Bring it on

My break will officially start after I submit all my paperwork today! I am still waiting for my colleague to give me the green light to go and get everything printed though. But everything seems to be okay now.

I am just here, onlining and doing nonsense while I wait for my colleague. It is dangerous though cause I might end up shopping. =P Lots of things I need before CNY.

Since I am so free, I am going to list it all out:
1. Fix my hair
2. Contact lense (preferably with astig so that I can wear when I drive as well)
3. Pants/Bottoms (I have a few tops for my CNY but NO BOTTOMS =P)
4. Facial care products (cause I have been deprived of it FOREVER)
5. Inner wears
6. Shoes (except for my sport shoes, I have not gotten any shoes for a LONGGG LONGGGG time, I am not a shoegirl)

OK, that's about it. 6 things which will burn a big hole in my pocket. I might reconsider some cause I think if I get all 6, I will probably use up my whole month's salary, not very wise I would say.

Room that matters

The boyfriend and I talk a lot about our future like how we want our wedding to be like, how much money will we need for that to ever happen, where we want to stay, how many rooms do we need and how much will that be. And then we try to imagine how we are ever gonna save up that much before I became too old (note: I am a year older than the boyfriend but we sometimes make it seems like I am 10years older).

So for him, it has always been the room and the living room. He needs a place to fall back and relax when he comes back from work (in future) and his pick of the rooms that matter will be either the room or the living room.

I, on the other hand, covet the beautiful and big kitchens that I've seen on Pinterest, television and now Tammy's after reading her blog. Knowing that our budget will not allow for that to happen (at least in the next few years), I am not too greedy. I may not get as big a kitchen as those I coveted but I am willing to take a small one and make it werk.

I typed wrongly and typed kithen instead of kitchen in Pinterest and got quite some interesting finds. =P There are clumsy people out there.

Anyways, I have always dreamt of a kitchen with huge oven, lots of working top for me to chop and do other tv-shows-chef-like stunt and also lots of storage space. Trust me, to have lots of working top, you need lots of storage space. And I also covet for a pantry. I need a pantry! Cause it's so cool to know that you can prepare enough food for the next few weeks should there be a need for it or that you can whipped up good stuff for unexpected guests! (I know, too much cooking shows)

These two may not have a lot of storage space but I think these will work in small apartments' space in Penang right? In fact the few that I have below are workable for Penang houses/apartments too except maybe I have to make some stairs to reach the storage in the picture below and think of how to keep the lizards away.

This blogpost will remind me of my dream for my kitchen once I get a house. And then maybe I can compare what I have and what I have been wanting to have. And I truly believe that God will give me my dream kitchen and dream house when the time is right. I don't mind much about rooms, but I must have a beautiful kitchen. And a small nook for me to read and do my personal stuff.

And the boyfriend has promised me that. =P
 

Birthday Wish List

So basically it's the time of the year again where I grow another year older. I used to post up my wish list so that it makes everybody's job easier and I get what I need/want instead of getting people to buy things that I may not need or want.

Then I kinda stopped because it makes me feel like I am very buay paiseh and thick-skin to actually imply to people to get me stuff. Then this year, my friends (casually) asked me what I want for my birthday since we were settling some debts over other friends' presents. And I decided that I am old enough to choose sensible (actually not la hahaha) presents. So here goes.

1. A pretty Thermos mug (from Starbucks but I've found a giver).
2. A few bags that I casually stumble upon but may not be a suitable bag since I am venturing into my working adult phase. But here goes

RM60/bag

RM70 for the sling one

All these bags can be purchased from You, Me and Shoes.

I also found some bags from Bonita (Queensbay ground floor) to be nice. But they are not for working adults, no?

Actually I only got two things for the time being. I will think of more!!! Need to be quick about it though. Birthday is in 11 days!!! Super old, super fast.


ps: You can buy me a more sensible working adult bag too cause none of my bags now show ANY signs of me becoming a working adult.

Thermos Mug

Is it just me or did you notice that Hanna, her mum and Mona brings coffee in pretty thermos mug to work/school? I've spotted some other students who brought as well. Tempted to get one myself cause it's super environmental friendly, it's pretty, and I can swap coffee with hot honey lemon or milo or something. I don't take coffee.

And I wanna source one for Daniel too.. But I have to source them locally cause I don't wanna get something from some dodgy website =P Gonna start sourcing. Can't wait to get my hands on a pretty pink + blue + green one. Don't mind peach colour too!

some of the thermos mug I found online. So hard to find those that are nicer!!!! Nevermind, I shall persevere!
