Today I'm happy-happy, wearing super comfy and casual attire to work. I do not care, coz I'm already in a holiday mood. Black skinny jeans, black spag top, white cardigan, long necklace, black chunky ring and white ballerina flats. So comfy! Ahhhh....

Was at Topshop again yesterday and bought this skirt. So cute, I couldn't resist and in size XS! I seem to be scoring pretty well with the smaller sizes lately *happy*

Got bored of the clothes in my wardrobe. Packed another bag and passed to mom to be given away.

After work, I decided to do some shopping on my own.

Topshop

Another basic. I wanted a long sleeve white basic to be worn as it is or under a vest or jacket or spaghetti strap sundress or, the possibility is endless. And this one was on 50% off too.

This is in size M. Usually I like my top a little looser so I tried M first but it looked quite horrible and shapeless.

Now you know why I always like to get my pants from DP/Ms Selfridge/Topshop.


A black pair of Skinny Black Jeans in UK Size 10. It's an "S"! All these while I thought UK 10 is an M and I have been buying pants from these shops at size 10 and TODAY, I paid extra attention to the sizing charts in the fitting room and hey, I just discovered that UK 10 is a wonderful "S"! Family and I were at Midvalley today by the way.


And on top of that, my skinny black jeans, RM163 was on 50% off! Length as usual, was perfect. Plus, shopping with mommy always means she takes the bills. Hahahaha! Hey, she insisted ok! Thanks mom

I read this late last nite and it really touched my heart. As I wiped the tears away from my eyes, I felt I should blog about it simply because such a beautiful story should be let known to all.

Little friend of a lifetime: The heartbreaking friendship between two tiny girls with cancer.

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is called Insanity.

I don't sing karaokes. I just don't sing. Period.

Eversince I made that declaration outloud, the bf has been trying to get me to sing for as long as I can remember. Below are some of the lines which I remember him using:

So last night, he so suddenly decide that I should sing Wishin' and Hopin' - Ani DiFranco's version (yes the one in My Best Friend's Wedding) but I don't want to.

"I want *cough*FromThisMoment*cough*. I said it very quickly and you should see how his eyes gleefully shot right up. "YOU WANT WHAT SONG AGAIN?! *huge grin*"

"From This Moment la dammit! Fine, I'll sing." So we both found a website which has full versions of instrumental songs PLUS lyrics, which means die, I just can't escape already.


1st song: From This Moment by Shania Twain
Struggled like mad at this part: My dreams came true because of you (those who know this song, will know how high the notes are here)

2nd song: Apologize by One Republic
HAHAHA! Like wtf right? But I so ace this song man! Even the bf who is a champion singer (he seriously is. have you seen him in karaoke?!) can't pull this song! Wahahhaha! Trashed him. You tell me that you need me then you go and cut me downnnnnn

3rd song: No One by Alicia Keys
Woohoooo, have to backside itchy la! Know that this a killer song and YET I gatal went ahead and suggested this. But it was damn fun! I was hitting the high notes like so cacat but it was fun! You and me together, through the days and nights. I don't worry cause everything's gonna be alright.

We stopped singing like baboons when the door unlocked and Mr Tay's brother came home.

I still shy mar

So, yesterday I bought a very nice pair of almost-jeans in black from Dorothy Perkins. Originally tagged at RM163 and it was on 50% off! As I searched thru the rack, I was praying hard "pls pls pls... let there be my size" coz usually during sales period, only the bigger sizes are left on the racks, like size 12, 14, 16, etc.

To make searching easier, hangers in DP are tagged with size numbers and I was crestfallen when there wasn't my size spotted on the hangers. But, I damn 'mm kam yuen' so what did I do? I diligently checked one by one, the size tag on each of the pants hanging on the rack and true enough, I found ONE PAIR of my size! So happy can die!!!!!!!!! I then had a "heaven in the skies opening up with light beaming down on me" moment. The moral of the story is: there is always some sales assistant who will screw up while sorting out apparels according to sizes on the hangers.

I like pants from Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge, Naf Naf and Zara. I think they have the nicest cuts coz since I'm quite tall, I usually don't score well with the local brands as those pants are catered for shorter women I guess. Best of all, I need not alter the length of my pants like how some of my gfs always have to. I have a pair of white almost-jeans from Naf Naf which I love till today and has lasted me almost a good 4 years. Good money invested

I am wearing the black almost-jeans today and I have gone to the ladies for about 5 times already... just to swoon over the nice cutting and also to check on the butt which when in these pants, has magically transformed from the size of a hippo to the size of a bowl! Ok, maybe 2 bowls. Hehehe!

Cheers to nicely cut pants!

It's funny how The Most Anticipated Call, that you have been waiting all your working life, can just destroy all your hopes and dreams within seconds.


Caller: Some headhunter.
Position: I'm not too keen.
Company: BAT - for the benefit of my mom, it stands for British American Tobacco. Means I'm supposed to encourage smoking, ma.
Persuasive point: "This is a global position! You deal with the global countries like the Latin American countries!"
My point (which of course I only said in my head): But I deal with people from overseas daily too. Is that such a great thing?


It boils down to my own principles. I can't accept a job that I personally do not advocate. Something that I've been trying to get the bf to cut off which in turn, was asked/challenged to entirely clear my CC debts in exchange to go 100% tobacco free. What a pig.


So, now it's back to more searching and waiting for the next Most Anticipated Call.
