ME-time!

I haven't abandoned this blog- the past few months have been hectic.. I had been writing beauty reviews for a lifestyle website, and on top of that work has been craaaaazy busy. I rarely saw my friends and was getting easily agitated from the lack of sleep.

But you know what, all that's changing TODAY because though I am at work this very moment, I will be flying off in a few hours to MELBOURNE! 

I usually pack 1-2 months ahead of my trips but this time? I did almost overnight *proud*.

Am very excited to see my little sister again and stroll the streets of Melbourne. 

10 TEN 10 days of r&r with the family. Life is good.

Will leave you with random pics of my trip to Melb back in May..

 MY HOLIDAY OFFICIALLY STARTS IN 30 MINS!!! 

Wheeeeeeeeeee~

Retail Therapy..

.. a day before I left for Melbourne,

 I only paid for the Chanel Concealer, the Aesop Primrose Mask and the Anna Sui Gel Moisturizer. The rest are freebies!

and in Melbourne,

MUST BUYS in Melb: ♥ Alannah Hill headbands, Peter Alexander PJs, delicious smelling body creams, Target opaque tights (LOVE this its great quality x value) and Garnier CleanSensitive Eye Make-Up Remover.

I realized I am buying less these days, counting every penny and thinking twice if it is something I need or just want. Can I wear this next season? Would I wear it more than once? Do I have something similar? I ended up saving so much that I could afford to splurge on a vintage LV (which looks totally new) ♥ 

It is time to throw out/donate some shoes again.. this trip, I brought back approximately 15 pairs of shoes. Only 3 are my sister's, 1 which I just bought and the rest were from when I left Melbourne in 2009. And after that, can you believe I STILL have stuff in my sister's apartment?

The whole week went by so fast, when I was taking my last shower it felt like I just landed. Holidays are much appreciated once you have to work and realize time is not at your disposal anymore. That said, I am happy to be home, though the heat is killing me and I can't wait for my next trip! 

Will update my activities for the whole week in the next post!

WishList ♥

I have a wishlist on my old blog.. and 90% of the things on that list, I actually still want this very day.

Today, I crossed two items off that list.. one can be bought with money while the other cant. It's been almost 2 years, and there really isn't anything I would add to that list.

I've finally ordered my copy of "Alice of Wonderland in Paris" after so long. I love cartoons like such- old, and musty yet there is a charm like it. I first watched it on late night telly during my travels and fell for Anatole's stories..

I just got back from a short trip to Melb with jagiBOY and 2 friends. I miss that place so much.. we took so many pictures for once I had to change my memory card! My sister and her boy were an absolute dear, they put us up for the entire trip- their home is lovelyyyyy. We ate, laughed, played WII & watched Korean shows almost nightly, ate some more, drank, caught up on 'current news' and shopped so much I had to sit on our luggage to try and shut it. By the end of the trip, I gained 5kgs SMH -_-"

♥ The original Jagi and SY..

For those who dont know, I've relocated back to Kuala Lumpur after spending almost 6 yrs there. Pictures to come soon (:

I'm having dinner tonight with a very old friend- its been so many years but something clicked a few nights ago.. we were both looking to contact each other- she was asking Jagi for my number while I was looking her up on FB. We're both not psychic, so I guess it means we're just in-tune with each other's thoughts? The only people I usually have this connection with is my sister, jagi, and jagiBOY.

The company I work for has everyone work alternate Saturdays so yeahh, this week kinda sucks cause I worked onThurs, then Fri was a PH (Public Holiday), I work this Sat, and Sun is the weekend. Geeeez.

Oh well, at least I got some reading done. Too many magazines stacking up on my desk! 2.5 more hours till I get to leave!!
