Men!! Hurry and Grab YOUR Bra Now!!!

Is the world still spinning in the correct direction?? It's appalling to know that there are bras made for men and they are actually hot sellers in Japan. Fascinating.

OOoooo... The next thing you know, hunkies would be strutting their "assets" on Victoria Secret's runway and the ladies would be topless. An exchange of gender roles. Haha

Awwhh...the man is bashfully covering his chest.. haha.. is this normal??

TOKYO (Reuters) - Who said bras are only for women? A Japanese online lingerie retailer is selling bras for cross-dressing men and they've quickly become one of its most popular items.

Since launching two weeks ago on Rakuten, a major Japanese web shopping mall, the Wishroom shop has sold over 300 men's bras for 2,800 yen ($30) each. The shop also stocks men's panties, as well as lingerie for women.

"I like this tight feeling. It feels good,"(LOL) Wishroom representative Masayuki Tsuchiya told Reuters as he modeled the bra, which can be worn discreetly under men's clothing.

Wishroom Executive Director Akiko Okunomiya said she was surprised at the number of men who were looking for their inner woman.

"I think more and more men are becoming interested in bras. Since we launched the men's bra, we've been getting feedback from customers saying 'wow, we'd been waiting for this for such a long time'," she said.

Since it's like the in thing, maybe we girls should help our fellow male pals get their brassier!! hahahha...

The Spring, Kuching

Lovely Jewels
Hey darlings! Prior to occasions, The Spring would allow small stalls to be set up temporarily so, since Christmas is just around the corner, my aunty set up a stall selling jewelries and some Christmas embellishments. It's located in between Nike and Giordano.

Every piece is unique and are imported else where. Ranges from cool gemstones to bona fide Swarovski crystals and even pure shells. There are funky and chunky ones, feminine ones, classy ones. Just a whole array of nice jewelries if you really know how to play around with them. Jewelries lovers, go check it out. They'll be there until 29th December. =D

The few that I manage to capture.
Dad's short. haha

I, being the good girl that I am, will be helping out at the stall tomorrow just for the fun of it. Later to be exact since it's past 12am and already 8th December.. hehe... Ok, you caught me. Mum is paying my sis and I if we work and I am craving to shop but am broke. Well, not only am I broke, I'm in debts. haha... I owe my brother some ka-chings so, to be solvent again, I got to work. Oh ya, remember I said my mum offered me RM 50 a day if I cleaned the house. hehe... I haven't started yet. My witty mum knows me best and that I despise house work, that's why she offered me that kind of easy money because she knows I was merely saying. -_-"

Theft!!!
Speaking of The Spring, I find the management foolish to the core of preposterousness. Yesterday evening, my mum went to help out at my aunt's little cute stall but, only to lose her handphone. She was partly at fault for leaving it unattended on the table but stealing is immoral!! She suspected that it was one of the salesgirl from Giordano because she came to the stall earlier on. There's not really many people that visit the stall at once so it's easy to pinpoint who.

She reported it to the management of course because there's a CCTV camera like just diagonally above the stall. It's understandable that the management wouldn't allow her to see the video but to add that the CCTV could not capture clearly is such a feeble. Don't you think? Then, what's the point of having the dirt low quality CCTV camera there? Just to paint a safer picture of the mall to shoppers? Puh-leezee...That's sheer dumbness which agitates me a lot. Forgive me, but I really hate it when adults give illogical answers and expect us to just gobble it in as though we are brainless cogs.

They even ask my mum if she was going to make a police report. I suspect that they are afraid of the hassle they need to go through if a report is lodged because with that,they would have to show the video to the police and you know how these things tend to leak to the public, hence, tainting their reputation. Imagine if the police actually go arrest the Giordano salesgirl, IF it's really her. OOoooo..what a scene,right?

We understand they want to save themselves from the probable commotion but at least let my mum know if it's really the Giordano salesgirl whom she highly suspected. When my mum went to Giordano to look for the girl, she refused to come out from wherever she was hiding. She said she was on a break or something like that. Now,isn't that just odd? If she's innocent, what was she afraid of and if she's innocent, she won't even know why my mum wants to see her right? Hrrmm.... fishy fishy.... My mum wasn't even planning to lodge a report, it's just a handphone after all. She just wants her contacts in the phone and knowing my mum, she won't even get the girl arrested.
The camera is just there. I'm no CCTV expert, but you guys tell me if you can buy the excuse from the management which is the camera couldn't capture a clear picture. Of course, it wouldn't be crystal clear but I'm sure the rough figure and image of the person could be seen.

Malaysian School Uniform Too Sexy??

School uniform sexy, says group

KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysian group condemned the uniform worn by girls at government schools, saying it encouraged rape and pre-marital sex.

The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction,” National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Munirah Bahari said in a statement.

“It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it,” she said, calling for a review of uniform policy so that it did not violate Islamic ideals. *roll eyes*


In multicultural Malaysia, home to majority-Muslim Malays as well as ethnic Chinese and Indians, female students at government schools have a choice of wearing a white blouse with a knee-length skirt or pinafore.


They may also wear a “baju kurung” and a headscarf is optional for Malay students.


Munirah said that “covering up” according to Islamic precepts was important to fend off social ills, including “rape, sexual harassment and even premarital sex.”


“This leads to babies born out of wedlock and, to an extent, even prostitution,” she said.


“Decent clothes which are not revealing can prevent and protect women from any untoward situations,” she said, suggesting that girls wear a blouse of a different colour or with an undergarment.


However, the girls themselves also came in for criticism, with the association saying that some used the white blouse to lure men.


“This is the source of the problem, where we can see that schoolgirls themselves are capable of using this to attract men to them,” Munirah said.

“This could see them getting molested, having premarital sex and all sorts of things.” – AFP

Gosh...blood boiling statement..Find something more relevant to bring up to the public la please... Our school uniform had been the way it is like forever and now,after 50+ years, they think it's inappropriate... Gahh..'Ciak pa bo su cho'


First of all..how are girl's school uniform revealing or has any sex appeal?? Pinafore pretty much covers all that is needed to be covered except the side which is slightly not covered but what can u see from the side? Besides,we're not allowed to wear fancy dark coloured lingerie. We would be wearing singlet underneath baju kurung. Form 6 blouse,we are to wear a singlet inside too and pastel coloured lingerie..Skirts and pinafore are usually knee length or longer. *scratch head* Where's the sexiness?


Why so conservative?? We have literally one of the ugliest/less appealing uniform in the world. Look at those japanese or taiwanese uniforms and compare them with ours. Ours looks like an apron. haha...


Rapist would probably prey on their victims without considering what they are wearing or how they look because they're just too "hungry",they can't control themselves. But if a girl were to dress in minimal clothing roaming dark streets alone then I totally agree that she should take the criticism cause that's sheer trouble she's looking for.


Wonder if they'd change school uniforms.. maybe white blouse change to black blouse..haha..funny..
