experiment 626

occasionally (actually quite often) the kid in me comes out to play and i give in. i was always fond of experiment 626 a.k.a. stitch and was comtemplating getting this phone cover when i first saw it. it was pretty pricey so the adult in me said no... today we saw it again for a lot cheaper and managed to bargain it down even more. check out the video... the ears pop out. oh and it stands!!! *claps hand in glee*

sometimes we're just lucky

i just a phone call from D while i was at work and i could hear an excitement in his voice. he asked me if i was busy and if i was in front of my computer and of course i was. i was at work after all ^_^ he then sent me an email, i could hear the eagerness in his voice while he waited till i got it...

it was a link to harvey norman. the nikon J1 was on special and it was 60% off!! D had been eye-ing this camera for me since he realised that it works with our current lenses. apart from the camera on my phone, i always have a compact camera in my bag and when i destroyed it (by smartly flinging it out of my hands on a cliff which landed on a very hard rock o_O), i was thinking of getting a smaller lens so i can carry the dslr in my bag. wasn't a very smart idea plus it would make my handbag even heavier. it so happen we were looking at this camera yesterday but i didn't think i needed another camera and refrained from getting it and then this. how could we not?? oooooo new camera.

four years ago...

D took me to the cliffs at coogee and pushed me off. no i'm kidding ... hahaha >_< ... he proposed. yes, it all happened on april fools day which made it just a little more difficult to have my friends believe me when i told them. it was simple, sweet and suited just for me. when we think back about it, it's hard to believe that we've only been married for such a short time coz it seems like life without each other was a long long time ago.

unlike all our other sundays where we sleep in till noon, today we woke up really really early; and i mean really early. we were up around eight am to go for what was apparently the best buffet breakfast at the hilton hotel. before you think it's some fancy wancy romantic breakfast, it was with our whole bunch of friends and because we have a 2-for-1 voucher ^_^ waking up so early definitely makes the day a whole lot longer. after breakfast, we went shopping in the city and almost... just almost came home with the chanel wallet that i really liked. instead i came home with a new pair of boots. happy proposal anniversary sayang... you made this date sooooo much easier to remember *grin*

never judge a book by its movie

i'm not much of a reader and i think buying books are a waste of space...and money >_< however i do occasionally buy books i've read, enjoy reading and don't mind reading again. that is why i ordered the twilight series (and also it was on our deals so i got it pretty cheap) *grin*. i started reading them all after watching the first movie and just like most of them .... the books are definitely better. good thing i read them after watching twilight, coz if i watched new moon first... i never would have picked them up. collectors set... might as well right?

happy shopping!

zara's coming to australia!

i did my share of shopping over the past week - sample sale, full day shopping at top ryde and a round of online shopping on forever 21. although i'm still waiting for my online stuff to come, my asos items which got lost in the post arrived. asos was really nice, told me to wait a while and when it didn't arrive, they resent my items. so anyways, after much shopping .... i got wind that zara is finally opening their first store on the 21st april. omg! a-shopping, here i come!!

i wonder how they will bring their collections in with the different seasons...

sample sale!

the good and bad working in this industry is obvioulsy the clothes. you're always shopping whether it's a sample sale or a new collection in store O_O i really haven't done any outfit posts in a while. it's coz i feel totally chubby and it would show very obviously in pictures. i'm kinda in denial. hopefully since i have a wedding to attend at the end of this month, hopefully it would motivate me to do something about it *fingers crossed*

note to self: don't try to look cool and try shopping with a cup of coffee and 2 phones in your hand! 

h&m home collection

h&m has a new home collection and is soooooo pretty! the shots make you just wanna be in there and escape from the real world. the best part of it all, i probably don't need any of it but wouldn't mind having everything ^_^ oh h&m... why can't you be any closer to me.

the sitting elephant

with christmas around the corner and the many secret santa/kris kringles we'll be having, we dedicated today to shop for all these items. i never realised how difficult it was to actually buy decent, practical, nice presents at a low budget and its never fun receiving food stuff so we never buy chocolates or sweet. where's the creativity in that? while shopping we ended up shopping for each other and D bought me a new charm for my bracelet. can you tell what it represents???

safety first

when boys buy their toys, it usually requires accessories. in fact, D started buying his accessories even before he bought his bike. hero.... today the rest of his stuff came; the safety stuff... helmet, gloves, knee and elbow guards and these awesome looking pedals. he had ordered them from wiggle which was so much cheaper than getting them here. online shopping is the best!

movies galore..

after a very long and tiring day at work, we headed to jb hi-fi for their late night christmas sale. on the way there i kept getting confused coz it felt like we were going for our thursday late night shopping but it was a wednesday o_O this is what happens when you're just a little too tired. so why so gungho? inception on blu-ray was released today and jb hi-fi was having a 20% sale off everything! spent $65 on four blu-rays. good buys, don't ya think?? can't wait to chill and enjoy the movies.....

out with the old, IS250 with the new

my baby picked up his new baby 2 weekends ago and have been cruising all around town with this ginormous grin on his face. trying to drive it as much as he can (btw - i haven't even drove it yet) after waiting for almost 2 years he finally has the car he's had his eye on. and after much research, he had some mods added to it and it sounds damn ganas! (fierce).... ooooooo it has this low growl and when he revs.... it's fsport baby! the good thing about it when we're just cruising, it's not too loud especially when you are inside the car. not only that, it's totally legal and under warranty. now we no longer honk to catch our friend's attention... we just rev....vrrrrroooooommm! hehe

christmas shopping!

after my first week at work, i realised that i didn't have many dresses i could actually wear to work without tights. and of course wearing them with heels makes them look even shorter. so today i did a little christmas shopping and came home with another pair of shoes, some dresses and a new phone cover. merry christmas to me!!!

the slower you go the more likely you'll crash

i haven't even blogged about a bigger toy (well it's not really a toy) we got last week and D already has a new one >_< we headed to manly today with alex & justin to have a look at scott bikes. one D has been eyeing since those 2 poisoned him into biking. well at least it's a healthy sport, danger is another thing....

at the shop, D test the suspension, took the bike out for a spin.... stopped, discussed it with the boys, took it for another ride, retested the suspension... on and on an on. even i had a go at it, obviously this bike was too big for me but i decided to take a ride anyway. that was phoooarrrrr ... either i'm getting old and overly paranoid that i would fall over or .... hmmm there's not other excuse really. and since i hadn't cycled in a long time, when i wanted to stand the bike, i was looking for a stand like the picture above which apparently no longer come on bikes!! hey, it's been a looooong time since i had a bicycle.

and yes, after all that D came home with a new bike. he was a little worried that it wouldn't fit into the boot and would end up having to buy a bike rack. it only fit if we took out both tyres. so now i'm on my own at home blogging while he's at the carpark with the boys playing with the bike -_-

happy birthday to me!!!

ok ok... this is the final post about my birthday this year.. hahaha i finally received my ver belated birthday pressie from D. we held off any unnecessary spending .... you know just in case. so now that everything is fine and dandy, he got me a marcs bag (not actually for my birthday) and a thomas sabo charm bracelet with some charms....

S is my initial
the snowflake represents the snowflake that i have and what it means to me
the doggie is for gizmo!

now if anyone wants to get me a gift, it's gonna be sooooooo easy!! *hint*hint* hahahaha
