One of the most popular shopping centres in Malaysia, 1 Utama redefined the concept of suburban shopping centres when it first opened its doors in August 1995. Setting standards further, the shopping haven expanded with the launch of a new phase in 2004.

Today, with a gross built-up of over 5 million sq ft spread over 5 retail floors, 1 Utama is indisputably a premier shopping and entertainment mecca attracting millions of shoppers, both locals and tourists. It will soon be complemented with a 20-storey corporate office tower and a 5-star luxury hotel to deliver an integrated development with a distinct personality of its own.

Having won the prestigious National Creativity & Innovation Award 2005, 1 Utama soars with a proven track record.
1 Utama embraces an avant-garde retail mix of departmental stores, speciality and quality retailers – combining over 600 shops all running seamlessly to cater to all the shopping, dining and entertainment needs of shoppers. It is also the only shopping centre in Malaysia to house 2 cinemas under one roof totalling 20 screens, offer a Sky Mall, Tunnel Link, suspension bridge and a tropical rainforest within the shopping centre.

For easier navigation for shoppers, 1 Utama is divided into themed zones – Highstreet, Oval, Rainforest, Promenade, Promenade Lakeside, Centre Court, Courtyard and the Entertainment Zone.

I just found this lyrics interesting,
anyone know this song?

Have you ever felt like this: “Hey, I have no time to shopping, but I definitely need that stuff and I am not afford to lose any time of mine to only go for searching that stuff! Oh boy, I am busy and if somebody can tell me where I can buy it, where is the nearest shop, what is the price for that, what is the contact number of the shop… etc, that would be so much appreciated!”

Or felt like this: “Oh no, it’s going to 10:00PM MST, I was walking in the complex for a whole day, and the shops are closing. If I can know where I can buy that, it would not mess up my day…”

Or “Why the shops are closing so early? It is only 10:00PM now, and I’m still in the shopping mood, not enough for shopping~~”

Yes, my objective for opening this blog is to collect as much information of the shop in Malaysia as possible. Where the shop can be a real physical shop, which may selling anything such as books, clothes, toys, special event’s gift and etc. I would like to provide the information like location of the shop, price of the item, introduce some special thingy that may attract the reader’s eyes, what is hot selling and from that, the reader might have some idea for where he would go for shopping. Of coz with the information provided, he may compare the price by himself first before pay a visit to the shop; he may search for the item and see which shop is selling what he wants; he may save some time from walking a whole day to get the stuff; he may knows the newest version of that item; etc.

And for the shoppy, he also would have so many benefits if he provides me the information that he wanted to let everybody knows. About his shop, what is selling in his shop, location, what special of his shop is, any BIG SALES, any new items arrive and etc. All of that can be added in my blog. This is something like advertisement, but the difference is, I will provide an entry of the blog only for one shop at a time. I will describe the shop, and the items they have. Unlike any other advertising such as banner, I am not do that, because I want the reader have a kind of feeling of they are “Shopping” when they are visiting my blog. =)! In the result, the shoppy may have more opportunity to reveal the items that he is selling and also, would have more opportunity to get more customer to go into his shop! =)

This idea has come out from my mind quite long time ago, but I scare of started up. Why? Because I have a full time job and I think this is hard to maintain. I am a system developer; I cannot bear with everyday doing the same job. I like some difference and I like shopping too, but my time is restricted me to do that. After discussed with my friend, she is willing to help me to update some part of this blog. I am very happy for her help. Today is a big day, because I have started it. If it starts, then it cannot be stopped! =) Settle up the target, I would like to gather 100 shoppy in my blog now. If you interested to list your shop items in my blog, please contact me at shoplonger@gmail.com.

After gather 100 shoppy, that’s the time for me to opening up my own web site for MyShopper. That’s mean that is not in the blog format, i will develop a system to manage the shoppy’s item and enable user to search by category, by location or etc. Let’s gather 100 shoppy now first.

Registration open for Malaysian only.
