Bundle culture in Malaysia

 


Bundle culture revolves around buying second-hand clothes and items from thrift stores, often referred to as bundle shops or bundle stores. Popular examples are 2nd STREET and JBR Bundle, both offering a wide variety of second-hand items.


Many Malaysians, especially students and young adults, opt for bundle clothing because it offers fashionable items at a much lower price. These shops often offer a mix of vintage styles, which reflect classic or retro designs, and modern fashion that showcases trendy and contemporary looks.


This diversity also allows shoppers to discover unique pieces that are not typically found in regular retail stores, adding a personal touch to their individual style. Exploring bundle stores offers a sense of adventure, much like treasure hunting. Finding a rare or perfectly fitting item on the racks can be incredibly satisfying and makes the whole shopping trip even more exciting.


Bundle shops are more than just stores as they become community hubs where people from diverse backgrounds gather to browse, shop, and connect. It gives people a sense of connection and makes them feel like they share a similar passion. Interestingly, bundle culture in Malaysia also influences local fashion trends.


Many fashion-forward individuals love mixing unique pieces they find in bundle stores into their outfits. They not only stand out with personalized looks but also inspire new trends within their community. These items, often vintage or offbeat encourage others to experiment with more creative, sustainable, and personal fashion choices, stirring up fresh styles and new fashion ideas.


Bundle culture in Malaysia is not just about affordability and fashion but also depicts a lifestyle that combines being smart with your spending, and showing off your personal style while caring about the environment. It has since become another Malaysian shopping culture among the younger crowd for great bargains and self-expression through fashion styles.

Volunteer sekolah orang asli

 Pada 18 November yang lalu, saya menjadi sukarelawan di bawah sebuah organisasi bernama Bila Bila Odyssey, yang menganjurkan satu program di SK Bukit Bangkong (A), sebuah sekolah Orang Asli berhampiran Sungai Pelek, dalam kawasan komuniti Mah Meri. Sekolah tersebut mempunyai kurang daripada 120 orang murid dari Tahun 1 hingga Tahun 6. Program yang dijalankan berfokus kepada STEM, dan murid-murid dibahagikan kepada enam kelas. Saya ditugaskan untuk mengajar mereka cara membuat plastisin sebagai salah satu aktiviti pembelajaran. Setiap sesi dijalankan selama lebih kurang 15 minit. Saya sendiri sebenarnya turut belajar bersama kanak-kanak ini. Secara ringkas, cara membuat plastisin bermula dengan mencampurkan 10 sudu tepung dan 1 sudu garam, kemudian digaul rata. Dalam bekas lain, air dicampurkan dengan pewarna makanan dan untuk kelas ini kami menggunakan warna merah dan biru. . Air berwarna itu dituangkan sedikit demi sedikit ke dalam campuran tepung tadi, lalu diuli sehingga adunan...

Witty Game : Breakout at NU Sentral

 I recently went to Breakout at NU Sentral and played “The War for Rembrandt” with two friends. The game is recommended for beginners and has a 65% success rate. From the start, we purposely chose an easier game because we wanted a higher chance of winning, especially since the tickets weren’t cheap. Even the staff suggested we pick a simpler room. Before the game began, we were given a short briefing on the dos and don'ts. Only one person was allowed to bring a phone into the room, as we needed to download their app beforehand for in-game hints and assistance. All our belongings were stored in a provided locker. The game lasted about 50 minutes. Our first impression upon entering the first room was “wow”. It really felt like stepping into a different world. It was definitely a mental challenge. We asked for hints twice, yet still we didn’t make it through the final room in time. We really enjoyed it although we failed. Haha! Breakout is a themed real-life escape room venue located...

Buat MyKad Baharu di JPN Petaling Jaya (PJ)

Minggu lepas, I finally decided untuk renew MyKad kat JPN Petaling Jaya. IC lama I sebenarnya cip masih berfungsi, boleh scan dan guna macam biasa. Tapi fizikal kad tu bahagian tepi dah terkopek-kopek sampai I terpaksa tampal dengan salotep. Kad tu jadi macam tu sebab dulu I guna as Touch ‘n Go. Lepas 2–3 tahun guna hari-hari, especially masa travel naik public transport, makin lama makin lunyai. So, I stop guna sebagai TnG and just simpan elok-elok… memang nampak sangat wear and tear IC tu. Cumanya, setiap kali urusan rasmi macam di bank, bila diminta IC, reaksi pegawai selalunya terkejut tengok rupa IC tu. Setiap kali I akan explain, seganlah juga. Jadi, selepas bertahun-tahun (kali terakhir renew pada tahun 2011), akhirnya I pergi JPN PJ.  Sampai sana around 2pm. Parking memang ada, tak payah risau. I terus masuk, ambil nombor giliran. Masa tu pukul 2.09pm. Tunggu tak lama, dalam 2.43pm I dah kena panggil. Proses dia cepat je, ambil gambar baru and check butiran semua. I hanya d...
