I seem to be buying a lot of hair and nail stuff.

Went out for lunch at Hong Kong Kim Gary restaurant in Queensbay Mall with the whole family (plus baby) on Friday. It's nice to be all together again, still under one roof.

It's comforting. Which is why I never wanna leave home! I shall attend both college and uni in Penang and then work here too, mwahahaha! Terrorize my parents forever :D














I had the really delicious Baked Spaghetti in Twin Sauce with Chicken Wings. One side was cheesy and the other side tasted kinda like pasta but not quite. Mmm!

Then me, my sisters together with the baby convened to Elianto and Face Shop where I bought more nail polishes!


The RM1 (B$0.40) Elianto nail polish!! It's part of the "Elianto Nail Color @ RM1" promotion that lasts from November to January. From 11 - 24 December, the colour is black. Original price: RM5.


It's called #40 Twilight Zone. I needed a new black polish cause my Silkygirl one is getting too thick from all the Konad-ing so I was delighted!


From Face Shop: BK902 (the silvery glitter one) and a bottle of topcoat.


I initially thought the topcoat was discounted to RM6.90 which is cheap. Then the cashier told me it's only RM3.90! Wah wtf, really like stealing man this!! Where in the world can you find topcoat for RM3.90/B$1.60 you tell me now!!!

Which is why I wanna go back and buy a few more bottles even though I've already bought so many new polishes that they can no longer fit into the pouch that I brought along. I came with 12 bottles and now it's 19! Forced to dump them all into a highly unchio Watsons plastic bag -_-"

Yet I'm still planning to buy another Elianto nail polish, lol! And more Konad plates... and fake nails! Which I realize are very useful because I can pre-make Konadicures and wear them when I go out then take them off when I go to school. Reuseable!

I also bought even more hair ties and hair clips in excited anticipation for my new straight hair and fringe!


These blue clips are from Brands Outlet, 3 pairs for only RM6.90! And will match my school uniform perfectly.



Die die also I still cannot NOT buy this pair of pink polka dot clips from Sinma which cost RM4.90. I just had to have them! So bloody chio.



Then also randomly decided I wanted a hair tie I saw from a few days ago cause my sister was paying anyway, hehe.


A sparkly red bow hair tie for RM6.90!




It looks omfg-gorgeous when tied up into a ponytail. So happy!

And please celebrate with me, I bought my 3rd item of clothing this year! (The other two were my bridesmaid's dress in March and my new jeans). I randomly went into F.O.S. wondering if they still had the "I'm not short, I'm just fun-sized" shirt that Maria bought for Jia Yee but they didn't.

They did however have some which said "I'm fun-sized" and "Short and fun", but not that nice. Then I saw this really pretty black Elle top with a sequined neckline and was like, what the heck, try on for fun. It turned out to be freaking gorgeous! So I bought it in red for CNY! :D

No photos of that, sorry. You'll just have to wait till CNY next year to see it. Lol.

I also tried on these really attention-grabbing sequined tank tops in red and white! And omg, they were so nice on me! But my sister refused to buy it for me cause she said I would have nowhere to wear it to. True also.


This is the white/silver one. The red one (which is totally chioer) is hanging up on the hook.

My nails are all naked, buffed and filed to OCD-perfection and it's time for a new Konadicure! So do you think I should make a Konad blog? Or not? See, I'm so considerate that I ask for opinions :)

Shopping is the best therapy.

For monthly cramps! (And Panadol too la, of course.)

Went shopping at Queensbay Mall on Saturday for the first time since I got back to Penang, even though it hurt sooo bad. But I'm glad I did because I'm in love with my new purchases!

My sister and I only had RM100 to share between the two of us, but you wouldn't believe how we managed to stretch our money! Some very trusted shops indeed did not fail me, price and goods-wise.

The first thing I bought was hair accessories at Brands Outlet! Brands Outlet (part of the Padini Group) has like really cheap sunglasses, statement tees, shoes, belts, accessories and hair stuff. And clothes too la, but I never bother with them.

I bought this uber chio Juicy Couture-ish hair scrunchy! I haven't worn hair scrunchies in a year but I intend to use them again once I get straight hair.







Cute and preppy bow hair scrunchies! The pink one caught my eye first and I bought the blue one with my school uniform in mind.







And some plain rainbow-coloured hair ties.



Next are the nail polishes! You can never have too many :D These first two are from Face Shop, a shimmery glam pink (PP407) and gold (GL112).











This third one is from Sinma. Silver! Which I hunted the whole mall for.











Anyway, guess how much were the Face Shop nail polishes?? I bet you can't! I'll just tell you.

ONLY RM3.90 EACH!!!

Like omgwtfbbq right?! That's only B$1.60!! Cause the original price is RM5.90 but they had Christmas promotion. I told the sales assistant it's like stealing! :D I feel like going back and buying more!

But OH, while on the topic of Face Shop... guess how much they're selling the eyelash curler that I bought for B$3.90 in Brunei? RM19.90!! :O Told my sister you have to be smart and know what items to buy in which country! Lol.

The Sinma polish is RM8.50, but that one nevermind la, cause it was SO hard to find that particular type of silver that I wanted. Opaque and chrome, not translucent and shimmery.

And last but not least, THE BELT!! I went into so many shops looking for a belt, but in every shop, there's guaranteed no nice blacks ones, or worse, no black at all!

Then we were walking to Momoe to look at the shoes my sister wanted, when we passed the store display of Pots-1. And on one of the mannequins was the most gorgeous black bow wide stretch belt evah!

I immediately stopped walking, turned in and went to dig in their belt section. The black was no longer on the rack (confirmed been bought) only brown and white, but luckily they had more stock in the store room. I bought it on the spot.









It's like omfg-gorgeous loh! And for a very reasonable RM23.90 only. Heck, I consider it cheap! In Brunei where can find such a nice belt for only B$10?! I wonder why I didn't look in Pots-1 earlier, because I bought a nice silver belt from there before. So from now on, Pots-1 will be my one and only destination for belts!

And the other day, my sister picked up my Nivea cherry lip balm in Guardian for me (only RM7.90, in Brunei I think it's B$5.90, wtf right! I love Malaysia shopping), just wanted to show you how much chioer the new packaging is compared to the old one.







I love it! And this new one is even glossy! I can't live without my Nivea cherry lip balm. The one day that I forgot to wear it to school, people kept telling me I looked so pale and asked if I was sick! Lol! My lips are naturally pale lah, unfortunately.

And the reason I really love shopping in Malaysia?


At Jusco.


At Tesco.

The wonderful customer service! Cilaka, in Brunei so hard to find efficient and friendly salespeople! Always giving the chao chao face and work so slowly while sms-ing on your Nokia phone and trying to speak to me in Bruneian -__-"

New jeans, new Blairband, newborn.

Hello from Penang! Can you believe it's December already? Heck, where did the year go! It's almost time for me to get to work on my Christmas blog layout. Aiyoyo, not looking forward to that. At all.

Feels good to be back home, one big happy family under one roof again (with the addition of the baby la). Can't remember the last time we were all together, besides my sister's wedding in March.

Anyway, bought some stuff while I was in KL. On kinda a tight budget this trip, so most notably it's just new skinny jeans and a Blairband (finally!).



I worship at the altar of Toms Girl jeans! But yes, these are the too-loose skinny jeans I was rambling on about on Twitter :( I finally realized last night that I was so pissed off because I was moodswing-y! And we all know what that means. Well, the girls do anyway.



Full price RM119.90 but I bought it at 50% discount, RM59 something la, you do the math.



The back pocket design matches my nails, purple!



Big photo of my bum bum! I know you'll probably say the jeans don't look loose but they are! Look closely (at my legs, not my butt, doofus) and see the wrinkled jean material? Not supposed to be like that! More importantly, the calf part which you can't see is super baggy like boot cut jeans. And they're supposed to be skinny jeans m'dear -_-"



Diva is omg-awesome! Gotta love them Aussies. Saw a picture of one of their bow Blairbands in the November issue of Cleo and wanted it immediately. I can't tell you how hard it is to find a Blairband I like. Often the bow is an ugly shape, or too big/too small.



Et voila! Finally, my very own hot pink bow Blairband! Too be honest, I don't like oversized bows or designs that are too wild, which is why I like this one.

And if you're so trend-illiterate as to be wondering why I call it a Blairband, it's because the craze was started by Blair Waldorf (fictional character, but so what) on Gossip Girl. Don't believe me, just go Google "blairbands".



Nah, see. I don't lie.


I got it for a mere RM15! Woohoo, don't you just love bargains? Cause I do!

Wondering what it looks like on me? I was too malas to fix my hair and wear it, so I tried it on someone with no hair!

 Baby Ava! :D But I think from the expression on her face, she doesn't really like it. And she's bald cause my sister and anek Joe shaved her head. Botak bebeh!

Okay, so she's not a newborn. I can't really title my blog post "New jeans, new Blairband, 3-months old baby" right? It'll sound damn stupid! And yes, the adorable little bundle of joy greeted her 3rd month on November 27th :)

Now for more fat baby photos! Because who doesn't like baby photos?







She loves making faces when she's bored.


The pout.



The smirk to the left.



The smirk to the right.

I never do know how to end my blog posts... um, bye?

Oh yeah, last but not least, a birthday shoutout. Happy 20th birthday to Rachel Chin! Best wishes and God bless! Have a blast :)
