Kampung Glam - revisit
at 11:12 AM Monday, January 31, 2011

with her bag full of cash! :)
oh, pardon the faces as we all got up at 3am
and without enough rest.

kampung glam - didnt feel so foreign to me
the only time we had time to think of posing for the camera
it must be ard 10am and shops were about to open
(only a dozen photographs captured on my camera!!!)

masjid sultan
in the vicinity of kampung glam
i'd say this is something like our central market
on both sides are shops that sell trinkets

masjid sultan - up close
the weather was good - cloudy with just enough sun
especially good for us who walks around
can you see my SIL shopping?

my SIL, the avid shopper
luckily she didnt finish all her dollars!
btw, we had super late lunch (at 530pm)
it was as if we were on liquid diet!

all in all, although tiring i think it was worth the trip
i think i managed to find all i had planned to buy there and didnt go over my budget
(pats own shoulder) and it was good to have someone accompany me on this trip!

barely a reflection of me

and so i was away on a two day training last week and i resumed work on friday morning only to find out dat im required to attend a dinner dat nite, yes, dat very friday nite! d whole day i was trying to figure out of a good excuse so i cud escape but to make it worse, i cant even reach my boss. so right after work i had to rush home but things cudnt get any worse coz d traffic was terrible dat day and by d time i got home it was already 645pm which means i only have 30mins to get ready for d dinner.

1st thing i did was run up to my room to find a dress i could fit into which isnt too flashy since its a corporate thingy and after trying like 4 dresses, i decided to wear my red n black modern kurung which ive worn only once to my cousin's wedding last year. i was busy chasing time i totally forgot bout d selendang but nvm. back to d dress, since d top is all lace, der wasnt much to iron only half of d sarong, part yg org x nmpak xyah iron bcoz i was rushing remember?! once i was done with d ironing, i hit d shower and before 10mins i was already out. to me it was rather funny because wen i got into my room i started putting on d things i see first - the earrings and watch before anything else. i managed a 5mins make-up then i changed into d dress and quickly sprayed some perfume before going down to do my hair. my hair? it was a trouble since it was tied up into a pony-tail d whole day n i dont even know how to make a bun out of it so i had to iron it straight but because i was busy ironing d front n side part of my hair, d back part was a bit of a mess and i only noticed it when i was already halfway driving to d hotel! damn it~

at around 726, my boss rang me up coz he was worried i wasnt gonna show up but i assured him i was gonna be der in 10mins because i was driving like hell-break-lose. in between driving i had to shift my things into my clutch from my satchel, and i managed to put on some lotion on my hands n feet. i bet i mustve looked like a mad woman doing all these while driving. thank God i arrived safe n sound.

it's actually the OSFAM's (Offshore Structure Fabricator Association Malaysia) annual dinner and since Sime is one of d fabricator and we are like a step brother to Sime, we managed to get a table on thursday, yes, a day before d event so dat explains d (VERY) short notice. d dinner was held at Hilton kl sentral and surprisingly traffic heading dat side on dat nite was quite smooth. after i got d car parked, i changed into a 4" stiletto which i bought for my cousin's dinner but i decided not to wear because i was playing host and had to walk around but dat nite since i was a guest, i decided to slip into dat killer shoes. half way through d lobby, i cud feel my feet aching but i had to walk as elegant as possible (bukan perasan elegant ok) although i was walking in pain.

by d time i got at d ballroom, d event was about to start and everyone was busy getting seated. our company table is near an exit but over looking d projection screen so d view was fine. wen i got at d table, there were two gentlemen from petronas PMU and later we were joined by wasi, zafri, naseem n saifful. after some award giving ceremony, dinner was served. it started with chinese appetizer including dim-sum n chicken boxing, then the main course was nasi bukhari with chicken, prawn, beef n vege dishes. before we were entertained by noryn aziz, dessert was served with a cup of coffee. d peanut butter pudding was scrumptious.

before i realized, it was already quarter past 11! walking back to d car was painful but i managed and when i got out of d building, i got stuck in brickfields and of all d time of d day, i chose to get lost in d city at midnite alone! damn it was scary and my hp's battery was running low. it was all a bit dramatic but i got home at 12plus too tired to think so i jumped straight into bed.

all in all, it was a good experience and exposure to the oil n gas industry. i dont think i'd mind going to events like this in d future but id really appreciate enough notice next time.

which one is nana?

today is nana's (farhana, my ex-housemate in shah alam) 25th birthday. *happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to nana, happy birthday to you!*. to nana, wishing you a beginning of wonderful years ahead, dont worry bout 'quarter life crisis' coz we're still young (nk sedapkan hati sendiri juga), and der are still lots to explore, Insyaallah....and many happy returns!

now nk kena rewind sket. over d weekend, it was another shopping spree for me, although i didnt actually get anything for myself, it was actually for father's day. jus a lil intro, my father plays badminton twice a week to keep fit, not d tournament kinda thing. so ive been planning since last month about what to buy him for father's day but one day he went out and found himself a nice pair of yonex shoes, maka rosak lah my plan. then i recapped his conversation with us about a nice bag his fren jus bought and so i found my plan B (badminton shoes was plan A). royal sporting house or its kind normally dont sell badminton stuff so i had to find a specialized shop downtown, luckily for me, it was quite easy.



d same bag lee chong wei (#1 male badminton player ranking in d world) uses for training


besides d bag, we also got him a matching yonex tshirt, wrist guard and ergo-socks (sume pun dh ergonomic skrg, but workstation kt office ni stil x ergonomic ~ hissh). father's day celebration was kept simple, so for lunch we had yellow cab pizza which was huge (imagine an 18" tire rim!).

now, rewinding further. last week on thurs i had another shopping spree, again not for myself. an office colleague just got a baby girl about a week ago or so, and since this is his 4th kid, we didnt bother asking wat he'd want becoz we assumed he already has all d necessities like cot, pram, walker, etc, etc. and so with d limited budget we had in hand and unlimited cute baby stuffs in d mall which made us (nadiah n i) crazy, we managed to fully utilize (exceed sket je budget tuhh) d money since d sale was still on.


my fave ~ isnt tis adorable? (bolster and pillow set)


d 3 boxes are hallmark range of bottles and food container, all are in pink, the one rolled and tied with a ribbon is a pair of pjs, and on top of d box is a baby's bonnet, and d one behind d boxes is d thermal bag for daddy to put d milk bottle and such



d pink thing tied to d pillow set is an "i love my big brother" bib, in front d rolled and tied with ribbons are 'monkey suit' and a dress respectively, and in d blue box is a batt operated fan for prams and far right are 2 pair of knitted socks


for d baby hamper, all stuffs were bought from isetan and parkson klcc. it was indeed challenging searching high and low for these stuffs becoz like ive mentioned earlier, our budget is very limited but dat doesnt mean we cant get nice things with it right? im no expert wen it comes to baby stuffs but it was no doubt fun. of course right after we were done choosing baby stuff, i had my round of retail theraphy which was of course 'funner'! after a long day at work, everybody could use a round of shopping rite?
