A strand of Grey in 2014

At 30 going 31, I discovered I have already sported a strand of grey hair.

Oh no!

and also, I am now sporting a really really short haircut, first in my life! Having a boy-cut style.

I needed a change and since my hair was dropping like mad (post-natal delivery) and I am trying to keep myself away from going for rebonding and colouring so to have it short is the way to go.

I have always wanted to find out how I will look with such short hair and hey, I was not disappointed at all.

BUT before getting what I wanted, I had to go through 4 days of bad haircut days.

I went to the salon, asking for the Ginnifer Goodwin cut. The hairstylist of course replied me saying it is too short for me and she recommended another cut.

           

Seeing that she is a professional, I said I trusted her and let her snip away.

Little did I know, when I saw the final product, I could not even lift my head up. I was that embarrassed and I tried to do positive thinking, trying to convince myself that it was the first day cut that I may not be used to or maybe I could style it up...

Well, I did go with a friend and when she saw me, she did not look happy with my cut. I don't blame her. I was not happy either.

Came home, tried to convince myself still but I just could not take it anymore by the second day.

I was extremely upset, so I sat down and wrote an email to the salon telling them how I am upset and I would want a restyle.

It was Saturday evening then. On Sunday, there was still no reply from them, I facebooked messaged them there instead.

They are closed on Mondays.

On Tuesday, my friend has agreed to accompany me to go to the salon and ask them to rectify the issue but before we could make our way there, the hairstylist had called me, saying that she has received my email and if she could restyle it back for me.

Told her I will be there in half hour and there I was, being hair pampered again (hair wash and blow) and then.. the cut!

My friend sat down beside me, making sure I get the cut I wanted.. or at least something similar, seeing that my hair texture is rather thick and wiry.

So.. final product...

TADAAAAAA.....

I am rather pleased with it and well, hopefully I am hardworking enough to style it with wax. =)

What do you think about my new look?

My very first ...

double C bag in the house!

*girly squeals* 

My very first double C brand bag .. other than the LVs that I still love. Would love to be able to have that Lumineuse PM in Monogram Empreinte but this double C bag is around the same price so, well, might as well get my hands on the double C that I have been always eyeing and Luminere Empriente can wait for that one sweet day again.

Right now, I am being a very very happy girl with ma bling and double C GST. 

Fabulous weekend

Last weekend had been a fabulous weekend where I got to spend time with a few of my closest girlfriends who came up from Penang and Johor and also, one who flew back from Japan. 

Lets talk about that Penang girl first, shall we?

It was her birthday weekend and since she was going to be stuck in Malaysia, instead of celebrating with her two boys, she decided KL would be a better place to celebrate her birthday instead of Penang and there were already two of us, Evon and I in KL waiting for her.

We tried persuading PC to fly in from Singapore too but since it was on a very short notice, that woman could not make it but another one of our girlfriends, SChee, flew down on Saturday evening right after work and stayed over a night with WW at my place to celebrate WW's birthday.

WW flew in on Friday morning, and what we did mostly on that day was to eat and hangout with Jaden. We ate at places I have eyed but never got the chance to really tried, and went places where I won't really have any reasons to go to with my boys, especially when it comes to going into KL at night.

I took her to Publika on Saturday as she has only heard of it but never been there, and we met up with Adrian for brunch. Adrian, too, hails from Penang, and it was just nice that Jaden was with me most of the time except for Saturday night.

We ate at Swine, and I felt so happy when I found some nitrate free, preservative organic bacon and bratwurst that I can give Jaden at the supermarket. 

I left WW in the care of Adrian while I headed home with Jaden first, to prepare him his dinner so that all his father had to do was to babysit him and not worry about cooking dinner for the little boy. Bought late lunch and dinner for the father too, so I can just go out with my girls without worrying what my boys will be having for their dinner.

Our fun night started out at about 730pm, when we both went to Subang airport to picked up SChee and headed to Le Midi's @ BSC where I made reservations earlier and had them prepare a surprise cake/candle blowing session for WW after dinner.

It was Mediterranean/Italian cuisine with a view of the pink-lit KLCC and KL Tower. What mattered most was our company. The three of us, just chatting, catching up and doing what we do best, taking photos and enjoying good food. 

WW was sure surprised when the waitress sneaked up from behind with a little birthday cake and they even played the birthday song over the restaurant music system. =)

It was really nice to see the smile on my friend's face as she made her birthday wish.

Then, we all moved on to Marini's 57 where, I have heard so much of but never been or seen it before, and had another school friend to join us there.

We were lucky to be able to witness KLCC being all lit up in beautiful pink light to commemorate Breast Awareness. 

Since our main intention was just to go for the view, and some photos and go oohh aahhhs over KL skyline, all of us ordered non-alcoholic drink except for the birthday girl while waiting for another schoolmate to come over with his wife to join us.

Once they arrived, and a few more photos and a drink each for the couple, we left the place as it was getting crowded and more people were smoking. Not good for me, the pregnant lady... 

We continued our catching up and laughed our asses off with Edwin entertaining us at the Mandarin Oriental lounge, where we had tea, juices and desserts.

It sure was a fun night, and I am sure the birthday girl did enjoy herself much. We left for home close to 130am and reached home half hour later. Lets just say all of us konked out in an hour after washing up for bed.

The next morning, Edwin and his wife took their daughter to come join us for a quick brunch at Sunway Giza. Again, I have to leave both SChee and WW this time in his hands, while I rushed home to feed my boy and then, drove all the way to Subang to pick up Joy and Marc back to my place.

Yes, the start of the second batch of friends for the day at my place.

It sure was hectic around that two hours of driving here and there but it was all good. Not only was it just Edwin who joined both SChee and WW for brunch, another older schoolmate, whom I just found out stayed really near to me too, joined them and thankfully, she offered to help me drop both SChee and WW at Subang airport for their flight back to Penang.

I sure missed them both already even before they stepped out from my door.

Then, while waiting for the Johorean to arrive with her little girls and mother, Joy helped me prepare the cooking ingredients so when the Johorean arrives, she can start her cooking for us as she promised.

Turned out to be it was aunty that did all the cooking and washing up while we girls were just catching up and spending time with our children.

The house was really noisy, but a good kind of noisy, though Marc might not really agree with us. We took the kids down for a swim and they sure had a good time. Since I was so heavily pregnant, I decided to be the photographer of the day and took pictures of my happy friends and even happier kids.

Aunty really took care of us well, its almost just like us, taking care of our kids while she took care of us and the grandkids. 

Before we went down for a swim, aunty had already cooked us the tong sui, barley fuchuk dessert. After swimming, we had chicken rice that was awesome! Aunty even made sure that Hubby who was out doing his reno research had some. How awesome can aunty be?

Then we proceeded to Penang One cafe, so the lady who lived in Japan can cross it off her MUST EAT checklist while back in KL -Assam Laksa!

Zairynn drove over to join us and well, it sure was a fun night, with both Sharon's girls being so cute and entertaining. It was just pure cuteness overload coming from her daughters and judging from the children's faces, they were all pooped out by the time we all came to say our goodbyes and till we meet again. 

I, too, was all pooped out and boy, Jaden and I both sure slept like a baby that night.

It really was one fabulous weekend, where both parties really made it to my convenience, coming all the way to my place to hangout instead of asking me to go hang out outside with them.. 

MAD LOVE to my girlfriends for being so accommodating with me. 

Don't Ask

So, the Hubs asked me what I want for my birthday this year?

I thought hard.

There are just too many things that I want but .. I guess I know how to prioritize the thing that I want most of all for now .. for this year and to make the welcoming of 2013 a better one.

I wanted to go to Universal Studios last year to sit on the rides. In the end, I did not get to do that because my girlfriends did not think it was worth the money as it was a raining so we ended up having wine the night before, shopped at H&M.sg for the boy's clothes the next morning, had tonkatsu ramen and come back home to KL. (As you can see, my birthday wants are mostly always scrapped!)

So what is it that I want?

If one is to read the list, one would have puke blood right there and then because what I want is really really materialistic.

Hey, birthdays only come once a year and for a person like me, a birth date means a lot to me.

I don't put my birthday on facebook because I don't want just anybody to wish me Happy Birthday.

From there, I would know who actually bothers about me, care enough just to wish me those two words that will make me the happiest woman.

Of course, I would very much like the idea of how birthday surprises (friends get-together/ dinner party) could be plan for me.. but then again, its just an idea. That will never happen a lifetime for me, unless I plan one myself and that won't be a surprise no more.

No, I don't like the idea of celebrating my birthday in a club, downing drinks and getting drunk but  chilling out at a nice place with good wine and close friends would be best.

BUT then again, who is going to drive me home after that? Who is going to put the boy to bed? Who is going to wake up and prepare breakfast for the boy the day after? 

So .. IDEA is NOT IDEAL afterall.

SCRAPPED !

Then, I love a good birthday cake. No, wait, good beautiful birthday cupcakes. My favourite -the rosette looking ones with vanilla base. Not just any cupcakes, not those supersweet ones, like those found in the cupcake shops but those order from homemade ones .. I have always ordered cupcakes for others and the only cake I got ordered for me was last year, when my bestfriend presented me with a big Elmo cake. That was super sweet of her to specially ordered it for me.

I guess, I won't be having my dream cake this year too either. 

Maybe that fruit cocktail cake from Hokkaido bakery could just do the trick then. I love their fruit cocktail cake too.

A day to myself? A specially arranged spa treatment with full body massage, followed by manicure and pedicure and a good hair treatment after .. and a nice romantic dinner for two, or maybe for a glutton like me, a good buffet place where I can eat to my heart's content without having to worry about eating superfast, or what the boy can eat .. and a movie after just to end the night.

Someone that will offer to help babysit the boy, to feed him his dinner .. 

IDEA is NOT IDEAL too.. because I don't have anybody here that will be able to do that for me. Nobody can really handle the boy.

Selfish thought eh, me being the mother yet I want the day to be spent not with the boy? and that makes me feel so GUILTY so yea, SCRAP THAT !

I would love him to blow the candles out together with me though, and sit with me when I make my birthday wish.

Then.. after how I want to celebrate my birthday, what present do I really want? Those tangible ones, those that I can actually touch and feel and say, hey, its a birthday present for me. :)

Well, FIRST, I wanted half a house. ( Not in my lifetime that would come true unless I work my ass and use my own money OR get lucky and join competitions that offers houses as grand prizes.) -SCRAPPED-

SECOND, I was eyeing a bag and asked a friend who was travelling to Italy then to help me get it. Alas, he was too tied up with work and could not find time to head out to shop for me. (don't ask bout the pricing :p)
 -SCRAPPED-

THIRD, I wanted this one watch since I started working and was introduced to that particular brand. They no longer make it in the collection I wanted but then again, there is the Linea or Hampton that looks equally as pretty but pricey but do I really really really want it right now? I can do with it later but is it something that I want NOW? so -SCRAPPED-

I chanced upon this FOURTH item while I was browsing a blog. It hit me that I was in a similar condition as that blogger and I may even need it much more badly than that blogger and we are the same age. I really thinks the blogger looks good with this FOURTH item I think I need badly .. but Hubs might have a different take on this .. 

SO ...

lets just go with maybe I will just skip by my last birthday in my 20's as quietly as can be .. and pray that I can usher in the BIG THREE with a party but then again, there will never be such a thing. 

I will just go to bed every night now, counting the days to my birthday and then just be grateful to be alive this 29 years of my life, getting to see my son grow and improving in all sort of ways..

Min & Shunji Matsuo makes me feel brand new

It all started with Hubby patting my head. 

He then commented that its time he gives me some money to go do something to my frizzy unkempt hair. 

Of course, I took that comment positively and even jumped in joy immediately.

People that really know me, would know how I only usually visit the salon once a year to get my hair done. 

I am not the type of girl to go to the salon every now and then to do treatment, color change or even trim my hair.

Yes, I am a hobo like that, praying every now and then that I shall have a good hair day.

Seriously, I think I fail as a woman.

Anyway, back to my hair and how it made me feel brand new today after visiting back Min & Shunji Matsuo @ Hartamas. 

Initially I wanted to tryout this raved-about salon, as they were all over almost every girl's blog and how nice and good their skills are.. wonderful products and their swear-by hair treatment ... but then again, I could not bring myself to head over there as 

1) the bloggers are sponsored

2) they are very very expensive where treatment is charged separately even if you do colouring/rebonding/perm with them.

and anyway, Min & Shunji Matsuo did leave a lasting impression on me as my perm did last till now, and it was rather manageable with a nice cut. I actually like what the hairstylist did to my hair and I still like what she just did to my hair today.

Before Min, I did go to another salon but that hairstylist was just practically following the books instead of going with his intuition as a hairstylist giving someone a new hairstyle so it came out quite wrong and I didn't know how to style my hair after that, giving me much problems ... so yea, I can be really really anal and also loyal when it comes to sticking to a salon.

So what did I do today to my hair?

My look is inspired by Carly Rae Jepsen and also Jung So Min in Can We Get Married drama. I kind of fell in love with that cut and hair length. I sometimes scare myself silly when I look in the mirror with my long hair aka dry grass. Not to mention, my big barren forehead with the bald spot that I obtained from my pregnancy stage. That is also the reason why I don't look like any other girls who can tie a nice ponytail or bun, because my bald spot and forehead makes me look like an alien from outer space.

Ok, so what exactly did I do to my hair today that costs me a bomb? No, don't ask me the price...

1) Hair Cut

2) Soft Rebonding as I have Mufasa hair if I don't tame it with rebonding. (I am so grateful to the person who invented rebonding)

3) Colour + Treatment

Outcome?

What do you think?

Finally, I dyed my hair. 

I am not brave enough to dye bright colours or fall/winter colours which is currently trending among the girls right now. I chose a safe colour, just goldish brown over my dark black hair so it will just come out looking rather natural and not-in-your-face kind of colour.

Maybe, maybe next time, I shall have it a bit redder. :) or pinkish brown, whatever that does not make me any darker looking as my skin is already really tanned enough.

Truth be told, I might have this hairstyle before, just different in hair length ... but anyway, after coming out of the salon today, I feel like a brand new person rocking my newly styled hair. =)

So what do you think? Suit my face shape? =)

Westlife Gravity Tour 2011

Destination : Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I was sold, the moment I heard and saw 'Swear It Again' played on MTV.




Still a girl in her light blue pinafore, vouching for Shane and Mark. My favourite two main lead vocalists in Westlife.

I could still remember the very first Westlife concert I went to, courtesy of sweetheart Faith. It was back in May 2001.



How both of us travelled by the Starline train to get to Astro to pickup the tickets were crazy. Got down/up on the wrong train when we were at Chan Sow Lin station but well, that sure did make the Westlife experience better!

Now, the boys came back minus one 10 years later and man, I still love them as much as I did back then!

Initially I wanted the Premier tickets but then again, I don't think I could make it to the pre-cocktail session and they are a little tad too expensive. Hubby offered to get me the Platinum tickets but when I went to buy them, premier and platinum were all SOLD OUT! Yea, you heard me.. all the expensive tickets have been swiped clean!



I was left with only three choices -Gold / Silver or Bronze. Of course I went for the Gold tickets. I remember the seating plans in Putra Indoor Stadium very well and Gold do provide good view of the stage so Gold it is for me!



Sadly, this time round, I attended the concert alone. Faith has moved her ass to New Zealand, my one and only Westlife kaki!

but well, I was not feeling sad for long. The moment I stepped into the arena, I nearly teared. To see the crowd who breathes Westlife was awesome. Music was played while everybody slowly made their way into the arena, video cams capturing the audience doing their 'thang' and roaring cheers and support from the audience whenever the camera focuses in on unsuspecting people grooving to the music.

I mean, can you believe it ? Even before Westlife appeared on the stage, one can already feel the warmth of the crowd. I am not sure if you understand what I am trying to say but it is somewhat like the saying, there is no place like home. Everybody feels so much closer, like we had something all in common = our love for Westlife. I felt the same when I attended Super Show II in 2010 in KL but something about being at concert in our neighboring country is just plain cold. I just could not connect, or feel the warmth like I felt from our fellow Malaysians.

Of course, the arena was not only filled with Malaysians but there were quite a few from other countries. I even spotted two old aunties wearing <3 Westlife shirts and they are from New Zealand! They look like they are in their 70s, yet they were fun and participated to the spycam moment. Then there were the Irish girls, with orange wigs and the Ireland flag. They were rather friendly and would take pictures with the other concert goers.

By about 9pm, the crowd got a bit restless and started chanting for Westlife. At 9.05pm, the lights went out and the curtain dropped, revealing the very reason why we were all gathered there at the Putra Indoor Stadium that day.

WESTLIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!

and the very first song they sang ...

Now, that is one sure way to fire up the crowd... and the best thing, everybody knows the lyrics !

After the first song, Nicky announced that they usually play a game with the audience and they would randomly pick two people out from the audience onto the stage. I was like OMG! Really? Then he took out his phone and called out a guy's name.

*grr* what? a guy got chosen? and why did the girl go up too? When did Nicky call out her name?

Anyway Nicky asked where both of them are from and pass the microphone to the guy and asked him how does he feel tonight? and then the whole cliche thing happened ..

yea, some of you might have guessed it but well, it was sweet nonetheless. The trouble the guy went through to do all that to go down on one knee, and asked his girlfriend to marry him and be serenaded by the four Irish men? *sigh*

The girl took some time to say yes. I somehow doubt she actually wanted to say yes but it must be the pressure from the crowd and being just next to the Westlife members? and then they serenaded her! She got to hug each and every of those four Irish! *JEALOUS MAX*

The song?

Well, Gravity Tour did not feel like a concert at all. In fact, it felt more like we were invited to this one big party where everybody gets up and dance to the music and groove along with the boys on stage. It has a personal touch which is rather different from all the other concerts I have been to.. other than Pussycat Dolls (where we get to dance too at the Surf Beach -thanks to Ms Ho)

I loved every minute I was in there, the arena, hearing the boys belt out their hit songs from 1999 - 2010. albeit Mark did put on some weight but he still has a to-die-for vocals.

The boys did a medley of other songs such as Viva La Vida, Only Boy in The World, Time of My Life and Bad Romance. The whole crowd just went mad!!!!






However, the concert felt a little short, as if they only sang a few songs.. they did not sing Swear It Again but they sang three of my favourite songs -Flying Without Wings, Seasons in The Sun and You Raise Me Up!

Fell in love with one of their latest song too...



*sigh* The whole thing ended with they singing Uptown Girl as the encore ... and it was byebye Malaysia, we will see you again!!! Hopefully sooner and not another ten years down the road!!!!

Truth be told, there are quite a few boybands that I deeply truly know the lyrics to each and every of their songs; Backstreet Boys, Boyzone, Westlife, 911 and 98 Degrees. =) Maybe Blue but these 4 are my top favourites of all time!

Love much!

Girly time by myself

I just re-discovered that shopping by myself, (ok, Jaden was with me but seating quietly, behaving [thankfully!!!!] in his stroller), life strolls by with no rushes or hurries... its just so blissful. Of course, it has to be completed with the cash Hubby gives la. No money go shopping where got nice right? LOL

It must have been really quite some time for me now, since I last got to go to a shopping mall, go into all the shops that I wanted to go, browse through those beautiful dresses, tops, bottoms.. and bags and shoes.. but today, I ended up at La Senza.

I just could not resist the big big sign -SALE, not to mention, those beautiful bras of all colours and designs. I just have to go in and boy, lets just say damage done by walking into just one shop = RM200.

BUT oh wells, considering that I do not really go lingerie shopping every now and then.. I only do it when I think I have quite worn out the ones I have.. come to think of it, a girl can also never have too many lingeries. They just make you feel so sensual! HAAHAHAH self-assuring stance!

Of course, with the breast lump removal, I do really need some good bra support. So I do actually have a valid reason! and SALE! how can one not buy when there are sales going on. Its the most worth it time to go and scoop everything up from the shop, I would, if the Hubby lets but I am damn sure he is going to assume I do not exist. LOL

Walked around a bit, Jaden was busy looking at other children and laughing at them running here and there. Now, that hes a bit more aware of peers his age playing, it seems to amuse him.

Feeling a little guilty I splurge on myself so much, I brought Jaden over to his children's clothes section. Unfortunately, there weren't any nice clothes or either they were too expensive, not worth the cloth so I left. Next time.. next time.. anyway, when we go out, its usually us coming back with more of his stuff than ours so well, this time let it be me for once. Just this once for a while..

I did not see any shoes that suits my taste so well, Hubby manage to save some money in that category. As for bag, I saw one clutch that is quite ons but well, that I put on hold as I am trying to consider if I really need it or want it.. see? at least I can still reason my needs and want and not go on an impulsive shopping spree. *pat myself on the shoulder!*

Well, so there it is, my Saturday today. Finally a Saturday, which I can actually claim it as a weekend.

Look What I found Joy!

One Chinese New Year in Penang, when the girls came down and play...

and while hanging out at the beach, we had some eye-candy

those were the days ... (2006)

*pics taken off shavain's side*

I am in LOVE

yes I am..

very very in LOVE

I never thought I would but it happened.. *sigh* howwww???

how can one not fall in love after ...

..seeing these pictures?

*hint hint Mr Yap*

Fibroadenoma of mine

is about 3.8cm in diameter. Big isn't it?

So what is a fibroadenoma? Hmm.. google it or click here and you will find out more.

I went for my 11am appointment today with Dr Kwan and well, lets just say he had me checked thoroughly, sending me for an ultrasound to be done by a radiologist and then, well, the outcome, I will be send in to the OT after the CNY holidays to have it removed.

Dr Kwan did give me two options.

One is surgery and the other is to have the needle biopsy but being a scaredy cat, I don't think I can take a needle poking into my breast, even if they apply the anesthetic there so I took option one and would rather have him slit open a small part of the breast to remove the whole lump and send it for testing.

I would really have to give it to TMC for being a really nice, friendly, efficient hospital with helpful friendly staff all around.

Well, the removal of this breast mouse of mine will come with a price but Dr Kwan assured me that in time, the breast tissue will start growing again so... *phew* already nearly as flat as the airport runway with a few bumps, I might just be a deflated balloon. Sad case eh? well, but its all for the greater good and the peace of mind, knowing I removed something that can hurt me so much from inside.

I would be require to stay over a night at the hospital when time comes so he can have me under observation under post-op and so I can also have a proper rest without having to worry that Jaden will come headbang me anytime right after the op.

Hmm.. since the hospital is just like 6 minutes drive away from my place, I think I would most probably cab there and have someone fetch me home after. Gawd! Guess I will be the earliest one to be rolled into the operation theatre that day as mine will start at 830am.

Now, that these has been diagnosed and solution is on the way, it is time I get my insurance claim going so I won't be delayed back in the hospital when discharged.

Breast Mouse?

Sometimes I feel a sharp pain in my chest, sometimes right at the breast.

I didn't suspect anything but just felt weird why would I be having these needle sharp pain from time to time.

I shrugged it off and I also delayed my pap smear tests for about 3 years since I gave birth to Jaden. I think I only did it once after a month or two after giving birth to Jaden and kept giving myself excuses that I won't be needing to do pap smear once a year.

Then, lately, just about two three months ago, I felt really bad pain at one side of my breast and it hurt so bad, it would practically wake me up from sleep.

Two months went by and I just thought it was due to hormones, aunty flo visits thus the swelling feeling but then again, when it hurts, I can really feel the lump which is rather obviously big.

This time round, coming into my third month, I decided to wait no more. The lumps are starting to scare me and so I quickly made an appointment with my gynae to have my pap smear done and also an ultrasound breast screening.

Yes, you heard me. Why an ultrasound on the breast rather than mammogram? Well.. mammo is actually much more suitable for women 40 and above as it requires compression, which in one doctor's words "Its gonna be one hell of a pain! Don't do it now that we are still young and the boobs aint saggy yet!"

So I took the doctor's advice and asked for a breast ultrasound instead.

While my gynae checked my lump for me, a female nurse is present in the same room and well, my gynae said the lump felt quite big and hard but should be non-cancerous. That was also what my doctor friend told me about breast cancer lumps actually don't hurt. So what I am going through now is probably a breast mouse. My gynae then told me that I probably would only need to have it surgically removed to be safe. He then, wrote me a referral letter to his surgical colleague and arranged an appointment for me to meet the other doctor this coming Monday.

Oh boy! Surgical? Now that is scaring me but if that is what it takes to bring me home healthy and able to take care of my son without worrying further, then surgical it is!

and the best thing right now is that my son sometimes headbang right onto the spot where it hurts the most when he throws tantrum. *sigh* how la to keep the pain away like that?

I hope when Monday comes, the doctor will be able to tell me what the lump is exactly and what is the next step I should be taking... wish me luck, will ya?

- :: s*x - ited :: -

When least expected ...

Hubby usually will be doing his work out in the field, not home most of the time these days because of his job scope. Usually he will come back with tapao-ed food for me or well, toys for Jaden or himself but last night, he came home bearing an unexpected gift ............

for me!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! Yes! It was least expected as the SimonYap clan do not celebrate Christmas. Not to say that we are like holiday party poopers but it just wasn't an in-born tradition thing that we celebrate growing up.

We are much more of a family that celebrates the Chinese Calendar --> CNY / Chap Goh Meh / Rice Dumpling Festival / Mooncake Festival and the TongYuen Festival of course!

So when Hubby came home with a Christmas gift for me, I was reallllllly feeling very touched!

and the best thing was something that I love to have in one of my collections -- actually I have 3 MAIN loves as a female species!

BAGS
SHOES
CLOTHES

and Hubby came back with my first love -a bag. Not just any bag but a LeSportSac bag.

*sigh* How thoughtful of him...

I was just saying a few days ago how I am over utilising my white Coach bag and that it has become more yellow looking than ever and I needed a new bag that I can use almost on an everyday out basis instead of the Coach bag.. and voila!

I HAVE GOT A LESPORTSAC BAG from Hubby...

He has bought me quite a few bags now but it was never on his own accord that he will do it without me asking and this was one that he actually took me by surprise!!!!!!!!!!!! that made me really touched!

oohhhh.. Merry Christmas everyone! I love the holiday spirit! =) =)
