Favourite items bought in 2010!

hello earthlings! i usually appear and then disappear. i wonder if anyone ever reads this whole load of crap from me anymore. lol. then again, people just strangely disappear because they start working. i don't even get how people tweet and work, because it's just impossible for me to do so!

but hold your horses, i will still appear magically once in a while here to blog.

the other day i was on the phone with my hubbers, and i said, i would really love to blog what are my favourite things which i have bought over 2010. not just my favourite, but prolly, what i put to use often.

i drafted out a list. not only a list, actually, three lists! i didn't find time to blog about it, until now! yay for me! i haven't got time and yes, it is not a good enough reason.

items favourited are bolded and some may not come with pictures, read the words, earthlings! so ladies and maybe, if there are any gentlemen reading this (hi, hubbers!), this is my list of Favourite Bought Things of 2010 in random order. enjoy!

i bought this Guess watch in a pair with hubby's. my favourite because i love leather strapped watches if you haven't known me long enough. gives a classy yet humble feel to its owner. i am not a big fan of metal watches. tends to look tacky and cheap, if you pick the wrong ones.

this baby is rm599 for a couple set. worth every penny because it can be worn formal, casual and whatever which comes to your mind!

there are two things in the above picture which i adore. the Forever 21 stingray back dress and the Charles & Keith pair of pumps.

you have no idea how many strangers have said 'nice dress' and i cannot be any much more proud of my black dress, lol. even my hbr1 loves it! i was watching antm one fine day and one of the contestents were wearing the exact same peplum dress. :)

most people will not pick the above pumps because it may look a fair bit eccentric. but i love it because it's sweet yet there's a very slight touch of class to it. the best plus point, it's HELL COMFY! i advised cynthia to get a pair in black, and she loved it so much she wanted to get another same pair. lol. worth every penny!

and then there's my small little Ferrari! i bought a small Viva mid 2010 and i love the freedom which comes along with it. i see my hubby as i like and i go shopping in pavilion as i deem i should! when i am unhappy, i travel from 1u to curve to happi-fy myself. i love the freedom package. :) but i do not love how it squeezes my purse tight enough for the maintenance and all the parking. lol.

cotton on tank tops! mighty useful because it goes with almost everything. pair it with a high waisted skirt and a cardigan for work. or jeans for play. shorts for the sun. this reminds me to grab news ones for the year. cotton on stuffs are not meant for durable use. however, i still love the fit!

black Charles & Keith short handle bag (comes with long handle). if you are someone who will be starting work in no time, you will need a black bag. i love this because of its simplicity. :) and it was only rm 100!

Heavy Rotation liquid eyeliners. i was walking around 1u one day and came across sasa. i love the Heavy Rotation liquid eyeliner (from Japan). it is a pen like eyeliner. glides easily and best of all, you can use normal make up remover to remove. :) rm 48 is worth every penny.

there's a Kate liquid eyeliner there because my sister got back from Tokyo and only got me this. i tried it once, and really, it ain't too bad! i like how easy it is to put this one but the Kate liquid eyeliner is slightly harder to remove.

my Mango slim-cut jeans. before this i do not think i ever tried wearing jeans. i am terribly bow legged and any jeans would look very weird on me. and the length (i am short) of my legs do not help any much. i hated levi's because it is always too loose on me and i hated skinny jeans because it made my bowed legs even more apparent than usual.

i was at a random MNG sales and thought i should try this baby. and i haven't regretted since then. :)

last but not least, my favourite has got to be my iPhone 4! my Blackberry Bold 2 obviously didn't quite make it close to my iPhone 4 because it doesn't have FaceTime, i love FaceTiminig my bubs! and there's the giant map on my iPhone 4 lol. there's only a tiny map on BB2. then there's Tap Tap Revenge and Veggie Samurai! lol. hahaha. this is getting lame, but do get your iPhones! then you won't feel lonely no more! :)

so folks, i am sure you have a favourite list! i have another list of Most Useful Buys. But it may be sort of similar to my Favourite Buys. so maybe i will come up with a list of Essential Items To Have In Your Wardrobe. :) we'll see how hardworking i get!

signing off for a long day tomorrow. take care!

for perth.

hello everybody! i would've abandoned my blog but yap sze vien has summoned me on my facebook wall to blog. so i am here to harass you with an update, which really consists of nonsense. but follow me on twitter @ mcwaiyee to follow my life closely (i don't guarantee i will grant access, but let me know who are you. :))

so these are some random pictures taken over the weeks since i got my fawesome iphone. :) my bubs helped me sell off my blackberry, and now i am a proud owner of an iphone 4. i can't say i hate my blackberry, it's useful, keeps me updated on my work life when i am off work. hahahahaha. but i love the iphone because the games keep me occupied all the time. i now, do not feel lonesome anymore, wtf. and the most important aspect, the camera is awesome! i love the gazillion applications they have for photography. the FaceTime feature is tri-awesome because it means free video calls!

these are the random pictures i have for you!

some of my awesome chick colleagues i work closely with.

on a random trip up genting where hubby and I spent hours on the iphone instead of anything else. wth.

one of my favourite photography apps in my iphone is the lomo cam!

mind not the irritating finger.

and then last week i spent shopping everywhere! considering the sales and what nots. first was the Zara warehouse sale which i went at 10 am and i was first to enter. the S sizes were abundant!

then was uniqlo's opening, where i hated everything about uniqlo. they have very pretty wool jackets and wool workwear which clearly isn't suited for the malaysian weather. other than that, i am not too impressed. spent 30 mins inside, got nothing and headed over to pavilion for some Forever 21, where i got the prettiest floral dress! whee!

nope, i didn't line up for 3 hours. just 5 minutes! i was practically all geared up for lining up. i brought brownies, some work and even an umbrella, most importantly, a fully charged iphone4. yes. :)

then there was my good friend's engagement. congrats, sweetheart! i haven't seen her for the longest time! :( makes me sad already. i shall beep her soon.

that's all thus far. i will update with pictures from now onwards. i hope this keeps my lesbo friend from faraway perth happy. i know you're bored in the land of nowhere lol.

take care everybody! let me know if you want me to blog something specific. i guess if i had a specific topic i'd be more gungho to blog. lol.

new skincare routine. :)

good day everybody! am back with another productive post. likely useful for the ladies, unlikely the men. i am sorry i promised to come back to blog the other day, but i guess i failed myself. lol. this was supposed to be up like 1 month back but i never seem to got to do it. lazy me.

when i got back from my subway dinner with hubby(i love subway!), i thought i'd take the night off and blog not just about my updated skin care routine, but also my top 10 shops/brand/etc to shop at! but before i promise that, i shall promise myself to take more outfit pictures. hahaha. sure fail. i shall start tomorrow! sigh, plans to do my MC scripts have also failed because i stopped by facebook for far too long!

so i changed my entire skin care routine probably 1.5 months ago. i realized i was all of a sudden having mad oily face. sigh. and it could be because my skin was already dry, adding on to that, i sit under an air conditioner all day long. thus too dry will cause skin to oil! i was using cleanser, toner and moisturizer for oily skin. i thought i'd change into something more hydrating. so i switched back to the entire range of biotherm aquasource.

love the moisturizer! now i don't oil too easily. though i still oil. it's only normal.

exfoliater. i love the smell of my apricot scrub! this is only rm18. scrub maybe once or twice a week, it'll give you healthier skin!

then i was concerned over the 'pore' problem. maybe it's just an aging thing. but i hate pores and apparently pores are cause by oily skin (i don't buy that still). however, this pore sake serum by skin food doesn't work. it smells heavenly and even my boyfriend agrees to that. BUT IT DOESN'T WORK! boohoo! sigh. any recommendations for a good pore minimizing serum?

lastly would be the cucumber soothing mask from skin food. great for relaxation but doesn't do much after that. very very cooling! however, when i got the serum and this, the salesgirl gave me a couple of sample size black sesame mask and i LOVE that!

but this is an amazing relaxing mask nonetheless!

everything else for my skin care routine remains the same, but a few acne products have changed though! lol. next up will likely be more outfit posts! yay!!

new layout!

hello!! yinwai asked why the sudden change of layout. changed layout, with hopes i will tend to blog more. :) i haven't even made time to blog about my new skin care routine fml. which i think i would do so by tonight. so i will make tonight my 'blogging' night. :D applaud my determination, but let's see if i get to doing it. lol.

these are update pictures from weeeeeks and probably more than a month ago because i still have long hair in these pictures. :)

dinner at Fong Lye Hartamas. love the pig's intestines. hbr1 looks adorable here. heh. :)

mef annual dinner with the colleagues. they make working life so much more fun.

i've thought of a full fledged outfit post. but everytime i go to work, i rush. i rush. i rush. i make no time to even take out my bb to snap. i've also thought of coming out with a post on where to get nice and affordable working clothes.

cropped cap sleeved cardi : olio folio

pencil skirt : online

fat ass belt : cats whiskers only rm 20!

white tank : cotton on

new hair : max lol.

this was my second day with new hair! i got sick of my long, lifeless hair and one day just decided to get rid of it. clearly i am not the kind who can live with one hairstyle for the longest time. i like to go long and then short and then long and then short, and the story goes on. lol. i just need to make sure i can carry both long and short hairdos! lol. fickle minded much.

dress with big fat cincher belt : olio folio for only rm33! steal!
eye bags : lack of sleep obviously

both hbr1 and i have found a new love which is tutti frutti! i love tutti frutti! and especially with the grape flavour, i am even more in love :)

will be up with my outfit post soon enough i hope! considering i'm very gung ho to blog for now.

mia.

mia for the moment.

untitled 002. indecisive.

haven't blogged for a very long time. it's almost bed time for me but decided to blog because if i don't do it now, i will never do it. hahahaha. already extremely sleepy at 9.34pm. working life, sigh. practically a rojak post because i have been up to nothing but work, work and more work and highlights of my week would be seeing yinwai during the weekends. fun!

so pics from couple of weeks back.
at meng yee's birthday.

then at sze vien's farewell dinner, i think 2 weeks back.

her usual favourite dinner spot at chulo cafe. love the potato gratin, but it wasn't salty enough that night. had the orange roasted chicken (can't remember the exact name) but it was scrumptious. and yin wai's grilled chicken was also delicious!

an ordinary weekend out with my other half. had yummy pepper lunch for dinner (ironic...pepper lunch for dinner!). still love pepper lunch, but the portion has just gotten smaller, sigh. also less beef strips compared to the last time i was there.

tried tutti fruitti for the first time on the very same night! i liked it! reminds me n my other half of nelson's back in atria. how they had corn flakes in their ice cream. yum! but do remind me for not choosing such a 'differen't flavoured yoghurt the next time around. a tad bit too pricey though!

had muuuuuch fun last week cause yin wai brought me to bon odori! yay! this time around i got to sit on the grounds and eat whatever i want. food was YUM! i could have easily gulped up 3 bowls of udon. the udon was scrumptious! the down side of bon odori this time around would be...there's just too many people!

judge yourself. gosh. look at the amount of people!

but really enjoyed my night though! nope, i didn't dance.

ok time to hit the sack. will be up with a beauty post soon enough. before sze vien leaves! hahaha. muah!

starlight star bright!

so my hubby and i have decided to give i-city a visit many weeks back. but we found ourselves too often caught up with some other things to do. for eg, shopping fml. the first time i saw i-city was on vivien's blog, vvens.com. i adore that her pictures gave a very 'autumny' feel to it, considering the pictures were taken in the day and after in rained (not too sure if she ps-ed them). then i saw it in again in kim's blog (kiminpink.com), and she did have the same picture effects. therefore i really wanted to go in the broad daylight. but my other half wanted to see it in the night, so we went in the evening. great idea because we saw the transition of lights!

i can't say it's too far. and definitely not too difficult to look for. perfect place for photoshooting. and also to paktoh, if you ever needed a place to bring a girl to.

pictures with some pretty blooming flowers.

candid pictures! very cute.

they also had buildings there. very sort of NZX at ara damansara if you remember (the place is now a ghostly town). they now have a steamboat and bbq place, gasoline (i likeeeey!) and...some cafe called orange cafe. many offices around. and they also have mobile restaurants (pizza hut on wheels!). very limited choice of food in that area. so if you really wanna dine there, i suggest, pack your own picnic bag, go early to book a bench! (if you don't like eating with a lot of malays, then forget this idea) being located in shah alam, this place is flooded with malays (i am not racist!) but haven't seen a lot of rempits, maybe a few potential ones, hahaha.

so when driving around, becareful of motors!

chiffon top (teetoo), jeans (mng), bag (charles&keith) and shoes (not shown, brands outlet! comfy). have very comfortable shoes on, cause you gotta climb for a bit!

hahaha cute!

now you can see the lights!

then we headed back because i was dead hungry and there wasn't any nice food. hubby wasn't willing to have gasoline with me! very picky.

some camwhore pictures in the car! what girls do best.

hubby and i! finally. fuh.

sushi with hubby was awesome because i ate like a pig again! wheeeee!

there, my awesome possum weekend!

outfit post 001.

gosh, monday has come. it is going to be a really difficult week ahead for me. especially for a person like me who detests disappointing people. i never faced a farewell without tearing. sigh. but no matter how tough it is, it is a path i have chosen. will be a rough and very different path from the usual ones, but i really hope and pray things will go well. if things go well, i believe i will fly high.


i wished i did more outfit posts. but baby says my dressing sucks. so i cannot do outfit posts, i am not qualified, fml. before going to bed, i have to announce, mng is on sales! i got this pair of jeans at a very affordbale price. i look rather short in jeans and i look very chubby at my thigh area when i have jeans on! but this one ain't that bad. right right right? very proud of my purchase today.

anyway, whole outfit from mng, except the bag (charles&keith, yapszevien) and belt (cotton on, thanks jack for the souvenir!) and shoes (not shown from opera).

outfit post today because it's different from the usual girlie clothes i have on. massively breaking out right now, hopefully i recover soon. sigh.

sigh.

gosh. bad monday. i thought likely the parcel i'm receiving after work will cheer me up, but seems like no. the cropped jacket i ordered doesn't fit me! ARGH!

so i am putting it up here. =( i love how it looks like, but it just won't fit my small frame. sigh. so if anyone wants this baby, let me know.

going for rm 40. i bought at rm 50. ahhh, fml! fits UK8 best.

uhuk-uhuk i want a nice cropped blazer.
