Holidaying

Hi y'all! Hope you have a good week. I just came back from my Melbourne trip with my family & we had so much fun apart from the queuing, security checking and waiting at the airport ! I must say Melbourne is quite laid-back... totally not what I expected it to be! The people there are not fashionable at all?? I think even the ppl from China more fashionable than them.. haha.. that's just my own opinion.

Another thing I hate was the Indian taxi driver there! No words can describe their idiotic attitude!! Oh... another thing was that the restaurants there are just so-so! We didn't enjoy much on the food except our breakfast.

Hotel was great! Couldn't complain much apart from the bed is too small for the 3 of us. But they've got the sofa bed. So daddy was the head of the living room for a week! :P

What we enjoyed the most were the Melbourne Zoo, farm animal visit & gardens! Looking at our boy's smile is priceless!

Wonder where should we go for our next holiday? Hhmmm......

Pretty Buy

Hi there, it has been a very hectic but fulfilling weeks for me. It's crazy I know! How time flies.... now it's the end of June 2011!!! And I've not done much for myself??! Wish I could have a maid or cleaner to do the house chores for me! (>_<)

And I must say, dealing with an idiot staff is like drinking a poison.... they will kill you slowly if you are not straight enough with them! Talking about being friendly and kind... Ha! I think there's only one way or the other - either you are nice or fierce! No playing "friend-ly"!!! They will treat you like you are one of their friends !

Lately, I've made a few purchase which I find very refreshing & beautiful! Of course, it is useful as well... but most of all, who can resist such pretty things with such special price?!! :D Here are some of the things which I bought during my shopping lately:

1. Ikea Flundra dish drainer
2. Ikea Mata 4 piece eating set ~ this was actually bought by J boy's daddy ^^3. Ikea SKOJIG table lamp

4. LeSportsac Pouch - Yacht Dot print - Two zipped main compartments

2011 Wish List

Hmmm... I was just wondering what should I write on my blog today and suddenly I just realised that I haven't update my wish list for this year!!! Oh my, haven't I been busy all these while. Well, now is the perfect timing to do that :P I'll just update you one the TOP 3 items:

1. Rolex watch - it has been years since my dear hubby said he wanted to get me one and when he had the money he didn't buy me one?!?! >_<

2. A house of our own.. well, hubby said he is going to buy a house for us next year... but I wish that he could do it this year... :P

3. My long waited Chanel handbag!!! :'( and am still waiting to own one!!!

Hopefully, dear God is generous enough to grant my wish above. I promise to be good! :)

We are Three

Should have posted this on the 6th March but well u know what they said, better late then never... :) So, what is so special on that day??? It's not my birthday, not my hubby birthday and it's definitely not my wedding anniversary... IT's the day I start (writing) my own blog!!!!! :D

Couldn't believe that I still managed to maintain my blog (since March 6th, 2007) till today and I have to say that I'm still very much looking forward to writing many more stories about my new life with my baby!! :) Hopefully, I can find time writing all the memories down despite a hectic schedule with my baby.

So, happy birthday my dear blog! :) Thanks for being part of my life. (^_^)

My Shopaholic Day

Today was a BIG spending day for me.. :) This is what happened when you postpone all your purchases and wait till the very last min until you really, really, really need to use it... So today is that day... the time has come for me to make our final decision. It was a good feeling of finally becoming the master of your purchases. We have been discussing for months (in fact it has been a year!) of getting a camera bag and a useful yet good quality lens for our camera.

Nothing has been purchase for the past few months due to the price factor! hahaha... yeah, I'm quite price consious when come to BIG purchases like this cause I seldom spend more than 200 dollars in a day's purchase. So this is consider a BIG purchases for ME :) (D*** it to our weak currency!!!) And so happened also me and hubby went to watch a movie called Confession of a Shopaholic by Isla Fisher. The movie was so funny! Do watch if you are planning to for for a movie this week.

Well well... the first purchase of the day... *druming* I finally found the lense that I was looking for. My hubby bought me this super sharp Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens! :D Can't wait to take it out for my trip this weekend! :) Yeah, my hubby has planned to bring me to Japan again!!! :) Hopefully there's no rain this time.
