Target Q1 & Q2 2011 (Revised 10Jan11)

OK, I've come to my senses and decided to cross out some of the items on this list. Because I need to save the money for the...err...future. Hehe.

By end of January: Coach Signature Stripe Tote

I know the design is so common, but I really really like the 2-tone shades of pink!

By end of February: Coach Signature Flap Duffle

What I really like about this bag is that it is 2-way: can be worn as a shoulder bag or a crossbody bag.



By the end of March: Coach Zoe Optic Signature

This bag is cute, I like the overlapping 'C's and the reddish-brown colour.


By the end of April: Coach Carly Signature

I used to have a Guess bag about this shape and size. I like the fact that it looks compact but somehow I can fit a lot of things in there!



By the end of May: Coach Soho Pleated Leather Flap

I wish this bag comes with a more apparent coach logo/pattern. But nevermind, the soft pink shade is hard to resist!

My mum says this bag looks like one of the cheap bags that I bought in Sogo. So this one's cancelled!

After May, I hope I will be confirmed as an exec and that's when I will start seriously saving for the future and stop buying designer bags. Don't get me wrong, even though I buy these bags I still manage to put aside some money, but by 'seriously saving' I mean to say that I will put aside at least RM1000 per month. Seems like an impossible target isn't it?

Giant or Coach?

All I ever talk about these days is about Coach bags. Just ask my boyfriend and my parents. Coach, Coach, Coach.

Today I made plans with my dad to go to Empire Gallery or Sunway Pyramid this weekend. My bf won't be coming back on Saturday, and my father wants to survey another route to the office, so we decided to go jalan2 at the Subang area.

Finally I told him we should go to Empire Gallery. He said, "Mum wants to buy some grocery. Kat Empire ade Giant or Coach?"

I was like, "Hahhh?! Coach???"

He meant to ask, "Giant or Cold Storage?"

Haha. I'm sorry that he had to listen to be babbling about Coach bags all the time that the word becomes "imprinted" in his mind.

Liz Claiborne Pink Jeweled Heart

The Liz Claiborne Pink Jeweled Heart collection features 2 things that I like: the colour pink and heart shape.

Necklace and earring set
Bracelet

Ring

I looked at the website and each of these jewelleries retails at $12.99. Which is approximately RM50. But there's no way it will be priced at RM50 when sold in Malaysia. Here, even the ugliest and simplest Liz Claiborne accessory costs about RM200.

Highlights of 2010

Some of the highlights of 2010:

1. Took my relationship to the next level (merisik)

2. I graduated with a first class engineering degree (sorry I'm so proud of it, I just HAVE to write it here)

3. I got my first job.

My offer letter

4. Tried online shopping and bought my first ever authentic Coach!

Coach Poppy Signature Wristlet

After this first purchase I got addicted to online shopping. Which leads to another Coach wristlet...

5. Bought my first Thomas Sabo charm

...which leads to another 4 more charms.

Overall, 2010 has been quite a boring year. Not many great things happened to me. I didn't even travel anywhere this year. And I can't believe that I regard Coach wristlets and Thomas Sabo charms as highlights of 2010.

I have no resolutions for 2011. Every year I would make the same old resolutions but didn't accomplish them.

For the year 2011, I just pray that all my dreams and goals will be realised when it comes to work, love, money and health. Amin.

My Convocation Day : 7 August 2010

To make up for the lack of updates in this blog, I will post about some of the highlights that has happened so far...starting with my convocation day.

My convocation day was held at the multipurpose hall in Uniten. It was one of the most beautiful days of my life. All my hard work paid off and I am now officially an honours degree holder in Civil Engineering.

The convocation rehearsal was held on 6th August (Friday), and the big day was on 7th August (Saturday). My parents and I spent the night at Residence Hotel. Bliss....

We attended the convocation rehearsal in the morning and then took pictures around campus. Starting with the Admin building.

Life moves on but sometimes I wish there's a rewind button...

When I was little, I couldn't wait to grow up and go to school.

I looked forward to make friends and learn new things.

Then I started my schooldays and I hated it.

I struggled to fit in, I had to study real hard to compete with my friends and there were those endless exams.

That was when I looked forward to university.

I really liked the idea of freedom, to be independent and be able to pursue my dreams in the field that I wanted.

But that all changed once I finally attended university. I made some really bad choices, I didn't enjoy what I was studying and I constantly prayed that college life will be over real quick. What I really wanted that time was to graduate, find a good job and earn my own money and never have to look at any thick textbooks ever again.

Finally I got my degree and landed a job that pays me 5 times more than the allowance I used to get while I was studying. Guess what? Just the idea of coming to work makes me SICK and I wish I can go back to my childhood and NEVER dream about growing up again.

Because it's a scary world and being a grown-up SUCKS.
