fact

Have you ever felt as though what ever you seem to do always turns out to be wrong in someone else’s eyes. Well lately that’s been just the thing happening around me.

Three weeks ago I was in an accident, where my husband was sitting in the passenger seat and my parent at the back seat. Yes, I was driving. In short, I stepped on my emergency brake cause this arse you call a truck driver just swerved in front of me in the right lane just to overtake a slower truck in front of him from the left lane. And as you can imagine things got messy from there. My husband was badly injured, where as I was trying to hold myself together to be strong for him. Even though all I wanted to do was cry. Anyways, my husband is still alive and I want to thank God for that.

But since the accident, I’ve been trying to get myself confident again about driving. Cause every time I sit in the car, all I seem to be imagining is the incident that happen the few weeks back.

And today would be the first day I drove myself to work. On the way, I guess God wanted to test me again. Right in front of me a trailer truck swerved and turned a corner right in front of me. I braked but apparently according to my dad who was sitting beside me that I didn’t stop early enough. So all I did was kept my mouth shut and my head focused. And I guess even that wasn’t enough, cause he kept reminding me over and over and all I wanted to do was cry. Ugh!

On the way back from work, another trial from God. As another trailer truck came in from a junction onto the main road where I was going straight on the left lane. I don’t know why but it’s either that I am attracted to merging trucks or are they just a pain and are attracted to me. So I braked and again according to my dad I didn’t brake early enough and he started whining at how careless I drove.

I don’t know how this is helping me get the confidence to start driving again. I feel as though I can’t be bothered driving anymore. So I told my husband I think I might just catch the public transport from now on’s. You want to know what he replied? He said, “Your so egoistic!”.

Hence this entry, asking you, other bloggers and readers, what your take on this is.

Should I ?
A. Stay calm, listen to them whine and whinge about my driving till my confident is boosted back up.
B. Tell them to shut up. The accident that happen three weeks ago wasn’t any of my fault.
C. Just catch the public transportation to work.
D. Put my EGO in a safe keeping box.

Please leave your answers in the comment box. I’d really appreciate to hear your input.

hump day: haul #one

My first HAUL!! I have never done a haul before. I really should be doing like a video entry for this, but I’m way too shy for that. Anyways, its HUMP DAY!! Get excited and put on some Bangrah! And since I’m all excited let’s get started!

Instead of going furniture and storage shopping, beau and I made our way to Times Square where we did some other kind of shopping. Yes we went splurge shopping! Why does that amaze you? No it doesn’t. Oh Okay!

Item One: Stud Shoes

Out of the million that were on display, I couldn’t get my eyes off this pair. Don’t ask me why. Well, maybe because they were unique? And maybe because I didn’t find anything similar to this in the other million shoe store at Times Square.

When I wear them, they make me look like ‘I’m HIGH on Rock and Roll’.

The inner lining has the most comfortable and softest suede leopard print.

Item Two: MAC Brushes.

Oh yeah.. Firstly let me just say, I am in love with MAC. Maybe because every time I end up watching a makeup tutorial on youtube. They’d be all using the MAC brushes. So to update the collection I have going, I bought me three more!! Yeah!

MAC 213 – Fluff Brush

MAC 224 – Tapered Blending Brush

MAC 249 – Large Shader Brush

Disclaimer: Photos of the brushes are from Google Image search.

So thats what I ended up buying over the weekend. I have other stuff, but its not worthy of blogging. Reason being I bought too much clothes when I shouldn’t have. And has now no space to put all these cause my storage system isn’t complete.

Boo to myself for not prioritizing the important from the zit. But I couldn’t help myself but too sweetly indulge in the glorious gifts my husband bought for me! Boy, do I love him!

Till my next post, have a beautiful Wednesday!

Dilemma #2: Too much things, way too little space.

If you read my previous post, you would know that beau moved into my ‘smaller’ apartment. Best decision made, until we both realized he had way too much things than me! No joke.

After unpacking a few boxes, we gave up. We both came to a realization that there wasn’t enough room. And came to a conclusion that a reorganizing, reordering and some renovating needed to be done! Yeah, that means furniture shopping. Yahoo!

We have decided on a few clutter-less designs for our bedroom and found some awesome furniture pieces to add when we’ve made space of course.

#1 Wardrobe: I didn’t even realize I had so much clothing. Note to self; must sort out wants and don’t wants. Anyways back to my sub section, I so want a walk-in just like Sarah Jessica Parker’s from Sex and the City or something like this.

Or this:

But despite all the magnificent, I will settle with the below. Its a space saver and a clutter-less solution to my ‘smaller apartment’ wardrobe problem.

#2 Storage: I came across a few storage ideas for my desk, shelving and cosmetic section. Oh and not to forget my husbands keepsakes can all be hidden in these. I think it would look awesome in my our room. Especially a set of drawers like so, I have only 1 set of these. The 5 piece wooden box drawer from Ikea and I’m thinking about purchasing the 9 piece drawer set.

I’m thinking of decorating my wooden storage box just like the above. Will have to shop for some design papers though.

Don’t you just love having sunlight shine through your windows, I know I do. That is the reason why I love the below picture, the fade in color from the chest of drawers and the photo kaleidoscope on the wall is very intriguing. And there’s enough storage for both our socks!

I so badly want the wall which my desk stands upon to look like this. Use and reuse I say. I have a few cork boards that I can mesh together to get this look. I’d say it won’t be 100% like the picture, but its worth a shot.

There’s just way too many designs I love. It will be so hard to choose from, so I might just mix and match.

Big weekend coming up! With all this idea’s on the plate, I wouldn’t mind seeing it coming along!

Results: Dilemma #2 – PENDING!

as simple as building blocks

Dilemma #1: Whose house, do we call HOME?

Marriage is a bliss till you come to having to do a list of “Pro’s and Con’s”. For the pass three weeks, beau and I have been contemplating on whose place we should officially move into. No we did not argue with each other about this issue. We were both giving in to each other, saying it was okay either way. A week passed and we still hadn’t made any decisions. So this resulted in our “Pro’s and Con’s” list.

After careful consideration, the verdict of that list was that I won! Not like it was a challenge or something.

Now, moving into a smaller apartment from an actual house, was the part we left out of our “Pro’s and Con’s” list. We both now bare the stress of double up items in one petite place, we now call HOME.

Lucky for us, beau’s mate the real estate agent, signed a tenant to rent out beau’s house just a week after it was advertise. Fully furnished, 10 minutes away from the city, close to amenities and also the rent went for six times more than what I pay for mine! Crikey! Mind you, my place is in the suburbs and about a good half hour away.

Results: Dilemma #1 – CASE CLOSE

married life

As of today, it’s been a month I’ve been married. And its also been a month since I’ve posted anything. Sorry.

I didn’t realize how crazy busy I’d be with the whole wedding preparation and mind set! But it’s all done and I’m so pleased with the outcome.

I ended up having card memo’s pin boards as my guest book. And was extremely happy that many did fill the cards out. Loved all the wonderful messages that were given.

Everyone enjoyed the food, music, dance presentation and the deco! I’m so pleased with myself! And gave a pat on my back.

Now being married for a month, I haven’t felt like a wife yet. Maybe as were both in our honeymoon stage.

I’ll post more updates now that I’m more free to do so. Till the next entry, have a pleasant week! (:

a quick update

Logged onto my email account too check out if I’d receive any goofy emails lately. Nope. Nothing. Such a shocker. But then again, chain letters need to be forwarded in order to be able to receive. Just that I’ve been too busy to be forwarding lately.

So too sum up my February, since we only have a week left.

1. Dad was admitted into Hospital – Due to high blood pressure. He had a fit in the ambulance. And now is too diagnose with epilepsy.
2. Wedding Invitation Cards – Need to be distributed. There are 500 prints, so far I have distributed about 250 cards. Half too go!
3. One Man Show – Now that my dad isn’t that well. I am now the boss an decision maker. I also run around like a mad woman fixing up appointments with clients.
4. Wedding Preparation – Is now 80% complete. Just need to tie up a few loose strings.
5. Weather – It has been humid here in Kuala Lumpur. And my A/C decided to blow on me. Like serious, BOOM! Sparks came out from the wall socket. Scared the shit out of me!

This is all I can think of for the moment. Will update more, when I get my head out the bag.

who sits where

I’m having so much fun, planning for my own wedding. Needless to say there have been a few or plenty of hurdles I had to jump over, but I am now too remain calm and collected and hope for the best.

My wedding is in March, and I just got approval for reservations of the hall I’m having my reception at. And now I’m panicking, cause I have to come up with a floor plan to provide both my caterer and emcee. All this by tomorrow afternoon.

I am so grateful for internet. Started googling for floor plans/seating arrangement tools I could use to speed up this process. Found one site, which provided me all that in 1, http://www.seatingarrangement.com

Also its great cause once you’ve laid out the floor plan. You can just go ahead and enter in the seating arrangements for your guest.

Ba-da-Bing! All done. Time to relax. Soon to be brides, shall not stress!

the new year

Happy New Years 2011.

Yes,  I know I’m eleven days late too greet and wish everyone a wonderful year. But its better late then never.

2011 Resolutions

• Be More Organized; Could I be any more lazy to remind myself to be a neat freak.

• Get Married; I do! Promise to be the bossiest bride and wife to my wonderful soon to be husband. I can’t believe I’m getting married in less than two months.

• Travel; I will not travel to Singapore more than 15 times this year. My passport pages have been filled up with stamps on entries and exits to that Lioness Country. I will travel to other asian and european countries this year. Even if it just may be for a transit.

• Shop More, Spend Less; Wherever and whenever  I see the four letter sign ‘SALE’, that will be the ONLY store I enter. Unless its household goods.

• Credit Card Crunch; Snip 2 of my credit cards in half and keep the other 2, since they have a much larger credit limit!

• Cook, Bake, and Eat; I’ve got to brush myself on my culinary skills. Note to self, get a yummy cookbook.

• Start A Business; This year should be a good year to start my own part-time business. Not sure what kind of business I will start on, but I will have to start brainstorming.

• Keeping My Resolutions Short; So I can actually complete them.

 

the yellow cab

Laughter is the best medicine. Read on!!

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimetres from a shop window.

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, “Look mate, don’t ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!”

The passenger apologized and said, “I didn’t realize that a little tap would scare you so much.”

The driver replied, “Sorry, it’s not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver – I’ve been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years.”

december

Woke up today and pinched myself, cause I am amazed at how 2010 is almost over in like 31 days. And since my awakens I came up with this schemingly idea to blog about fashion. Not like you need another blog about clothes, make up, beauty products, shoes, hair care, etc, etc.. Or do you?

Any female friend of mine would say I’m crazy if I said I wasn’t going shopping this weekend, which I am, I must add. And at the same time of me doing my shopping here, I decided to hook up with some shopping treats as well. I’ve created a new page tab ‘Online Store’ where I’ll be selling items of new and used, vintage, shoes, beauty products, crafts, kawaii stuff, my own designs, etc, etc..

But at this stage my store is ‘Under Construction’ if you hadn’t happen to know already. I’m doing some homework on ‘terms and conditions’ I should release before anyone starts snitching me up with the fashion police.

Oh, just so you know, I will be posting items tonight. Keep an eye! ♥
