When I got the email from Kate Spade last February, I went ooh and aah over the sneakers. Put it aside and totally forgot about it.  Today, I realised that ooh, I can actually use the sneakers for our year end holiday! I'm more of a feminine flats kinda girl, so buying a pair of sneakers , no matter how cute, has to be justified.  So, went online to find the shoes, and of course, it's sold out. #slapsforehead  Next time I see anything limited edition that I like, I'm just going to buy it.  #lessonlearnt

London, we're in love! Right now, I am missing London so much.  One year ago, I was in London for 3 months working.  4 months ago, I was in London for 2 weeks holidaying.  If only money grows on my backyard. 

So I did some living life tonight. Haha. Went to Me'nate Steakhouse in Ampang tonight. It's located at Jalan Kolam Air Lama Satu, on a row of shophouses next to 7-Eleven, if I remember correctly. This is my first time here. I heard about this place from my foodie uncles. They went here a couple of weeks ago, and whatsapp-ed me photos of what they were having. -____- The steak looked so so good. And since then, I've been wanting to try some. And since my mum didn't go with my uncles in the previous trip (only my sisters went), she was also very eager to try the wagyu. The photos my uncle sent.  So, off we went tonight. Okay, don't expect a fancy restaurant. It is really a simple restaurant with barely there aircond and no ambience. So, no need to dress up in your best pearls, like I did. Sister forgot to mention this. Pfft. But what they lacked in ambience, they make up in their steak. We ordered the wagyu tenderloin and grass-fed sirloin in medium well...

I was reading Ashley Ann's blog the other day and was amazed at the things that she does! She is really living life to the fullest. Doing the 'Color Run' with her second son, rearing chickens, growing a herb garden; all on top of taking care of FIVE YOUNG KIDS! I have NO kids, and I go home after work and slob on the couch/bed/chair watching tv/play on iPad/play on iMac. *shameonme* And with two basket-fulls of unfold laundry by the corner. *shakeshead* Sigh. I dont remember being this lazy before. And this has got to change.  I'm going to live life to the fullest from now on. And it's going to start tonight! Dinner with family at Menate for some wagyu beef. Now, that's living life. :p p/s will let you know if the place is worth going or not ok. Have a fulfilling weekend guys!!

How cute are these paper bows?  I am obsessed! Idea is from howaboutorange and she is too kind to provide a free printable template for these babies. So easy, this literally can be done 2 minutes!  I can imagine so many ways to style these bows, that if I sit and think of the possibilities, I would have just hyperventilate myself! :p You can do solid colours from all the colours of the rainbow, mix and match the colours, colour blocking (!!!!), pastel...... Cannot take the excitement!  And that's just colours! The possibilities are endless for this simple but versatile bows.  Go check out howaboutorange for the template and start bow-ing! :p

I stumbled upon this boutique last week, after my trip to Jakel. It's situated in between Jakel and Jakel Carpet, so you can't miss it.  I went in because of its all-white baroque decor. That grandeur intrigued me enough to go in. Browsed through the ready made kurungs and they are indeed beautiful. The workmanship looks admirable and the designs are up-to-date. I was attracted by the beadworks also, I noticed they use good quality beads, pearls and crystals and the workmanship looks great as well.  I did some research and saw their bridal wear and traditional wear online . Some, easily got into my favourite lists while there are a few that isn't my style.  I asked for their tailoring rate. The price starts from rm600 for tailoring only for kurungs without lining. *gulp* If you want lining, add another rm50. If you want those beautiful beadings, expect to pay rm1000. *gulp*gulp*  After spending so much money at Jakel, I didn't have the heart to sp...

What I didn't tell you in the previous post was that I bought some materials. Not for raya, but for..... hmm stock.  Haha. My pantry of kain deserves another post of its own, but oh another time!  Anyways, I bought some beautifulllll silk and chiffon materials that day. The colours, oh my, the colours!  From vibrant blue and greens to pastel yellow and pinks. I don't know how people get to keep their head calm in there.  So, I went in, alone , into my candy-land. Husband couldn't joined me because he had to judged a moot at UITM. An arrangement that both of us couldn't be more than happy about. He gets to sit out of "Sayang, which one is nicer?" questions and I get to shop without restriction. Haha.  I have been wanting to get my hands on some good quality silks for a while now. So, I went straight to the first floor where all the silks and chiffons are.  And about an hour and a half later, I came out with two paper bags. -___- I shal...
