Just because...

...I've got good reason to, I'm gonna dedicate this post to complaining about THE MOD HOUSE.

For those who are unaware, it's a local fashion label in Malaysia and they have an outlet at Mid Valley. Apparently they dress the newscasters from God-knows-which-news-channel.

Anyway, their merchandise are overpriced and of low quality.

Why do I say that you may ask?

For Chinese New Year this year, I was very unprepared and thus did my shopping at the very last minute. Happily walking around with my mum, we came across this bloody shop after having the yummy-but-also-overpriced durian dessert nearby. The place looked ok but what attracted me to it was that it was new and it had the words 50% OFF splashed all over.

To cut a long story short, I bought a pair of shorts at RM45 (originally RM90) and a dress for RM90 (originally RM180). My sis was furious when I got back cos she said it was way too expensive for something that wasn't special at all. And she was right to say that. And I'd be flaming mad if I actually bought these stuff without the discount.

I've only worn the dress once thus far and it hasn't given me problems BUT on the first day that I wore that pair of shorts, the zipper broke. Yes. On the first day - at my friend's open house where we were pulling an all-nighter. How wonderful. I couldn't unzip my pants and had to hold the effects of processed beer trying to leave my urinary system from bursting out of me. After about an hour, I decided that was it and tried again. To no avail. Frustrated, I just pulled my shorts off, and thankfully they came off cos its material is kinda stretchy *relieved*

When I was free, I went back to THE MOD HOUSE to ask if they could fix the lousy zipper for me. Alas, the salesgirl didn't know what to do and made me wait while she called for help. After about 5 minutes, she told me they could replace the zip for me at a price (!!!) AND I would have to wait 2 weeks for it to be ready. What the hell?! 2 weeks to replace a zip? Bugger... I was leaving for Australia in less than 2 weeks so obviously I couldn't leave it with them. Slightly annoyed, I went around looking for some tailor/seamstress/whatever who could fix it for me in a week's time. I did. And had to pay RM16 for it to be ready the day before I left the country. Wonderful. Now my shorts had cost me a total of RM61 not including the trouble it caused me and the extra transportation costs incurred for me to get it fixed.

Now the part that's cheesing me off is that, after paying RM61 for a bloody pair of shorts from a stupid Malaysian fashion house, the button has broken while I'm in Australia. Yes, BROKEN! Shit man... When it came off I thought I could sew it back but then I realized it's bloody made of plastic and the plastic has friggin' BROKEN! Argh! I'm so bloody pissed off now it's not even funny.

So dear readers, I feel like it is my duty to warn you not to buy anything from THE MOD HOUSE. Seriously. This is History 101. Learn from my mistake.
