Foodie Friday

I made Boo's heart flutter watching me walking down his imaginary red carpet today with this rare Friday look (rofl):

I'm really not a Baju Kurung nor Jubah person—never in my mind had I thought about going to a mall in either one of them!—so it was such a rare scene, indeed. Initially, I planned to wear a brown shawl to match the bag. I even had both the shawl and inner ironed but Boo came a few minutes ahead of time so... I just grabbed the easiest one I could get, le sigh.

*but it matches Boo's T, yay!*

Love love looooove this straw bag I just bought!

Believe it or not, the first time I wore this Jubah was during our Khatam al-Quran ceremony and that was... 11 months ago(?). I didn't think I would wear it again so it became a surprise to the both of us (him, for he is so used to see me in skinnies and jumpsuits and me, for I am not a fan of kurungs and the likes).
Ada gaya bakal isteri solehah tak? Ahem.

For some reason, my 25 years and 5 months old self told me to wear this today and I am glad it did. I guess it was partly because we celebrated 'Eidul Adha two days ago so, still in the mood for Hari Raya. In fact, why not give Friday a little respect with a decent ootd once in a blue moon, yes? :)

We had so much fun, alhamdulillah.

Lunch date at Dubu Dubu Seoul Food

Went light with Pajeon (a Korean Pancake served with soy sauce + tangy vinegar)

Dang flabbit! That acidic taste of vinegar still lingers in my mouth as of RIGHT NOW!

I ordered Citron Tea 'cause I like how it always makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

And Boo ordered cold Patbingsu (a Korean famous desert of shaved ice topped with sweet red beans, soy jelly and corn flakes [presumably oats/cereals]) simply because he's addicted to it.

My new FAVOURITE Korean dish after Kimchi Soondubu Jjigae and Bibimbap

Cheese Toppokki (chewy Korean rice cakes served with creamy cheese)

OH GOSH MY MOUTH WATERS AS I'M TYPING THIS!!!

Then at Planet Popcorn:

We bought Seaweed Popcorn for me and Kimchi Popcorn for Boo

Guess what? The name says it all!

So, here's something diary-worthy.
I managed to persuade Boo to buy not just one, but TWO pairs of coloured jeans at Uniqlo! Brown and grey-ish blue (even pulled out my salesperson cap to convince him how the oxblood one looks good on him as well, pfft!, I failed). Anyway, for a guy who grows up wearing plain Ts and black and dark blue jeans (and doesn't like shopping (like, wt-eff right?)) , A+ for your courage (sebab mendengar kata).

See what am talkin' about?

Clearly I'm doing this for your own good, okay.

:P

We need colours; spice up a lil'!

CUE MUSIC!

"I know you want meh, want meh,

You know I wantcha, wantcha,

I know you want mey~~h, 

You know I wantcha, wantcha!"

You never know if you don't try.

Now, don't forget to alter/hem both jeans.

Aiyo, why-lah you so cute...

Kekeke.

P/s: Had our dinner at Steamboat Antarabangsa for the first time because it was getting late, and Seoul Garden was nowhere near our sight.

Thank you classmates for the recommendation!

CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC

Men always have this skeptical view of a woman being a shopaholic. Hear me now fellas, you are dead wrong. Not all women are born shopaholics. None of us knows that some day we will become one. It is some kind of a spell that falls on selected beings, that is all. So basically a shopaholic is a person who is a compulsive shopper. One who does not know how to stop shopping; often buys clothes and other things for herself (even for others - now go thank them). They shop, shop, shop until they drop - simply because they can't stand being weighed down by those shopping bags. Not to mention the sore feet and red aching soles from endless walking in sky-high Bordello heels.

Yums.

*******************

How do you know that you are a shopaholic? Easy. Answer these very straightforward, nail-biting questions and you will have the answer.

Have you ever shopped something secretly and tried to store them somewhere without allowing anyone in the household to be aware of those purchases?

~well, duh?

Shopping is no longer your hobby, but a habit. You shop when you are up, and you shop even more when you are down.

~can't help it

Your life quotes have somehow changed its meaning to something like, "What we can't solve in real life, we solve it through retail therapy". Or "If the shoe fits, get another just like it".

~who told you that?

You know you shop way too often to some extent where you think your wardrobe and room should already be a shopping paradise.

~err..

When someone tells you that you shop not because you need something but just for shopping's sake, you fickle. But when you try to explain to them, you stumble. "Just because" is your safest answer.

~pfft. pfft.. *rolls eyes*

*******************

SO WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY...

We shop because we like pretty things.

We shop because we want to look beautiful.

We shop because we are born with nine friggin' lusts.

We shop because we HAVE to shop.

Just because.

If it wasn't for us, all the money in the world would have no meaning.

It's not our fault that we can't stop shopping, it's the retailers who tempt us back into their stores!
*ehehehehe*

"We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops."

-Henny Youngman-

So guys, as long as you haven't said this yourself to your woman then there is nothing to be worried about. She is not (yet) a so-called compulsive shopper. Back her up! You love her, don't you?
*winks*

THANK YOU, CAFFEINE

Woohoo!

Guess what?

I'M STILL HERE.

Surprise, surprise.

Stupid caffeine has taken over and I can barely sleep. Mr. Yawn keeps telling me to stop doing whatever that I am doing and hit the sack pronto, but my, my, poor thing is just being ignored.

Much appreciation to all these awesome, fabulous online sites that I have something to keep me company the whole night.

fashionvalet.net

It is frustrating to say that the ones I drooled over are all super pricey! ALWAYS. Well at least that confirms the fact that I have such high taste in clothing, cough!
[puke here]

proudduck.com

I have to say, for once I actually STALKED this lady post by post; newest to the oldest (back until January 2011! Haha, no kidding!) No, no. fret not. It's just that I like her writing. Always high-spirited and funny. But umm.. Yeah, stalk really does sound vulgar at some point but not that I mean it. Well thanks to her commendable fashion sense, and her successful online shop, I couldn't help but to know which top is which that she used to wear in every occasion and then find it on Fashion Valet straight away. The clothes got me hooked, that is all. Don't get me wrong. She sure has an awesome way to promote them! Sad enough, the ones that I wanted are all sold out. Boo-hoo.

Feeling devastated, I googled again for something similar and was happy when I found this instead;

rarablack.com

Whoa, little did I know that this person also sells quite the same things as in Vivy's! Some of the garments did catch my attention so I sent an inquiry regarding them. Early birds catch the worm. Okay, that makes no sense here but I know you know what I mean. Forgive my "dawn talk".

I browsed some other blogshops too, but I think they are not worth mentioning. Simply because I couldn't find anything that I like. Hehe.

That's it.

P/s: Photos will be uploaded soon. If I feeling like uploading. Hehe.

3 DAYS OF FUN!

HEAR YE, HEAR YE!

I’VE GOT GOOD NEWS!
*woot woot!*

Well, I just got home from Shah Alam (yesterday) and I spent three days there for various reasons. I had fun, TOTALLY. All thanks to my dear Boo. I absofreakinglutely enjoyed these 3 days so much. It was a joyful ride each time, no matter where we go.

************

Day 1

So I went there last Saturday, by bus of course. Later when I arrived, we went straight to Seoul Garden for Boo’s 26^th small birthday celebration. A lovely day it was.

Oh, and guess who I met? My junior from SSP, IZZATI [Izat] -- She was as lanky as always! Knew her when she was in Form 1 while I was in Form 4. We were in the same sport's house, RED HOT RUBY in which a year later, I became the *ahem* House Captain.

Next stop was our favourite mall, Mid Valley. His, to be honest. Hehe and YES!! I finally bought a new handbag and a stiletto! Both are very, VERY gorgeous looking – they made me drool! Well, the day went by just as great.

Shopping is the best therapy?

*PRECISELY*

Oh, and there was a PIKOM PC FAIR too. It was hectic, crowds everywhere and they had such small lanes for everyone to jostle around – not really Boo’s thing. Poor baby. Well I bought a new cooling pad, that and only that. Haha. The place was packed like h*ll so... Thanks again Baby.

あなたはほんとに最高です！

(Anata wa honto ni saikōdesu!)

-- You’re the best! --

We had Subway for dinner.

************

Day 2

Attended Lulu's wedding (Fit's sister), after that we went to Amcorp Mall to find a tailor for my next “Wedding Kurung”. Oh, don’t get me wrong. It is for K.Mel’s (Boo’s friend). Can you imagine? RM120 for a simple, PLAIN modern kurung? And an additional of 100-freaking-50-ringgit just for the beads?? No way I would spend my money THAT much. JEEZ, that was undoubtedly overrated but I had no choice.

Later, we went back to Mid Valley for some mouth-watering dinner at Nando’s. It’s been awhile since we last ate there. Imagine Nando’s hot chicken and spicy sauces... Ah, just the thought of them makes my mouth water. Again.

BLVD. What a night...

P/s: Met my old SSP friends, Azie and Picah at Jusco; doing part-time. Hehe. Hey, girls!

************

DAY 3

Another fun day at Mid Valley.

*Saw Yayez with her boyfie. Ehem*

Played a few games at the video games arcade (what’s the name?) before we watched Beastly. It was the only 11.00++am show we could get before I went back to Tapah so I blame no one for that. Only ✰✰✰ from me – Nothing to brag about really, but still watchable. It's pretty much a human version of Beauty and The Beast, with a little twist of its own originality. It has good moral values to learn from, too.

Then we headed straight to Shah Alam for my walk-in interview and here’s the GOOD NEWS!

I GET THE JOB! WOOHOO!

From now on, you may call me a BEAUTICIAN. Hahaha.

Heck yeah, no kidding! I’m a beautician. Not yet officially but I’ll start working as one starting the next Monday. RY Saloon. Well, there’s so many things to think about now as I have only less than a week to make a decision – whether or not to accept the offer; with my bestie’s wedding invitation on this coming Sunday – to go or not to go and to be prepared for everything that I might need during the “migration”... Man, tough call.

However, I thank Allah for making it easier as I prayed for and I want to thank everyone for the kind prayers and wishes. You know who you are. Best of luck to me, hope everything goes fine since the first day and onwards. InsyaAllah.

To my dear boo,

- 3rd Feb 2011 -

P/s: Can't upload pictures so I temporarily replaced them with the emoticons. Screw you, MAXIS!

"BLING BLING!"

I bought LENS!

Not only one,
but
TWO
CONTACT LENSES!

Well, can't wait to see my eyes transform!
*since this will be the first time*

Kuchik said *she's the dealer* I can only get the lenses next month.
So till July we'll wait!

And I'm all fired up!

Before I start writing further, mind you;

"IT'S ALL IN THE LIST!"

Really.

Urm... Really?

-----(hesitate for 2 seconds)--

Well of course!

Okay, okay. Less talking.

This is just like a sharing moment.

A very pleased, cherish and thrilled moment I'd say.

So here goes.

Once a upon a time....

:

:

:

OH, SHUT.UP!

Hahaha.. Sorry.

It's this overjoyed feeling I have right now.

Makes me feel standing without gravity. (huhu)

Right, straight to the point.

* * * * *

I have this picture now in my mind which I can't get rid of. Ever since. I really was hoping that one day it's going to be mine and yes, I'm the type of person who'll do anything to get what I want, especially those with price tags. And are PURPLE. And wearable. And techie. And stylo. And funky. And... Okay STOP IT.

Believe me, it's chic and adorable. I've never seen this kind of lovely pairs which 100%-ly took the whole of my heart within a breath! I know it may look nothing but ordinary to some of you but hey, it's my heart I'm talking about. (hehe)

Mid Valley, Sunway Pyramid, KLCC, One Utama, The Curve, Jaya Jusco, Ipoh Parade, and guess what? SACC MALL SHAH ALAM Baby! Duhh.... It was only there on my reach!

Accordingly, here is the kind-of storyline I want to share with you;

Shopping Mate : Le'Lyn (A Complete Plaza Alam Sentral-SACC Mall-PKNS Walk)

First-time trial, end up "melecet" less than half an hour!

Couldn't stand acting walk-like-you're-a-model-with-good-heels; bought this slippers. (I admit, this wasn't in the list) Found the one after several times stepping on escalators.Entered The Store, thinking of Ayong and Atin (Blame Lyn! Ops!)Then, felt pity for Adik and Aja. Hahaha. (Credits for you Fitty!)
And here came the momentous part; My SO-LONG-I-AIMED-THIS Shoe! Excitedly tried it on - It's FIT! (No Fitty, not you.hehe) So now,

Proudly present my NEW, still-with-tags and the box Baby Girl!Now you know why. I'm a TRUE PURPLE LOVER! You bet.So authoritatively I wore THREE types of shoes in a day!And these are for all my sisters. Sorry I don't have extra for YOU.hehe.See how delighted we were! And, IS for me (as till now). Huhuhu.

Moral of the story: Plan for few kids! Save the for-siblings expenditure. HAHAHA.

LOVE YOU METROJAYA!

(SORRY, I JUST CAN'T HANDLE IT!)

Yesterday Fit called. She told me that there is a Warehouse Sale going on at Stadium Melawati for FOUR DAYS and she sounded so excited because she said she wanted so much (I guess.hehe) to buy some t-shirts.

I wasn't that keen to go there and buy something for myself as I realized I just bought so many things recently, especially CLOTHES. So today we went there and went out dizzy as it was so crowded with people and thank God there wasn't a Confession Of A Shopaholic scene; (when Becky fought for life for a nice pink Gucci boots - I remember.haha).

All the noises, heat, stuffs - I mean, LOADS of stuffs starting from an undergarment until the biggest bedspread and comforter and the most expensive handbags and perfumes priced much less than what I expected!

And here comes the actual HEAT. It was when Fit showed me this very dazzling PURPLE Polo Handbag which made my stomach flipped over! OH.MY.GOD. That's GORGEOUS!

It took me less than 5 minutes to say YES! haha. Besides, I was ACTUALLY looking for the right handbag, an eye-catching one, since I don't have any. Err... ------**

My lust was then been tested as I saw so many CLOTHES, which the like I always be crazy for (as what Lyn often said, those with "serabut" pattern. HAHA).

My early plan which was to only buy at least two to three items ended up.....

The first thing I couldn't say NO! (Thanks Fitty! Huhu)

I am SO going to keep this till I'm old!

(--- or till I get a new one.HAHA)

I can't go back shopping only for myself - Couldn't decide between these two, end up buying both! Hope you like these, Abang!

And as promised; for Abangah and Ayong.

Then I found out the VCDs are super cheap!

And of course for ME too! --- err...THREE..? Hahaha. Blame me, I JUST LOVE CLOTHES! (Told you, all "serabut"!)So these are obviously MINE (hehehe)

F.Y.I, this shirt was the last grab I made without second thought.


It's a sale! I can't say NO!?

All I want to say now is,

"Walked in pokerfaced, walked out bliss faced!
