To all my readers...



May all of you have a happy and blessed Ramadhan!

Last date before Ramadhan

Today my bf and I went to Sunway Pyramid for our last date before the fasting month begins. Once we start fasting, we will be staying at home and study for finals :p Yeah right. I'll be watching Gossip Girl and Lipstick Jungle of course.

Anyway, I already bought the Roxy bag that I wanted. They offered 20% discount on new arrival items because of the National Day. I think this is all a sales trick coz they only give 20% discount on ugly bags. Seriously, when I came last time, all the new arrival bags were so gorgeous. Today, the bags on display are just...blah!

I bought this silver tote bag with two zipped pockets in front. No more snapped-on buttons for me! There are many times when my bags with snapped-on buttons were ruined. Those are not the bags I bought at some small shop, but they're Axxezz and Dorothy Perkins! So after this, I'll only buy bags with zips.

But I'm not 100% happy though. Coz last time I went to Sunway, I saw the tote bag that I bought, but in bronze. That is exactly what I want. But I think they won't give 20% discount on gorgeous bags. I've had too many silver bags already. Well, one actually, the ruined Dorothy Perkins bag doesn't count.

I don't know how I got my bag addiction. But it started since I was a kid. I remember when I was little, I went to New York, and prior to the trip, I had written a shopping list. Bag Mickey Mouse was on top of the list. I just love bags. When I was a little girl I would stuff all my toys in a bag and carry them around the house.

OK, so it's settled. I finally got the bag. But I have a new wishlist. And everything on the list is related to computers. (Since when did I become a techno geek??)

Went to Harvey Norman and saw this pink laptop case which cost only RM55! Can you believe that?? Laptop cases are always RM100+,RM200+ or RM300+. I've looked everywhere...KLCC, Sg.Wang...all laptop cases are expensive! But I didn't buy the laptop case at Harvey Norman coz I'm afraid it won't fit my laptop. But when I came home, I measured the length of my laptop and it's only 12.5'', the laptop case can fit up to 14''.

Oh, and I found this cute pink mouse, cheap too. Only RM19.90. I want that too.

And since everyone in Uniten now has an external hard disk (I observed that Uniten students are always ahead in the computing department, I still carry a thumb drive around and I thought I'm one of the tech-savvy people too, but everyone else carry an external hard disk now!). At first, when I saw my classmates have those external hard disk, I was like, "Who needs storage memory up to 250GB??!"..Plus,it's bloody expensive too! But just now at Harvey Norman I saw this HOT PINK external hard disk and I just lurrrve it! It cost RM219 :( Hopefully I got a lot of duit raya this year!!

Oh, I need new headphones too. Preferably pink. Pink laptop case, pink mouse, pink external hard disk and pink headphones.

**edited**

Once I got home, my mum was all busy body and checked on all my purchases which is kind of annoying, she asked how much things costs and stuffs. I lied that the bag's price after discount is actually the bag's initial price, and then I discounted the bag 20% further. Hahaha.

Got my multicooker already!! Surveyed the prices of multi cooker and induction cooker at Ampang Point the other day. Apparently, induction cookers are quite expensive (prices ranging from RM169-RM399) and they're quite dangerous too. It's hard to find multi cookers around but there's one available in Cosway, it costs only RM119 + 1 coupon. So my mum bought it today. The multi cookers at Cosway Ampang Point were all sold out, and the Cosway shop near my house was closed, but my mum managed to beg the owner to sell it to her. And she did! Yeay.

Brown eyes vs. blue eyes vs. green eyes

Now I'm undecided between brown lens or aqua lens or green lens. Coz I've just realized that I don't look so dark after all with brown eyes.
Think I'll go for brown lens again. Aqua lens have a greyish hue and anything grey will make my complexion look dull. And my bf thinks green eyes are weird, reminds him of snakes or something. So brown eyes, it is then.

Addicted to TV series

I've just realized that the Internet at my apartment is 24 hours.

And if you download stuffs in the morning, the Internet is superfast!

I had downloaded the entire season 4 of Desperate Housewives, the entire season of Lipstick Jungle (it will be aired on TV only next month!) and Gossip Girl.

After this I won't be such a boring person after all coz I watch some TV series.

In Gossip Girl, I like Blair, and I don't like Serena. Because Serena...

a)slept with Blair's boyfriend, Nate
b)is so nice it makes me sick
c)has all the guys falling for her (Nate, Dan...) and Blair has none
d)left Blair and dissappeared,then come back and pretend like nothing happen

And I think Blair has all the rights to be mean to Serena due to the above reasons.

Colour lenses

I'm thinking of changing my eye colour.
The Freshkon Colors Fusion lenses have bigger diameter compared to other brands, so it will give you the appearance of larger eyes.
I don't want Misty Grey coz I've tried grey lenses before and sometimes they make my skin look darker. I've also tried brown lenses and some shades of brown makes me complexion look dull too. So Hippie Chestnut, Warm Hazel & Perky Brown are out. Sky Blue will look totally weird on Asians, especially Malays. Romantic Violet isn't suitable as well, coz I've never seen a human with purple eyes. Green is nice, so now I'm undecided between Cool Green or Baby Aqua.
Baby Aqua isn't as shocking as Sky Blue and it looks more natural too.

Community service

Went to Zoo Negara for the first time in...err 16 or 17 years!!
Since I was coughing and having flu, the zoo people had to "quarantined" me. They won't let me work closely with the animals coz they're afraid their precious, beloved animals might get infected. I was happy with this arragement though. They won't let me do the "dirty" work, like cleaning cages and stuffs. At first, they told me and the other sick people to just walk around the zoo, but they thought we're so sad coz we can't do any work (puh-leaze!) so the assigned us some minor tasks. All I did today was carry stuffs, clean windows (3 windows only!) and roll posters. By 1pm, we're done with our tasks. But we had to wait til 4.30pm for the community service to finish, so we walked around the zoo.

I got the chance to see snakes up close, and eeeyurghhh...frogs.
I've always thought that tigers are cute, but the tigers at the zoo seemed kind of depressed and unfriendly. Same goes with the lions. And I've always liked penguins, but they're not that cute anyway when I saw them today. I discovered that there are a lot of other animals that are soo adoreable and cute.
Like the hippo. The hippo can be cheated easily. Visitors hold up their hands, pretending to throw food to the hippo, then the hippo would open its mouth wide, and then the visitors would take pictures.
The bear was the cutest creature of all! It's so eager when people feed it. It's actually SALIVATING when people throw bread at it. So cute. Saliva dripping on its fur. Hahaha. The bear can wave at people too! Omg, I felt like hugging the bear!
The deers were cute too.
OK, enough story. Enjoy the pics:


A horny elephant on its way to mate. Check out its hard on! By the way, there's elephant poo on the floor as well.
Yay, I got a close up view of the giraffe!!!
This is a friend of Yasser...Say hello!
Flamingos...Actually they are very very pink, but my lousy Cybershot didn't capture that.
A black panther...err, no a cougar...gee, I dunno.
A friendly tapir (what do you call tapir in English?)
This adoreable deer is begging for us to feed it...


There's not pictures of me...yet. Will get them from my friend a.s.a.p.

A brief history of honeymoon

The book "A Year in High Heels" is so cool.

A few things in it that I find interesting:

The history of honeymoon

The tale goes that in northern Europe...once upon a time, a new bride was abducted from the neighbouring village. In order to keep his bride, the groom/abductor took her to an unknown hiding place, and had his wicked way :D
He waited till the bride's family gave up the search.

The wedge

The wedge was invented by Salvatore Ferragamo in 1936.

It's my favourite kind of footwear. The advantage of wedges over a stiletto is that there is more generous centre of gravity, so you can run all day. My wishlist!!

I still want the bag. Still haven't found the perfect bag for me. I'm not so happy with the Roxy bag. Nevermind, next week is long weekend coz of National Day. Yipee! Time for shopping.

Oh, and I want a multi cooker! Induction cookers are more expensive, so a multi cooker will be perfect for me cooking at my apartment.
