Happy & Lucky

Went shopping with my beloved today. We had an awesome time together, but i don't remember shopping ever being such a pain. 


You know why? Because we were finding a White Dress for the Elegance in White event in The Bed on the 17th. And do you know how difficult white dresses can be found? They were either too lacy, too loose, or too battered. I'd already given up after this exhaustive afternoon. We walked through Warisan Square and scaled Center Point from top to bottom. 
But i finally, finally found my white dress. Sigh and it is lovely


What i find in evening dresses with 'elegant' themes is of course, chic, and above all, sexy. And so i found it. Silk, Lycra, tight, short. And i thought white dresses were impossible! Ahh it is one baby! And it cost RM 47 from RM 49.90. At first, i didn't have any expectations when i brought it to the changing room, but when it was fitted around me, before i could even tie the silk ribbon around my waist, it was fantastic and i was ecstatic! I loved it there and then :)


But, there was another dress that came along. It was what i had initially returned on second thought to try on after unsuccessful window shopping in the rest of the floor. The dress totally breathed Elegance. I kid you not! It was sparkling, tight, and shapely. How could i have underestimated it earlier?
This baby was more expensive. RM 99.90. *silent scream* But we managed to bargain it down to RM 95. In total, RM 142 for two dresses. And they are so worth it. 

This is the elegant more expensive dress. The white area has glittering sparkles on it.


White dresses aren't everyone's ideal dress. Because, duh, it's white, and you know what that means.
And yes, i feel like a Chanel advert in this dress. :)





Thank you BABY! i can't repay you enough for all you've given me. And thanks for being such a good sport, pretending to like shopping with me, especially when you were having flu. I know how nerve-wrecking white dress shopping was for you, even for me it was. You said next time we custom make our clothes, but baby, to wear clothes is to experience a shopping spree first.


I was just so bored at home, that i had to get out. I needed to spend more quality time with Edgar too. Because the past few times we went out, they were all limited by time and we had to rush around and spoiled our moods. 


We had hi-tea in Secret Recipe. Initially, i was craving for Fish & Co but it was just too wallet damaging to pay for a simple tea time relief. 


So we had:

DURIAN CHEESECAKE!! You people would not even begin to imagine how absolutely delish this cake is! I could die eating it. Wonderfully rich and creamy, and the durian was strong!





Black Pepper Lamb pie. Yummers! Spicey and a little too peppery. 



Spicey Chicken Cornish. Yes, too spicey, but it was good! Crumbly, moist, and oh-so-warm.



With my betrothed, the zesty cheesecake.



My soldier boy and his loot.



My loves!!!



He didn't like the interruption by camera girl ;)


Ok, we did have a drink, which was called Tropical Smoothie. MM. But we were too hungry to take that picture. :D it tasted fabulous, banana, pineapple were the strong notes in the drink. 


Overall, 100% SATISFACTION with the food! 


Thank you honey, i had a great great time with you again!


Love.

kicking In

As the holiday sinks in, you think: hey, it does get routine and boring even more.


Been planning to apply for a part time job, but  don't know if circumstances will allow. My mum wants me to help her out when she's out at work, and she only finishes at 4pm, so a day time job is out of the question.


Why does everything always have to depend on others? If i go ahead and do my thing is it selfish? I want to do an internship. But perhaps only next year. When my brother is back, and at least there's someone at home. 


What i'm afraid of is: sinking into the holiday completely, and will end up with me all lazy and unkempt. Will end up doing nothing, lying around luxuriously allowing the time to slip through my fingers, even a good book can do this to me. 


That's why i need to keep active. 


And staying home doesn't help. Life is too slow, comfortable, peaceful. That i can't hear myself think, and my brain isn't functioning how it should. 


I try to keep myself busy by doing housework and cooking. Being a housewife is out a the question in the future. 
I don't see myself on that road. I need to get out!


Probably the most boring post ever. Will write more interesting ones next.
