Hairdo

My first experience to set my hair before a dinner.. recommended by my colleague, June, we went to Jazmon hair salon. Coco tagged along too..haha..i was the one who dragged her there actually. But she didn't resist my persuasion. :p We had fun.. watching June doing touch-up for her hair. She was there earlier than both of us but our hair were done faster. :p And here are my hair after wash and blow-dry.

I just want to look natural, so my hairstylist did a few big curls only. I was quite satisfied with the service cuz the price is quite reasonable..RM16.00 only. :) I also bought a nice pair of black heels to compliment with my black dress. Searched at Vincci but couldn't find one which I feel comfortable with. Didn't expect to get this nice pair of shoes from Orioli (kinta city) at RM47.90 only. Got 20% discount, hehe....

ABC Pet shop

Went to ABC pet shop in downtown Ipoh. They have lots of exotic pets such as Sphynx cat, monkeys, funny reptiles..saw one small albino turtle and took a photo of it. But not sure what it's called in english.. just know in Cantonese, 'sui yu'.

And these tortoises are trying so hard to climb on top of each other! :D I do not study about their nature so i'm not so sure why they do that..haha..looks funny to me.

Mother's Day

How did you spend your Mother's Day? I had dinner with mom and our Filipino maid, Agnes, on Sat night. Her children are all in the Philippines. I brought them to In Cafe, but the restaurant has moved. Then we drove back to town and stopped by at Capucino, a newly opened cafe opposite Elim Gospel Hall. It was a blessing in disguise as it was raining heavily when we arrived at In Cafe but the rain has subsided when we got to Capucino cafe. We had set dinner and everyone was happy with the food. It was a good outing.

On the actual day of Mother's Day, i bought two bouquets of flowers at Ipoh Parade. One for mom and one for my aunt, who has given my family shelter ever since my parents divorced. She's like a mother to me too. Since her children are not around..i need to do something to make her happy, right? :P

So here are the flowers that I gave them..lilies for my aunt and sunflowers for my mom. Mom is my sunshine. :D I sang her the first line of the song too..haha..

Mission: Search for insect killer

My colleague asked me to look for insect killer at any shopping mall i go to during the weekend cuz i usually will go to Kinta City or Ipoh Parade with my dad during the weekends. Well...my search in Tesco Extra (Pengkalan) was in vain. They do not sell such equipments. I was at Jusco today. Below are what I found..

From left: MYR59.90, MYR49.90, MYR19.90

From left: MYR39.90 and MYR165.00

Couldn't find any insect killer in Jusco. We need something like those used in restaurants. Mom suggested to check out those shops which sell restaurants equipments such as fridge, freezer..or electrical shop. Ya..maybe we will do that.

shanghai expo

Everybody is so excited of this expo and it was the topic during our lunch these days as one of my colleagues are going to visit Shanghai in June. I wish I can go..but..ya..but..my money is tight. I can't simply spend in order to save enough money for building a family. :P

What's interesting about this expo? Come visit this link..it's an interactive webpage. http://en.expo.cn/index.html#&c=home

You can browse through all the pavilions on the net. Haha..no need to go there personally, can view all the beautiful buildings already. Why spend so much? :P Which pavilion do you like? Hmm..if i go there, i definitely will visit China's, Poland, Iceland, Czech..Austria. But maybe only take a few pictures outside the pavilion. hehehe..the ticket is so expensive. Might as well spend some time visiting famous places in Shanghai!

Alright..so where should I go for my holidays? .....

wedding Gowns

wedding gowns that I like....

i have yet to see such beautiful designs in my little hometown..

Rose gold wedding bands (part2)

hehe...these are some of the rose gold wedding bands that I found on the web. Nice huh? :D

New rOoM

Mom rearranged the room..now it looks fresh and tidy.

Thankful for her as she does everything for my well-being.

Wonder how she managed to move the furnitures and cleaned everything all by her own...those stuffs aren't easy to move. Now my bed is nearer to the aircond and fan. It was blocked by some cupboards before and at night, i feel warm and uncomfortable.

Thanks mom!

Rose Gold as Wedding bands (part 1)

I'm fascinated with this new type of gold in the jewellery industry. The rose colour is romantic and very suitable to both my fiancé and my skin tone. We have chosen a combination of rose gold and white gold for our wedding bands. We do not have much knowledge on this type of gold. So, i decided to press some buttons and google it. And i found this :-

Rose Gold Jewelry is usually a mixture of pure yellow gold with a high percentage of copper. The colour of rose gold jewelry may intensify with age due to a slight tarnishing of the copper. With 18 karat rose gold jewelry the ratio of gold is 75% to 9% silver and 16% copper to produce a rose gold and 75% gold, 4.5% silver and 20.5% copper to produce a rich red gold.

We did not do much survey and I hope we made the right decision at Lorenzo Jewellery. The designs are beautiful. Mine was crafted with a row of diamonds (0.24ct). Slightly off our budget..but his was cheaper than our budget. So..the total price is still alright. However, we passed by Diamond & Platinum and saw their range of wedding bands, and I was slightly disappointed that we did not do our homework properly. The price is also more competitive. Lorenzo displayed a rather too high price and gave us 60% + 20% discount which we were really happy to have. But after paying, we think they marked up the price too much.

Anyhow, we have bought our wedding bands and shall be happy about it. After looking at the bands and trying on a few more times, I fall in love with them again. :)

souvenirs from Taiwan

My colleague is such a sweetheart, remembering us during her vacation in Taiwan. She brought back tiny little glass deco for us. :) aren't they cute? I was amazed and excited over these 'toys'. Had captured them in photos just in case anything happen to them. The green hippo is mine. Nice huh? :P

 

These are my colleagues' with the hippo. Very cute huh? (hippo so fat, fell to the front! hahahaha!)

Of course, other than these glass deco, there were snacks already filled our stomachs. :P yummy!

frustrated

I just want to shout out! And there's no place, the blog came to my mind..

"what's wrong with her?! Why is she picking on me all the time?! Stop ordering and ask politely.. you want us to understand your life out there? show a bit of interest in our lives too! Don't act as if you know it all and point your finger, accusing people..very disappointing. I want to get out of here.."

dentist in Ipoh

I've been living in Ipoh as long as I can remember but I do not have a good dentist. Not that Ipoh has no dental clinics..i'm just afraid to try them because i've some bad experiences when I took the courage to do scaling or check-up at these dental clinics. Is there any good recommendations out there?

I've been going to Dr Wong in Gunung Rapat for the past few years. Although I'm not very satisfied with her service (quite rough when doing scaling), i've no choice but to continue visiting her. Dr Ong was a well-reputable dentist, but need to book appointment a month or two beforehand. Recently, the small slit between my two front teeth is getting wider and I desperately need to fix it before they get any wider.

But sad to say, there's only one experienced orthodontics here in Ipoh. Again, Dr Ong is a very busy doctor and it's hard to get an appointment. Anybody try Klinik Pergigian Ipoh? Do i need to wait a long time?

Special Valentine's Day

It was a special Valentines this year for me. Alas! I get my dream diamond ring! :D It wasn't a preplan proposal..it just happened that I was looking in the compartments of my darling's car. He said he's just waiting for the right moment..and tada! I found a little black box hidden underneath his sunglasses box. Put it back..thought i'm not supposed to see that. But he said..take it out..open it.. :D

it's a ring! And he proposed..guess what I answered? :P YES!

I couldn't wear it everyday though..as work does not allowed us to. Wish to wear it until our wedding day. It's a happy thing to share right? :D

Note: This post was left here as I thought it's still part of my life and would like to have it in my life journal. Things weren't going well..for more details, please go to this post! >>>> 2011 New Year Resolution
