My weekend was kinda boring. Spent my Saturday at home the whole day waiting for the bf to arrive KL later that night. I woke up at around 1pm (once in a blue moon thingy ok) and didn't know where to head to. The weather was horrible I think I can melt easily wtf and everyone seemed to have something to do, except for lonely me. Either holidaying in Penang, back to hometown, church, or work :(

I was comtemplating whether to go 1U, Bangsar, Sunway Pyramid, Bijou Bazaar or to go online in Starbucks. In the end I drove to the nearest Starbucks, tapau Mocha Frappe and a slice of Ipanema cake and straight home. Turned on my air-cond to the max and go online on my bed.. mmmm~ this is better than retail theraphy ;)

On Sunday, I sent in my car for servicing and the next thing I knew, they came to me with a bill whopping RM500 for brake fluid, brake pad, brake shoe, brake pump and labour charges...wtf. Who wanna sponsor me buy new car???

OK, we'll talk about last weekend then.. happier weekend..

Sheau and Esther were back from Singapore for Shin's BIG lansi day aka her birthday. She officially hits 25th, equals quarter of the century. Where else we gonna gather except Bangsar? ;) Esther was so eager to check out that place as we've been posting up Bangsar pics since gazillion years ago...

Simple celebration with Shin. We had our lunch in Marmalade (again) mainly because of the pretty murals on the wall ;)

Gathering equals camwhoring. 3 Canon(s) and 1 Lumix, we started snapping away as soon as we placed our order. Yeah, I'm deciding if I should get a Canon too 'cause the quality is wayyyy better than my Lumix. But bo lui, how?? :(

Shin's vegetable pie.. 'cause she's an all time health freak!

Esther's spaghetti aglio olio, which was very very salty..

Sheau's don't-know-what sandwiches.

And my signature carrot cake! I was being challenged to order this cake 'cause when I went over to the counter and asked the waiter for recommendation, he told me carrot cake is their best selling, but he can see I'm NOT a carrot person. So I ordered a slice right away wtf.

Sheau's hand is always the longest!

Me being damn obsessed with my studded belt 'cause I got it at a steal! ;) And yeah, I know what you're looking at. I admit I PS-ed my armpit ok.. *shy* Over PS-ed till now like damn smooth already -__-"

I miss you girls... T____T I miss our college life a lot...

Best camwhore partner and only shopping partner left in KL... whom shall I shop with when you left for Switz this July? T____T I hate chuuu... you don't love me nemore... :(((

We went boutique-hopping after that and I only got myself a simple tube top cum skirt at 50% discount. Tell me I'm good.

Saw this in Moca but can't decide wether to get the brown or white one. Since it's not really that comfy, decided to save up my money.. hurr hurrr...

AAAAAAaaaaa..~!!!!!! together with that (*O*) plush toy but Sheau failed 'cause she wanna act serious all the time one.. speechless towards her.. cannot make it at all..

Stairways to Tea and Sympathy ;) sounded like stairways to heaven..

Camwhoring in Mooie fitting room while waiting for Esther to change.

*Esther, I still want to bury my face in between..HAHAHAHA!!!!!!*

Waiting for the girl to pay..

Spot that girl!

Hopping from one boutique to another, each of us got something for ourselves, especially Shin who spent money like water, except for Sheau who got herself 2 bottles of SHAMPOOS!!! Damn cannot make it again. She's weird like that -____-"

Dismissed shortly after our Starbucks session as everyone got their own plans except for me who headed back home right away (I'm such a loner tsk tsk). Sheau left in a hurry to meet Ms Smiley Face whom remained an unsolved mystery till now...

I'm definately looking forward for another gathering again, hopefully before Shin cabut..

How much do you know me?

2009-03-13T14:29:00.004+08:00

1. Open the website: http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

2. Take the Personality Quiz

3. Copy paste the result

4. Tag your friends

Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
_________________________________

Here is the analysis:
You've got great self-confidence and you're full of charm. Most guys who get to know you will be attracted to you. You are far from sweet and proper; your intriguing personality fascinates them. Most guys find it easy to fall for a girl like you.

You don't really care about other people's feelings. You do things the way you want and usually think only about yourself. You are easy-going and love to have fun, but you can be irresponsible as well. You are not keen on serious discussions because they can make you remember that life isn't always about parties.

You are a bright, cheerful and bubbly person. You are thoughtful and considerate, and like to have fun. Everybody feels comfortable around you because of your pleasant nature. When you walk into a room, people's eyes are likely to be drawn to you because of your charm.

Your peers think of you as a fun person, but sometimes you can be a little irresponsible. You can be somewhat childish, and can try to ignore the fact that you will one day need to really grow up and be a mature adult! Perhaps you could start reading good books; they might help you look at the world in a different light. You do want to be taken seriously, right?

Your boyfriend thinks that you are a real doll but this is not a totally positive thing. Sometimes you can be a bit too sweet, and come across as being helpless. If you're like this too frequently, your boyfriend and other people are likely to get tired of you having to rely on them all the time.

**I think it's quite true.. especially the analysis.

Day 3 and 4 in Disneyland

2009-03-02T16:20:00.009+08:00

Warning! This is a picture post!

The third and forth day was spent in Disneyland, 'cause our tickets valid for 2 days and also we didn't manage to snap snap with Mickey on the third day wtf. Mickey resembles Disneyland what..

The entrance ticket cost us about HKD350 per pax. Price was lower before that and hiked up few days before we went T___T

So, this was where I celebrated my Valentines this year - in Disneyland!! ;)

We stayed in Hollywood Hotel and of course it was much much better than the room we stayed the night before. Notice I did not post up any picture of the room for the first 2 days? HAHA!

Camwhore is a MUST and check out my happy socks! :D

Proceeded to Disneyland after checking in..

Guess what. I did not bring over any clothes to Disneyland 'cause I assumed I'll buy new one over there but I bought all dresses and cardis and I only realized I got nothing to wear on the third day itself. Managed to pull out the 'jadi-lah' combination very last minute. I need happy colours!

Basic black top and pashmina digged out from my luggage. Pink footless leggings from Ladies Market and unfortunately my black top is too short to cover my backside as the leggings kinda sheer, like 80 denier?? Luckily I got this Cotton On long vest to cover. Got it the day before. Match 'em with this happy socks I got from Granville Road the day before and I got happy colours for my Disneyland outting!!!! :D Yay!!

Love this and I think I wanna hire one gardener to do this in my house garden too! (if it's BIG enough laa)

Some kinda Lion King show..

I seriously regret I didn't buy this!!! I think it suits me more as compared to the Minnie ears but the bf kept telling me Minnie resembles Disneyland ma -___-" *sigh* Yeah, I got the Minnie ears instead..

And it started raining shortly after that and we gotta get an umbrella. All stalls and souvenir shops selling umbrellas so it's not a thing to worry. But it's freaking expensive about RM80 for an umbrella!! I always looked at those pretty imported umbrellas in Isetan and thought at about RM40 it's sorta pricey.. but this, I can buy 2 of it already!! T___T

It stopped raning after like, 10 minutes?? T______T

I'm gonna frame up this umbrella and just hang it on the wall as decoration. Too expensive to be used.. T___T

Look. I bought the big ass Mickey's palm too ;)

Orbitron! ;)

Merry-go-round ;) ;) ;) It's my childhood dream to ride on merry-go-round with my another hald and my dream came true... T3T

But too bad all the pics turned out blur T____T

With Stitch. During collegetime I remember one of my collegemate Ronnie told me that I looked like Stitch. :( Not our face wtf, our ears looked alike to be exact :(

A place that turned magical during night time..

Mickey shaped ice-cream!!!! ;)

Yes, we bought everything Mickey and Minney, 'cause they resemble Disneyland *shy

Goofy! He's damn good in posing and did a lot of interesting poses but when it reached our turn he posed damn simple. Is it because he knew he'll lost to me no matter how good he poses arr?

HKD300,000 which equivalent to appx. RM150,000.. Buy me this and I'll be your slave..

Regret not getting this also 'cause this is more comfy to wear as compared to the Mickey palm. I should get this together with the kitty ear.. *sigh*

Magical fireworks.. I'll tell you how magical in the next post ;)

Look closely at this pic and tell me what you can see.. Answer in next post ;)

I'll continue with the forth day since it's all about Disneyland..

This is the Tomorrowland. It's everything about outerspace..

And forthday I seriously got nothing to wear already and I looked damn blah! :( Lesson learnt: Always have an emergency outfit!

Alice in Wonderland.

We were in a long queue (like 50 minutes waiting time??) to take pic with Mickey and Minnie and this Pluto walked passed. As we tried to snap this pic, he actually hide and tried to play peek-a-boo, which lead to this awesome pic, me love! ;)

Our dream came true.. ;) ;) ;)

(Shin: I should get that Minnie dress we saw in Mooie the other day.. so I can outshine her.. HAHAHA)

Donald Duck.. I love this pic ;)

Mulan. We took this pic 'cause nobody queue up to snap with her.. LOL.. What a pity!

This Stitch hat cost appx. RM200..

Mickey and Minnie!! ;) I asked him to buy and wear together with me buy he didn't want to, BOO! :(

Street parade! Damn excited can.. HAHA And picture quality damn bad 'cause the bf took with his hp, which he set the pixel to VGA wtf :(

The dwarfs even bigger than me T__T

Your boyfriend, obviously, HAHAHAHHAA!!!!!!

And so we left Disneyland in the afternoon, proceeded to Wong Tai Sin but we're late and it's closed. So we rushed to Granville Road to get a bag I spotted 2 days back. I couldn't decide then if I should get the bag 'cause I was actually planning to get the Burberry tote I set my eyes on, but alast, I told myself not to splurge. *haih* In the end, we gotta go all the way back to that shop in Granville, to satisfy my needs and wants wtf. And now, I'm regretting for not getting that Burberry tote, 'cause it's not available in M'sia.. *sigh*..

The Disneyland route MTR was pretty empty when we headed back from Kowloon so we get to camwhore a lot...

But didn't expect while we're busy snapping away our plane left already.. T_______T

In love with Hong Kong

2009-02-25T14:10:00.013+08:00

I realize it's been some time since I last blogged with pictures , 'cause I almost forgot how to upload! T_T Also, I have so much backdated pictures I don't know where to start or probably I should just skip out those..

Anyway, straight to the point - HK trip as promised!

My second trip to HK. First visit was a year ago, we celebrated 2008 new year in Lan Kwai Fong. But that was just a day trip as we're staying in Macau that time. It was really rush, so as this trip, but it was wayyyyyy better than the previous one. At least I had more time to shop!

Airport transfer to hotel. Many people told me to take the Airport Express (about RM90/ pax) - so-called cheapest way to HK instead of taking taxi which will cost like RM150 plus. But the friendly customer service staff in the airport recommended the airport shuttle! Comfy double decker at only HKD33/ pax! :) Yay!

The journey took about 45 minutes and the shuttle stopped right behind our hotel! Double yay! ;)

Of course our first meal gotta be HK famous roast goose! :) :) :) :) :) The restaurant was just behind our hotel. My collegue who's very familiar with HK recommended me a few famous eateries but I lost the list upon reaching T_T BOO!

I just love the sight of billboards everywhere, covering almost the whole building. Very Hong Kong (wtf, really in HK what!! -_-)

Why women can't read map.

Who said it's 9 celcius arr now!!! T__T

I almost packed my winter jacket till I checked on the weather forecast few days before and it's stated about 20 celcius. When I reached HK, most of them were nicely wrapped up in WINTER CLOTHING wtffff so I wore my cardi and opaque and in the end noon time it's kinda warm I was seriously sweating. Moreover the sight of people covering in thick jacket in this kinda weather made me even more geli and sweat even more -___-"

Ladies Market is very near to our hotel so that was our first stop. I'm not sure why but this trip, seemed like there's more to buy as compared to the previous when the market looked more a less like Petaling Street to me, except theose kinky lingeries..

And we spotted...

HUI LAU SAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I completely lost my mind.. lu la la lu la la lu la lu la le..

We got mango overdosed in HK. Everywhere we went we saw mango sago, mango drinks, mango pudding, mango mango and more MANGO!

And this coffee-flavoured steamed milk was also my favourite but I only had it once :(

I'm not a milk person but this one really gooooooooooood. Together with a tinge of coffee aroma omg it's heaven... I'm missing it already..

Night time to Avenue of Stars 'cause there's basically nothing much to do around our hotel area and also we're quite tired already.

What I got for the first day:

I thought I bought a lot but seemed so little over here :( Oh, there's Cotton On in HK and oh oh oh, I'm letting go that fury leopard print flats already 'cause it's just not so Cryst. Very comfy one if you're interested drop me a message! Fits Vincci size 6 wtf. *edit: No longer up for grab. My mum grabbed -_-"

That's all for the first day. Not much picture taken 'cause nothing much to capture and I damn lazy wanna edit my picture back home so only capture the necessary-lah! I don't wanna get blind. hRm.. I shall continue with the second day already.

Dim sum in a restaurant nearby. Bad choice. And I don't wanna elaborate more. I think Ipoh's dim sum nicer :( Or maybe we picked the wrong restaurant..

I love the MTR station it's damn colourful with all the tiles. I could spend whole day camwhoring in every station wtf.

Our second day spent wandering around Kowloon area and HK. More shopping but no pictures damn potong steam hor?

Spotted this Dogotel - dog hotel. So cute I wanna open one over here too! :D

We proceeded to Causeway Bay in the evening hunting for the bf's friend's restaurant. Walked round and round for hours finally found this restaurant with movie star pictures all over their wall.

Causeway Bay Spicy Crab, from the name it's obvious that they're famous for their spicy crab-lah!

Not crab. This is big ass lai liu ha (urine prawn arrrrr?????) I don't know what it's called in Engrish-lah but it's heavenly.. Big ass, 'cause according to the master chef, Malaysia don't have lai liu ha this BIG.

And this is the real food from heaven.....

Spicy crab with golden fried garlic and egg. It's perfect combination..

The claw bigger than chicken drumstick ok!!!

Oklah, too much already, but seriously it's BIG!

We enjoyed our seafood till we missed our Symphony of Light in Avenue of Stars *sigh* We were waiting whole day for it. The show is staged every night 8pm but we'll be going Lamma Island the next day for Disneyland *sigh* so no chance already unless we plan for another trip to HK.

In Lan Kwai Fong.

I don't know why but I guess the girls only feel warm at night 'cause it's the only place I can see Hongkies skimpyly dressed. Day time they're all covered and made me a bit shy wanna expose even my arms but night time they turned wild.. RAWR!!!

Check this out. I guess it's because the beer in those pubs in LKF are ridiculously overpriced and most people ended up getting beer from nearby 7-eleven which cost about RM5 and stood there drinking.. -___-" Just for the sake of LKF atmosphere arr?

End of second day. Potong steam or not???? :P

Anyway, purchases on the second day.

Not as much as you think I'll buy. You think I very rich arr!! -_-

My favourite buy!!!

Damn cute I wanna die.... T3T Got tail behind somemore... hihihi!!

PRIVATE.

2009-02-22T22:33:00.005+08:00

After much consideration..

My blog is going private starting Tuesday 2pm onwards. Am not sure how long it'll be closed for invited readers only, but definately not gonna go public in these few months. Well, depends on my mood.

Comment with your email (only Google account) if you would like to be invited. Sorry for any inconvenience lovelies..

xoxo.

edit: Do at least let me know who you are 'cause I'm not adding those without ID/ blog/ i-don't-know-wtf. Simply because I close this blog as I wanna monitor WHO reads the blog. Hope you'll understand. Thanks!

Private or no?

2009-02-19T10:14:00.003+08:00

I'm still contemplating whether to make my blog private. There's so much things I wanna blog about my personal life but I know who's been reading and stalking me. And I don't feel good when that particular 'someone' knows A-Z about me.

When I first started with this blog never did I thought of the negative side of it. Blogging is fun, but not when everyone knows everything about yourself.

Migrate to another host where I can lock certain post? Any recommendations?
Or completely close this blog for invited readers only?

Your say.

A whole new world..

2009-02-18T14:50:00.003+08:00

Hello all, I'm back to reality already wtf.

Because when I was in MTR to Disneyland, there was an announcement saying something like "welcome to a world of miracle" and when I was in MTR from Disneyland back to Kowloon, there was this announcement saying "welcome back to reality" wtf wtffff..

Anyway, the trip was amazing and memorable, though the ending wasn't really that promising.

And guess what. WE MISSED OUR FLIGHT BACK KL! How could that ever happened to us omg I can't believe it either! To cut long story short, we sorta overlooked the departure time and thought it's at 10pm and in fact when we reached the airport at 8pm, the rep told us 'fei chor lurrrrr' (fly already T_T). We looked back at the itenary, the flight supposed to be at 8pm!!!!!!!! Double WTFFFFF. We were seriously stunned and didn't know what to do and ended up calling AirAsia sales office in KL to book another flight back the next morning. No refund for the previous tickets. I applied for another half day leave. Initially I've applied for half day morning since I'll be arriving KL in the midnight but, *sigh*. We're such an awesome couple huh? :s

Pictures soon! 'Cause I have like 600+ pictures need to be edited T__T

Letmi randomly end this with this meaningful song..

I can show you the world,
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
you last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes,
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world..
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming...

A whole new world..
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you..
Now I'm in a whole new world with you..

Unbelievable sight,
Indescribable feeling,
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky...

A whole new world..
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it's getting better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be..

A whole new world..
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you..

A whole new world..
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me...

Stories soon! ;)

Little procrastinator

2009-02-11T17:04:00.003+08:00

Im surprise that people still bother checking out my blog, ahaha *shy* It's been quite a while since I last updated and I admit I'm really procrastinating.

When you away from cyberworld for a short break, it's like it's no longer part of your daily routine and you started to drift apart.

My bad. I'm really trying hard to be back active and I promise, more updates next week!

Yes, next week, 'cause..

I'M LEAVING TO HONG KONG TOMORROW MORNING!!!!!! wheee~!!!!! :P

P/S: Happy Valentines Day to whoever who still reads.

Hugs and kisses.

This is a scheduled post

2009-01-24T11:38:00.000+08:00

By the time you're reading this, I'm already back in my lovely hometown with very very limited internet access, enjoying momma's home-cooked meal, surrounded by kids, watching Astro day and night, lazing on my bed in my pretty pink room, gatherings with friends and turning into a PRINCESS.

Don't be jealous. I'm taking appx. 10 days off from work! Tee-hee..

HAPPY CHINESE 'NIU' YEAR EVERYONE!!! :D

Day 4 in Sapa - Y Linh Ho - Ta Van

2009-01-22T14:45:00.001+08:00

I'm seriously taking forever to blog about my Vietnam trip. Are you bored already arR?? You shouldn't be, because it's, errr... interesting! I'm speading the joy and experiences I had, see I'm that kind.

Anyway, the second day in Sapa was more interesting than the previous day.

We woke up early morning and the weather was slightly warmer than the previous day. We just took a stroll around the small town and waiting for the time to pass before we embarked on our next daytour we signed up the night before.

Again we were attacked by numerous of H'mong people who tried to sell their wares.

Guess what, a few of the ethnic people even commented I looked Vietnamese o_O Probably because of this, not much H'mong people followed us as compared to gweilos.

But eh, do I seriously looked like Vietnamese arr? ;(

Pork satay again!!!!! HAHA Told ya we indulged in this ev.e.r.y.d.a.y. during our trip in Vietnam! :P But this little stall in Sapa town is definately the best!

Basically the tour we signed up for only includes the transportation. We took this jeep all the way to the entrance of Y Linh Ho village, about half an hour from Sapa town. Like damn adventurous innit? Tee-hee. On the way, we passed by a few fresh landslides along the hill slopes omg it's really freaking me out! But the driver told us not to worry, it's a common thing there -__-"

As soon as we reached, we were attacked by a BIG bunch of H'mong people who rushed towards our jeep and surrounded us right after we stepped down.

The driver explained to us which main routes that we should be following and he'll be meeting us at the next exit.

At first we were kinda worried when we signed up for this trip since there'll be no tourguide following but the agent assured us that we won't get lost 'cause there'll be a lot of H'mong people following us to sell their wares..

.... and true enough, there were really a lot of them.. -_-" From young to old, I think this is their main source of income over there..

In the end, the total of EIGHT H'mong followed TWO of us.. and they speak quite fluent English. They asked me a lot of question too.

"How old are you?"
"What is your name?"
"Where are you from?"

blaa...blaaa...blaaa....

Amazing innit? Seemed like we hired 8 tourguides! HAHA!

The journey was much easier as compared to the difficult trekking the day before. Basically we entered from one village and along the journey we'll passby 2 more villages before meeting up with the driver at the exit.

Y Linh Ho - Lao Cai - Ta Van that's it.

We saw this pregnant Sapa black pig omg notice the bump??? There were a lot of Sapa black pigs wandering around and they're very tame. I stood right beside them for a few times and they didn't even bother wtf.

And the cats were very camera sensitive.

See? Can smile at me somemore -___-"

H'mong toddlers just stole my heart away. They're so adorable and I admired their independance, really.

This is the Red Dzao people. Basically these 2 ethnic people lived together in peace and that time when they met, they were all discussing about the ginger she held in her hand -__-"

We came across this beautiful riverbank with this traditional wooden coffee shop built by the side. The view was seriously breath-taking..

See? I can imagine the locals washing their clothes by the riverside pada zaman kurun HAHA

But when I showed this pic to my brother, he asked me, "What? The construction site near our house also looks like this what.."

-___-"

We passed by one of the H'mong's house (among the 8 who followed us the entire journey) and she offered us to take a look. Sure, why not?

She stays with her in-laws. When we went, her husband was drinking with his friends in her in-laws house and she took us to a smaller wooden house right beside where she lived with her husband.

It was much smaller, as compared to the house we visited the day before. What I can see was just the hardened mud floor and wooden walls. She was telling us where's the living room, the kitchen and the bedroom, but all we can see was just walls and floor. No furniture at all, nothing. It hit us hard how poor they really are.

Anyway, I did not take any picture inside the house 'cause I think it's not really nice to do so.

Cute toddlers again!!! OMG I shall just write an indiviual post and post up all toddlers pics I took during the trip *heart*

I was touched by the H'mong community, the scenary and the simplicity of life. It's not a common sight definately and worth the long distance travelling by train.

This lady looked very familiar to me when we first met. By the end of the journey I realized she looked a lot like my sister's ex-maid, Malini.

OMG... Malini, is that you??????? Apasal cakap bahasa orang putih sekarang???!!

About three hours of soft trekking passing by 3 villages, I've seen a lot, experienced a lot and I was quite traumatized by how hard and difficult they live their life. But this is a place I felt as if I've been really far away from city life and experiencing a true countryside. It's a place which I've never imagine I'll be able to step my foot in at all, apart from watching from Astro.

Before we leave, they offered us many kind of handicraft, but since there were eight of them, it's almost impossible for us to buy from all eight of them.

"Buy from me, please."
"Please, this is very pretty..."
"You want this? What about this? And this??"

We ended up buying from 5 of them as we're running out of Dong.

It's hard to say goodbye.

Back to Sapa town around 6pm and it was very cold. The remedy? ;)

Nah.

This is the best pho bo I've had in Vietnam! I finished up everything including the soup for the very first time of my life T__T Usually there'll be a lot of leftovers, but this pho bo was exceptional, it's too GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD to resist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friendly hotel staff. We left Sapa town by the hotel's van to Lao Cai train station that night itself.

Baguette we bought from a street hawker outside the train station. Saw many locals and tourists having it I guess it must be quite a common/ famous food in Vietnam.

Sapa is definately a place with energy like no others. I'd definately be back visiting again if I have the chance.

*sigh* I'm missing the people already...

p/s: Sorry if there's any typo error, will check later! :P Rushing out now!!

Day 3 in Sapa, North Vietnam

2009-01-14T16:46:00.002+08:00

Woo... so I've been out of the blogging world for quite some time. Stupid lappie died on me and I sent it to be formatted and spent 80 bucks. No more MS Office software in my lappie now BOO! I even lost my Adobe Photoshop software CD and gotta make use with my bro's older version with not much features, sigh!

Can't believe I've been dragging for so long to blog about my Sapa trip and yeah, I was in Hanoi last month, at this date as today. Which means if I turn back time to a month ago, I'll be leaving by train to Sapa tonight! Time flies, innit?

Seriously, our trip to Vietnam wouldn't be complete without stepping in to Sapa.

We took taxi from our hotel to Hanoi train station which was just about 10 minutes distance. There're a lot of small stalls outside the station selling light foods and drinks. But the station itself is a very old and dirty building and even everyone inside looked weird.

I felt like I've been transferred back to the past. Back to pre-war period. There were a few men who dressed up like soldiers sitting near us but in very unhygenic state. Unruly hair, shoes without socks and kept me wondering if they're really soldiers?? Soldiers from the 20s wtf. And next to them were some goods on the floor and inside one of the rattan bag I saw a dog. Which, I think it's dead and ready to be cooked anytime T____T

A man guided us to our cabin when our train arrived and the railway looked very very spooky, probably I watched too much of korean horror movies.. :(

4 sleepers cabin which we shared with 2 gweilos thank God.

For security reason.. LOL

We overnight in the train which took about 8 hours to reach Lao Cai before taking another connecting coach for about 1 hour to Sapa.

Sapa lies in the very north west of Vietnam near the border of China. It is a quiet and cold town on a mountain, home to variety of ethnic minority peoples like the black H'mong and Dzao people.

It was very fogy when we arrived the next morning and the weather was indeed very cold - thanks to Nghiep who adviced us to get a winter jacket before proceeding up to Sapa.

Chau Long Sapa Hotel where we stayed for a night.

After taking a nice shower (mind you we went out the whole day the day before and straight up to overnight train without taking shower since morning!!!) and getting some rest, we went around the small town to look for some food, some authentic Vietnamese food.

Pho bo - beef noodle soup. No trips to Vietnam is complete without trying out this dish.

The bf's very Cina style punya stir fried noodles - pho xao bo hoac ga

Guess he's not that adventurous when comes to food. I am the type who'll try out the specific place's popular local delicacies when I travel. For example, I won't look for nasi lemak in Vietnam or pho bo in Hong Kong -__-"

Little Sapa spring roll.

Completed with LaoCai beer and cafe sua. See? Very localized, HAHA!

Sapa is such a colourful town with people from the local hill tribes who head into the town to sell their colourful clothing and handicrafts.

There're a lot of stalls selling colourful traditional costumes which made me salivates but not buying in the end 'cause I find no point of buying it wtf.. We were also approached by a number of nicely dressed black H'mong people who offered us all kind of souvenirs

Elder women were more insistent. Its really hard to say "No" to them, probably they reminded me of my grandmama who's about the same age. But, buying from them means there're chances of us being attacked by more of them.

We've been indulging in this pork satay everyday during our trip in Vietnam, it's really good and I'm missing it already..

Some local dessert which I've yet to figure out what was it.

And oh, I got this checkered jacket from Hanoi! Yeah, right after I got this jacket, I had my bag slashed WTFFFF... And those gloves I got from a stall in Sapa. "You want gloves?? Sapa is very cold!!!" That's how I was being approached.

Roses again. This is the stall where the bf got me ONE stalk of rose, hRm..

We signed up for half day tour from a local travel agent to the nearby Cat Cat Village, about 3km from Sapa town.

Kids sliding down the staircase was a common sight. They basically lived a very simple life. It's a social community where everybody looks after each other. The tourguide told us that if there're 2 toddlers playing together aged 2 and 3, its the responsiblity of the elder to take care of the younger. They're much matured compared to kids here.

H'mong people make their own clothes independantly. It takes many months to make a piece of clothing item. They dye the cloth using indigo plant (as above) and they typically weave and embroider the fabric themselves. I was shocked to learn that a bride would stay at home for months/ years to make her own wedding gown! Wahhh!!! Crazy!

We paid a visit to a local H'mong house.

H'mong houses are large wooden structure with high ceiling, dirt floors and no windows. Pardon the bad quality of my pictures of it's totally dark inside. A pot of water was kept boiling to keep themselves warm and I was amazed that they can still do stiches in the dark -_-"

The kitchen.

Barrels of dyes from indigo plants used to colour their garments.

Cute H'mong kids! The young bare bottom girl was crying and the elder girl tried to keep her calm, how cute! ;)

This is one of the best shot we had :)

The scenery was surreal, but the journey wasn't easy. Noticing there're less tourists after a long journey, we asked the tourguide if it wasn't famous touristy destination.

"Oh, most tourist will only visit Cat Cat Village. This package you signed up involves very difficult trekking, not much people can do it.."

-_____________-

We were not informed of this 'VERY DIFFICULT TREKKING' when we signed up.

It was indeed very difficult. The very last time I had trekking like this was back in secondary school time.. I aged, I can no longer take up this challenge...

*sigh* No wonder I was that tired..

But the hard work was worth it all. This is the first time I experienced the true countryside.

Toddlers were left unattended and the adults didn't seemed to worry about their safety unlike in Malaysia. They played with tyres, tins, flattened bottles, they rocked on a piece of wood, and they still looked happy. ;)

Everything moved at a very slow pace there and I even suggested to the bf to consider spending the rest of our lifes there.

Local tourguide who speaks fluent English.

We came across this stall selling sticky rice in bamboo shoot and some roast meats. The sticky rice taste something like the local Malay's lemang but it's taken with brown sugar.

Alast, we gave up and did not complete the full journey as the trekking was getting too tough.

The sky turned dark around 6pm and not sure where all the people gone. The streets were more or less deserted, although hotels and restaurants are being built everywhere. It was kinda spooky and we dare not wander far from our hotel.

The hotel lobby.

Since there's nothing much to do at night, we just camwhored in the room.

;)

I really love their star printed tees and I bought 2 pieces in green and red!

And bought a lot more for my nephews and niece back home and they gonna rock the house during this CNY ;)

We took up another tour package from another travel agent the next day and there were much more beautiful sights and more amazing experiences..

I'm missing Sapa already...

Just a temporary hiatus..

2009-01-07T22:40:00.002+08:00

Because my lappie is dead. Dead means sudah mati.

:(

I think photos overdosed. Or maybe TVB dramas overdosed. *sigh*

Sent to medical centre and it's now being treated in ICU. Hope can get it back in these 2 days.. OMG I have so much to blog about-lah! And so many photos need to be edited :( What a way to start my new year...

Back blogging soon! Don't miss me!

Thrifting yesterday...

2009-01-01T20:54:00.004+08:00

Initial plan was to meet up with Shin yesterday after work to pass her some stuff from Baboobeep. It slipped both our minds that yesterday was new year eve and Bangsar is gonna be hell. So we cancelled the meetup at last and I made a very last minute decision to drop by Summit.

Because there'll be no celebration and no crowd, as usual..

The moment I stepped into the lobby area, I saw 80% like, EVERYWHERE. *gasp!* So I started digging, and digging, and dig dig dig dig dig..... Dig up dig down dig left dig right...

I've been looking for a perfect black comfy boots since forever! Furthermore this is is made of suede material and it's flat. I'm bad in wearing heels ;(

And do you realize it's quite Gucci-ish? Even the box is quite Burberry-ish.. LOL!!!

Last pair and it's my size, it's fated.. ;)

Electric blue flats! (told ya I suck in wearing heels!) Damn love the furry material. I know the flowers look blah, I'm gonna do something with it..

And my most precious buys!!!!

Ribbon clips!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)

I don't know if I should turn all these into brooches or something else but still they looked damn gorgeous when I clipped them onto my ponytail! ;)

Guess what, for all these lovelies, I spent less than RM50 ;)

Thank you..

2008-12-31T23:03:00.009+08:00

Thank you for your continuous support and making me a happy girl ;) Keep supporting!

Year 2008 is coming to an end in 10 minutes time and yeah, I'm sitting at home blogging T_T

No new year resolution, 'cause I know they never work. 2008 had been OK to me, I'm not saying it's a very satisfying year or an unlucky year but I'm definately looking forward for a more fruitful new year..

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 ;)

Merry Christmas...

2008-12-24T20:12:00.002+08:00

(just a reason to camwhore)
This is the 200th post by the way ;)

DAY 2, and I was still in Hanoi..

2008-12-23T23:18:00.003+08:00

I hope I don't really bore you with these touristy pics. Being in the foreign land I guess it's a MUST to visit all the famous touristy places like the museum wtf, the park and all.. And moreover these 2 lost souls were wandering around without a proper map.

So off we went to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum on the 2nd day!

Ho Chi Minh City has the name, but Hanoi has the man himself. No photos are permitted inside the building itself. No short pants , no hats and no other signs of disrespect are allowed while viewing. It's a permanent memorial for the respected Uncle Ho (and oh well, if you don't know who, you better google for it now -_-)

And I read from a website that every year the embalmed corpse returns to Russia for maintenance, so the complex will be closed for a few months.

Cool.

Vietnam has a lot of nice hats, really. This one cost like USD3, I think.

Not-very-nice-ice-cream.

Basically a few main attractions of Hanoi are situated at the same area, like the HCM Museum, HCM residence, One Pillar Pagoda, etc.. So the lost souls were wandering around again and we ended up in HCM Museum next!

It was very windy that day = my shawl to prove! Many locals were staring when this shot was taken -_-"

And oh!! Look! I have a new bag! :D Screw that robber who made me bag-less and ended up with toileterries bag the whole morning :( But I damn love my new bag. Love the suede material and that bunch of lovely flower petals! And it's BIG and SPACEYYYYYY!

I'm a happy girl once more!

Hello Uncle Ho!

The museum displays personal items and photos from HCM's life..

.. but I'm more attracted to this.

One Pillar Pagoda.

I forgot the story behind, but it has something to do with Goddess of Mercy and this pagoda resembles a lotus. Go google for yourself if you wanna know more. My knowledge in history isn't very good ;(

I tell you Vietnamese are damn romantic. Everywhere I go, I see couples sitting in the park and they can really sit for hours! Luckily the weather was cold.. -_-"

Random vintage bicycle with no historical value. Enough said.

Cawhored with the only policemen that looked friendly to us. The rest looked like they gonna shoot us anytime. But oh! Are they policemen? Or just security guards?? I don't know..

Back to Old Quarter during lunch time and check out the lady at the left hand side. It's quite a common sight in Vietnam people being seated by the roadside having their hair 'cleaned'.

When I passed by them I kept wondering if those fleas will fly to me T___T EwwWW!!

I had over dosage of caffeine everyday in Vietnam, like 3-4 cups daily. And I think because of this, I have constipation till today T______T

Communication breakdown and we have no idea what to order from those roadside stalls that seemed to have a lot of locals patronizing. If the locals like it, it must be good.. but too bad.

We ended up in this cafe full of gweilos.. and they have menu in English! :D

Bun bo nam bo - a popular dish from the south of Vietnam. Stir fried beef, bean sprouts and fresh rice noodles, served with sweet sauce and peanuts.

Damn good I tell you.

Bun cha - a traditional Hanoi dish. Marinated pork, rice noodles, fresh herbs and a light dipping sauce.

Also damn heavenly.

A lot of street vendors selling roses. It's a lovely sight. ;)

See! Another hat! Damn regret not getting it as it cost only USD3!!

In the evening, we went to the cafe overlooking Hoan Keim lake, just to be romantic-lah! LOL

The end of second day. Fullstop.

Because the same night itself, we took overnight train to Sapa where the real adventure to Vietnam just begun. I can't wait to blog about it already!!!!!

;) ;) ;) ;)

Lastly, Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday all!!!!!!
Christmas presents most welcomed!!

HANOI Day 1 - series of unfortunate events..

2008-12-19T22:09:00.012+08:00

After about 3 hours flight, we arrived in Noi Bai International Airport Hanoi.

Hanoi is 1 hour behind, which means we gained 1 extra hour that day ;)

And it is unexpectedly COLD!! All these while I was expecting Vietnam's weather to be like in Malaysia, or at least slightly colder, but I've never expect to see people wearing sweater and winter jacket -__-"

And all I had in my luggage were 2 pair of shorts, a few sleeveless tees, a maxi dress and thank god I did bring along 2 jackets, just in case..

After checking out from the airport, we took another 45 minutes ride to Hanoi town by metered taxi which cost us USD15. Vietnam uses mixture of both USD and Dong.

I could see paddy fields and very poluted air along the journey. Most Vietnamese had mask on them and it further proved the air was critically polluted.

We checked into our hotel in Old Quarter and my ex-collegemate Nghiep came over with his wife and 3 year-old baby Phat and off we went for brunch. He brought us to a nice restaurant where another of my ex-collegemate Hung is working as a general manager there.

from left: Hung, moi and the bf, Nghiep's wife and baby Phat, Nghiep

It felt so good to see them again after 4-5 freaking years since we left college! ;)

And guess what, both the bf and I did something really stupid we should just slap each other -_-"

We both took taxi to the restaurant which was like less than 5 minutes away from our hotel and the meter showed "16". So the bf asked the driver, Dollar or Dong? It's either the driver really couldn't converse well in English or he's just acting stupid wtf. He just nodded and said ok! ok! And took USD20 from the bf. We both just arrived and still kinda blur with the situation and couldn't care to think much. The driver returned us 15,000 dong and kept saying ok! ok! and asked us to get down. We both never put much thought to that until much later I asked Nghiep about it and he laughed his lung off ;(

"C'mon Cryst!!! This is Vietnam!! It's 16,000 dong, which is like USD1 only!!! Cryst!!!"

T_______________T

I don't know to laugh or cry..

Our room in Indochina 1 Hotel! The room was exactly the same like what we saw from internet but we never expect it was just a small shoplot -_-" No wonder no photo of the hotel exterior.. but nevertheless, the room was pretty satisfying ;)

Later in the afternoon, we took a cyclo over for a ride around Old Quarter at around USD2 for half an hour. This part of town is just like a large maze of streets with shops selling souvenirs, footwear, bags, silks, clothings, and anything you could think of.. and even coffins!

The traffic in Hanoi is horrible. Each and every space is taken up by motorbikes where each and everyone kept honking non-stop. Got car they honk, no car they also wanna honk. But it's amazing that although there's no proper system, I've yet to witness any accident over my 5 days stay in Hanoi. Not even a minor one.

Pork satay was one of our favourite during the entire trip. How often can you get PORK satay in Malaysia? ;) Never.

And it tasted aweeeeeesommmmmmeeeeee~!!!! :D :D :D

Dogs and cats along the streets were either Pekingese, Chihuahua, Persian or Siamese. No ugly wounded strays like in Malaysia. And they were all damn lanci one..

See.

Many selling balloons by the roadside. But not that kinda balloons where it burst easily. And I wonder how many balloons can they sell one night? 'Cause it seemed like everyone was selling the same thing.

As I was camwhoring along the way, a Vietnamese lady suddenly came over and put this freakingly heavy thing on me together with the ice-cream cone hat -__-" Shocked, but shiok ;) She asked the bf to take my picture and later asked me to take a picture of the bf.

I think he was also shocked, but shiok-lah.

The next thing we knew, she kinda forced us to buy 2 packets of pineapple from her. I forgot how much it cost, but it wasn't cheap. We declined, and told her we will only take a packet.

"NO! 2 people, 2 photos, 2 packets!"

Damn. What a smart way to sell her stuff wtf.

Came across a stall selling noodle and we gave it a try. Not knowing what they serve and there was some communication breakdown, we just showed them 2 fingers and in less than 5 minutes, these were served.

It was ok, but I stopped eating halfway 'cause I couldn't be sure if I was eating dog's meat T__T

This cafe by the junction of a very busy corver served the BEST VIETNAMESE COFFEE! Much more better than Starbucks expresso and much more cheaper..

.. and much more OooOOmmPppPhhHhh~!!!!

Around evening time night market started and we just strolled around hopping to find great bargain for winter jacket. We'll be leaving to Sapa town the next day and was told it's really really cold.

After much digging and bargaining in the extremely crowded night market, things happened.

In less than 3 minutes, I couldn't find the small wallet containing some USD and Dong that I just stucked into my brand new Ms Selfridge bag. Its weird, but I thought probably my bag was just too big and deep it was hidden somewhere in an unreachable corner-lah. We moved to the side and I removed out everything.

2 passports. Check.
The bf's sis' camera. Check.
Wallet with all my IC, license, RM, ATM cards, credit card, discount cards.. Check.
My camera. Eh??.. oh, in my pocket. Check.
Handphone. Check.
Small medicine box. Check.

But the small wallet was nowhere to be found. It's really weird 'cause I've been holding my bag really tightly and it's almost impossible to dig into my deep big bag for that small wallet.

We finally decided to head back to hotel straight and I poured out everything from my bag right away. Flipping in and out again and again but it's really gone. Confirm sudah. I kept thinking how impossible to dig my bag!!! And I even thought if it was my own carelessness probably I dropped it somewhere.

Only after about half an hour, I noticed this.

Blady asshole son of bitch. I'm cursing you to death till today.

No wonder the rest never drop out, 'cause there's an inner lining which he only cut a small hole to get that tiny wallet. wtf.

And he took away another small bag too, containing new Kiehl lipbalm, Sally Hansen hand cream, Clarinase, Travisil and 2 ang kong hu (Buddhist thingy - for safety and protection) I've been keeping since the very first day I came to KL and I felt damn insecure without it now.. T_________T

However, looking at the brighter side, we were lucky enough that both passports did not go missing else I don't dare to think of the consequences. Illegal immigrant from Malaysia wtf. Worse if they suspect me getting into Vietnam for some business. Prostitution double wtf.

Feeling miserable, I decided to dress up the boy.

;) *hugs*

Later at night, we took a stroll around the infamous Hoan Keim Lake, right in the heart of Hanoi, walking distance from our hotel.

And treated myself with this alcohol over chocolate ice-cream thingy it is HEAVENLY ok!! though the bf said it sucks ;(

That pretty summarizes my not-very-lucky first day in Hanoi..

*sigh* This is the worse thing ever happen to me during a vacation. Don't be silly, I think I'll just opt for slingbag or backpack next time.

Nno more pretty pretty, but no money ;(

Updating from Indochina 1 Hotel, Hanoi

2008-12-14T17:25:00.004+08:00

2nd day in Hanoi and will be leaving to Sapa later at 9pm by train.

I was robbed yesterday, my first day, silently. That idiot cut my new Ms. Selfridge bag while I was doing my shopping in a very crowded night market wtf and I'm cursing the robber to death may he get food poisoning when he use my money to buy food or whatever shit I'm seriously this bad luck damn 7 tulan now :( Will blog more when I'm back.

Need to shit now hahaha bye bye..

Away for holiday..

2008-12-12T11:43:00.002+08:00

The long awaited trip, finally.. ;)

Leaving tomorrow 6am for 5 days 4 nights trip to Vietnam!

... for our 4th anniversary ;)

Back blogging soon!

MIAO used to be my name, and still is..

2008-12-10T14:07:00.006+08:00

Couple of weeks back, I met up a few of my childhood buddies. Buddies I grew up with since primary days. Buddies whom I'm not afraid to be annoying, 'cause they're used to being annoyed with me for decades! HAHA

Sushi Zanmai at Gardens!

The queue was freaking long when we arrived and this is my first time queuing for food :( Usually I'll opt for other less congested outlet, rather than queueing and starving myself to death.

That day was exceptional.

Ivy the well-known Cheeky Pooh who owns a baby name Snoopy. And yeah, that was like memories of yesteryears ;) A girl I sat with during Form 5 and whom I hangout with daily.

Lihua (in white), STP of Igloo boutique spotting a short bob finally after so many yearsss. And she's now looking exactly like how she looked like during schooling time :P

And Monica is spotting a very short crop too! She's damn cool, from the day I knew her till today.

And check out both of them salivating over those foods in the menu.

And we ordered everything we laid our eyes on.. but it wasn't very satisfying and finally we decided to go for salmon and scallop sashimi.

Yummm~ ;)

Me as usual, being annoying..

And no, in case you're wondering, that's not my tongue. Need me to say more??

-____________-

Ivy being annoyed with my behavior wtf.

We yakked the whole night till all the customers left and annoyed the staffs a lil' :P So what? It's a lovely night with my soulmates and we're the queens!

Best spot to camwhore guess where. Damn difficult to get everyone into the picture.

While we're walking around the mall looking for nice place to camwhore, Lihua claimed we looked like Gossip Girl HAHA! But I don't like gossiping one!!! *innocent face* Really oneeeee....!!!!

Trapped in a ball..

I'm looking awkward 'cause I'm the one setting the timer and gotta rush to the spot in 2 seconds. They claimed 10 seconds too long and their smiles were frozen wtf wtf :(

With the help of a passerby. She was staring at us when we took the above pic and offered to snap for us. Damn shy la! Somemore when she approached me asking "Do you need my help?" 'cause I was holding the camera, I turned to them asking "Wan arrr?"

-___________-

*covers face*

At time like this, I always wish I could turn back time to where I belonged. How I wish to be back in schooling days again having fun gossipping everyday and spending my days not having to worry about anything except for exams ;)

It's been more than a decade we've known each other and I'm glad we're still keeping in touch and most of all, we're still who we used to be ;)

And MIAO is always MIAO no matter how time has changed ;)

ZAPPPP!!!

2008-12-08T16:50:00.005+08:00

Because I am a good girl...

And I listened.

ZAPP!! ZAPP!! Back with fringe!

Next appointment in early January to colour my hair! Burgandry or black?

What say you?

I can't decide..

2008-12-03T16:06:00.002+08:00

If I should get this Casio Databank?

And I can't decide if I should cut my fringe short again? hmm..

Hopping here and there and eveywhere

2008-11-25T22:23:00.005+08:00

I've been procrastinating to blog about my date with Sheau last weekend, blame it on lousy internet connection. BOO!

I think I'm sick. Very critical sickness caused by cyber bugs. Being disconnected from the cyber world really kills. I felt so lost. Has anyone updated his/ her blog? Did I missed out any nice clothings? Anyone uploaded photos on Facebook? Ah, it seemed like the world just stopped spinning. Felt like there's an barrier between myself with the people around me. shucks. I'm really sick! o_O

Anyway, a partner in crime was back to KL last 2 weekends and that was like, oh-so-rare! :P Rare, because she's back frequently, but most of the time we just didn't have the fate to meet up. It's either she'll be in KL and I'll be in Taiping, or she'll be in Taiping and I'll be in Kuantan. 'Cause we're both frequent travellers like that.. ;)

She's smart enough this time to inform me earlier about her visit and of course, I'll always be ready to welcome her.

Marked on my calender: 16th November for Sheau ;)

Breakfast in Old Town Sunway and she had her laksa early in the morning - reason: can't find this kinda laksa in Spore, so seize every opportunity wtf.

This girl loves anything spicy. The spicier the better. I remember when I used to stay with her during college time, she had her personal bottle of tabasco sauce ready to go with any food :\ And our dine out in Nandos will always ended up tragically 'cause she'll never resist the spiciest peri-peri combined with the spiciest sauce and Mr. Diarrhea will approach her shortly. HAHA! Sorry Sheau, but you're just too cute! ^_^

Remember I blogged about Oh & Ah Summer at Home sales few months back? They're back this time with their Christmas sales and we managed to drop by. Well, I guess the previous sales was better, or probably at that time the concept was still new to me. I was there during the last week of sales previously and I still managed to grab a top, a skirt, a dress, a bangle and a brooch. This time I was there during the first week of sale. Repeating clothes, probably leftovers from the previous sales. All I got was just a chiffon top.

The said chiffon top that we both got. I bought the one in grey and Sheau bought the one in black.

I always salivates over their necklaces. I wanna hang my necklaces like this in my room too! :D

RM 69.90 - it's wayyyyyy overpriced. But it's to-die-for T3T

Both of us proceeded to Showpink later. Shin was supposed to join but not sure what that girl did the night before, 'cause when we called she sounded like still on bed wtf :(

I'm that serious when I'm digging for treasures.

Sheau's nose started its duty. She was sneezing non-stop prolly because of the dusty vintage items. We left shortly and all I got was just a vintage scarf.

Both Moca and Mooie were having sales and I think it's still ongoing. Most of the items were dirt cheap like 50% - 70% off.

censored because I looked retarded.

This Ronald McDonald wannabe sneakers was on 50% off. Can't decide if I should get it. I don't wear sneakers that often anyway.. Oh, guess the very last time I wore sneakers was during... college time?? -___-"

At Tea & Sympathy.

One of my favourite boutique in Bangsar but I seldom purchase anything from them. Material used for their clothing are mostly thick and uncomfortable but I heart their design to bits.

An old lady was looking after Tea & Sympathy (probably Naomi the owner's mum/ grandmama). I spotted this top on a mannequin and asked if I could try it on. I guess she wasn't sure if there's another piece in the storeroom and she gotta remove everything froom the mannequin -_- I really pitied her 'cause it's really tight on the mannequin and together with the belt, the vest and the top tucked into a paperbag skirt, it's kinda hard to remove.

And I ended up not buying. Sorry auntyyyy... :(

Shin finally joined us around 3 in the afternoon with one side of her cheek bigger than the other. She just got her wisdom tooth removed, 'cause she got too much wisdom! LOL

Aww.. poor girl.. :P

I spotted this BIG MOUTH necklace and it wa slove at first sight. Almost brought it home but at RM 39.90 for this wooden material, I guess it's not worth it.

It was raining very heavily and we're stucked in Starbucks having unnecessary cuppa latte and wasting unnecessary time. Innitial plan was to go for our tea break in Wondermilk and meetup old collegemates in 1U, which we cancelled. The rain ruined everything. Both Sheau and I ended up in Sunway Pyramid instead. Shin did not join us we she gotta be home early for her beloved man. Ini kawan tarak guna mia!! :((

Only managed to catch up for dinner with Ram. (Thanks for the treat!) Been quite some time since I last saw this lengthy gentleman and he's getting skinnier and taller each time I don't know why :\

So I guess the next meetup with Sheau gonna be during CNY, ah well, that's just another 2 more months to go. CNY! Time to hunt for CNY clothes again!! whee~!!

When SUAY-ness keep coming..

2008-11-17T13:52:00.004+08:00

*sigh*

Thank God this year is coming to an end and this coming CNY gotta get my mum help 'da siu yan' (uhm, 'beat small people' wtf/ dunno how to explain). 'Cause I'm damn suay x1000000 *sigh* Last week I almost got sued and last 2 days I was almost beaten up..

Seriously, KL is no longer a safe place.

What happened was, last Saturday around 5-6pm I was driving near Summit USJ with my brother seated beside me. At the traffic light right in front of Summit, I was supposed to head all the way straight but I was in the far left lane (turn left). So I put on my signal to the right and keep right but traffic light was red and all the vehicles were not moving and I sorta blocked all the cars behind. The car behind me kept honk-ing but no choice-lah, I need to go straight instead of turning to the left which gonna lead me somewhere else.. He kept honking and honking and from the rear mirror, I saw him getting down the car. It's a Malay guy around 30s..

I thought to myself, "Shit-lah, later come knock on my mirror and scold me how!!!" and guess what. *take deep breathe* I saw him opening up his car boots and.. OMFGKKNCCBCLKMCH!!!! The next thing I saw was that crazy guy standing there holding a STICK!!!!!

T______________T

I was stucked in the middle of traffic jam and there were so many vehicles around and he was like so damn daring can!!! Of course, I freaked out and tried my very best to reverse my car and turn left right away (though there wasn't much space left, but die-die also must turn-lah!!!)

Turned left and he overtook me. And served me right also 'cause I was really angry at the same time of what he did and I honked at him -____- And guess what, the traffic light in front of us turned RED.

T___________________________T

Die-lah. This time sure die already... My bro kept asking why am I finding fault with a psycho. I also don't know why I'm so daring..

I saw a lorry coming from behind so I slowed down and hide behind the lorry -___-" But wtf, suey + suey = total suayness. The lorry suddenly turned into another lane and I ended up right behind the psycho's car T__________T I kept a distance in between and I really chickened out. His hand showing signal to me, asking me to go over to challenge him T______T

Traffic light turned green and off he went *phew* Thank God..

KL with it's ever increasing crime rates and this is the first time I witness how violent people can be. I don't understand how come he's so daring to take out the stick with so many people around and so many eyes watching. But anyway, I'm sure if he ever walk towards my car or maybe break my mirror/ etc.. no one will come to help. 'Cause this is minding own business society anyway.

May I know what the police are doing about the recent spate of crimes?

My dad was a victim of snatch thief many years back and when he went to the police station to report on this, all they told him was "Tak boleh buat apa-apa, dah banyak sangat kes macam ini.."

I was also a victim of snatch thief during my first year in college but no, I did not lodge a police report 'cause I'm very sure I'll be getting the same response..

Anyway, just beware and take a good care of yourself. The incident happened on Saturday was on broad daylight and I wonder what's gonna happen if it's at night instead. I might be blogging at being-cryst.heaven.com now..

Thank God I'm safe..

I got the 10th!

2008-11-13T12:38:00.000+08:00

I logged in to Polyvore the other day and clicked on a new message.

I was like, WOW!! :D

I randomly submitted 2 entries for "Chic nerd" contest is Polyvore few weeks back, didn't really put much hope as there're over 1000 entries o_O But..

I got 10th!! T3T

10th is nothing and furthermore it's not like I'll get any prize, but 10th out of 1114 entries really meant something to me :D

Yay-ness ;)

Oh! WOW!!

2008-11-07T20:18:00.004+08:00

EDITED

Guess what, I might be lamely sued by a former beauty pageant.. LOL

More on it later! ;D

(psst! Like, damn drama ok! I can't wait to update more about it)

/edit 121108

I received a call from an old friend the other day and seriously I was shocked, thinking why on earth would she wanna call me?? She's my high school friend, someone I'll never expect to keep in touch with, ever. And of course, as expected she didn't call just to say hi and just to keep in touch.

She reminded me of a post I that blogged about her 2 years back in Multiply. 2 YEARS BACK!! I completely forgot about that post.

She won a beauty pageant contest 2 years back and most of us were shocked. And I blogged about it very brieftly and of course I did congratulate her as well and wished her all the best in Miss Commonwealth. And surprisingly after 2 freaking years, she gave me a surprise call claiming a particular phrase in my blogpost got her into trouble.

"A prefect who used to complain anything about anyone to everyone."

According to her, my blog appeared on priority search in Google and a modelling/ whatever agency in India she was about to sign her contract with read about it, and questioned her personality. Obviously I was like, wtf. How can a big agency simply googled a person and rely on a random blogpost. Or rather, I suspected she googled her own name and created the story so that I will remove the post, I don't know. I didn't question further and just apologized and removed that particular post, like immediately, 'cause it didn't mean anything much to me and that was like 2 freaking years back. End of story.

And few days later, drama began.

She sms-ed me one night saying my link still appeared on google search. It's funny 'cause I'm very sure I've already removed it completely. I was outside when she sms-ed and that was on Friday night. I told her I can't get to online until Monday when I'm back to work and she replied saying, "I advise you to go to cyber cafe now". Like, what?? Advise me?? La la la~~ very funny.

Anyway, I did sms-ed Sheau in Spore providing her with my username and password as well and asked her to delete on my behalf as I can't get online. She told me the post no longer there. Fine. So I thought that crazy Indian fella was just crapping and I didn't give her a damn.

Few days passed and she kept calling and sms-ing, like e.v.e.r.y.d.a.y. asking me to remove but wth, god dammit it's no longer there I checked again and again for like 554168416357 times!!!!! I even asked a few friends to check but none read the post = IT'S NO LONGER THERE!! Her calls and smses continued and I started to ignore her.

And last Friday the real drama began. My hp rang early in the morning but I didn't pick up, 'cause I don't usually pick up stranger's call. And followed by an sms.

Legally?

What's the legal thing she can do with that simple phrase? I ignored, until later that afternoon, I gave my so-called lovely friend a call(instead of her manager), which led to a huge arguement through phone. She kept shouting and shouting non-stop and seriously I was stunned. What's so big deal about this simple phrase, I thought. I checked from google again, yes, my link still appeared on priority search, but it's no longer leading. When I clicked on the link, it's stated the page no longer exist/ it has been removed. However, it still appeared when I clicked on google's cache, but what can I do about it besides waiting for google to clear it's cache!!!!

Later in the evening she sms-ed again..

Delete my blog?? Crazy. She must be out of her mind. Delete my Multiply account of 4 years because of that particular phrase?? FYI, before I started with this blog in blogspot, I blogged in Multiply and had all my pictures posted over there, like loads and loads of 'em. So to delete my account?? No.

And I told her right off, NO. NEVER.

What character referance?? Sorry-lah, I don't study law, and I don't know what character referance means in legal POV.

And her so-called manager called later and just like my lovely friend, she kept yelling through phone and I tell you, she sounded so awful.. ugh. :s What kinda manager is this, I wonder. But yet again, I told her, I've already done my part, I've done my best, I removed the post entirely, but, I'll NEVER EVER close my account. Never. Never. Finally she threatened to bring this case up legally. Fine. Like, whatever-lah... I'm tired with all this drama.

My friend called again (argh!!! help!!! I just can't breathe anymore!!!) and I told her again, NO. I. AM. NOT. GOING. TO. CLOSE. MY. ACCOUNT. NEVER. EVER. NO. NO. NO. Again, I was informed they'll lodge a report and I told her by all means, please go ahead, but I'll NEVER fucking shut down my Multiply account. Thank you strawberry much.

Funny thing, I received this sms shortly after. ;)

No heart to lodge report? ;) Or nothing to report about and you're just being childish about making the whole mess out? ;) And she later asked me to draft a mail to google to get them to clear the cache, which of course, I don't really give a damn anymore. The bf even suggested me to lodge a police report that this lovely beauty pageant been seriously disturbing my life and affecting my daily routine. HAHA! I almost.

Yesterday she sent me another sms with just a word "Thanks".

I googled her name and yeah, cache has been cleared. I wish it's still there and I can attached the post here. I wish it's still there so I can wait for her to report this and bring it up 'legally'. 'Cause I really wanna know how 'legally' can she do with these.

And no, I don't wish to keep in touch with her. I don't wish to bump into her on streets.

Sincerely, I still wish her all the best in her future, 'cause she'll have all my 'blessings' ;)

Not that busy only-lah!

2008-11-06T10:29:00.002+08:00

I'm being caught up with Moonlight Resonance lately that's the reason for lack of updates. Damn chi kek I've been watching non-stop right after work everyday. My nephew came into my room one night and looked at me with his very shocking face, "You still watching! Later you become stupid than the world!!!"

T___________________T

FYI, my brother taught him to add the phrase 'than the world' so everything will sound more boombastic. 'World' is great, 'than the world' would mean 'greatest of all'.. *sigh* Why my brother like that one.. ;(

Recap on what's been happening lately..

I went back Taiping during Deepavali and on Sunday, we had homemade popiah ;) Taiping is well-known for its popiah, you'll never know how great popiah would taste until you try those originally from Taiping. Notice the word 'originally'. Never trust those hawker stalls who claimed they're selling Taiping Popiah in KL, 'cause they never taste like one. SHOO!!

Met up with Sheau who went back as well. It's been forever since we last met. And guess what, we had our precious time in Taiping's very first Starbucks Cafe and I'm shocked it's quite packed.

My eldest sis and bro went back as well. Together with 3 nephews and 1 niece and off we went to lake gardens. I wonder if my baby niece will become tomboy in future since it's all boys at home, but fred not, 'cause she's damn addicted with my boy ;( *jealous*

I went for a free photoshoot in Isetan KLCC by Ettusais.

Free make-up, free hairstyling (so lala!) and free a copy of A4 size photo. Took a few shots and the photographer kept pestering me to purchase another few photos but it's like damn expensive k! I enquired if I could just get all photos (only 10 I think) burn into CD and that cost me freaking RM60 for a CD wtf the CD alone cost less than RM1 ok!!! But I ended up with 2 5R which cost me RM 40 T__T And that free photo also he kept asking me to add RM10 for laminating, which I gave in as well T__T

Why so easy to cheat my money one!!

I found a random shop back in my hometown selling vintage tortoise shell frames!! And that straw hat my nephew wore damn cute right!! :D Am selling those frames in Baboobeep so do check out if you're interested.

Went Pavillion the other day while waiting for the bf to arrive from Kuantan and I camwhored in fitting room again. Damn love the first top from Topshop but no discount. I have softspot for anything with bows and laces.. I think I'm going back to get it.. and that brown knitted cape from F21 (top right) is on sale RM50 only!! Retailling at RM200 plus previously, should I?? Should I??

Babysitted my niece myself for the first time the other day as my bro and sis-in-law need to attend a meeting. I'm so motherly :P

After reading so many reviews on blogs, I finally went to Wondermilk Cuppacakes!!! Damn hard to find we went round and round Uptown for almost half an hour -___-" Love the interior and they serve the best cupcakes!!! :D (Sheau, we go next week k?)

Attended another nephew's concert. 4-year old Xuenmin's concert so it's not really considered 'graduation' yet, unlike Kent G.. HAHA! We were all laughing at Xuenmin's gel-up hair 'cause he kept touching his hair on stage, afraid it'd fall! LOL

See, I wasn't that happening after all..

I smiled.

2008-11-05T13:50:00.006+08:00

Recent purchases that made me smile each time I look at them ;)

1) Ladybug scarf.

2) Miu miu inspired bag wtf. Comes with detachable sling strap and golden key and padlock that almost took my breathe away :D

3) Mascara from SASA.

Like damn irrevant, but it's one of my best purchases! The salesgirl told me it's sold off in every SASA outlet in HK so I gave it a try. And I heart this to bits.. ;) It's called Super Dolly Powerful Mascara (like damn canggih ada itu oomphh!!) and it proved to make my lashes so camel-like, uHm, I mean, dolly-like.. :P

And my ULTIMATE FAVOURITE ....

Brown fringe booties!! :D :D :D So damn soft and comfy and made me go YII-HA! YII-HAAAAAA!!!!!! LOL!!

Yeah, damn random one I know.. Update soon, I promise :P

With love.

I'm not your slave.

2008-10-23T17:14:00.003+08:00

Damn you idiot who called and shouted blady rudely at me as if you mom never taught you manners. Damn you idiot do you at least have some respect and common sense? My deepest condolence if you're born this way, you have my sympathy, really.

You are customer, but customer isn't always right. So fuck off.

A best friend's wedding ;)

2008-10-21T11:38:00.008+08:00

I've waited for this moment for so long. Each time when we're out, I kept rushing her to get married, coz none of my close friends got married, yet.

But yet, so many people got married in these 2 years. Browsing through my Friendster and FB, many friends start posting up wedding pics, and baby pics! Gawd, and I realise I've reached that stage T___T Time flies, innit?

So finally, I received my very first friend's RED BOMB last month! ;)

She's so pretty ;) And her boobs so big that night.. HAHA!! *hide*

She had her wedding dinner in Sunway Convention Centre last Saturday. Ami is my ex-collegue from my first job in Nikko and of course, she's one of the best collegue to work with! All her constant swearing and cursing made my time at work passed by really fast! LOL

from left: cilipadi Cecilia, the bf, myself, Ami, Connie and the bf Bendy, Christine

All ex-collegues from Nikko, except Bendy. And yes, I knew the bf from Nikko as well *shy*

I got this dress few days before the dinner! I bought a black dress few weeks back but as days passed, as usual my love fades ;( And I figured out most guests will dressed up in black and I proved myself right.

Damn happy when I saw this dress! Perfect shade of green and love the flowy hem ;)

While in the car to Sunway with the bf, I realise something and told the bf, "Shit, I looked like Carlberg girl -____-"

After a while, I looked at the mirror again and told the bf, "Isn't this corporate colour of Acer! -____-"

But nevertheless, I love this piece so much ;) ;) Can wear for next company's events somemore HAHA! The saying goes 'Hit 2 birds with a stone'!

The ballroom with projector displaying Ami's wedding photos.

Again, the boy and I ;)

The bride and the bridegroom. Back home only I realise this is the only pic taken of the bridegroom.

Only 6 of us attended as few of them who're still stuck in hotel line need to work afternoon shift. Notice I used the work 'stuck'. Opps! :P

Showing the event that took place in the morning.

How come my glass so dirty.. T__T

Christine who flew from Singapore to attend Ami's BIG day.

Four of us with a spirit beside Cecilia o_O

Spirit no more.

The bf who turned all red after a sip of alcohol *sigh*

Very few pics taken probably just few of us attended. Ami messaged me the very next day, "Instead of uncle aunty now I gotta call pa and ma" HAHA! But I believe this is the life she wanted all these while ;) You have all my blessings..

I wonder who'll be the next ;)

Insecthopia

2008-10-17T06:00:00.005+08:00

Last Sunday I received an invitation (!!) to attend Kent G's graduation.

KENT G'S GRADUATION!! o_O

Yeah, he's graduating from his kindergarten of 3 years -______-

Damn, I tell you kids these days are damn lucky! Their graduation was held in a ballroom in Bukit Jalil Golf & Country Club!

Early morning, the bf and I were deciding if to go casual on shorts and thank God we didn't. Upon reaching I was in awe. Kindergarten's graduation in a BALLROOM!? shit.

My college graduation was held in the hall itself wtf.

The event started with Kent G giving speech in BM (like, whOa!!), followed by the 2 little girls in English and Mandarin respectively.

I always feel like sheding my tears when I'm in these kinda events. When I see pianist playing the piano gracefully in shopping malls, or when I watch Olympics, I always gotta hold on my tears.

Haih.. I know la I'm such an emotional person.. don't call me crybaby. shut up.

Ok, back to Kent G, I think he did pretty well, beyond my expectation. Even I myself, I don't think I can memorize such a long script -___-"

The graduates of Taska Children's World. :\

It's funny though seeing so many little tiny ones receiving scrolls on the stage. HAHA!

The couple in training to become better parents *shy*

The theme was "Insecthopia" so do expect to see all little ones dressed up like insects! :P

Performance by youngest ones in school. Three, tiga, sam, shan, drei .. years old toddlers dresssed up as bees! :D So cute I wanna die..

Noodle eating performance by 5-year old Jayearn :\

This is the funniest among all.. another batch of 3-year old dressed up as crickets and all they did on stage was moving their shoulders up and down for the whole 3 minutes!! HAHAHAHAH!!

And I think they looked more like WATERMELON!!! :P

Butterfly, obviously, by the 5-year old.. and it reminds me of wayang kulit.

4-year old dressed up as ants! And their costume looked like what my sister wore on that day!!! HAHAHA My bro-in-law said she's the queen and she should sit in the middle of the stage! LOL!!

This was centipede I think..

Mama in action.

Kent G's turn, dressing up as dragonfly! ;) And their costume looked like those ballerinas HAHAHHAA!!! Psst! The girl beside him, pretty innit? *winkz*

And this is obviously, spiderman. uHm, I mean.. spiders..

And everything ended with choir by those insects! eWW! I hate insects! But they're cute hihi! :P

Many told me they seldom see pic of my eldest sister in my blog.

Nah.

This is my 1st sister who looks exactly like my dad and that's her eldest son, Xuenmin who looks exactly like her. Which means Xuenmin looks exacty like my dad too and that makes all 3 of them looking alike! o_O

And I look like no one :\

The audiences and the pie.

This is Xuenmin who loves disturbing his brother Xuenyi. HAHA Xuenyi has bigger head than his elder brother!!! Does that means he has bigger brain arr?? :P

Finally, the star of the day and I. Damn, he looked like a punk kid with his gel-up hair and glitters all over!! LOL!!

My 1st batch of nephews..

'Cause they're really divided into 2 batch. These 3 nephews were born around the same time. And the 2nd batch comes together around the same time too! :P

Happy family la la la~ :P

Aye, browsing through these pics made me miss my childhood a lot.. T_______T But of course, I never experienced such a grand graduation ceremony-lah!

New Layout!!!

2008-10-16T11:09:00.003+08:00

... because I'm obsessed of myself, and Dada (the bear)!

wheeeeee...!!!!! :D

p/s: More links added too!

Kangaroo leap, leap, leap!

2008-10-14T11:18:00.000+08:00

Look who else was back last week!! :D

.. and now he's back to Sydney already :(

Had a scrumptiuos dinner with him in Pavilion last Monday. Only one photo taken 'cause we were busy exchanging stories whole night. Yakking through everything that happened for the past 1 year. Yes, it's been almost a year since we last met.

Pic taken back in year 2003. That was during our 3rd semester where we had drama presentation. OMG He lost so much weight!

Kean Leim's one of my closest buddy back in college time. In fact we spent quite a lot of time together during the last year of college. I'm surely gonna miss those moment..

Kean Leim, if you're reading this, all the best is your PR application and come back often k? ;)

I believe this chef-to-be is gonna make it BIG in the land down under.

What I did last Raya

2008-10-08T14:38:00.008+08:00

I'm back blogging again!!

Back in the cyberworld means I'm damn free already. HAHA Been meeting up some old collegemates lately who're back in KL awww my life is so meaningful! :D And furthermore I had my long 5 days break last weekend during Raya so I'm like totally rejuvenated already! :P I was in Kuantan again btw, but...

WITH MY PARENTS!! *jumps*

Yeah, it's the parents meet the parents time again since they last met back in my hometown last CNY. We stayed over for 3 days 2 night and everyday was filled with activities.. ;)

Yumcha in infamous Kemaman Kopitiam right after we arrived in Kuantan.

I forgot what this drink is called but I love the layers of coffee, milk and foam, topped with cocoa powder and a piece of Oreo biscuit! :D

Despite the heat and the crowd, my parents love the traditional Malay kuih over there thank god they weren't complaining! :P As for me, I always love open air dining place or just cafe by the roadside and my brother once said I'm trying to act gweilo! :( where got..

I love this pic! We were posing for timer shot and suddenly my baby nephew Zent G shouted and ended up with this happy shot! :D We were in the dragon fruit orchard btw and Kent G was amazed with that buncha crazy chickens roaming and cuckoo-ing around HAHA! City kids nowadays.. ;)

Btw, that's my bro-in-law in green top carrying my baby nephew Zent G, my 2nd sister in denim jumpsuit, my mum in green top holding my nephew Kent G and the bf's mum next to her! ;)

The bf and Zent G. All the kids love him I don't know why it's like he got that kinda fate with kids! Is this a good sign arr? :P

Off to Kemaman the next day!

And that's me camwhoring in the car with the maid staring at the back wtf. I have a few more shots with her staring as well. She's new here btw and I can tell she's pretty shock HAHA!

I looked so fair here.. and I always looked very fair when I'm next to the bf 'cause he's dark!! Bwahahahaha!!!!! :P Sorry beep.. Dark is very manly ok! Think Louis Koo hehe..

We went Pasir Hitam beach (or is it Batu Hitam??) where the sands and rocks are really black in colour! The place is kinda isolated actually.. so very little homosapiens.. :\

Love this pic! We looked so happyyyy!!!! :D And we looked so alike!!! o_O

That head scarf is actually sash from a top I got from Mustardqueen :P And thrifted top from Showpink! It's not really clear in the pic but I damn love the detaling and material of that top! :D

The bf far behind collecting seashells for Kent G.

Being Cryst. Can see a lil detaling on my top in this pic.. *sigh*

Cryst with big nostril T_____T

Had ABC in a stall nearby. Tasteless kns..

Almost the whole day was spent in car, driving from one place to another, take a peep and off to another place again till evening time and back to Kuantan again. *phew!*

The next day.

Shit. Anyone wanna sponsor me braces??? T___T Damn expensive now. I had removable one years back which I could just put it on at night and be all pretty again during day time. But as days passed I was getting lazier to put it on and later forgot all about it. And now all my unglam teeth are chucking out again.. T_______________T

Should I have braces on again?? But it's gonna be so uglyyyyyyy lah!! T__T *sigh*

Oh btw, if you're wondering where my genes came from..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I love my daddy!!! :D

Mata terbeliak. o_O

Garfield looking Zent G, mum and I.

In a temple. This was on the 3rd day before we left back to KL. And I was still posing like how I would when I was 4 years old.. -_________-

I wish I never grow up.

My life with Kent G.

Look closely and you'll see the maid staring at the back again.. Ew! Scary.. -_-"

We went to a tin mining museum lawatan sambil belajar wtf. I was posing alone for this timer shot and the bf suddenly ran to me. LOL So ignore my ugly-not-ready face..

Dream car! I'm so into vintage car and am considering to buy an old Volkswagen and change to new engine, and spray metallic gold! Whoa, damn cute! :P

Last of all, we had a groupie shot before leaving to KL ;)

from left: mum, pie's mum, pie's dad, dad, sis, kent g, bro-in-law, zent g, pie and i

I know what you're thinking. Letmi clarify this a bit.
This is just a random and casual trip. Don't think too much.

I hate saying goodbye..

2008-09-30T10:37:00.003+08:00

Just a simple farewell lunch with Yunny yesterday..

I will miss you girl.. can't wait for our trip this December ;)

*Psst! Yes, you're hot :P

Till we meet again.. have a safe journey aight?

Lotsa hugs and kisses ;)

The leftover 10%

2008-09-29T11:34:00.005+08:00

Am I the only one here who always try to fill up my weekends with lotsa lotsa activities? I'm not a homey person and I don't really fond of spending my free days just chilling watching TV at home. Even when everyone has their own activities, I don't really mind having own sweet time in either Bangsar or shopping centres or perhaps having my favourite cuppa Latte alone in cafe.

What about you? Are you a homey person or dya prefer spending your weekends outside?

Remember I mentioned that only 10% of my closest friends are left in KL?

Yala, the girl who threatened not to go junkyard sales with me 'cause I never mention much about her in my previous post wtf. We went, btw :P

But not much pictures taken, shit-lah I dunno why I'm not that obsessed with camera anymore :\ Is it caused by aging arr?? T_____T

*emo moment a while*

We went to Showpink around 1130am and was shocked 'cause it's kinda empty.. We browsed around and a guy came to us telling that they only start at 1pm -__- Weird. I remember the FB invitation stated from 11am till 7pm.. ;( So we left, to...

Shawn's! HAHA!!

This girl really addicted to short hair already 'cause she kept getting shorter and shorter crop. This time she had hers done ala Fiqa in Malaysian Dreamgirl.

I myself don't know why I ended up there 'cause I never plan to trim my hair for another few more months what!! And Fei the stylist chopped off my hair quite a bit which he promised earlier he'll just trim a little. Boo! I don't wanna trust him anymore T_____T

Went back to Showpink after that and I only managed to grab a top. I spotted a Zara bag there which I've been eyeing for quite some time, considering the price RM285 (I think), I'd prefer to spend on something else. But it was selling at RM80 in Showpink!!!!!!! I left it there thinking to try on my top first but but but.... the moment I stepped out from the fitting room, the bag was G.O.N.E.!!!! T__________________________________________T

Lesson learnt. Just grab, don't think. T___________________________T

We both did some unusual stuff which we'll never thought of doing usually. We were in mamak and 2 girls came to us for this Mobile TV survey thingy and we layan-ed. And then 2 men came promoting the Fitness First RM29.90 for a month package and we signed up! Yes, I'm hitting the gym soon! Influenced by Yunny already HAHA!

Talking about Yunny, I just bidded farewell to her T__T Another 2 more months or so till we meet again girl.. I hate saying goodbye.. *sigh*

By the way, what's in store today? ;)

Truly vintage piece from my aunt's wardrobe and more pretty tops with gorgeous detailings you can't resist! So, *click*! :D

My little sunshines

2008-09-24T11:49:00.015+08:00

* UPDATED scroll down.. *

Look who's back!!! :D

Justin aka Hangsing!!!!!!

and...

Yunny aka Gokyunn!!!!!!!!

WHEEEEE~!!!!!!

:) :) :) :) :)

*jumps and rolls on floor*

Both of them left Malaysia 2-3 years back for their studies and from that moment I always felt incomplete ;( Believe it, almost 90% of my closest mates aren't in Malaysia and I'm always lonely and depressed *sigh*

And having both of them back in Malaysia together is an added bonus ;) If only I could have a complete gathering including those in Spore and Aussie, I'll be the happiest girl on earth! ;)

In Marmalade, Bangsar last Monday. Yes, 'cause I love the mural on the wall, it's picture perfect ;) And notice I can't stop smiling.. hehe ;)

Shin and I with our usual Oreo Cheesecake, which we could only finish up half ;( We usually share but were feeling a lil' greedy that day. And it gone into waste.

I tell you this girl is a health freak! Damn disgusting 'cause she always orders drink with ginger and celery in it *vomits*

It's always fun sharing our stories, about our lives in these 2 years. Justin is leading a very interesting life and he had been travelling really a lot. 3 weeks back in Asia for this trip, but he spent a week in Laos, a week in Bali (yes, he's in Bali now..) and a day in Spore. This is one thing I admire about him the most. His experiences and his passion.

But we have one thing in common.. we are both camwhores ;)

Leftover cake and can you spot the lovely ferris wheel mural!

We're in kindergarten!! La la la~

Yunny came late. OMG I can't freaking believe the girl who was once so soft in college is teaching body combat now OMG OMG!!!!!

I.need.to.do.something.with.my.body.

I miss you girl!!! I miss all the moments we used to spend and all the gossips we used to share..

I don't know why am I posing like that -__- Are you seduced already!

Look at Shin. Don't look at me.

HAHAHA!!! I love them they're my perfect camwhore partners!! *hugs*

Co-incidentally this meetup there're 4 of us. The 4 who were finalist of Mr. & Ms. KDU 2002 ;)

We shared a lot of ups and downs during the competition and well, we sorta started our friendship that time as well. Those time we spent practising for our catwalks, talent quest, hunt for clothes, minor arguements and misunderstandings.. I wish I could turn back time and experience it all over again.

My all time perfect camwhore gang ;) I love you guys!!

Justin asked us to pose the Bond way.. and this is the outcome -___-

Another Bond style wtf.

Yunny's phone rang non-stop and she was on the line the whole night! Life of a body combat instructor.. so we decided to make some fun when she's busy in discussion :P

Justin, whom I spent most of my time in college with.

We got the whole place for ourselves that night. No customer patronizing thank God Ya Allah Hallelujah we can maximize our craze and all the service crew had hard time with 4 of us.. LOL

Yunny still engaged on the line. When I took out my camera, she told the person on the other line "Hang on! Hang on!" and posed.

-__________________-

Us pretending busy as well coz she was seen holding the handphone all night.

I'm such a good pretender HAHAHAAA!!

I love this shot most! ;)

They're leaving early next month, which is only a week from now and I'm gonna be all alone and depressed again. I lust for friends and gatherings :( haih.

I'm so proud of Yunny who got into the Oxford, I salute her BIG time.

Do come back often k?

Updated: Esther just reminded me. A photo of Mr. & Ms. KDU 6 years back which I planned to post up at first too but forgot all about it.

Spot us!* :D [shin, how come you looked like a geisha!! lol]

I don't think we changed much though, what say you?

*Hint: I was a traffic stopper, Shin loved guitar, Justin loved dressing up casually, Yunny wanted to marry a cowboy! :P

Just a teaser.

2008-09-22T17:14:00.003+08:00

Am meeting up loves of my life later after work! After so many yearsssss, finally we're reunited! ;) OMG, I'm excited!!!

:) :) :) :) :)

And simply because the lack of updates, nah! Present for you! ;)

SO adorable!!!!! AWWW~

Thank God my mum had no intention to disown me at that time.. T______T

Am a proud Taipingese! ;)

2008-09-15T22:13:00.007+08:00

18 years spent in Taiping, 6 years spent in KL.. I'm proud to present..

Taiping Sentral!!! T3T

I've never ever expect there gonna be such a development in my little hometown. Town of everlasting peace. Probably they're trying to preserve the so-called peace, there's not much progress eversince I was born. A close relative once said, "Eh! The last time I've been here was like 10 years ago and everything is still the same!"

But these 2 years there're so much of drastic changes, so much of progress in this old town. Tesco was built last year that caused massive traffic jam in all areas nearby. It also caused the crowd to shift from old town central to Kamunting area (they called it new town??). The Store and Fajar were both losing their businesses. Mind you, these 2 small supermarkets used to be the place I lepak-ed during schooling time :P The pasar malam area which used to be very crowded seemed so quiet the last time I went back. Some said it's the change of Feng Shui..

And recently, we have new shopping complex.

I never expect to have a proper shopping complex in Taiping, never ever. T3T It's like a dream come true cannn!!!

Starbucks, Old Town white coffee.. gaWd, new gathering places during CNY! ;) And Sushi King! And Noodle Station! :D

I went with my family last weekend when I was back for Mooncake Festival. Guess where I had my dinner..

Kenny Rogers Roasters!!!! :D :D :D :D

I don't know why, but it tasted better in Taiping.. HAHA!

Taipingese, tell me. Ain't you proud?? Ain't you proud?? ;) This is what I call scenary shot ;)

And we have Vincci too!!! I think other stores selling shoes can zhap lap very soon.. hehe

I heard there'll be cinemas too in a few weeks time OMG Do you know how long the Taipingese suffered without a CINEMA!!!! T______T I'm not exaggerating, more than 15 years I think, we lived without it. We used to have 3 cinemas, but 1 burnt down, 1 closed down, and I'm not sure what happened to the other one. And now it's coming back!! :D

I'm born a Taipingese, live a Taipingese, die a Taipingese.

To all of you who're working overseas, come back. Peluang pekerjaan banyak di Taiping. Masa depan janji cerah.

Taiping, ada OooMmpHhhh!!

I <3 Polyvore

2008-09-09T17:10:00.002+08:00

2008-09-05T13:38:00.006+08:00

... not me la, my sis.

This set of pics really long overdued but I can't get into the right mood to blog about it.

I'm also indecisive whether to post up these photos 'cause anyhow it seemed like people's privacy ma hor.. but can't help it also I like how the pictures turned out 'cause the lighting in the house damn cun can die weiii!! ;)

I *heart* the colours of my top. I call this my summer top ;) When I showed Sheau the picture before I decide to buy she was like, "Nice! Very summer-ish!" HAHA.

That's my mum at the back btw.

Best place to meditate every morning.

Damn funny 'cause my bro-in-law bought like 50 small fishes the day before and suddenly all went missing already. And we found out later that all the fishes were being sucked into the pipe -__- Probably the piping system too hi-tech already but damn yucky all turned white (discoloured wtf haha!) and some head missing somemore.. T__T

Being a nerd.

Never disturb Kent G when he's concerntrating :( He's inside the TV already.

Tak layan me :( Fine.

Everyone busy tidying up the house, Kent G busy watching cartoon so I camwhored! Love the red wall I think next time I wanna paint my house all in red so I can camwhore everyday sticking to the wall HAHAHAHA!!!!! So lame I know :\

Second floor. My sister wanted that sliding door 'cause too many kids in my family already and she doesn't want them to run up and down the staircase -__- She thought they won't grow up arr?

Her dressing table ;)

Her work room and I love the wallpaper! ;) It makes the room so bright I think I'll be arranging for a ptohoshoot session there for my Baboobeep-lah!

Er chie, eh sai? :P la la la~

My twin sister. Who's prettier?

Garfield Zent G. Does he look like Kent G?

This is Kent G who loves disturbing me T__T

My little barbie doll Qian.

Die-lah!!! I think Qian fall in love with the bf already 'cause she kept calling "I...v..aaaaa..nnnnn~~" followed by that chiooo kinda look -__-" Why is she like that! Even when my dad carried her, she shouted reaching for the bf.. "I...vv..aaa..nnnnn...~" omg omg!!

The other day when I was talking to the bf on the phone, I passed my hp to Qian and she hugged the phone smilling and called "I..v..aa...nnnnnnn....." softly.. T__T And kissed my hp.. T__T

I'm gonna separate them! :(

Off to Kuantan later after work!

Because I lost the rhythm to blog.

2008-09-04T11:31:00.005+08:00

1) My parents were in town last weekend and we had a very BIG family gathering. Total 16 people in my family.. WAAHAHAHA!!!! My family is expanding and still expanding....

3) I've been consuming too much mooncake this week. Oh, durian ganache from Mandarin Oriental (MO) is beyond description! ;) But still, I <3 my mum's snow skin mooncake best ;) I just bought a box of MO's mooncake for the pie's family.. that cost me freaking RM 126! T_T Why is mooncake so expensive?!?!

(my previous workplace 3 years back....)

8) It's going to rain again. Been raining everyday ARRGH!! I hate rain!! Rain = jam! T__T

Update soon! Bye..

Baboobeep first offline sale!

2008-08-27T12:00:00.002+08:00

I never imagine I'll end up having a stall for my Baboobeep. Was rushing like mad as it was a last minute decision and very last minute confirmation as well. To look for a suitable rack, to making the price tag and signboard. I didn't know there's so much work to do!!

Running late on that day itself. We're suppose to be there by 1030am but we reached around 1045am, and most of the stalls were almost done with their set-up. So I rushed in with BIG bags and asked around for the organizer. Initially I had my stall next to my sister's (yes, she had a stall there too!) but since I had a rack with me, I gotta shift in. According to the organizers, the BSC management doesn't allow any clothing rack to face the road.

Oh btw, no one feedback to me on the carpark incident yet. BSC management SUCKS big time!

It was really hot and humid when it started, I was dripping wet in my sweat. The crowd came in very slowly. Thinking back, it wasn't a right decision to set up a stall there as there wasn't much customers patronizing BSC anyway! Don't get me start talking about the management again. BOO! :( The bazaar supposed to start at 11am and it was kinda quiet till around noon time.

(Picture stolen from Chics Closet)

Before I could even sell off a top, I spent money on my brunch in Coffee Bean -___- die la like that..

With the organizers from Chics Closet. Very friendly duo I'd say ;) Nice meeting you!! *waves hand*

(Picture stolen from Chics Closet)

And this is my sister's stall. She brought back some stuff from India during her holiday few months back and wanted to join me for some fun as well! HAHA And that's her best friend, Kimmy.

(Picture stolen from Chics Closet)

I set up a stall together with my sis-in-law. I had my half share of goodies from Baboobeep while she had her share of another half, selling decorations and accessories made of clay. All handmade herself, till wee hour in the morning to rush for this day. HAHAHAHA!!! :P

Are you tempted already?!! :D

Doughnut rings! The doughnut necklaces were all sold off before I could take a picture of it. I might be posting up some in Baboobeep for sale soon.

RM5 for unlimited play. So they had whole dan of fun while we the adults work our asses off.

Sisters by chance. Friends by choice! :) Many said we look alike..

My neighbour Hwee Inn from AQMore.

And guess what. When the crowd started to come in around 1pm, IT RAINED!

WTF WTF WTF T_________T

Yes, it was raining cats and dogs my goodness sake and it was quite windy that we gotta pack our stuff and move in. I gotta say that there wasn't much preparation made for sudden act of God like this.

Most of out stuff got wet. Some traders decided to wrap up early. A trader told me it's better for her to make little lost than wasting money on paying for carpark..

Grumpy me cos Rain = No business. :(

And guess what, when I was in the lowest mood, I got a surprise!!!!

Oh-the-beep! Oh-the-beep!!!!! He did not inform me that he's coming to support me *touched* Aww.. he made my day ;)

With my sister's family who're all there as well to support her. My eldest sister dropped by earlier and she was like "What? Having family day here arr?" Haha indeed we were enjoying ourselves there.. :P

Zent G loves my fedora..

He really loves it...

My stall after we moved in to a shaded place. It was still raining..

Having fun at her stall again - cos there's no customer at all T__T

Handmade puppet snake from India + nerd on the left.

Kimmy, whom I cal Ah Guat cece ;) 'Cause I've known her since I was still a little girl. She told me that day, "Mei mei, you're no longer mei mei.. -__-" Yala, I've grown wtf.

Still raining T___T Nevertheless, the leftover traders braved ourselves through the rain and as expected, business wasn't that promising. The whole of WIP Cafe was crowded with traders instead of customers. hohoho..

Being Cryst.

Wrapped off at 6pm and rushed home for dinner and ready for Olympic closing ceremony. Though the crowd that day were really unexpected, we're all having fun. My mum called a few times and most of the time I answered her with, "I'm having tea time in Coffee Bean!" "Digging for treasures in other stalls now!" "Playing with my nephews laa.."

Family day, innit? :\

Bangsar Shopping Centre - My Foot.

2008-08-19T14:47:00.007+08:00

Update 20/8

It's CONFIRMED! I'll be in Chics Closet's flea in BSC this Sunday! Will be bringing over stuff from Baboobeep and some others as well. But, only brand new never worn items as the management does not allowed preloved items. And the best part, I'm giving RM5 off for each items purchased on that day itself! So, items selling at RM15 online gonna be RM10 after reduction! Steal, isn't it? ;)

And what's more, my sis-in-law will be selling decorations and accessories made of clay.. All handmade by herself. Fancy donuts hanging around your neck? What about fruits? Or personalize your own and we will see how we can work it out ;)

You won't wanna miss this. Cya there! :)

/end of update

I might be in Chics Closet's flea in BSC this coming sunday - as a trader! Whee!! :D

And no, I'm not selling clothes, but helping out my sis-in-law who'll be setting up a stall selling clay products. Home deco, accessories.. tad real and ooooooo some! Don't believe? Dare you to check it out yourself. ;) Well, haven't get any confirmation mail from the organizer yet so it's not like 100% confirmed. I'm actually asking if I could share the stall to sell my pre-loved babies..

I was there at the flea again last Sunday omg I'm such a flear! (if such word exist) Unpleasant things happened at the carpark damn drama one ok! :(

If you ever park your car at the basement of BSC, make sure you are driving Merc or BMW or Porche or Ferrari damn coz I swear the security guards have shits in their eyes!

I was there with the bf driving my little Atoz (small but cute!). If you ever been to BSC basement carpark, I'm sure you know most of the roads are blocked. uhm, you call it roads?? Whatever. So spotting a car about to leave, the bf made a turning into a no entrance road and immediately the security guard came walking to us and shouted blady rudely. I was stunned seriously. It was as if we did such a huge mistake and furthermore we're customers ok!

He was like, "HELO! YOU CANNOT TURN IN LIKE THAT YOU KNOW! YOU SEE THE NO ENTRY SIGN BUT STILL TURN IN LIKE THAT. IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME NEVERMIND! I REMEMBER YOUR CAR! YOU CAME HERE BEFORE! I CAN BAN YOUR CAR YOU KNOW!" (hello? ban?)

Blady asshole. This. is. the. very. first. fucking. time. I. drove. my. car. to. BSC. ok! Cross my finger swear to God. I was damn pissed off and told him straight off, "Excuse me, it's the first time.." "NO! I SAW YOUR CAR BEFORE! I CAN BAN YOUR CAR YOU KNOW!" "Eh! Helo?!" By that time I guess the bf sensed the anger in me and pulled me in without saying anything. Funny thing, he wasn't offended.

I dunno. Perhaps I'm handling customer's complaint everyday so I'm quite sensitive when people gets rude with me. My heart was pumping hard that time, damn pissed off already ok! Started complaining to the bf non-stop. Argh.

Before leaving BSC the bf brought me over to the security room and looked for that guy. HAHA I guess he also pissed off since I was like complaining non-stop. The other security guy paged that idiot in and once he entered the room he was like, "SO WHAT NOW?!"

The bf: Hey! I don't like the way you talked to me just now!
That idiot: WHAT! YOU EXPECTING ME TO KNEEL DOWN AND TALK TO YOU IS IT!
The bf: I'm going to make a complaint about you!
That idiot: My pleasure please do.
Me: Eh helo! What is your position here!
That idiot: Safety and security officer.
Me: Great. Just an officer.

Look at what kind of service BANGSAR SHOPPING CENTRE staff is providing. It's such a shame. I tried to lodge a complaint online but there's no email address provided in their website, except for an enquiry form. I sent in an enquiry asking for the correct channel for complaint and yet to receive any feedback from them. Bad service. Really bad.

And they BAN customers. Cool.

By the way, his name is John. Safety and security OFFICER. An Indian guy aged about 40 plus.

+.+.+.+

Ah ya, I removed the chatbox. Am working on new layout ;)

P/S: Remember the pink crocheted babydoll I bought 2 weeks back? Am selling it. Hit me if you're interested at crystlau@gmail.com.

My car today.

2008-08-13T17:46:00.006+08:00

**Edited*

Blady hell.

I woke up early morning to get ready to work. Rushed out my house, nicely in my office attire and nodded to kakak who stood there at the house compound hanging clothes. Got into my car, tried to start the engine.

No respond.

Tried again and again. No respond.

I walked back into the house, straight up to my room and changed back into my pyjamas -__- Kakak stared at me strangely. She must be thinking la, what the hell is this girl doing HAHAHA!! :P

I walked into my brother's room and whispered at him, "My car died.."

ARGH!!!! Wth!! I just sent my car for servicing 2 weeks back and spent 1k plus and now it's giving problem again!! Is it a sign that I should change my car already harr??

Another RM180 gone to replace the battery. Total RM 1530 spent, which I could use it smartly for shopping otherwise. At least shopping can buy me happiness but now it seemed like gone into drain. :(

JOSIE and the pussycat

2008-08-11T11:01:00.007+08:00

My weekend was damn satisfying :D And uHm, I overspent. Can't help it cos can't expect me to survive with RM59 for my Sunday right!

I had a date with my long lost love on Sunday. ;) A girly date so I'm being all girly, with my new navy chiffon dress I bought the day before (omg I damn love it!). And my ah-ma bag from Singapore! I'll really treasure this bag a lot, HAHA damn long the story but again wanna thanks all parties involved who took the trouble to get me the bag LOL!! *huggies* It's gorgeous innit? Where got ah-ma harr?

And vintage hair clip I got from CAP.zoo-ED. RM1 only la la la~

Darling Josie fetched me from my place right after her church meeting and we went to Family Day Flea Market in BSC. Very little stalls but still I managed to grab some pretty stuffs ;) There was a stall selling pre-loved designer bags like LV, Gucci, Burberry and when darling Josie first saw it she was like running towards me shouting"OMG!! GOT ONE AUNTY REALLY GO BUY WEIIII!!!" hahaa! :D

And she can't accept the concept of buying and selling pre-loved and she was like, "WHY BUY STUFF PEOPLE THROW AWAYYY!!!" -___-"

I told her I'm also selling by stuff online and she was like "HARR?? GOT PEOPLE BUY MEHHH???"

haih.. so speechless towards her already..

And check out what I found!

Fedora I'm dying to get for so long but everywhere is selling like damn expensive. This one I can bargain the price somemore.. Waahahaha!!! But both darling Josie and the bf asked me the same question.. "Eh.. where you wanna wear this to???"

Kill me laaaa.. T__T

My long lost high school love. She's my partner in crime during schooling time. A girl whom I can rely on, whom I share dark secrets with, whom I ponteng tuition and Saturday morning Rangers meeting with and oh, seriously it's really unexpected that we've not been meeting each other since a year ago.. ;(

I miss those time when we were separated during college but we kept emailing each other everyday without fail. Updating our life, new friends we've made, sharing every little ups and downs..

Time flies, really.

Anyway, we were supposed to catch up for a movie but the queue was damn blady shitty long and we ended up doing some shopping and gossiping ;) Just like how we used to be ;)

In Uncle Lim's.

Big ass mirror! Me like! :D

I spotted this new make-up store in Sunday Pyramid new wing called Etude House (from Korea). The pinkiness of the interior attracted me in..

Damn cun right! I love the dressing table, so sweet and girly! ;) That salesgirl was like "Oh, tangkap-la, sini memang cantik!" LOL

Love the wallpaper, baby pink cabinet, but eh??

So Xiaxue.. :\

The cashier counter.

I want a mirror like this also!! ;) And a BIG make-up box to dump all my stuff in..

But, am I being too old for this? Ok-lah, room for my daughter perhaps.. :P In the future.

Few things I bought. All reasonably priced. Sparkly baby pink nail polish, silver eyeglow pencil (love this!), sparkly light pink eyeshadow. And a free comb wtf. But it's so Anna Sui ;)

And 3 items from the BSC Flea!

Fedora, grey cardi with removable sash, and...

My FAVOURITE purchase of the day!

;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Pink and white striped babydoll with delicate crotchet and laces. Perfect with underlining somemore ;)

Ah, I love bazaaaaaaaaaarrrssss!!! But I'm so broke already :(

A digging day.

2008-08-09T21:20:00.012+08:00

I'm so exhausted, proven I'm old already-lah.. Can't shop the whole day like last time :(

I went CAP.zoo-ED. Managed to get my collegue to explain to me the direction to get there. It's really easy to find though. I myself was shocked when I reached there, didn't expect can reach so fast hohoho :P Lesser stalls than I've expected. Mostly online boutiques selling stuff I've seen in their blogs over and over again. Not much of a bargain. A few stalls selling second hand stuff like dirt cheap RM5 - RM15 but I'm just too lazy to dig dig and dig. It was damn stuffy and I sweat like mad, so ain't really in the digging mood :\

No pictures cos I went myself, wtf why am I such a loner T_____T I expect to be there for like 2-3 hours at least, but nothing much to dig so I left shortly.

Next to Showpink!

Again, I was expecting a crowd in Showpink like previously but *sigh* only got 5-6 stalls. Damn turned off already. But all vintage treasures and I can even try on the clothes! No digging this time cos they hang up all the clothes nicely :D

I love vintage dresses omg but tried on and all looked weird on me ;( Fell in love with a black vintage 'Ferragamo' (genuine arr?) bag with golden chain but wth cost RM100. Better go rob lah! The leather peeled off already somemore ;( BOO! And I spotted a vintage pink framed sunnies RM30 still can bargain but it looked odd on me :( Or maybe I looked odd on everything :( Bought just 2 items and left..

In Mooie next. My favourite boutique in Bangsar! ;)

I damn love this dress.. Perfect cutting, love the soft denim bottom and nautical stripes. But I don't fancy toga top much so, pass. For the price of RM59, actually it's quite worth it ;(

Feeling all summer and fresh ;) But damn transparent I don't wanna show my VPL.

And oh, spot my vintage brown bag hanging at the back. I bidded for this bag like crazy ok, onlined till late night afraid someone will outbid me the very last minute wtf. Tell me it's like so damn gorgeous! :D

In Moca, Mooie's sister boutique. My next favourite! Their stuff damn gorgeous but damn pricey also. Love this laidback carpenter kinda feel ;) But just don't think I'm gonna wear this often. And I gotta stick to my RM200 for the weekend budget la la la~

Back home looking at this photo, damn regret I did not buy T________T

I almost bought this but then realized the colour so similiar to secondary school pinafore -__- Nevertheless, the fabric is really comfy (chiffon) and fab cutting. This is the only jumper that doesn't make me like a nerd.

This is what I wore. Woke up late and lazy wanna dress up already so I went candylicious. When I walked out of my room my brother shouted to his son, "Look! Candy girl!" HAHA

Got this top back in my hometown last week. Love the chiffon tie back and candy coloured buttons ;) Taiping got gorgeous stuff sometimes..

My purchases! Oh well, I try not to post up much of these but then I really wanna share-lah! :P

I *heart**heart**heart* this skirt/ dress damn a lot a lot a lot!! Love the colours! ;) Soft flowy material with inner lining somemore. I planned to cut it shorter, can wear as skirt and also as a top.

Lacy embroidered white top from Ms Selfridge, at a bargain ;) Love the detailing..

Navy chiffon polkadot top/ dress with cute pockets. From boutique la coz last minute damn depressed already bought not much.

Scarfs I planned to use as headbands ;)

Colourful bangles at price I couldn't resist, vintage brooches and hairclip ;)

That pretty all sumarizes my Saturday.. looking forward to my next digging session tomorrow in BSC hehe :B

Total damage: RM141 (die la.. left 59 bucks for tomorrow meh?!! T___T)

DIY

2008-08-06T11:03:00.004+08:00

I was back in hometown last weekend so BOO!! to all of you who went Bijou! :(

And OMG I'm so excited already cos I'll be in KL this happening weekend. 'Happening', as there'll be THREE (3) junkyard sales WOO-HOO!!!! :D I'll be going to CAP.zoo-ED on Saturday - who's going?!!! :D le sigh.. I'll be there myself since those friends I contacted will be working on Saturday. OI! Where got people work on Saturday wannn.. Who is still available and don't mind to keep me company? :( Somemore I'm not familiar with the direction there.. haih.

Planning to stopby ShowPink after that, omg damn far ;( No choice-lah since ShowPink is only for a day thou I'll be in Family Day Flea Market in BSC on Sunday. Walao damn occupied already cos I have a date with my girlfriend to dig Sg. Wang after that -__-" Been so long since I last went to Sg. Wang, probably like a year ago.. or more.

Sales, sales, sales... I'm only sparing RM200 for these 2 days. I can make it wan! *defensive*

Anyway, I dug my mum's closet the other day and guess what I found?

LOL.. Blue satin top she wears to sleep, red vintage skirt from her teens (gaWd, she had 23" waist before marriage!) and vintage leather belt. I can marry to Superman already!!! :P

And I spotted this gorgeous fabric when we were out on Saturday morning and I bought it right away. Haven't thought of what to do with it, yet. A top? A dress?

So ang-moh.. I loike! ;)

From that pile of vintage-inspired buttons I collected...

Light violet ribbon..

And this (gasp!) delicate lace I bought few weeks back :D Gorgeous, innit?

All these look insanely gorgeous together, damn ladylike ;) Any suggestion what kinda top should I get my mum to make? Yalah, I'm not that great k.. my mum is the one making it.. dum dee daa~

Anyway, I got into minor accident this morning upon reaching the office

:(

Very minor-lah, but still sconsidered accident ok! I made a sudden turning into my office building without signal and I did not look at the side mirror. Still blur in the morning what. And suddenly I heard loud squeaking brakes sound and thud. Thank God I managed to stop immediately and that Indian man on motorcycle stared fiercely at me T___T

I apologized and asked him "U OK arr?!" and he kept checking out his right hand and ignored me. I guess he had slight injury. So I asked a few times, "Excuse me, are you OK??" (at least I did not run away. hit and run wtf) He stared at me and just drove off.. I was already shivering that time. Hello? Been driving since 2001 and this is the first time I hit on people ok! T____T

Miror scratches on my car but deep wound in me T_____T

"Encik.. are you OK? I'm sorry..."

Better than visiting psychologist ok!

2008-07-28T12:18:00.008+08:00

I was tidying up my closet the other day, sorting out clothes which were left untouched, to be sold off and to be given away.

I had major wardrobe revamp these two years, which I think mainly it's because after I joined this company I had more time to get online. I first started stalking on blogs, blog-hopping, linking to STKL, and from there I received updates on e-boutiques, where my love for fashion started to bloom.

I used to be t-shirt and jeans kinda girl. Or worse, only baggy tees (XXXL mind you!!) and jeans, in dull colours like black, blue or white during early secondary time (yala, cos I was damn tomboy that time wtf). I only started wearing body hugging kinda top when I was in Form 3, I think.

Disney, Giordano, PDI, Googles, were damn IN that time ok!! -__-" uHm, maybe only in my small hometown laa...

I started spending more on clothes after I discovered that I could actually sell off stuff in STKL. And when I was introduced to Polyvore, my spending habit became worse T___T I don't consider myself as a shopaholic, as I think there're more individuals who spend much more on clothes than I am. But what I had splurged on, I think it's way too much for low income buruh kasar like myself T___T

My recent purchases in these 2 weeks.

How to save like this you tell me la!

I officially hate Mega sales/ Bazaars/ online boutiques T_________T Shoo!! Go away!! :(

My small but damn organized punya closet from IKEA. Yea, I'm such an organized person ;)

Hanging from left: Skirts for work, long sleeves cardigans and hoodies, baby tees and short sleeves tops (colour coded), sleeveless tops, tube tops, long tops, dresses. I love hanging my clothes.. Makes hunting easier and everything won't crumple together.

Folded were those ugly tops and shorts I wear at home, jeans, shorts, leggings, pyjamas, shits I rarely wear but don't feel like giving or selling away *sigh*

Unwanted stuff ie: to be sold, given away, to redesign (like whOa!!! :P) etc..

I only started buying accessories when the very first DIVA store opened in One Utama. All nicely kept in those white transparent boxes with small compartments, just nice to fit my earrings and necklaces ;)

OK, I shall stop elaborating more coz I'm feeling damn depressed already. Guess what, I sent my car for servicing last Saturday and the total bill came up to whooping RM1350!!!! T____T Imma just eat crackers with milo this month laa.. I promised myself not to go shopping this month. Ikat perut wtf.

So help -> *click* Just updated with more pretty stuff ;)
