I had to write this. Though for purposes of confidentiality i cannot expose to many details or names. Not that i don't want to, but i might get charged for it.<br /><br />Not that it is of any importance other than to me. Me, the only Chinese in my work category in my unit, who was given Chinese New Year leave of 10 days one month before, suddenly had it unceremoniously cut short by 2 days this morning. Perhaps you might say i should be thankful i'm even getting 8 days, which i am, but as i said i'm the only one in my work category celebrating Chinese New Year. So, i who have worked through Christmas, Hari Raya and Deepavali covering other people, would expect that you give me the weekend which comes together with my weekday leave as an offday.<br /><br />I was probably too naive. Usually when people tell me they will give me less calls next month because i have done extra calls this month, they actually mean it. I have had no problems from housemanship to MO-ship. But being a specialist is a whole different ball game. Seniors have the memory of a fly. They forget what was said if it brings them no benefit.<br /><br />But it seemed weird why my usually hard working seniors would be so calculative over a weekend call. It took a clever husband to point out for me to realize i was the only haematologist to be testing out a new trial 'standby'call implemented this month.<br /><br />Which means:<br />
1. I have 2 days leave robbed from under my nose<br />2. I have to change my return bus tickets (if its still available considering how it's only days from Chinese New Year)<br />3. I have to pay the penalty of changing bus tickets<br />4. I get an extra 2 day weekend call<br />
5. I may never be paid the measly RM85/day they are supposed to pay me (since this is a new system that my bosses are anticipating claim problems)<br />
6. Cancelled pre-planned CNY plans<br /><br />So, being naive i believed it was a mistake by my specialist doing the on call roster that i was to have my leave unceremoniously cut, when in fact it was a deliberate masterplan set up for me as they didn't want to do work without being paid.<br /><br />OMG.<br /><br />I WILL PAY THEM THE RM 85 A DAY EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT CALLED. I JUST WANT TO SPEND MY CHINESE NEW YEAR WITH MY FAMILY, WHICH IS MUCH MORE VALUABLE!<br />
<br />
Is this how low professionals go these days?<br />
<br />
Bravo 1Malaysia. Betrayed for a measly RM170. <br /><br />Let me start planning for my next Hari Raya/Deepavali/ Christmas holidays. </div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I've alway been a fan of Daiso. Though I know there are many daiso fans out there, I was hard pressed to find any friends around me who were as passionate about daiso as I am. Even if I had been to a Daiso in another shopping centre the day before, Daiso is my must stop centre. Every Daiso is different ya? And there may be slight variations in it's stock.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I thought I was alone till I find some Daiso closed groups on FB. Omg there were people who are definitely more into Daiso than I am!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is there that I discovered how crazy the Maison Clement craze is in Singapore. Stocks sell out half an hour after they restock. People buy in bulk. There are some who queue outside the store before they open! What is this madness!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the view at Daiso Bukit Indah JB over the weekend.</div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In Malaysia there is no such craze. But I can't help but get caught up in the hype. I went to the Sunway Pyramid branch and found after rather detailed searching, two of the Maison designs. One in pale pink and another in a pearly white.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gosh i was hooked. I bought 3 of each, attracting stares from passerbys.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In mid valley I found another 3 designs. You can't imagine how difficult it is to search for them. I blame it on the huge array of products in Daiso. Not all the Maisons are placed in the same place either. They may be scattered throughout the store.</div>
<div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My loot thus far </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The range consists of a pale pink and white series. I personally prefer the pink. But some industrious people have started colouring in the wordings of their maisons and these show up better in the white.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are items in the series. I haven't seen all of them but it seems there's a mail holder, magazine holder, cylindrical tin can, a box in two sizes, some pen holders, a B5 sized tray and a round plastic container.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't even know how I'm gonna use them. What I'm sure of though, is that I have something to look forward to when I go shopping! Redefining purpose in life! Lol! Not really, but it does make life just much sweeter.</div>

If you're here, you probably know that Mansur Gavriel relaunched at 11am EST eg 11pm Malaysian time. This site has been known to be crazy with bags selling out in minutes. Perhaps this is what makes it so coveted.<br />
<br />
I waited patiently refreshing the site ever few minutes. I breath harder. I swear my heart is beating with more purpose.<br />
<br />
The site goes live. I pick my bag.. aaah it's there. I got it woo hoo.. wait a minute i should log in to make the cart out process faster. I fumble with the password at least 5 times. I go back to the site not expecting anything to be still available.<br />
<br />
I click on the bag i want.. sold out. I tried another colour, fumbling to navigate back to the collection page. I receive a text. It's my husband with a print screen of an order confirmation from Mansur Gavriel. He got the bag i wanted *silently screams*.<br />
<br />
So you see, the trick is get your husband to do it. Or at least someone tech savvy with fast fingers.A pro-gamer would be ideal.<br />
<br />
Alternatively you keep trying to buy the bag you want even if they tell you it's sold out. Nothing is final till there's a cross out line over the colours. And with that headstrong determination and because i just waited an hour for the shop to launch (i can't just leave 5 minutes into the site launch), i did just that. And i did manage to go to the payment page of the bucket black/flamma. I didn't purchase it of course.<br />
<br />
But i did realise the lady bags sold out faster than the buckets.<br />
<br />
Dang i must be sartorially behind time again.. 39 minutes into the relaunch and nothing much is left.<br />
<br />
Good night. I'll be smiling in my sleep tonight!</div>

I've left this blog dormant since 2013. Say what?! That year coincides with the birth of my baby. I'm of course not blaming my baby for the lack of updates.I'm blaming my Masters course, which the University, while i was half way through the course decided to elevate to doctorate status. I'm a doctor with a doctorate now. Go figure.<br />
<br />
My new status is in no way affecting the whole point of this blog which is to express my frivolous (some might say bimbotic) side. I've always loved writing as a way of expressing myself so this is my outlet to do so.<br />
<br />
There are also a few other things i like.<br />
<br />
1. Free things (Even if it means having to buy something to get that free thing)<br />
2. Celebrity goss<br />
3. DIY ideas (that are as simple as possible)<br />
4. Home decor<br />
5. Overall health improvement ideas<br />
6. All things cute<br />
7. Beauty<br />
<br />
So i guess this is me saying i'll be blogging again.<br />
<br />

I just came back from the Gardens Midvalley today where i saw this offer which i'm inclined to share.<br />

<br />
The poster says it all. This is exclusive to Borders The Gardens though. This came at the right time since i was looking for a good body oil, I find the oil really moisturizing and non-sticky (the most important feature for me).<br />
<br />
The girl at the payment area told me i could chose from Rose, Lavender, Lemon and Avocado. I chose Avocado since Lavender, Lemon and Rose were such typical scents. I wanted to try something new. Turns out she was slightly misinformed about the scents.<br />
<br />
The actual scents were:<br />
<br />
<ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 30px 30px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px none; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Absolute Dreams</strong> (a blend of lavender, sandalwood, cedarwood and orange).</span></li>
<li style="border: 0px none; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>In Love Again</strong> (a blend of neroli, vanilla and sandalwood).</span></li>
<li style="border: 0px none; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Memories</strong> (a blend of rose, geranium and ylang ylang).</span></li>
<li style="border: 0px none; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Pick Me Up</strong> (a blend of mandarin, petitgrain, rosemary and lavender).</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
I chose In Love Again without knowing.I rather like it though since the scent was rather nondescript and non overpowering. The cashier lady was right about one thing though. It did contain avocado oil.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Till stocks last. Not too sure how much stock they have, but there were around 20 bottles on the counter.</div>

My pregnancy wasn't too bad. It was the post partum that was very eventful.For completeness sake though, i thought i'd document this part here too.<br />
<br />
Like most newlyweds, my husband and i decided we didn't want children so fast.So one year passed with us happily leading a family life as a couple (2 people can be a family also wat). Then i decided i wanted to pursue a master's degree to specialize in pathology, hence the start of a long distance relationship for a good one year. I was in KL and he was in Slim River. We would take turns travelling to meet each other on weekends. Sometimes he came weekdays too It was about then that i decided it was time to have a child. It was logistically difficult. Ovulation kits did not work for me (never got a positive test before!) due to my irregular periods. Hence i never quite knew when i'd be ovulating. I did an ultrasonographic evaluation just in case. I was worried i had cysts in my ovaries. Thankfully structurally i was normal. Pressure off me somewhat. Anyway at the time i was blaming my lack of weight (i weight 40kg) , hyperthyroidism (technically should not be a problem).. etc.. but thinking back perhaps we never really tried. To cut short an already long story (grandma syndrome kicking in sorry for the longwindedness) we conceived after 2 and a half years of marriage at a rather unfortunate time.<br />
<br />
My early pregnancy symptoms were the usual. But of course i only felt all the symptoms after i knew i was pregnant. Dunno psychological effect or what.<br />
<br />
When i found out i was pregnant, i was in Jb staying with my parents and brothers, with my husband working in Slim River. Had morning sickness except it was more like all day sickness. I would retch and feel nauseous the whole day buy it was worse at night. I would vomit once a day after dinner. Especially if dinner was late. Late meaning later than 6pm. You could see what a nuisance i was to my parents who usually ate at 7pm- 7.30pm. It was a particularly trying time.<br />
<br />
As i was in a post graduate programme, there were times where i had to travel to KL from JB for presentations. Not only was i already having 'all day sickness', now i have to add on the risk of possible motion sickness? I was terrified of the prospect of puking on the bus during the 4 hour journey as not only is it embarrassing, i don't want to be stinking up the whole bus with the other poor passengers having nowhere to run.<br />
<br />
Also because of my postgraduate programme, i moved to KL for continuation of my course. By that time my husband had tansferrred to Selangor. So now i get to live with mu husband (yeah!) but i missed my family in JB terribly. Throughout my pregnancy, i walked 15-20 minutes daily to work while i was working in HUKM.<br />
<br />
We ate out daily and i would just pray i don't puke in public. One particularly gross moment was while we were having dinner at Ying Ker Lou in Pavillion. I had just finished a huge bowl of 'Lei Cha'. I was stuffing my face with the stuff since i had not eaten 'lei cha' for a long time. (I ate it rather regularly in Slim River). Only When i had completed eating did i realise i had overfilled my stomach with food. I started retching, and my husband rather alarmingly (he was by now used to my vomiting episodes in public or otherwise) asked me if i needed to go to the toilet. He also helpfully pointed out that the toilet was located conveniently nearby. I was burping a lot at the time, and said rather unconvincingly that i was okay.<br />
<br />
One minute later i started retching again rather violently and i was scurrying out of the restaurant cupping my hand to my mouth. I think during that 1 minute dash t the toilet some vomit had escaped my mouth onto my cupped hand. I dashed into a booth and vomited ALL MY FOOD (what a waste of money). Luckily this was pavillion and they had ample toilet cubicles so i didn't have to run into a claustrophobic toilet with a toilet line. Still, i think i did scare a little boy who was in the toilet at the time as i dashed while retching into a booth (he probably wished he could have gone to the men's room instead).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh, ya.. that probably was not the most embarrassing moment. I now recall a day during the fourth month of my pregnancy where an unsuccessful dash to the toilet at a certain Tesco in Cheras left a <strike>pool</strike> trail of vomit from the food court to the toilet. Yeah.. that was probably the most embarassing.The cleaner who thankfully very efficiently mopped up the mess even before i was done with my vomiting in the toilet, was rather forgivingly blase about it. No bitching (not that i heard anyway, unlike during <a href="http://caroline-ho.blogspot.com/2007/11/vommitous.html">this incident</a>), nor evil eyes my way. In fact they were rather expressionless while i <strike>ran</strike> sauntered from the crime scene.</div>
<br />
It did not help that i had postings in various places and that i don't drive.For 1 month i was doing attachments in HUKM, 3 months in the National Blood Centre and 3 months back in KL for clinical haematology posting.Thank God Jin Hui got me some really good quality compression stockings that made standing for extended periods in the ward more bearable.Appreciation from a specialist was also a welcome motivation for slogging in a department which i was supposed to be on 'attachment' in. Two pathology MO's manning a medical ward by themselves due to medical MO shortage for a rather substantial amount of time? Go figure.It was a great learning experience though, much better than just passively following ward rounds.<br />
<br />
Somehow we managed to pull through.My husband was my pillar of strenght for much of my pregnancy period. Though he's not the type of husband who would go the extra length to satisfy a pregnant woman's food cravings, he was very practical and anticipated my needs before i knew it myself.<br />
<br />
Nothing though (even if i had helped deliver a few babies as a medical student and house officer) could have prepared me for the adventure that was delivery.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>

The reason for my long hiatus from blogging was because i got pregnant, had some complications, delivered had more complications, breastfed, more complications, work, cue even more complications.<br />
<br />
So you see, i've been pretty knackered dealing with the lethargy of pregnancy and the multitudes of complications. A new mother would probably be cursing if she experienced one complication of pregnancy. I on the other hand seem to be encountering everything in the medical books, one after another. Dear God please stop training me anymore. I think i'm mentally strong enough now, but thank you anyway.<br />
<br />
I really want to one day write my ordeal down and really purge it out of my system. Also, if i quarrel with my girl in the future i can direct her to the webpage.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the main purpose of my blog post, to introduce to you baby Kim.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's been ages since i've blogged and for a good reason too! But the reson is so long i'll reserve it for the next blog post. What i want to blog now is so that you know the wonderful offers in Kinokuniya at the moment. I was scratching my head as to which one to buy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tatler Malaysia August 2013 magazine comes with a Linden Leaves Radiant Exfoliating wash apparently full sized and apparently worth RM118(based on theSkintopic facebook page). Offer while stocks last in Kinokuniya. But when i saw the freebie (there was a sample at the counter), it looked more like a sample size to me.It was a pretty decent sample size though and the colour of the exfoliating wash looked really interesting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU9MliOQLdUX3wT44VRz4ttjmMl203Og0lgq9b8NkDctCqXq2Kk-HaTSkQbjIVPmk-fmQasIpSETVxm1bR2oHeBZPKrjE2W8M_CGvEHfhwmGU7PuObQc-_QOicj2NpCcxfokfd4Kds72kg/s1600/tatler+linden.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU9MliOQLdUX3wT44VRz4ttjmMl203Og0lgq9b8NkDctCqXq2Kk-HaTSkQbjIVPmk-fmQasIpSETVxm1bR2oHeBZPKrjE2W8M_CGvEHfhwmGU7PuObQc-_QOicj2NpCcxfokfd4Kds72kg/s640/tatler+linden.jpg" width="452" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But then the Cosmetic Surgery and Beauty magazine August/September issue comes with a dr.dream andvanced anti-aging starter and travel kit worth RM550. Granted this magazine is RM5 more expensive than the Tatler, it still made more sense to go with dr dream which is apparently from a well known Korean cosmetic surgery group. There were no examples of the starter kit displayed, but since it's limited to one per customer i figured it must be good.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgknDko2K3-_ekzVpG4AAwpE6CIrnKMIhGAyhzn3WNznOQALkmFlIY6qtRuQC7N5EH_Gowa73nF50tujWRfg92LJ-MbLhNoO-RRcHafRzCvfrVawvnBzgRDXEZY44rGmPaVlzA-dRgNibeJ/s1600/dedream2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgknDko2K3-_ekzVpG4AAwpE6CIrnKMIhGAyhzn3WNznOQALkmFlIY6qtRuQC7N5EH_Gowa73nF50tujWRfg92LJ-MbLhNoO-RRcHafRzCvfrVawvnBzgRDXEZY44rGmPaVlzA-dRgNibeJ/s640/dedream2.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

It has been a while since i blogged, but i guess I just had to share this good deal. Went to Borders at Midvalley yesterday and bought a Malays magazine called Eh!, mainly because of this promotion:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Tm5XjxnC_yjWudWQp9CyRJZ6l26Fe_KkuD3yHoJw_UhtAJO7LveG2lZOfeXeR8MO5zk3uA9_iyVqVZ9dkQ3KuWk_02ZMqfd2j3VmTEc4Al3lIkRKUcTtWeG6kBzwcUoRge8apWB1sC4r/s1600/541387_10151352425891647_2125533506_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Tm5XjxnC_yjWudWQp9CyRJZ6l26Fe_KkuD3yHoJw_UhtAJO7LveG2lZOfeXeR8MO5zk3uA9_iyVqVZ9dkQ3KuWk_02ZMqfd2j3VmTEc4Al3lIkRKUcTtWeG6kBzwcUoRge8apWB1sC4r/s640/541387_10151352425891647_2125533506_n.jpg" width="452" /></a></div>
<br />
Yup, if you reach there fast enough, you buy a RM 7 magazine and you get products from Neutrogena worth RM97.80. It's a great way to try a product to see if it suits you in the long run. As of yesterday night there was still stock available.<br />
<br />
But please don't go and hoard millions of copies cos the expiry date for these products are August and September 2013. The firming lotion is a 40ml bottle.<br />
<br />
At the same time there was also a NuYou magazine promotion going on.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It looks like a pretty good deal too, but i gave this a miss.<br />
<br />
Apparently NuYou is also running the Neutrogena promotion in Kinokinuya. Not sure if there is still stock left though.<br />

It wasn't till i mentioned jay's new album to my 21 year old brother that i realize, there are some people who have no idea his album is out! Can't blame them though. Though the songs are playing on the airwaves, the physical album has yet to reach Malaysian shores, unless of course you had them pre-ordered online.<br />

Here are some of the music videos from his new album which are already out.<br />

I've been shopping whenever i feel stressed, which is a lot actually, and have accumulated a few pictures of what i bought. Good buys? Bad buys? You decide.<br />
<br />
Maybelline angel blush in coral. Okay i'm naming it by memory. I have not used a blush in ages and poring through Japanese magazines just make me feel like trying the whole under the eye blush tip, so i bought this.<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The colour is great for my not too fair not too dak skin tone.<br />
<br />
Then i went to Daiso, and God knows i can't control myself there. I bought this cute Sanrio Kiki and Lala landyard.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is possibly the first landyard i've ever bought cos everyone gets free landyards from all over the place, but how often can you find one so pastel pink and cute. RM5 justified? I think so. Bless my bimbotic soul.<br />
<br />
Ramu bottle cola. The original comes in a glass bottle where you pop a marble in it to open it. These Japanese are gimmick geniuses! This one though has no marble. I just bought it cos i'm sick of carrying plastic bottles around. I wanted a tin one.<br />
<br />

<br />
The drink per se though was quite horrible. Tasted like very carbonated bubblegum liquid. I threw away the carbonated water after trying a few sips. I'm just not a bubblegum person. Nice bottle though. It lasted 2 weeks before it became dented.<br />
<br />

I'm really bad at putting on sunscreen regularly, partly because sunscreen can be so sticky! Makes me feel like i need a shower after i apply it most of the times. This Biore one is different. After trying out my brother's gf's sunscreen i immediately went out to purchase one for myself.<br />
<br />

Remember how i mentioned i needed to buy some nice collar clips? I scoured the online blogshops only to find some seling for more than RM10 for very basic looking ones. That's not even inclusive of delivery.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then did the next best thing. I went to an all for RM29.90 shop in KSL city (where they actually let you try before buying- No 'no trying' bulls***), and bought a sleeveless bright red/orange top which comes with detachable collar clips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I also went and bought daily disposable contact lenses in hope that it will be more comfortable than the ones i'm currently using. Plus it's more hygienic and since i don't wear contact lenses everyday, i'm hoping won't be that much of a difference compared to my monthly disposables cost wise.<br />
<br />
So far i only found the hygiene part to be true.<br />

I also decided i needed to buy a toner. Since all toners thus far seem to break me out, i tried going for something a little more high end but at a drugstore price.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So i went to the Johor Premium Outles (JPO) and was recommended to try the Kiehl's Yerba Mate Tea toner. It was heavily discounted. Thus was actually apprehensive buying this.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It turned out to be the best toner i have ever used and the first toner not to make me break out. Maybe i t has something to do with the fact that it is alcohol free. Anyhow, my happiness was shortlived when i found out this product had been discontinued! Hence the cheap price and rather old stock. The one i bought was manufactered in 2011.

It does not break me out. Does not feel overly sticky and i got it at a discount. So far no complaints.<br />
<br />
I've been dealing with a lot of stupid people in higher positions lately, hence the high stress level. Hopefully everything will start sorting itself out and luck will come my way. </div>

I seldom ever buy things online. The first item i bought online was a detachable collar that was way overpriced and i never wore. It was disproportionately too big for me. I hence am really wary of buying items online. Then there are stories of sellers not sending items out and just pocketing the money.<br />
<br />
But i was practically 'forced' to buy this Nicole Ritchie House of Harlow inspired black geometric necklace online, since i could not find a single physical shop selling this necklace.<br />
<br />
I was holding back on buying the necklace so much, the trend of wearing it was already long over before i bought it. But then again i was never much of a trend follower. I'm more of a past trend follower.<br />
<br />
I eyed a few blogshops selling it. A few blogshops were also sold out of this particular piece.<br />
<br />
I finally found a rather new blogshop which offered me the best price for this item. Heck they even threw in a 10% discount.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the said coveted necklace i bought.</div>
<br />

I made sure it was made of glossy black enamel before i bought it since i was apprehensive about how true the picture is to the actual product, and also because I've been seeing a lot of similar necklaces but with matte faux leather surface instead.</div>

I bought it for RM20 including delivery, which i feel is a really fair price.However it is not without it's flaws. There is a small area where the gold paint had chipped off -_-'' but no complaints though since it's unnoticeable if i turn it the other way.</div>

It's a really versatile necklace that i'm happy to add to my wardrobe.<br />
<br />
Since i'm on the topic though, i want to show you the really cute neko neko ear plug accessory i saw in the same blogshop.<br />
<br />
It goes for RM8 each, and they are seriously mega cute!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I seldom see ear plugs over hanging the body.But then again how does it hang over the phone cover? Hmm..</div>

The English version of Vivi is seriously scaled down from the normally bumper thick Japanese editions, but i'm happy that most of the interesting features are included at a fraction of the price.<br />

But fate had it that I was to spend money that day. Charles and Keith reductions was on a massive sale (in fact every shoe was priced at either RM29 or RM19 (divide by 3 and you would roughly get the US dollar equivalent). Every gorgeous shoe was placed on shelves displayed individually as they would normal priced items. So no digging in bargain bins or anything like that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every shoe it seemed also came in only one size. You try the shoe, it fits, get the other side of the shoe from the salesperson and pay. That particular design is then off the shelves. I cannot tell you enough how i envy the people who went to the shop early. I went to the shop at around 2:30pm, and there was still around 3/4 of the shoes still around.Not too many people too. The salesperson was free to attend to us and the line to pay was short.There was around 1-2 people in front of me when i paid.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Due to <strike>being low on funds</strike> my budget consciousness, i only bought one pair of shoe, and here she is!</div>

I haven't bought magazines for it's freebies in ages but i felt like this one was just calling me. It came out in Kinokuniya probably ages ago but recently popped up in stand alone bookstores. I saw it in one of those individual magazine stores while i was with my husband one day. My husband probably would not approve so i refrained from buying.<br />
<br />
While out with my mom 2 days later, i saw it again at Popular bookstore and finally caved in.<br />
<br />
What do you think of this RM15 buy?<br />

<br />
An irregularity in the crowds.<br />
<br />
If you caught the 5 seconds pan-out to the audience, you would have seen this.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1OoNcxJc4Hs7_l52pEVWaxFY2NQnDec1Z_tU34FIu1FbcrFbFXSgqoqPkLLf_VyCPOcwIzsidxjfQtfYQFinBewqtXnxxgazdbzIfnrRHhFV1Ugdk9d51UkAXjG-CcYhzJ9PefMCffFcf/s1600/80100145646.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="524" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1OoNcxJc4Hs7_l52pEVWaxFY2NQnDec1Z_tU34FIu1FbcrFbFXSgqoqPkLLf_VyCPOcwIzsidxjfQtfYQFinBewqtXnxxgazdbzIfnrRHhFV1Ugdk9d51UkAXjG-CcYhzJ9PefMCffFcf/s640/80100145646.jpg" width="580" /></a></div><br />
Xie XinFang, Lin Dan's wife wearing the Chinese team uniform. The irregularity was not the fact that she was the only one wearing the China badminton squad team uniform in the crowd (syoksendiri like Lin Dan: memang sepadan). The irregularity was the fact that sitting next to her is a familiar face, in the form of Hong Kong/Welsh singer,actress, Karen Mok in shocking pink!<br />
<br />
The next time the camera panned Xie Xin Fang's direction, Karen Mok had undoubtedly made her way away from the focus of the camera's attention (Xi Xin Fang) and changed seats. She appeared to have come to accompany Xie Xin Fang.<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9xQuLr_5oMaQRxD7d38RExi9j0SeZ7e0_6tiXO7p0Sz8K_Sg0WDReoVVF5kJWnIDIU9d7sg32FvV0BT78ONttbBjIUBf0YNDawFtyoIuYT9KL6SUahmDbnDucUOKBqHML-llp1MalGDA5/s1600/20120806111203471.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9xQuLr_5oMaQRxD7d38RExi9j0SeZ7e0_6tiXO7p0Sz8K_Sg0WDReoVVF5kJWnIDIU9d7sg32FvV0BT78ONttbBjIUBf0YNDawFtyoIuYT9KL6SUahmDbnDucUOKBqHML-llp1MalGDA5/s640/20120806111203471.jpg" width="580" /></a></div><br />
The lady who was sitting one seat away to the right of Xie Xin Fang in the first picture, then took over Karen Mok's seat for the rest of the match.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">My question is? When did Karen Mok and Xie Xin Fang become BFF's?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Even more preplexing.What was Eason Chan doing at the match. But most of all why did he cry when Lin Dan won? Or perhaps he was crying for Lee Chong Wei?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Next question: Ok i get it that the camera kept panning Xie Xin Fang because she's the wife of Lin Dan and former Olympic Silver medalist (the commentators don't even know who Karen Mok is), but why U No Pan Wong Mew Chew?<br />

The expectations were amazingly high for a guy who apparently just tore his tendon 2 months ago and lost tamely to his arch nemesis Lin Dan ( loosely translated to English as Zero Egg ) in Beijing 4 years ago. It did not help that the ice cream chain, and nasi kandar shop added to the mounting pressure - promising FREE ice cream to Malaysians if a gold medal was won. Publicity for them obviously (I already have a few friends who expressed their desire for Baskin Robbins to ease the heartbreak), but did anyone think of the man??<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Getting to the finals was already a feat.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The way he played today was the best he has ever played - we couldn't have asked for a more exciting game.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Despite that, luck was on Zero Egg's side, and as usual Zero Egg just had to take off his shirt, run around the stadium, hug his coaches - forgetting the simple rule of sportsmanship - graciousness. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Though Zero Egg won the Gold medal, Lee Chong Wei won many hearts today with his tenacity, and never-say-die attitude.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When he was sat on the court his head slumped on his racket, a million hearts broke. </div>

(Brief translation : He had an injury only about 2 months ago. He did not expect much for himself this Olympic games. He only had 2 weeks to properly train, utilizing painkillers to numb the pain. Getting to the final was out of his expectations. He gave it his all, he had played at 3 Olympics and winning the Silver twice , perhaps it was his fate.

My lack of time for anything but the Olympic games, means I have no new pictures to show and really nothing very much to share except for.. the Olympics. Having the Olympic games in London also mean odd hours for live matches and a very sleepy me the next morning. I've been watching rather religiously, a sport that i only watch during major sporting tournaments like the Olympics- Gymnastics!<br />
<br />
Yeah yeah not exactly a 'sport' to many, but i am simply enamored by the sport. I really don't remember when i started watching it, but i do remember being thoroughly impressed by one Russian gymnast called Svetlana Khorkina. Google her at your own risk though, because with fame and fortune came a few nude photo spreads.<br />
<br />
Anyway, i digress. I usually start watching with no clear favourite and end up rooting for gymnasts i don't know anything about prior.<br />
<br />
The stand out star this time being, half German half Vietnamese, Marcel Nguyen.<br />
<br />
I mean he looks like this!<br />

You might have heard the news. Eight women badminton players were disqualified for purposely 'throwing away' their matches. If not read <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/news/olympics--eight-badminton-players-booted-from-olympics-for-throwing-matches.html">this</a> first.<br />
<br />
Who is to blame for this ugly predicament? Definitely the organizers! First of all these stupid organizers for no good reason decided to give 'underdog' players a better fighting chance by implementing round robin group stage preliminary rounds instead of using the usual 'sudden-death' format. What happens is the players are forced into groups where the top two groups advance into the quarter-finals. On paper, the claim was that the players will get a best of a few games representation. In reality it is a recipe for disaster.<br />
<br />
Do the organizers not want every player to play every game as if it were their last? Implementing the group stage format means, players who have qualified have the luxury to throw away their last matches, the main reason being to avoid competitors that are higher ranked.<br />
<br />
Have the organizers never heard of 'kiasu-ism'?<br />
<br />
Seriously the players job is just to win.<br />
<br />
They can do anything they want to win.<br />
<br />
Even throwing away games.<br />
<br />
Saying things like 'violating the spirit of the games'- i can only say that the organizers are too naive.<br />
<br />
Perhaps also the rewards for garnering a medal is too big not to employ a strategy. A strategy that might end up causing 4 doubles team to lose without even meaning to.<br />
<br />

Phew what a weekend it has been. It's good to know that there are great people to offer support in times of need, in KL as well as in JB.<br />
<br />
With that, settled. It's time for work. Frantically (erm sort of) doing some literature review for my research project (i need some inspiration) while blogging at the same time. That's how good i am at procrastination. I guess Sunday's do that to me.Not too sure whether it happens to everyone. But i definitely feel so very lazy on Sundays.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my recent buys, most of them not surprisingly pinkish..<br />
<br />
Since i was a teenager, i've seen numerous permutations and ads of the Ginvera Marvel Gel, the current one being Green Tea. I've always been skeptical about this product but when i read a UK based beauty blogger raving about this product, i find no reason not to give this Singaporean product a try. Ginvera and Bio-essence is born out of the same company.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The marvel gel that touts to remove blackhead painlessly- the concept if like the FACESHOP blackhead remover grommage- but less messy, and i heard of the Ginvera one first.</div>

After using up the sample sized gel cleanser given free with the Clarisonic Mia (yup post exam i went ahead and bought it and it's been good for me so far), i went ahead and bought something similarly gentle on the skin (since i double cleanse anyway), Cetaphil! A whole big bottle of it. I don't think i'll be running out of cleanser anytime soon.. just when i wanted to go and try Philosophy's Purity cleanser.. Drats!</div>

The whole arm candy craze has gotten to me, hence my first foray (i find it extremely difficult to get anything that looks good on my tiny wrists)- these gamut of ethnic mix from Forever 21 for RM25. I can probably get this for less than RM10 in Cambodia/Thailand/local nightmarket though (kicking self). And would you believe it the colour from the red beaded bracelet runs!</div>

Door hook with pink jewel detail. How it works is it hangs at the top of your door and the jewel portion is the hook to hang your clothes. Simple concept but oh so pretty!</div>

I went on a pink spree in Daiso that day but managed to keep the item count to a limit of 5. I'm so frugal i amaze myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fifth item is this 'sort of pink' Royal Milk Tea - i mean the packaging not the tea. It's tea, in powdered form (I know ..i really don't recommend this) Plus it tastes really bland.</div>
