these bags r actually from real animal skin like cow, goat & wad else i cant remember. they belong to an Indonesian fashion label. very classy & PRICEY. each of their items costs more den hundred ... RM. <+___+>

Spring again jus now. hMmm does dat make me their spokesperson already? ;-) was dae to meet up wif MeiNa (a.k.a. Banana) & WanYin (a.k.a. C Wan). i arrived earlier cos ... i wanna go MNG ... *cough cough*. okay ... n so i walked out wif a shirt & a skirt. eh ... i'll b wearin it for my convo bah. hehehe. stil long la i know ...

at 1st Banana & I sat down @ Kluang Station. after scannin tru d menu we both agreed dat they haf limited choices of drinks. we told d waiter we're waitin for a fren so not gonna order yet. we were dae ... sittin for free for like few mins den after C Wan sms-ed, sayin dat she's arrived, we walked out d cafe, leavin d waiter starin at us :D ... :X

at last we decided dat *bucks wud b a betta place for drink. time to gossip la of cos. both of dem will b leavin' on Sat ... back 2 KL for studies.

lately i've been havin OT @ work. plenty of las minute work for our BHR Padawan Nature Challenge. u shud have seen d adv in newspapers like Sin Chew. it came to my realization dat even tho my work piles up like a mountain, it doesnt matter as long as im happy workin wif my colleagues :-)

2day durin my lunch break, i went to check out a newly opened boutique jus behind my office. r dey nuts o wad?! their clothes ho ... r not branded or made of wad very gud quality materials & yet dey price their baju so expensive?! lemme tel u ... i tuk 4 pieces & try (for fun), i was shocked when i saw d price tag @ d fittin room. yesh! my mouth was wide opened ah.

1. a knee-length shorts (brandless stuff priced by brainless ppl): RM149.90 ( ha?! gila ... even MNG not dat exp)
2. printed tee (ok quality materialy only): RM99.90 (common la...u try to fool us isit?)
3. sum embroidered blouse: RM99.90 (-___-|||)

when i walked out of d fittin room, d salesgirl was holdin a dozen of clothes askin me to try. i reli prefer to shop without their salesgal tryin to promote dis & dat, buggin us lidat loh. aiyo.

k la. time to zzz & rest my brain.

shoppers shud hav known of MNG's great sales, am i right! =D i received their sms & on dat particular night i went wif cow. everything has been marked down & sum pieces r very reasonable. however i cud not make up my mind whether to buy certain items o not ... i went bac d next night =__= *ahem*

hav been eye-ing on dis cardigan for long. it was priced @ RM129! and durin d sales ... it was RM59. hehehehe. of cos i mus buy... mus :X

on d 2nd night, i bought a small sling bag. picture of it not found frm mng's site & im 2 lazy to reach out for my camera & snap a pic of it. hehe.

2 days later, i went bac Spring again. dis time wif my old fren - c wan. Spring mus hav cast a "love" spell on me. or else y im such a frequent visitor of theirs?! tel me tel me. c wan & i spent hours catching up wif our own stories.

while waitin for c wan to arrive, i headed to mng (again & again) once i stepped in2 d building. picked several pieces & lastly walk out d store empty handed. though i lurve 2 shop but i wun cincai buy even tho i oways feel like 'die-die must buy sth'.

as i walked pass esprit's store, their on-sale t shirt caught my eyes. i'm a tee person ma, wadever nice tee surely attracts me :P stil wonderin whether to buy dat piece cos its better i spend on workwear. i don like ransacking my wardrobe every mornin & end up nearly late for work. office wear if nice one expensive le u know. my wallet doest allow me to take dem home. besides, my company doest need us to wear dat formal also la. as long as smart & appropriate. who can introduce me nice boutiques? pls help ^3^

june's ending in few more days. half yr gone. wad hav u achieved?

very bz at work lately. preparing stuff for our upcoming events & ongoing tasks. dis time i'll bring u guys to tour around my office - 1st floor. however i only snapped photos around my desk area. there's another side behind d yellow wall which u cud c frm d pic below. ceo's room is d one @ d far end.

a shelf where we keep plenty of food as in we're goin to hibernate. *lol*

our pantry provides biscuits, coffee, tea, milk & milo. but we cant eat d same food/ snacks every day bah. there's instant noodle, milkybar, crispy & few snacks hidden in my shelf. hehehe.

me n Kel's fav place to go wud definitely b Taka, Expert Food Court & Jia Jia Kopitiam. we're very very well fed in dis area =___= ... gosh.

friday afternoon Angel drove 4 of us up till Borneo's foothill b4 we used a 4-wheel drive to reach d highland itself. on d way of course we stopped by to hav our late lunch @ padawan.

d weather was so cool up there. of course not as cold as Genting Highlands la but cool enuf to let yo mind, body & soul relax.

main entrance

a creative key holder. which directly reflects one of our highland's image - golf course.

dis is d room i stayed in all by myself, called d "gold room" altho i din c any gold in there.

luks so cozy & romantic wif d windows closed

few of us rode took buggies to tour around. we're all Kch Sales Office staff except d most petite lady Ramona. From left - Suriana, Irene, Angeline, Me, Ramona

i only have one pic taken durin d staff party in my camera. d rest r in Angel's camera.

nex day (Sat), Irene brought me around as Angel had to entertain sum guests.

rabbits living in a hut

dis blackie lives in d long cage, diff frm d hut. d cage is jus like our 'long house. hahaha

behind me - rabbit park + flower garden

these ducks were @ d swan lake. now there's no more swan left. all mati-ed. kesian!!!

d mist was pretty thick on early Saturday morning. i got up at 6 and half an hr later i walk around d place alone, where my other colleagues were still sleeping. it was so refreshing! how i lurve d weather.

i spent d las weekend @ Damai Puri, previously known as Damai Lagoon. It has became Damai Puri after d place was fully renovated. lazy to elaborate more ... wil jus put up few pics. hehe


spotted ~ a unique woven rattan ceiling fan - fits d resort theme so well!

this is d room dat 3 of us (angeline, candida & me) stayed in. flat screen tv sum more. Damai Puri has gone so high-tech & modernized. d bed was big but angeline requested for an extra bed.


we arrived in d late afternoon of Saturday cos we worked in d morning. only to depart frm home after 3. u mus haf thought we're crazy to go 2 a beach when d weather is already burning hot in town. haha. at least it's quite windy there. kuching is like a desert now T___T pls rain plssss...


from left: 5 mths pregnant Candida (a.k.a Candy), Angeline, & me

on d way to Damai we stopped by to shop for snacks, which include ice-cream, yogurt drink, jelly, biscuits, junk food & sum more which i couldnt remember. as soon as we reached our room, we quickly dig into d bag of food :P and laze on bed, watch tv till d temperature decreased abit b4 walkin along d beach.

we had buffet dinner @ d restaurant later dat evening. we were told it was RM58 ++ and it totaled up to RM70! so expensive. food tasted nice. its jus dat dey shud prepared more varieties. we're too hungry to eat so no pictures on food.

besides d 3 of us, our colleagues who went were Cecilia & Irene. dey brought along their family.

it was a pleasant break for us away frm work.

2day's d 3rd time i had OT at work. d printer takes quite long to finish its printing tasks. dats y i had to stay til after 5 b4 heading home. d head of my team stays til around 6 everyday and she said by d time she reaches home, she's like a stone already .. .STONE! haha too tired to do anytin... dats d meaning behind.

anyways, my colleagues had planned for a Damai Puri overnite stay dis weekend. its not part of our company's events. jus a break for us. and then next week would b our company's staff party, where we'll be going up d highlands and get to spend a nite dae! *yay!* im so excited. especially d resort has just renovated almost thoroughly. hehe

people whom i have lunch wif almost everyday r not jus colleagues to me. they're becoming my frens too. u know wad im tryin to say. its like in Uni, where sum ppl r jus yo classmates & not frens. heheheh.

days ago my family & i had brunch at After3 (owned by Banquet). It was packed with lots of ppl but it didnt take long for our food to be served. however, d food ... i would rate as 1 or 2 starts out of 5. geez. so lousy. d food r cold. "Char Siew Pao" was one of d food we ordered. We asked where's our food after waitin for so long. D waitress answered us in a rude tone " today dun haf Char Siew Pao". worse is dey included Char Siew Pao in d bill & luckily we checked before paying. it was only till d 3rd time dey managed to pass us d CORRECT bill! such experience ...

wil end dis entry here. gonna watch my all time fav series Desperate Housewives! never missed d show since season 1?!

night!
