did you catch this?

i'll be the first to admit that my relationship with my parents is far from perfect. we don't always see eye to eye. i'm not the most obedient of children & yes sometimes i get into a shouting match with my mom.

but here's something to read & reflect on:

thanks mumsie & daddy-o,

for being there for me even when i say or do things that hurt your feelings.

love you & God bless.

i so emo today hor?

monday laffs

becoming who we're not really

for many many years now, my hair has been colored. some people i know have never even seen my original hair color until recently. this includes the husband :-).
of course it's not like this is something that we talk about so seriously lah.

i havent dyed my hair in about a year now i.e. ever since i got pregnant of course. & even after i delivered, i refrained because i was breastfeeding. i'm not sure if it affects breastfeeding or not but i just wanted to be on the safe side lah. now that i've stopped breastfeeding, i guess it's ok to dye it (except i'm still a bit apprehensive cos takut my son rub his face against my hair or something --paranoid huh?). so i'm gonna do it maybe tonight cos i want to have new hair for the wedding we're attending tomorrow.

i got myself a box of garnier nutrisse hair coloring in brown.
in fact its golden copper brown like this.

please note that thats not me ya although my hair cut is short now. & ya, she also got chinese eyes but i think she got better cheekbones leh. sebab tu dia model & im not. :-p

i hope i dont turn blonde hehehe... takut plak nampak macam those japanese girls with blonde hair hor?

my original hair color is black (duhhh...). it is SO black that people have been asking me if i dyed it black (plus of course they've never seen my original color mah). haha... my mil even said that i look like i'm wearing a wig. gilos ke apa... so farnee.

ok then...

see you next week with my new hair.

LBD compliments from the husband

oops.

i did it again.

i bought a dress.

and...

it's a black dress.

such a shopaholic.

and...

still a goth.

but it's a toga / one-shoulder style dress which i've been looking for quite a while.

well, it'll go quite well with my red shoes + red clutch purse.

although...

i'm not sure why i'd need a clutch purse when i'll have my hands full with a baby.

oh well...

i CAN still try to be vogue cant i?

theres always the husband to carry him.

but then that leaves me with the diaper bag?

baby or bag??

i think baby will make a nicer accessory for me hihihi...

hope i wont stumble in my killer heels though.

not only will i look foolish in my lovely black dress + red shoes, etha*n will start crying.

but the dress was a steal at rm159 from egg bangsar.

it's an even bigger steal cos i got the husband to pay for it.

:-D

i'm gonna wear the dress for my brother's wedding at the end of the month.

but i'll take it for a pilot run this weekend at a another wedding.

double :-D

preparing for christmas

my christmas decorations are down (from up above the closet that is). they're just lying about in the dining area. so tonight, me & my ball are gonna do some decorating. i hope he'll be content in his bouncy-net so i can do my work.

this is one tradition of my husband's family which i quite like: they put out a nativity set to recreate the scene from Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, the child in a manger scene or sometimes just the baby Jesus in a crib. i have a couple of loose pieces of the nativity set which the husband's aunt gave us but since shes not a favourite aunt of mine these days, i might just go buy a new set which has all the pieces attached to the base of the set which is easier cos i dont have to think of how to susun the different pieces right. hmm... i saw one in hartamas for about rm50 which is not bad really. but kan, i see first lah. since we're not gonna be around this christmas, maybe i'll just put up the basic decorations only i.e. tree, stockings + wreath on the front door.

i've started dumping things into my small suitcase just so i'll have everything in there by the time i have to really get down to packing seriously. by then all i have to do is "streamline" my packing. that reminds me, i have to ask my mil for a bigger suitcase to pinjam.

i got myself some footwear "necessary" for my trip back to sabah in december. hehehe... i gots myself a pair of gold sandals, a pair of flats & a pair of killer red heels. please let me justify my shopping -- the gold flat sandals are for casual jalan2 yang not so serious, the black flats are for some serious casual wear and the red heels are for christmas. now i just need a pair of black heels for formal occasions. or i suppose i could rummage through my shoe cabinet & see what i have. however, i just threw out 3 pairs of shoes cos although they're not fully used, they've been in the closet for sooo long, theyre disintegrating. tsk tsk...

this year i'm not buying any dresses although i have a couple of functions to attend (christmas, brother's wedding, family reunion dinner, new year's dinner). instead i'm recycling my old dresses. after all since this year we'll be in sabah, i dont think my sabahan friends have seen all my dresses here ma. actually for my family reunion, i only have to don on a green shirt hehehe... a baby tee also can. so for that i think i'll just pair it with jeans.

speaking of jeans, i can now fit into my pre-pregnancy levi's jeans. whoopee!! of course still got the muffin top syndrome lah, you know, the love handles jiggling out of the sides like that. but at least i can zip & button it up hehehe... so thats gonna go into my suitcase too. tengok2 makan banyak sangat during the festivities till cannot fit again. oh well. i can always save it for next year. IF i can lose the weight again that is.

this year, my christmas gifts arent so happening lah. we're just buying gifts for the kiddies. the oldies, sorry lah ya. no money lah friend :-(. kan this year we had etha*n. thats the other thing i have to do before i leave for sabah i.e. gift-wrapping. the husband & i got each other early christmas gifts so you know what i'm gonna do? hehehe... i'm gonna wrap the boxes only (hp for me & tennis shoes for him) & place them under the tree. told you we dont have money this year!! can't exactly get another gift for each other right if you got no money hehehe.

now we're still deciding what to get for etha*n. you know i saw this lovely tuxedo romper at the curve for rm118. mahal kan?? we MIGHT get it though & make him wear it for a few occassions to make it worth our investment. it even comes with a red bowtie lah... how cute is that?? then as i was browsing the net i saw a 5-piece tux for rm69.90 so thats another option although i think a 5-piece would be over-the-top no?
