Anyway.. So sorry I forgot to tell you guys who was the winner for the contest the other day..

Though I still feel that I gave her harapan palsu when I emailed her, and tell her that she was the winner n I'll be sending the gift soon. huhuhuh. isk.. So sorry, gurl!
But...erm..nevermind.. I did tell her that I may delayed the date of the delivery.eheh)

Woman and Pink


I was excited when I saw Miu's post about the new Kotex packaging for the overnight extra long wing pads! The box is soo nice and cute with its pink & black polka dots! So since this is that time of the month, I decided to purchase one too! (And some other things as well!).
Everything is pink! haha. Oh, that pink small case from Bloom is for me to store my pads, pantiliners, tissues and baby wipes for me to put it in my handbag! hehe

The price for the Kotex pad is RM10.40 @ 16 pads Overnight Extra Long Wing- 32cm. It's so cute you know. It's something different. It's like a little drawer. And I can use it to store my pads the next time I purchase my regular pads with it's boring plastic packaging. hehe..

Go and get it now girls!! It's limited edition! =)

the Shoe Issue

Shoes.

Trendy or Practicality?



Ladies, do you wear shoes because you have to (to protect your feet!), or because it looks good on you?

These days it’s more of a question of style and preference, I think.

Well, I wear shoes because I want to compliment my outfit of the day..and match it with my purse! hehe.

Sometimes I wear really uncomfortable shoes just because they look good! I don't wear shoes because of its practicality. I wear painful shoes all the time! I wear stilettos day in and day out. haha. What can I say, beauty is pain! (Sometimes I even got bunions and blisters on my feet and still force them to walk! And as a result, Radzique has to bear with my complaints all day long! haha. Sometimes I wish high heels are made for men too, so that they'd understand how painful in can be! hehe)



I personally think that shoes should be every woman's number one accessory. It's just such a pleasure when looking down at your feet and seeing something fabulous!

Anyways, do you ladies prefer to wear flat shoes or high heels?




I am a very petite girl. So I would definitely prefer high heeled shoes as it lifts me up a bit and gives me a better posture when I'm walking, despite the undeniable affects to my backbone and posture later on..huhu =P
But without them, I really really feel short and dumpy!! So when I'm in my heels, I feel more confident cuz not only do they elongate my leg, but they also help pull a more polished look and make flattering effect on my calves!



My most favourite black heels of all! It's reaaaallly comfy, I tell you! Seriously! I wear this one practically everywhere!! It's from Eclipse,btw. Oh, and that's my sister's foot over there! hehe =)




Those extra inches make for a sleeker silhouette, and ultimately the long-legged dream is achievable. Don't you like that?? hehe =)



So tell me ladies.. Which one of these (heels or flats) do you think is more preferable to you?



P/S: Mr. Blahnik says, "Shoes should be an investment, as we do spend all day on our feet. So why not add some class too! And you should go as high as you can!”



-both black patent leather shoes are from Bally.

Small is Tall, Tall is Small.

Was searching for Starbucks commercial ads for my Retail Management project..and I found this!

So cute yet confusing! hehe..



hehehe.. What a skilled video-maker!

She really can make great face expressions!! And the rise and fall of her voice pitch and intonations were perfect. She can be an actress la, don't you think? Dah la lawa! heh. =)


Oh by the way..for those who don't know or still confuse,
At Starbucks, the smallest size for their beverage is called Tall, and a medium one is Grande and the biggest size of all is called Venti.



Got it?



Sekian!

Confessions of a Shopaholic






I have read this Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella when the book first came out. I really enjoyed reading all the series. I read them many many times.


And.. Today, I've watched the movie.


Well..


Umm.. the movie was.....okay..

But, I would have liked the movie if I hadn’t read the fantastic series. The movie does not do the book any justice!! =(
Well... I already know that the movie isn't a scene-by-scene recreation of the book. Of course, films are very different from books. But..there were just so many scenes that were not even exist in the book!! =(
(I got a lil' bit upset for a moment..huhu)
Like, in the book, there are no talking mannequins beckoning and convincing Becky to shop, and Luke isn’t her boss, and her fantastic article isn’t about shoes and investment accounts!

Soo different lar.

Haihh.


I would have loved to see Sophie's own creation put up onto the screen word-for-word with not one syllable changed..but what to do.. the director of this movie- P.J Hogan somehow had to change some of the plotlines (which turned out to be so infuriating!). I really really hope the second one- Shopaholic Takes Manhattan would be so much more brilliant than this!

The only moment that I can remember that is exactly extracted from the novel was the very first scene in the book - where Becky sits at her desk and opens her credit card bills. - I got really excited! All those stories that I read and imagined..at last coming to life!! =)

Anyhow.. the movie's alright. I wouldn't recommend it to the fans of the book, though.

Oh btw, it's true what this writer said: Becky Bloomwood is the dumbed down version of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde.. Isla Fisher has downgraded Becky Bloomwood into a stereotypical, silly female wrapped in pink.
Hmmm... =(


For those of you who does not have any idea about this book that I'm talking about, you can read the synopsis:

“Becky Bloomwood has what most twenty-five-year-olds only dream of: a flat in London’s trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the season’s must haves. The only trouble is, she can’t actually afford it - not any of it. Her job writing at Successful Savings magazine not only bores her to tears, it doesn’t pay much at all. Still, how can she resist that perfect pair of shoes? Or the divine silk blouse in the window of that ultra-trendy boutique? But lately Becky’s been chased by dismal letters from Visa and the Endwich Bank - letters with large red sums she can’t bear to read - and they’re getting ever harder to ignore. She tries cutting backs; she even tries making more money. But none of her efforts succeeds. Her only consolation is to buy herself something…just a little something…"



Oh, I'm soo glad I read the series cuz the stories are so much more better! (But I still love the movie.. if not bcuz of the cutest Isla Fisher!) hehe =)





P/s: That green Danny & George scarf wasn't anything like what I imagined it would be. Not that nice pun..huhu =P



P/ss: And that Hugh Dancy is sooooo handsome and cute lar!! He does suit to be Luke Brandon! I'm soo happy.. hehe



XOXO,

20s Going On 40

Someone asked me just now.. what do I want in this life.. So here's my answer to you.


I'm a very simple person. I do have dreams and goals in this life. But my dreams and goals are not as biggg as others'.

All I want in this life is just to be happy and be moderate a little bit here and there. Okay, it sounded a bit cliché. But seriously, I don't really dream and plan to become a billionaire or a workaholic or a CEO of a really really big company or something.. or whatever la..

Well.. This might sound a bit unambitious or whatever la, to some of you.. But I don't really care.. I know what I want.

hmm...

So... What do I want?? (More like vision and mission.. hehe)

By the time I reach 25:
I want to have a job that I love, that pays well.
I don't want to be surrounded by debts, debts and debts!
I want to buy car with my own money.
I hope to khatam Quran for the third time.
I want to travel around the world(ceh, macam banyak duit jer.. haha) with friends, before I get married.
I must already know how to cook! (or at least on the way.. hehe)
I want to buy or pay something big(but still dunno what..hehe) to my parents. (Maybe a car? but I can't afford to buy a Brabus lah.. haha =P )
I want to possess at least one Chanel handbag. haha =P
I want to get a figure that I always wanted.
I want to be fit and healthy.
I hope by that time, I am already matured and always think and act rationally.
I must already memorized Surah Yasin (now only half of the surah..isk)
I want to learn to draw and design shoes.
I want to be willing to work extra hours for me to earn more and more money for me to prepare for my dream wedding. (tapi jodoh di tangan Tuhan..maka saya pun tak tahu lah bila saya akan kawin..haha)
I want to be so in love! hahah =P


By the time I reach 30:
I hope I am already married. haha =P
And have such a perfect honeymoonsss with my dear hubby =)
And before I reach 30, I must already have at least one beautiful child. (or maybe two.. tapi rezeki semua Allah yang tentukan..)
I hope by that time, I have better job that pays really well.
I hope I can pursue my studies somewhere either domestic or undomestic. (preferably somewhere undomestic la.. like UK ke.. to do my masters. hehe. But I got to find the money first la.. heh)
I hope I'm already an expert at kitchen! haha =P
I want to always cook for my family. (Just like my mum. I want to make breakfast and dinner everyday for my family even though I have a fulltime job..)
I don't want to be surrounded by debts, debts and debts!
I want to still have a nice figure.. hehe
I want to live in a condo first..
I want to solat jemaah with my family or husband at least once a day.. (subuh or maghrib or isyak ke..)
I want to design/sell shoes as my part time job and as a hobby.. hehe =P
I want to travel every year with my family! (Just like my dad did..hehe)
I want to be really in love with my husband! hehe =)


By the time I reach 35:
I hope I have another baby. =)
I don't want to work extra hours anymore. Not because I'm lazy, but because I have to have time for my family. (I don't want to become a busy woman! I want to be like my mum! Always have time to look after my family yet she worked from 8am to 5pm! Super woman, I tell you!)
I don't want to be surrounded by debts, debts and debts!
I want to live in a bigger house..
I want to have a bigger car. (To squeez my children in! haha)
I want to solat jemaah with my family or husband at least once a day.. (subuh or maghrib or isyak ke..)
I want to design/sell shoes as my part time job..or maybe open a shoe store..And name it Shoezwany hehe =P
I want to travel every year with my family! (Just like my dad did..hehe)
I want to bring my parents to travel with my family, if I have extraaa money...hehe =P
I want to be a cool and a fabulous mom. haha
I want to be really in love with my husband! hehe =)


By the time I reach 40:
I still want the same thing.. =)



hmm..well... I can't think of anything else right now.. I don't really know what I want, 20 years from now.. This is just a girl who's in her early 20s talking..haha =P

Of course, this is just my dreams and goals in life.. (and there are some other things too, but I don't want to write it here..).
And so it is easily said than to be done.. but InsyaAllah, I will try to fulfill each and every word I said..if God permits me to do so.. =)

-Wassalam-




XOXO,

To Go or Not To Go

The other day I got an sms from Fahmi:

I just want to inform you that we have a promotion: purchase voucher RM300, and RM280 can be fully redeemed for the products and RM20 for makeover by international makeup artist from Hong Kong and Korea. The background of the photo shooting would be the Coco Chanel apartment. You can get an A4 sized picture and two 2R sized pictures. If you're interested, you can make an appointment with me. Thanks."


And last night, I got an email from Parkson:



Mereka berdua ni memang lahh! haih.. Dikala saya sedang kebizian ini.. mereka mengganggu hidup saya.. huhu..



Sighh...
