ok la...cerita hari ini. today i went out to town with Sal. i have nothing in mind to buy. i just bought a new phone. [oh i owe one entry about the ultimate search..and pictures of Leman..] so i end up buying accessories.. like necklaces and bracelets. [haa...dah beli tu..sila la pakai ek.. jangan gantung je kat dinding tu..uhuk!! =P] i was soo dreadfully lazy to wake up this morning.. since i promise Sal to go out today..i got up anyway. it was alright in the morning. i could still see the sun tho it was FREEZING!!! until about 2pm it started to rain. takde la lebat pun..sikit jer..but both of us are with no hoody today. ingat kan nak la beli tshirt ke jeans ke sehelai.. satu pun tarak! its like in between seasons.. its end of winter [tho its still soo very COLD..] but not yet spring.. so baju winter dah abis..winter sale pun tarak. new spring/summer line is not yet out..and of course no sale what so ever.. ye la..baju takde, nak sale apa? huhuhu... hmm i thought of getting that cheap £5 beaded jeans..no size! i tried an embroidered jeans. but to no avail it was too low..way too low.. huhu..cun la that jeans. i wanted to get a black top but nothing in my interest. i wanted to buy a pair of flat shoe [like farah n julie..so comel!!] but i decided it doesnt look nice on me.. although i might change my mind in summer when it will be too hot to wear my adidas shoe. but by all means..i might just get a pair of sporty sandals for summer. tak mau dah jadi cam tahun lepas..went to class pakai selipar jepun! so in the end..we singgah kat TK MAXX.. while i was browsing through rails of ladies tops.. i saw Sal at the Jeans' rails...hmm.. lets take a look. i like this one jeans but it was too expensive.. £27! huhu... then fitting room. try nyer sampai 7-8 pasang... belinyer satu jer! dah tak larat dah nak jalan.. lagi pun dah petang.. so we went home.. and on the way back..it SNOWED!! ya...cepat2 sapa nak makan ais kepal..bawak sirap cepat!!!

funny ya. anything -clothes, accesories, shoes, and anything of the same category -below £7 is considered cheap. be it designer or not. but anything beyond that is expensive. sronok shopping ngan Sal..jimat duit..sbb walaupun baju tu lawa, but if its expensive she will opt to put it down. but if its up to me.. angkut je mana berkenan! hehe.. ohhh cant afford it anymore!! arghh...

so that is today's story...and tomorrow's story is...

i am going away again this weekend. im spending this weekend in london AGAIN.. i love LONDON sooo much. i love the tube.. i love the double decker bus.. i love the street light at night. i totally love all the halal shops!! Chopstick -selling halal chinese cuisine.. or PFC- closest thing to KFC u can get.. hmm last september, while me and sophie was in London, we bought some some chicken liver.. nyum nyum..balik tu kitaorg goreng pedas ngan celery..uisk!! sedapnya!! erk...tetiba rindu kat hati ayam yg wan lanchang slalu buat sebelum aku fly dulu... T_T

im hopping to go to Cardiff again.. jom la pegi Cardiff... nak gi Edinburgh jauh sangat.. tak mampu! erk..poor Faizan..he didnt get to go to Edinburgh this weekend. caught in mixed up tickets. so sorry to hear that dude!! next time la. ishh best oo Edinburgh! sangat best!! and to Azeem who is going to Alabama,US [study-related trip] tomorrow...take care! have a safe journey! jangan lupa pressie untuk kitaorg ek!! in conjunction with that... Marjon tak mau antar aku pegi trip mana2 ke?? in relation to my study?? Spain ke..Italy ke..Swiss ke?? nada?? tarak?? aiyark..... huhuhu....

ok la..i got to pack for tomorrow. we are leaving damn early in the morning. 6.30am! and it snowed today... freezing cold out there.. i bet it freeze even more in London..plus its going to snow and shower all day tomorrow and the rest of the weekend[hmm...kenapa la nak pegi jugak??cam tak cukup hujan jer kat plymouth ni???] so i have to wrap up and bring my shower proof hoody along... and i shall be back on Sunday night..

take care..and stay warm!! uhuk..T_T

new born: LEMAN..=D

hehe..CONGRATULATION and CELEBRATION to the new born LEMAN...

Leman was born apporximately at 10.30am today.. and lucky Leman was born on a bright sunny day! what a lovely day today. opps terlari topik plak...anyway, after adjusting and altering here, there and everywhere..[that includes cutting his head off and was stick back together with loads of celotape..i mean LOADS...] it really2 does look like errr....what it suppose to look like! and blame his current guardian..LEMAN now is only 40% of its original size.. poor LEMAN.. huhu. it took me and his guardian more than 3hours to perfecting his size and cut...so when i have to make another 4 of Leman's brothers, it would be easier for me. too bad i dont have Leman's picture when he was first born..i mean when he was 60% bigger than what he is now. =P he was alot taller..his neck was longer..[jinjang sungguh tengkuk mu leman...uhuk] now he looks like tak cukup makan u know.. hehehe... blame his guardian ..ish ish ish...=P

although Leman doesnt look his best...and i intended to leave him as that..he will be the one i definately will love..hehehe =D unlike his soon to be born brothers..he will not be used other than practice purposes.. dont feel bad Leman.. we still love u the most..

Now..Leman is under his guardian's care.. hehe.. do take care of my beloved LEMAN ya.. jangan ganas2 tau...patah plak tengkuk dia nanti....ehek...=P

p/s gambar menyusul kemudian...huhu..photgrapher tak mau release gambo katanya....

1. the perfect bagpack
-bought before i went away for my winter holiday. found a great bargain in Sports World. waaayyy below my budget.. £27 for royal blue Karrimor 85l.. cun gila! it looks exactly like the Deuter Futura 42 i wanted to buy, only alot bigger! puas ati gila arr...

2. the perfect winter coat
-bought off ebay.. hooch for £18 [well known brand in UK...mahal oo kalau kat kedai..jejak £90] the one exactly i want. perfect! warm enough for scotland! superb.. i bet it will last long enough till next winter..=D

3. new handphone
- CL 75 siemens poppy...was searching and looking.. and looking. and today i found the cheapest deal ever.. £70 in The Link. i have place my order...now we shall pray! pray that it is the perfect phone for me.. and the order get thru smoothly without problem and the phone shall be mine by next friday..

so my ultimate search will end as soon as the phone is in my hand and i shall write a post when it finally arrive!

skim mari menabung

yup! i still remember when i was small i had this tabung from BSN which everytime we put in money it sings. ohh i totally love it. i had quite a big saving when i was small which was largely thank to my primary school. every month we had to bank in at least RM1. so in order to compete and not to be left behind, i save up my duit belanja skolah. it reached thousands even before i finish year 6 and the money stays in the bank account until december 2002. here is my story.

june 2002- i enrolled in this course which require me to study in KL. i get some allowances monthly but not in the first 3 months. so mama gave me the permission to use my savings. the first time ever any sort of money taken out from that account. so at first, it was survival need- food. without realising i develop a habit of retail therapy. i dont know where on earth that this ever-so-expensive habit of impulsive shopping of mine come from. nearly 1k of my savings gone in a matter of months. and soon mama realise about this. without further delay..she took me to the bank before i start my new term in Jan 2003. she took out the thousands from the account and put it in various amanah saham accounts. and that left me with less than RM200 in the account. ever since that i live on my monthly allowances. which isnt that bad.. cos i still get to buy CLEO every month and i still get my weekly dosage of expensive-sinful-extra-moist-chocolate-cake along with my other favourite expensive indulgence. and bcos i only take meal twice a day [i skip lunch and take early dinner and breakfast is a must] it help in 2 ways- save a few bucks and help me loose weight [from that expensive-sinful-extra-moist-chocolate-cake and others..]. so i figured that one out.. i survive living in KL without ever running to mama for money... [ok la...ada la sekali dua..but that was like rm50 each time i asked!!].

and now...im in UK. u see things here is much more cheaper.. well.. dolar to dolar. just imagine, i get £260 in UK compare to RM 260 in KL every month. a 100ml bottle of Happy perfume by Clinique [which happens to be my favourite] cost only £20 on ebay £40 in high street shops and the same bottle cost more than RM 250 in Malaysia. if u convert £40 into RM..it would cost about the same and no doubt some things are much cheaper in Malaysia..for example Body Shop stuff [well if u convert..its wayyyyy much cheaper in Malaysia- thats why i wear clinique facial care instead of buying Body Shop stuff..ehek] but thats not the argument. what i would like to say is, if i didnt get the chance to study in the UK, i wouldnt possibly dare to even think of buying a big bottle of perfume [obviously i couldnt afford to buy one with that RM 260 allowances] and i had always use perfume for certain days only. i would never wear perfume if i only have 2 hours class.. i would only use my favourite Johnsons & Johnsons body spray [huhu..its has been discontinued.. tarak dah pas ni..] which is much cheaper. ok la...kita compare sardin la plak.. Sardine: one large tin cost 58p in ASDA.. while in malaysia, a big tin of Ayam Brand Sardine cost RM 2.50+ [dengar cerita harga barang naik lagi...]. sbb tu la kitaorg banyak makan sardine kat sini.. dah la sedap! murah plak tu..hehe. as u can see..with the same amount of money.. there is sooo much more i can buy here! so? the lesson for today is... i will never ever could afford this expensive luxury shopping ever again.. [brapa sangat la duit gaji aku nanti?? unless aku kawen ngan orang kaya la.. huhu] might as well enjoy the oppurtunity while i still can.. [T_T which i cant anymore...]

honestly, this post is really NOT to vanish all the guilt i have inside for having more than 10 bottles of perfume [and the promise i make to complete the Versace Jeans EDP collection which i already own 7], 3 Levis jeans, 7 [i gave one watch to sis] watches, and countless t-shirts [which was resulted from thinking not having enough shirts for summer] but really to remind me that i had my share of experiencing the best retail therapy ever. i never regret doing what i really love.. it was great..and like all great things it has to end.. so does this luxury shopping experience [exception given to under certain circumstances =p like that ZARA suit i want to own!!]. by the way, no matter what.. it will end in 10 months time when i finally get back home. so no more shopping... no more little luxury items.. no more perfume.. no more clinique stuff..no more designer jeans or tshirt.. no more all that for ONE reason.. EUROPE TRIP! it has to be a dream come true.. it must be a dream come true!

i want to tour around Spain too..but Europe tour is the ultimate goal! and how do i plan to make this come true?

SAVINGS. skim mari menabung. yea kawan2 mari kita menabung untuk shopping sakan gila kat europe nanti. i already put away £300 for that trip [i plan to put away another £100 by next week but i have to check my credit card balance first]. and so i need another £ 500.. do i plan to work part-time? NO! [i know someone will come up with the idea anyway..]. so any other idea? does someone wants to sponser this educational trip[lawatan sambil shopping belajar] of mine? haha... you wish! my main source now is my bro. he still owes me a few hundred £££.. i thought of keeping the money in Malaysia [so that i will be deadly rich when i get back] but if it happens to be i seriously desprately need the money.. i have to transfer it without mama knowing anything about it. hmm.. i am deadly serious about this.. seriously deadly serious... untill i will say.. I WANT TO GO TO EUROPE.. everytime i have the urge of having a little therapy.. T_T

*sigh.. another sad case....*
