless I ask my sisters to protect them for me. T__T
Shit la. Now I wish I didn't take pictures of my clothes. At least I could stay in denial then. :(((
And hahaha, while I was running around taking pictures of my clothes (like scavenger hunt wtf), I found this pair of old-school plaid pants of my mom's!
I was really excited, 'cause I have been looking for a pair of plaid/checkered pants! So I eagerly put them on...
... to find that they have stirrups!
HAHAHHAHAHA omg damn old-fashioned and out! HAHAHAHA.
I was gasping with laughter, and while trembling with silent giggles, I went to look for Jing, and when she turned around, wordlessly, I just lifted my leg up, and she understood.
HAHHAHAHHHAHA damn kao funny! How could my mom have worn something like that, hahaha.
Anyway, I was still quite optimistic, I told Jing that I could cut off the stirrups-part, and with some mild alterations, it could be a pretty cool pair of pants.
She told me:
"Che, are you sure you want to cut off that part. What if it comes back into fashion!"
while throwing me 'I-give-up" look for even daring to contemplate wearing that pair of pants. T___T
Hahaha, why wor!
Can look quite nice what!
Hahahaha.
Me: I don't get it, I sell 7 clothing a week!! How come my amount of clothes don't go down at all???
Jing: That's 'cause you sell away 7 each week, but each week, you buy back a dozen.
Me: Oh.
Hahaha, damn stupid. Anyway, don't judme me for being messy k! T_T

arghhhh!!! *swims in pool of jealousy* so many clothes!!! i want! anyways, maybe you should rent a warehouse to keep all of your clothes while you are in singapore! :'D
Damn you are one of those people that jammed up the petrol stations with cars spilling out into the roads. I took a flipping 2 and a half hours to get home from KL sentral all because of this petrol price increase. I was actually calculating the amount of cars and multiplying it by Rm20 and considering giving ever car rm20 to GO HOME! And you are one of them. HAHAHHA!!!
*faints*
aih woman i wonder how much money have u splurged on clothes in a year. lol.
and oh i USED to always chuck my clothes on my chair as well. hahahahahah i try not to do it anymore because my mother damn bising.

Yeah!! Stirrups are coming back! And I was hyperventilating at all those pretty clothes of yours. I never could understand how you and your sisters could wear clothes once and then sell them off. Now I know why!!! T___T I think my entire wardrobe is like only 1/3 of yours!
omg, salute! for having so much of clothes :P
now i am interested to know about your monthly allowances haha.
is this what my closet would look like if i combine both my closets T____________T and lucky i gave alot of clothes away already (to aud and suet) before i left if not i would've come home to a very very huge closet. u know i was trying to give away some of my clothes to my mom wtf to save space! and my room is an absolute mess now! how hui wen how!
Hahahah, wtf. Not a closet okay, more like a warehouse. With separate compartments (brother's room, hallway, luggage bags, etc.)
The last time I went to Jing's room was before you came back I think, and she was invading yours with her stuff. I wonder how theres enough space for all three of your clothes now lor...dog's kennel, bathtub, above the ceiling, wtf.
CRAZY GIRL lemme lecture u when i see u wtf. eh do clothes sale at your hse la i'll be the first in line wtf
my arm chair is always filled with clothes as well! even AFTER i cleaned it, there'll be on it the very next MINUTE! haha!! i thought i was the only one...
hi.. yea i was also wondering where do u sell your clothes online?
hhaha i guess ur behavior isnt that uncommon among us girls, i'm guilty of all those too. nowadays guys' rooms are so much neater than girls -_-"
btw, where do you sell your clothes?
enjoy reading ur blog, more or less like a fashion blog :P keep it up!
I think you have more clothes than Paris Hilton! By the way, when you start working in Singapore, remember to hire and take along with you a maid just to fold clothes for you.
Nicky Hilton
hahahaha and i thought i was bad !!!! but after seeing the amount of clothes you have, i feel MUCH MUCH BETTER cos it makes my amount look miniscule!! hahaha woman oh woman!
OH.MY.GOD.
I think you really can open a shop already.
u know i rarely say this to anyone, partly cause i believe you can have never have too much clothes but..
WOMAN YOU HAVE TOO MUCH CLOTHES!!!!
...
and here i thought my sister had a lot of clothes cuase she's got closets full in like 3 countries
Do you never wear any of your clothes twice? :-O I could never do that.. I have such an attachment with my clothes, like I really only buy something I truly love and the idea of just selling them is sad!
How do you find anything, though? :P It's sooo messy and I would totally forget I even own some of the things in there haha.
And ps. Stirrups ARE back in fashion in Australia. But in the form of leggings. Maybe they'll be back in fashion for pants soon lol.
joycezhi: EHHH what are you talking about, you needed a LORRY ok! Mine where got so bad! :P HAHHHAAHAHA wtf whole aircraft!! HAHAHHAHA idiot!
nana: Haha, glad that it was fun to read!I thought it would be boring to look at just piles of fabric. T_T Nopes, she doesn't! :)AndGOOO BUY MOREEEE! :D :D :D
anonymous: Hahaha, why you call me mad! And err, jing tells me that I have more clothes. -_- Haha, admittedly I have the most clothes now la, 'cause I bought a whole new wardrobe in Melbourne, but I am sure when she go overseas she would too, haha. We don't share the same room! Jing and Teeny share one, perks of being the eldest, hee. HAHAHHA eh you don't curse me ok, I go to s'pore to work, not to shop.. *determined* T___T
anonymous: I sell the online, at

Go see! :)
syahnaz: HAHHAHA eh you super exaggerate la! Where got need warehouse! :D
smallswong: It wasn't me! I was at stupid taman tun, BWARGHH. And honestly, I wouldn't have bothered to queue up, the RM20 isn't worth it for the turmoil I went through, but what to do, dad's orders. T__T HAHA, I was contemplating to pay off the drivers too! Either that, or pay my dad to shut him up, haha.
mizzvickz: I recently did a calculation-- I based the amount I spent on the number of designer bags I could have gotten... T___T I tell you when we meet up, HAHA. And my mom is damn bising too ok! Just that recently she has been nicer to me, 'cause I am leaving soon. T__T
babygin: Ya la, why are we like that! T_T
rachel: Haha, HOW TO LOOK FOR YOU!!! :D
mustardqueen: Aiyo, I know you recently bought something with stirrups, don't have to be so touchy, haha. EHHH don't tell mummy k! If not, we will all die together.. T__T
ashleigh: Haha, I know atirrups are making a come-back, but stirrups on pants! Cannot accept yet wtf. Haha, you'll understand if you see the horrendous cut of that pants. :P And ya la, I can never finish wearing my clothes, it's not that I don't want to wear them again. T_T And oh! 1/3 of that amount is quite a lot what! :P
wanli: EHHH why no one believes me when I tell them my month allowance is RM300??? -_________-
tzeching: Haha, I gave away 3 large garbage (neh, those large plastic bags that aud is very familiar with wtf) full of clothes in melb, before I left! And also I have gave away my clothes before at home... And actually, there are still places in the house with my clothes.. T___T
joshua: HAHAHHAAHA warehouse with compartments, HAHAHAH good one! *shifty eyes* YA LA that stupid king tried to put her things in my wardrobe, but I have threw them all out already, each woman for her own, HAHA. Err, our celing got bats now, but the dog kennel is a good idea! *rubs chin thoughtfully*
suet li: Haha, yaya, next week k! And I can't have sale in my house la, though someone suggested before, my mom will kill me! :(
dy: HAHHAHA, YAAA! Why are we like that ar! I always tidy it up, only to find myself throwing clothes onto it the next moment. -_-

miss nobody: That's not the first time someone told me that. :(
ally: I LOVE YOUUUU!! 'Cause I believe you can't have too much clothes too! :D :D :D *ignores what you say about me having too much* And eh, having closet-fuls in 3 different countries is a lot what! :(
sophia: Well, even if I wear the same item, I never wear it the same way twice! :) It's sort of me wanting to be experimental, like a little challenge to myself, haha. And well, the things that I buy are split into a few categories: things I really really love, things I want to try out, things that are good bargains etc etc. I never ever sell things that I truly love! :D As for experimental things, they are usually things like high waisted shorts, rompers etc. Things that are good bargains are pretty things that come at a good price! Though I may not love them until I can't live without them, but at the price, I CAN'T justify not buying, HAHA.
And ohh, I know stirrups are making a come-back, but on pants, still look a bit weird. And you'll also understand why, if you see my mom's plaid pants, haha! :P
T___________________T
Hui Wen, its amazing you even have space for those clothes!
Btw, good idea to keep some items at home so that you don't have to lug clothes around. Its always handy heh.
When are you coming down babe? I'll be back this weekend!
wats ur nickname in d forum u r selling ur stuffs..is ur sis selling there also?
ya allah bersepah nyer bilik.
i wanna live in under your clothes!!

omg.
you have more clothes than i ever had in my life.
i <3 you still. haha.
Wah Wah Wah WAAAAHHHHHH!!! Its obvious from reading your blog that u have a lot of clothes but I never would have imagined THIS MUCH! I feel so much less guilty now x). Many girls would envy u. Oh, and leaving clothes on chairs and all...I do that too, heee!
U got more than enough to open a big garage sale already lar, open shop also can...I'll definitely be there if u do haha!
imma gonna show my mom this post that i'm not the only one who hides my clothes around the house too! haha wtf. you know i've got a luggage bag in my room that i always keep all my new buys inside and when my mom ask whats in there i'd always answer "oh, its the all clothes that i want to sell" lol
EH, another secret place to hide is under the bed! seriously no joke! i bought those plastic bins from ikea specially to keep 'em under my bed so that i can throw my clothes and shoes in there to hide from my mom's sight. but once in a while she'd spot check and there goes the nagging.
still, the amount of clothes i have can never beat yours la! T_______T
what a long post...
1 and 1/2 hours..kesian you..
omg so messy =)
so much clothes! lol
Hehehe. I used to be horribly messy (like you) hhahahaha until one time some of my guy friends came over to my place to chill and they saw. my. room.
Quote unquote, "why do you have a big pile of clothes right in the middle on the floor. And is that your bra and underwear peeking out from under there?!"
Hahahaha i almost died of shame :D and they still remind me of that incident until today.
But these days im pretty anal with my clothes, cause they tend to get dusty when left on the floor for too long! :( and then they'll need some ironing too, and god help me i hate to iron.
Now i color code them, categorize them, re-fold them every few months, hahahahaa where did that old messy Cynthia go :) i can help you, im good at color-categorizing!
:D *excited face*

Wouldn't she know that you hide your clothes, and she will be become very suspicious.. T__T And haha, I can't hide my clothes under my bed, 'cause I have Ikea drawers there as well, but filled with my bags and miscellaneous items! T__T
falcon: Haha, ya, my entries are usually quite long. Verbal diarrhoea wtf
cynthia: Really very horribly messy meh.. T___T Why you all so critical wtf. Haha, eh, quite shy ar let people see your underwear, haha! Actually, if you peer closely at my pictures, you would be able to see my lingerie peeking out.. T___T And sigh, it's not that I don't want to keep my clothes, but I really have no space!! My mom told me I can go get some wardrobe/cupboards from Ikea to put my stuff, but I have always procrastinated, not to mention that there isn't any space in my room to put wardrobes. -_- So even if you color-code for me, they will still have to sit on the floor. T_________T
Oh oh oh! Are you going for lapsap? :)
