if i am correct (i could be wrong), in fashion world a trend comes and goes so quickly that skinny jeans and huge glasses might be oh-so-last-season before we know it. it probably already is, who knows. if watching ANTM and Project Runway taught me anything, it would be that you need to constantly do a wardrobe makeover to catch up with the latest in-thing in the fashion magazines.
like, you know for Raya this year the trend is Baju Kurung Moden (btw just found out that it's a.k.a BKM Lengan Dato' Siti. LOL). you know which baju kurung i'm talking about. wait let me show u a pic:

wear this baju on next Raya and you'll look like Raya Tahun Lepas.
which brings me back to my point - "fashionably late" seems to be an ongoing trend that doesn't seem to fade away with time. so they say that you can never go wrong with a little black dress, is it the same as being fashionably late?
here are a few assumptions (to you late-bloomers, these are written in the form of sarcasm):
1. to avoid looking too eager.
if you're invited for an open house at 2 o'clock, and you turn up at 2.oo on the dot, you will look kebuloq.
which reminds me of last week. i wanted to go for McZaftrak but there were no buses and the only mashruts that kept coming were the ones that go to Kalushkaya, so i changed plans and went to Kalushkaya instead. i arrived at 9.45 and the mall is only open at 10. there were 20+ other people waiting outside the mall (it was drizzling) and people were starting to be fidgety, some were walking to and fro, and many kept peeking inside although they already know that it's still 15 mins to go.
but then... when the guard finally unlocked the doors, everybody started walking so slowly (too slowly even) and made the most neutral faces, as if they don't really wanna go into the mall at all. okay, including me. this i must admit.
2. it's Janji Melayu-lah!
everybody's gonna turn up late (sometimes even the person who sets the appointment/meeting) anyway so there's no point in being on-time, kan?
3. you don't wanna go but you have to
it's gonna be booooring so you're hoping that people will start without you, and you'll only be there when it started half-way. save you from half of the misery.
4. the Grand Entrance
the coolest thing is how people look at you as you walk in through the door, interrupting whatever that they're doing. plus you don't look too eager, you don't have to wait for anyone and you saved some time from doing whatever they're doing before you got there.
anyway, i think if we could at least try to be on time, we could save ourselves from reasons no.1, no.2 and no.3. (but the mall... they're already on time. hihi) reason no.4 is seriously an issue of bad personality.
it's high time that we realize that there is nothing fashionable about being late. nobody likes to wait, so don't keep people waiting. you're not the only busy people on earth. everybody has matters to attend to, and all of us have the exact amount of hours in a day.
so yeah. it's so last season.
