Wishlist

I figured making a wish list would make me a step nearer to get them for real, not because it's Christmas or anything. Turns out, my wish list this time isn't long like always. Just several items that are somewhat impossible to get because most them are not available in Malaysia. So here goes..

On top of my list is of course, my dream phone, SideKick LX which cannot be found anywhere in Malaysia, or if you do know where to get this in Malaysia, do email me the details!

Getting a Sidekick might seem impossible, and if I won't ever get my hands on a Sidekick, I would go for a phone that can be found in Malaysia, hence my second choice for a phone since my current LG is giving me so much trouble. I swear I've thought about throwing it from the third floor! A white Blackberry Curve 8520 will suit me just fine :)
The second that's on my list is a boyfriend blazer. A tailored one is always preferred but if that costs too much, I wouldn't mind buying it straight from a store. A navy blue one with folded sleeves is always nice, or gray works for me too :)




The third on my list is something I wanted for 4 months but whenever I saved up money for it, I always ended up buying something else. Now that my Morgan Eau de toilette is finished, I need a new perfume to replace it. I surveyed and it's confirmed. I love Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy's smell!
Or if anyone is nice enough or you love me too much, I won't mind getting it with the whole set of lotions and stuffs :p

Next is a pair of black t-bar flats. I always wanted a pair of black flats but the ones from Rubi don't last very long. No wonder it's super cheap. And now that I know the existence of t-bar flats, I prefer these rather than just simple plain flats.

Next up on my list is a pair of black shoes too. Yes, it's THE Acne Atacoma lace up ankle boots! It's just too gorgeous, don't you think?



I think you'll get bored by the time I tell you what's next on my list because it's another pair of shoes. A pair of black suede Christian Louboutin's. It's a must for every girl to have one pair of plain black pumps in their wardrobe, right?

Okay, I promise not to bore you with anymore shoes. We are at the bottom of my list anyway. The last item on my list are basically just hair products, SO SEXY from Victoria Secret. I want their shampoo, conditioner, hair serum, detangler and straightening balm.




So there goes my wish list (for now). Just 7 items which mostly consists of shoes. To sum it all up :

1. New phone
2. Boyfriend Blazer
3. Viva La Juicy Perfume
4. Black T-bar flats
5. Acne Atacoma lace up ankle boots
6. Black Suede Louboutins
7. Victoria Secret's hair products

Oh, how I wish money grows on trees!

Prayers

I'm not a saint myself, nor am I extremely religious. I don't wear hijab around my head but I come from a family that take our prayers seriously. I still remember when my brother and I were little (way back when both my little sister and brother weren't born yet), my parents were so strict about praying 5 times a day, it's compulsory for us to go for Quran lessons at night and we started fasting at the age of 5. Even now, my parents are still strict about these things but mostly to my little sister and brother because my brother and I know better than to skip our daily prayers. We've become somewhat independent Muslims, thanks to the early lessons from our parents. I used to be a naughty girl where I always purposely stayed in the shower longer than I supposed to just so my brother will go to our night Quran lessons without me. I was lazy to go because we had to cycle ourselves in the dark alleys at the back of our house to the Ustazah's house and I hate this part so much because I had to cycle in my Baju Kurung and a long hijab around my head. There was this one time, my hijab was stuck at the bicycle's pedal. My brother took a few minutes to get it out and he had to tore it up to get it unstuck. The fact that Ustazah's house was so stuffy and hot made me even lazier. When my brother went to high school and stopped Quran lessons, Mom switched me to another Ustazah and this time I didn't dread. Because the Ustazah is fun and I didn't mind staying late just to complete my lessons every night. I learned how to pray from this Ustazah better than the one before and I learned pretty much everything I know now from this Ustazah.

Now, even if I don't go to Quran lessons anymore, I still remember how to read Jawi and I can write Jawi fine. I pray and I came to realise that pray is the only way to soothe you and if you really want to change to a better person, you should start by not missing your 5 daily prayers. I used to be so rebellious as a teenager and now I realised that the reason I became that person was because I always miss my daily prayers. I tend to do things that hurt my parents' feelings and things I know I'll regret later on in life. Thank God I have my family around me and Zahir to make me snap back to someone sane. I promised myself to change and not repeat whatever mistakes I did in the past and I'm glad I started with praying 5 times a day. I find it so life changing. And now whenever I make mistakes or feel so grumpy, it must be because I miss my prayers. When I pray, I feel so calm.

So you see, teenagers these days always roam outside and inside of clubs or have bottles of alcohol in their hands. I don't want to judge people but I'm just glad my parents and Allah love me and they always guide me to grow up as a good person. They taught me what's good and bad. Allah gave me a supportive and loving family, a guy that cares for me, a best friend that has been with me since we were 9 and enough necessities for me to live. Alhamdulillah, thanks to Allah, I'm living a comfortable life without me heading to a wrong direction in life. I may not wear a hijab, but I will come to my senses one day and I will cover my hair when my heart opens up to it and to me our daily prayers are the most crucial if you don't want to head to a wrong path in your life :)

Of black sandals and cars

See the sandals Kim is wearing? I've been searching high and low for that pair of sandals without burning my wallet too much. It's actually Givenchy and obviously, Givenchy is not the greatest store to look for just a pair of sandals. Unless Donald Trump is my dad, then that's a different story altogether. I always go for the much cheaper one, the normal brands like Topshop, Zara or MNG. I know sometimes the stuffs in those stores can be over-priced too, that's why I always search for the stuffs that are worth buying, or better yet, always shop during sales. I've stumbled upon a pair of gorgeous brown leather sandals in Topshop and I tried them on like 5 times in Sunway and another 5 times in Pavillion but I didn't buy it. All because Mommy didn't like it. She said it's ugly, so being a good daughter like I always am, I accepted her cruel criticism and continue searching for the perfect pair. I paid Charles&Keith several visits but still, no sandals that came as similar as the Givenchy's.



Then there's this one night, I was updating my Twitter, when my high school friend, Denise updated her Twitter with a photo link attached. I viewed it and it was a photo of her and her boyfriend and the sandals she was wearing caught my eyes straight away! I hesitated to ask but I figured, it's not wrong to ask, right? She was being all nice to me and told me she bought it at Vincci. I also asked her if she mind if I buy the same pair and I literally jumped up and down when she said she didn't. Because some people just don't like others to buy the same stuffs that they bought, like me :p I'm actually okay if that person is the one I'm friends with or some one I know. But it'll become something big and wrong when that person is someone I'm not in a good terms with. It will just make me angry or something. I mean, that's normal, right? Yeah... okay, so after she told me she bought it at Vincci and she said she won't mind if I buy them, I went to Sunway Pyramid's Vincci to check them out.

The ones from Vincci might not be exactly the same as the Givenchy's but it's nice and it's kind of similar (to my eyes at least). I went to see the sandals in Vincci, it looked nicer in real life and they're having Year End Sale right now, which is absolutely a plus because they have 20% on that pair. I quickly tried it on, in black and tan brown. The tan brown didn't look so good against my skin, so I went for the black instead. Asked for my size and of course, like always, they don't have it in my size anymore. Why are most Malaysian women/girls wears size 6 shoes? I asked the promoter to call other outlets in KL to reserve. After calling Midvalley, OU, The Curve and Ikano and they still didn't have them in my size, I'm about to give up and just buy the size 5 and I'll try to manage. Good thing I have my personal shopping assistant that day which is Zahir :) He insisted the promoter to keep calling the other outlets in KL, so I won't buy something which is a size smaller than my actual size. Thank God the promoter said they have it in Pavillion. If it weren't for the public, I'd jump in joy and might even hug the promoter! I told her to reserve it for me and that's the reason why I woke up so early today. Zahir accompanied me to Pavillion to pick that sandal up in the morning as to avoid the traffic. I went back with a big grin on my face. I'm a happy girl! :)

I know it's not the same as Kim's, so you don't have to rub it in my face. But it's so pretty and kind of similar to the one I've been searching for. I'm saving this pair for Bandung this Monday! :)

I'm not afraid of dentists

Starting from today. Yes, I've always been scared of dentists as a child because the thought of having your teeth being pulled out by them just hurts. At lunch today, after dropping Nina off at her piano class, Mom accompanied me to the dentist for my scaling. I was shaking when I entered the room. Turned out, it was not scary at all. I didn't die, I managed to go through it and I'm a proud girl :p Even the dentist was friendly. Now I can feel that my teeth are squeaky clean.

Don't be surprise if you see me on tv doing a Colgate's commercial!

Sing our lungs out!

Though Sunway Pyramid is literally like the second home to me, and probably to Dodo too, we decided to spend our whole day there today. Dodo and I were famished and decided to have our late lunch at Ayam Penyet. I used to hate Ayam Penyet but now it's the place I'd go if I ever crave for rice. Maybe because I used to be a pescetarian and there's nothing I can eat there. But now that I no longer ditch meats, I eat Ayam Penyet as much as I eat McDonald's fries. So anyway, we ate and Syida just drank as she claimed she just had lunch at home. We spent hours in the restaurant, talking like old times. Gossips just don't run from girls' mouths I guess. We went for karaoke instead of the movies and it was totally the right choice.

This was my first time to go to Amp Square and it was kind of nice. The interiors and buffet were similar to Red Box. But of course, the rate was a little bit cheaper than Red Box. However the sound system was not as good as Red Box's but it's acceptable, what with only RM10++ for anyone who has a student ID including 2 drinks. Two drinks that you can choose, with a wide range of soft drinks, fruit juices or various flavors of teas. They even gave us from 4pm to 7pm. It was so worth it but I was panting when our time was up. Must be all the high pitch singing and dancing on the sofa. We went for dessert after sweating ourselves in the karaoke room. I wanted Tutti Frutti but they're not a fan, so we went for Baskin Robbins! It was kind of upsetting when they didn't have my favorite, Choc Chip Cookie Dough but I settled with my second favorite, Quarterback Crunch.

See, we were just too happy!

You are unified

I know it wasn't like me to update posts with a lot of photos. But now that my Internet connection is no longer a pain in the ass(not at night too), I can post whatever I want. Obviously, my connection didn't just miraculously turn to a high speed wireless connection. It connects better now because of this thing called Unifi by TM.

I love whoever invented this brilliant thing. Not only my Internet connection is so speedy now, they also give you a cordless phone where you can call any house in Malaysia without being charged(except the monthly payment) and the best of all, I can watch a gazillion more channels on tv. Not that I'm a fan of tv, but still, I can watch Fashion TV where there will be fashion shows and runways. Despite the channels, you can also watch any movie or tv series doesn't matter English, Malay, Bollywood or Korean. All you have to do is just purchase the movie/tv series via your tv. A movie will costs you maximum of RM9 for 24 hours but tv series will costs you a little bit more since you must purchase one season by one season which will last for 30days until it expires. See, it's so much in one package. Like when you sign up for something and you get all the privileges.

Have I mentioned, I love the founder of Unifi?

Events

There are certain events that I didn't update on due to the lack of me logging in my blog. So I'm going to make up for it right now since I have nothing better to do.

Okay, first was the Max Pellicano as Elvis Presley charity dinner that happened in Sunway Hotel Resort and Spa. I wore the black lace dress my parents bought for me in Singapore. Despite the fact that they gave it almost a year ago, I've never worn it anywhere. Every time I had an occasion and planning to wear it, I always ended up buying another dress. So this time, I held myself back from buying other dresses though I was this close to buying one while I was accompanying my little sister to choose a dress for her. I did get myself a fake snake skin clutch from Mango Outlet though :) That night went great though I'm pretty sure my little sister, Nina, had the best time of her life as Elvis/Max came down to our table and went straight to Nina and held her hand while singing directly to her. He even kissed her cheeks and slipped a yellow satin scarf signed by Elvis/Max himself around Nina's neck. He might be old enough to be my dad, but he's just too dreamy. Since Dad bought one whole table, we decided to invite Zahir, Mom's aunt, her husband, her daughter and her son-in-law to complete the table.

Second was last Sunday. Remember I said that Zahir's Dad treated my little brother, Ipan and I to Sunway Lagoon? I was kind of excited because I've never went on any rides with the boyfriend. Yes, believe me, we've never been on any rides together. So, it was kind of an awesome experience to me. And probably to him too.


The rides were fun but the boys went to the wet park without me. Sadly I was having the time of the month, so I didn't get to throw myself in the water despite how bad I wanted to. Instead of braving myself to wear a tampon, I sat with Zahir's Mom and we talked. A really deep conversation that I've never had with anyone before. I was kind of nervous at first when his Mom started asking me questions but I got use to it somehow.

And guess what? We all chickened out when we saw the Pirate Ship swung 360 degrees. Okay, mostly I chickened out but they did too. So we just sat in the middle of the way and stared at those brave people who got onto the ride. We went to dinner at Chicken Rice Shop after that and Tutti Frutti for dessert!


Last Thursday Zahir, Ipan, Nina and I went out for karaoke at Red Box in Sunway. I was craving for karaoke, I don't know why. Went for Tutti Frutti after that and sadly my favorite Blueberry was replaced by Peach. That certainly didn't stop me from buying though as they still have Strawberry Banana which I usually combine with Blueberry. We went back after that because I felt bad for leaving Mom alone at home for long.

One night trip to Kuantan

Last Tuesday, my family and I went all the way to Kuantan for my little brother's interview with MRSM boarding school. Dad insisted on going with Mom and little brother, without Nina and I tagging along but we figured it would be boring to stay home without doing anything. So being stubborn as we are, we tagged along. Little did we know the whole trip would be so tiring. All we did was spent time in the car, tossed and turned, trying to find a good position to sleep without taking each other's spaces and we didn't know sitting in the car for hours can absorb so much energy.

I couldn't even find one decent photo of me in Kuantan in the camera because in all the photos, I looked either sleepy or exhausted. In which case, this photo falls under the latter. We had dinner at some seafood restaurant which tasted just okay. And we went to the beach to take photos but like I said, all the photos ended up the same. It rained after taking a few hideous photos, so we had to run to the car with muds all over my sandals. Not good.

We had breakfast at the hotel we stayed in the next morning. I had pancakes which tasted so good! Then off to another hour of uncomfortable-ness in the car as the boarding school is located somewhere in Pekan. We had to wait for my little brother in the hall and finally, achieved some pretty nice pictures. But of course, nice photos don't include my face in it.


I asked/forced Nina to take photos of my 'kind of' essentials : My watch, my fox ring and my brown Alexa. These become my favorites ever since I bought them :) Okay, I plead guilty for not listening to the talk that was happening at that time and took photos instead. The talk was boring and not like it had anything to do with me. So cut me some slacks :p

After the talk, we went straight back to Subang, had a quick early dinner at McDonald's and went back home. Everyone was so tired and we all went to bed as early as 8pm. That's how tired we were from spending hours in the car!
