:: finally! ::

* FINALLY *

.....I'm back to the blogging world. Sorry for the temporary hiatus. Been very busy at work and I was down with combination of slight fever, running nose, terrible cough and toothache. Except for fever, other culprits still disturbing me until now and the earliest dentist appointment I could get is next Tuesday. Terrible. I'm living in major pain -_-


* FINALLY *

.....I got a nice maxi dress. Been interested in owning one since months ago. Have been eyeing for maxi dresses from the PopLook but always contemplate because I do not want to be upset if it does not fit me well. We have sale booths in Menara TM this week so I went down to check it out yesterday. Found this particular booth selling pretty and good quality blouses, skirts and also maxi dresses. Price for each item was very reasonable and way better than blogshops so I did an impulsive shopping spree buying two blouses, two maxi dresses and a scallop long skirt. It was a great, satisfying bargain because when I tested all the items at home early this morning, they fit me well and made me happy so I wore the black maxi dress to office. Not only that, I also went back to the booth and grabbed another maxi dress in ocean blue and another chiffon top. Happy~!!!

The new black maxi paired with leopard print belt, cream knitted cardie, cream & pink shawl and a black heels.

* FINALLY *

.....I got an instant camera. Earlier this month I gave Nor an extremely early birthday prezzie (her birthday is in October by the way) and it was something she really wanted for her home, which is a vacuum cleaner. I granted her wish because I want to be remembered everytime she vacuums the house so in return she granted my wish today and handed over a pink Fujifilm Instax Mini 7S instant camera with two packs of films. When I was small, my friend who was a daughter of state's Chief Minister got an instant camera. I personally found it was cool to have one so I have been dreaming of owning an instant camera since then and finally got one after more than 20 years! Thank you BFF for making my dream comes true. Love it to bits and we should better learn how to camwhore better. Lol.

Check here if you're interested to own an Instax and its accessories too ;-)

:: crazy about corsage ::

Previously I have shared about my craft projects that are made of felt fabric. From this pompom felt flower which then turned into a colour block bib necklace to this 'garden of roses' bib necklace, they were all handmade with love and passion.

It was already midnight when I chose my outfit for last week's casual Friday. Ady was already asleep so I had a quiet me-time while hubby was busy with his computer. I really wanted to wear the white strappy high heels I got from a colleague last month and to match it, I chose an old tube dress to be worn with a slim fit jeans. Since I will be wearing black shawl and black inner, I felt like wearing something to enhance the outfit. Somehow I got an idea to make a corsage that could complement my dress so there I was sitting on the couch in the middle of the night to produce this:

Fuschia slanted pompom felt corsage

...and a pic of yours truly wearing it :-)

Actually that was not my first felt corsage because few weeks ago I made and wore these 3 red roses to enhance my monochrome (white & grey) outfit:

Wore a pink felt rose yesterday to match my pink & grey outfit too but didn't snap a pic. However it doesn't stop there because later in the evening I made more pink felt roses at parents-in-law's crib while fetching Ady and waiting for hubby to arrive.  

Got to go now so that's all for today from this crazy-about-corsage lady. See you in the next blog post. Taraaaa...!

:: 9 months ::

This is the first ever pic of my baby when he was 12 weeks in my womb.

 

I carried him for 38 weeks before we welcomed him into this world on 17 June 2011.

It has been 9 months. Watching him growing is another wonderful experience for us and no word could describe how grateful we are for having such adorable sweetheart who cherish our life every single day. 

Haven't share his milestones for few months already but as at today, Ady could:

- Sits on his own without support. He now sits in baby high chair when we dine out.

- Crawls to move around. He is like a mini tanker, crawls over anything including us.

- Stands while holding onto something.

- Passes item from one hand to another and purposely drop and pick the item.

- Speaks in baby language.

- Make the "want" gesture by holding up his 2 hands if I offer to carry him.

- Knocks his palms continuously on the table.

- Eat a large size (4 scoops) of KFC's mashed potato and a piece of roti canai.

p/s: Baby, we love you so much with all our heart.

:: glam bazaar ::

I had a not-very-productive-weekend. Not sure why but I was so sleepy on Saturday and Sunday... and it seems to continue until today. This is major Monday blues. My brain literally freeze since morning. Man, should I take supplements to boost my energy? I have a trail of to-do-list and it is very bad if I am stuck in this condition for days.

Anyway, let me share about this event called Glam Bazaar which I went with BFF: Fila & Rabby plus Rabby's student, Hana last two weekends ago, on Saturday 25 February 2012. It was held at this gorgeous bungalow named Adik Villa in Setiawangsa. So what is zis Glam Bazaar thing? Well it is a bazaar selling pre-loved clothings owned by famous local celebrities like Shaheizy Sam, Hans Isaac, Iqram Dinzly, Zahid AF, Faizal Tahir, Sari Yanti, Intan Ladyana, Fauziah Ghous and even Siti Nurhaliza. Not sure whether many people knew about it but when we arrived at 10 in the morning, the place was still serene. That was a good thing because we had the chance to browse and grab good pieces before many arrived.

These single photos are taken from Fila's FB (mohon izin ya buk Fila):

"Lelong lelong... murah murah!"

(Those jeans were owned by Sam and priced at as low as RM25)

Browsing through Sam's tops while carrying babyAdy who was asleep. The art of multitasking :-D

Myself with the beautiful lady, miss Fila

babyAdy strike a pose with aunty Fila. I love this pic!

Fila bought this cupcake from Enot. She also sold cookies and cakes that day. That's her phone number if you're interested. I love the cookies - crunchy and rich.

Enough with photos. After spending few hours in heat and humidity, I bought a Topman shirt pre-owned by Shaheizy Sam's at only RM25. According to the organizer, that is one of Sam's favourite shirt and now it is owned by my hubby :-D I also bought a maxi dress at only RM5 which was owned by someone who is not very famous but Rabby and Hana bought Sari Yanti's dress and few others. For your info, Fauziah Ghous is one of the organizer so she was in charge at the cashier counter that day and she is so pretty. It was an interesting event with good bargain and we look forward for another session next time.

Got to go now. Bye!

:: shop till u drop at mac cosmetics ::

Heyya peeps, I'm shopping inside this awesome retro supermarket...

 "Wanna join me?"

Colourful and chic - two words to describe the supermarket and also MAC Cosmetics Spring 2012 collection.

I am an avid user and a fan of MAC cosmetics. My first MAC product is the Studio Fix compact foundation and I have been using it until today since 7 years back. Last Monday MAC sent me a text message about their roadshow in Mid Valley on 7 till 11 March. As usual, Friday lunch time is the perfect time to go window shopping for us women. Lucky to work in Menara TM which is nearby Mid Valley, together with my BFF Nor we took the opportunity and checked out MAC's latest collection.

Back to Front / Left to Right:

* Kissable Lip Colour - Woo Me, So Vain, Enchantee, Flaunting It, So Delicious

* Lipstick - Innocence Beware!, Watch Me Simmer, Dish It Up, Quick Sizzle, Naughty Saute, Runaway Red

* Cremeblend Blusher: Florida, Optimistic Orange, Restores Dazzle!

* Quadraple Eyeshadow - Colour Added, Call Me Bubbles, Shop & Drop

Every season and each of MAC's makeup collection comes in theme. I never fail visiting MAC's roadshow for few years already and this season's theme has officially becomes my most favourite among all. As we arrived at the Centre Court, there was a supermarket complete with cashier counter, aisle and rows of colourful packed bottles, boxes and tins. The whole area looked chic and retro-ish so after a free makeover using MAC latest makeup collection, we did our own photoshoot inside that lovely supermarket.

"modelling for products" :-P

The spring collection offers fresh and colourful bright shades in line with the blooming season. For the makeover, I chose Optimistic Orange eye shadow but could not remember the lipstick shade (maybe Naughty Saute) while Nor had the Shop & Drop colours on her eyes, which she ended up buying it. Every purchase came with a lucky draw and Nor got herself a pink shopping bag. Other 2 items that can be won are household items that is actually related to the supermarket concept - a set of 4 dishwashing sponge and pink rubber glove. The cashier was very kind because he also gave each of us a 6ml Pro Eye Makeup Remover sample and a 6ml Strobe Cream sample, which according to him able to make skin glows while wearing makeup. Will definitely try them later.

Shop 'til you drop~!

This makeup collection is already available in all MAC stores but the supermarket thingy is only available at certain places during their roadshow. If you could not make it to Mid Valley, fret not because this lovely supermarket will come to KLCC on 19 to 25 March 2012. Don't forget your camera ;-)
