~ A Grumpy Lady ~

I'm going to have a break from blogging since I'm not feeling good nowadays. The nausea and vomiting have really took all the comfort and happiness away from me. I'm officially a grumpy lady for the current being and might stay the same for the next couple of months. I don't have many readers and followers here but I'm happy to announce my pregnancy. It's still too early to celebrate (now at week 7++) but I pray to God for everything to be okay throughout this pregnancy..

Goodbye for a while..

~ How Does A Bag Affect You?! ~

I went to Pacific @ Alor Star Mall last weekend and caught my eyes on a gorgeous white handbag. I have been longing for another Guess bag and a white one to complete my handbag varieties (I don't have so many but enough to mix and match with my attires) and the thought of buying this one could be a '2-in-1' package which consists of a white handbag and it's from Guess!

Still.. I had a 50-50 thought considering whether to spend a big fortune just for a bag or keep the money for good. In the end I left the mall without buying it because 500 bucks were considered expensive. Besides, If I really wanted the bag I planned to make the purchase at Guess retail outlet for the sake of getting it's signature paper bag (I love collecting paper bags!).

The downside of making the decision was I couldn't stop thinking about it. I kept telling myself I didn't really need an expensive bag and I could get a cheaper one from Epsrit (found a nice one in white @ Queensbay) for just 150 bucks but my mind said no. Three days later right after work I went straight to Sunway Carnival to get the bag ASAP but sadly the pattern was not there.

My next trip to Alor Setar is in another 2 weeks, I couldn't wait any longer so last night hubby and I did the bag hunting in Penang. We didn't find the bag @ Queensbay, then rushed to Gurney Plaza later to found out luck was also not there. Lastly, we headed to Metrojaya @ Island Plaza on our way back to mainland and I was so happy to finally see the bag displayed on the rack! According to the salesgirl it was the last stock, without further ado I took it to the cashier and hubby offered to pay as our 1st anniversary present (I bought him 2 bottles of Ralph Lauren perfumes in return to make us even!).

The restless mind of wanting the bag is now over. I'm so happy to own the bag even though its rigid shoulder strap is kinda hurting my shoulder blade (fashion is pain!). I rarely experience the urge to buy something I really want desperately and now I realize how Becky Bloomwood feels every time she does some significant impulsive buying without putting so much thoughts about it (go girl!). Not that I never do the same before but I usually managed to calm down and forget about it (for example, I almost forgot about my dream shoes @ Charles & Keith) but this one was really intense and totally crazy!

P/s: Orang pregnant pun tak mengidam beg sampai macam nih kan..

~ The Mas Kahwin and The Lost Ring ~

It's a Malay tradition for a new bride to spend her 'mas kahwin' to buy something pretty out of it (most probably jewelry). To be honest, I spent mine for daily expenses. I felt bad for doing so but I had no choice and before you judge me, I have strong reasons for that. I started my new job in May and that was the month I got married. The wedding preparation was already burning holes in my pocket and to make it worst, the 1st salary was paid 2 months later. I didn't want to burden hubby to pay everything for me so I made the sacrifice.

After life has been financially stable couples of months later, hubby and I were crazy going places and not to forget the multiple trips of shopping spree. At last, I kinda ignored the need to replace the money until recently that I realized our 1st anniversary is just around the corner.

It's my turn for 'duit kutu' this month so yesterday I dragged hubby to Habib right after work and buy myself a bracelet and an anklet. I feel good for paying off the 'debt' by getting jewelry as a symbolic to my 'mas kahwin'. Even though I'm no more a blushing bride but it's better late than never!

By the way, hubby is still sad about the lost of his wedding ring. Yep, he lost his platinum wedding band about 3-4 months after the wedding. Sigh.. It's not his fault though.. It's not our rezeki to keep it, after all marriage longevity does not depend on a ring. I wanted to replace it as a gift for our 1st anniversary but he refused. He afraid to loose something special again so he prefers silver ring since then. Poor hubby..
