OhmigodOhmigodOhmigod!

*catches my breath*

I'm a firm believer in self-reward. Like, seriously.

I work hard and play hard. We all should know how to loosen up a bit and take off our shoes before plunging into the mud.

Well, you know what I mean.

I can't have everything. So if the little things make me happy, so be it. I'm content and grateful.

Alhamdulillah.

And so I thought of buying myself a birthday gift.

Initially I wanted a new handphone but my BB is still working well despite some issues with the battery which has been already been resolved.

I then decided to buy myself a Cambridge Satchel.

I just don't know why I'm so obsessed with this bag. 

Probably the colour. Or its simplicity. Or its smooth buttery leather.

If my backyard is full of trees that grow money, I'd buy the bag in all colours, sizes and collections. 

Gosh I want it all!

But of course, like I said earlier, I can't have everything I want.

I'm happy enough with my 13" Pink Fluoro Cambridge Satchel!

This baby is oh so gorgeous!

(^.^)

*THE box is finally here!*

*gasp!*

*fainted*

*everyone now: "ooooooh aaaaaaah"*

I'm not a big fan of leather bags but CS is just a perfection! 

It's so buttery smooth and the finishing details are mamma-mia!

I have the best birthday gifts this year!

Syukur Alhamdulillah.

(^.^)

PS. I bought this from PVSC. Check out her amazing shop!

Best 2010 Memories!

Okay, so 2010 is ending and 2011 is really happening anytime soon.

How do I feel?
Hurm, there are ups and downs in my life along 2010.
But I have to admit it's one of the most exciting, fantastic years of my life!
Where should I start?

I remember starting off this blog in late 2009.
*smile*
It was just for fun, not the kind of blogs where I write the happenings of my life all the time.
I just wanted to share my views of the world, what I like and loathe.
And up until this minute I'm still glad I started blogging.

There were two best things happened in 2010.
First, I visited London and Paris.
I know I only wrote first part of the trip and kept procrastinating the other parts but I promise, one sweet day I'll post pictures of the two amazing cities in the world!
London is a shopping heaven and people are so warm and friendly and I so wanna live there!
I wanna go to the numerous museums every week, stroll along Oxford Street every other day and picnic at Hyde Park, just sitting there reading good novels all day throughout summer!
Oh God, what I would give for that to come true!
And Eiffel Tower, Paris? It's Eiffel Tower darlings! It's one of the 'must-go-places' before you die!
I would want to visit Paris again.
Thanks to Air Asia, it doesn't seem too impossible now!
Anyway, the next best thing happened in my year 2010 must absolutely be meeting Adam Lambert!
Oh yes honey and it was the best five minutes of my life!
I got lucky during his Glamnation Tour on the 14th Oct 2010 at Bukit Jalil where I met him backstage before his phenomenal concert started.
I am a huge fan of him and meeting him was not even in my wish list just because I thought it's never gonna happen!
It was a-mah-zing!
Plus, I didn't only meet him, I also won an autographed Glambox!
Schweeet!

*that's me in my purple heels next to Adam!*
*i looked bloated. whatever*
*For Your Entertainment CD, music videos VCD, remixes & a glam mouse pad!*

2010 will also be most memorable because I turn 25 this year.
God, my age is a quarter century. Okay let's not go into details about my age.
hahahaha
Another reason 2010 is a good year is because of the great movies all year long.
Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Parnassus (okay, not so great but Heath Ledger over-the-Everest-top-amazed me!), Nine, Alice in Wonderland, Clash of the Titans, Shutter Island, Prince of Persia, Inception, Takers (Paul Walker!!), Toy Story 3, Rapunzel...
I haven't watched Narnia and The Tourist, by the way.
Will probably do early next year ;)

What else huh? Hurmmm...
Oh I bought my first smartphone, a Blackberry Curve which has been fantastic so far! A reason I have a Twitter account now.
And oh, I bought my first Marc Jacobs!!! *pengsan*
I went to Penang twice and Cameron Highlands thrice this year for holidays. My parents just love CH too much.
I have developed some sort of romance feeling with Chuck Bass. Darn those salmon suit he's wearing! He looked so good in it!
My darling friend Nashima got married. I cried. Her wedding was my wedding of the year ;)
I dreamed of Ian Somerhalder every night. Well, almost every night. But none in those dreams he bites my neck or sucks my blood. I prefer him doing so. muahaha
I bought almost ten pairs of shoes.
And one thing I am so glad happened this year would be passing all my M.Ed subjects. The final semester was the toughest!
*humongous smile*

So what have I not achieved this year?
Love.
Not wanting to be mushy here but it's nice to have someone you're excited to have dinner with or watch movies together. Or just knowing you're loved.
Well, good things are worth waiting for.
=)

This year there's less drama, just more great times with my family and friends.
My nephew is getting smarter these days. He's getting into pre-school next year. Oh please don't grow too fast sweetheart!
I also spend too much 'bonding' times with my friends -karaoke, steamboat, road trip, lepak melepak, gossiping, shopping!

I have a great, fantastic, amazing and wonderful 2010!
I am not yet a millionaire but I am forever grateful.
I thank Allah for everything, for leading the way for me. For all the wonderfull-ness around me. For the blessings HE gives my family and friends. For the strentghs I have in me to go through every fear, worry and sadness. For the rezeki HE showers my family. For my tears and laughters in becoming a better person.
All praises to Allah.

So come quick 2011!
I have nothing to be worried of but to live life to the fullest!
Happy new year everyone!
May you have a blast!
Leave the past behind and look forward for great things to happen!
See you next year!
Cheers!
=)

MyMarcJacobsScreamsEverythingGlamorousAndFabulous!

I mentioned about my first Marc Jacobs purchase here months ago.
The Marc Jacobs Mirror Heart Tote in Gold.
The 'affordable luxury' as Mr Marc Jacobs named the collection
And here's her baby picture!
She can walk now!
I'm a proud mommy.
She needs to be wiped using baby wipes after I take her out. Very hygienic, this girl I tell you.
It may not be the 'Turnlock Faridah' but I'm still happy with my first MJ.
I totally love it! And I always prefer totes because I can throw basically everything in it.
Took me few months saving up and I am so grateful.
In the meantime, more about my favourite bags here.
Okay now my baby wants to be walked around.
Woot woot!

It's not just a bag. It's Prada...

If you ever thought from that title, I actually have bought a Prada, well I can wish nothing more than for it to come true.
Someday.
Anyway, found this when I was looking at new stuff on 'Women's Handbags' on eBay and saw this!
Hilarious!
OMG if there's a Backstreet Boys or Westlife or Britney Spears backpack when I was 12 I swear I'd buy it!
Being 12 is awesome! I need Doc Brown's time machine! Pronto!

My First Marc Jacobs!!!

*giggling*
I bought my very first MJ!
And it's gorgeous, I love it to death!
Pictures are still not taken because I'm still holding the bag.
I even sleep with it!
*can't-stop-giggling*

My New Addiction!

*i'm still addicted to Adam Lambert. thankyouverymuch!*

It's Polyvore!
I'm such a late bloomer, I know.
Only now I start blogging. Only now I start Polyvore-ing.
I only had class until noon today so to avoid being sleepy, I started to make myself busy with the help of the Internet.
=)

So I made a Polyvore set ( I think that's what they call it) out of my current favourite bags.
Let's start clockwise from the left, shall we?
The first two are the famous Hermes Birkin, in black croc and tan ostrich.
Almost every Hollywood celeb digs Birkin.
And Victoria Beckham might have the whole collection! She carried different Birkin all the time!
I don't dare to start on the price.
-_-

Next is my dream bag.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Total Turnlock Faridah.
I don't like it in leather because it's gonna be slouchy. I prefer the shining patent leather.
And I prefer red.
I can be real clumsy and comot so I try to stay away from anything beige or white.
This MBMJ costs around RM1.3K.
Ok lah, achievable sikit.
=P

Then we have Miu Miu Matelasse Coffer Leather Hobo Bag.
*sheesh, what a name for a bag*
Made of lambskin.
Exquisite.
Gorgeous.
Costs you RM6K.
*sigh*

Last but not least, we have another MBMJ.
This is the Mirror Heart Tote.
Adorable kan?
I want it in every colour!
I love tote because it's spacious, you can basically dump everything in.
From water bottle to lotion to makeup bag to notebook and pen.
I have the habit of throwing everything in and then torture myself when I need to find my car keys.
There's time where I would bring a pair of flip flops in my tote in case of emergencies.
This isn't that pricey, only around RM600.
Achievable juga ni.
=)

Anyway, my priority at the moment is not handbags.
I want to 'make up' Betty a bit.
So has to save up to achieve that.
But I sooo have weaknesses in buying branded bags online because you can pay by installments.
Who can say no to that?
I'd have to start on my 'no, no, no' mantra.
Very, very soon.
