Hui Chin, I think we need to make reservations - usually quite full. Let me know if we are bringing darlings or not yah.
I went to Louis Vuitton today and the bag I've been eyeing is $1350. So expensive!! I think I want to spend it on a holiday instead... hahahaha ... just because getting bonus this weekend.

Good morning Girls...
So how - 3 of us girls only again ah? Why don't we make reservation for 6 first then if we decide just us girls, then we can call again. Easier to book for a bigger party and reduce rather than the other way around.
Cuclainne, woah....that's a hefty price tag for a bag! I second your thoughts on going for a holiday instead.

Marnie, if book for 6 and no one else turns up, then bring darlings to make up the rest of the number .. just a suggestion though ..
nothing from the other ladies???
Ya lor ... so expensive. So hard to justify paying that amount though I really, really want the bag ... maybe I should just settle for a purse/ wallet. Dior and Gucci have cheaper bags though. Sigh ...
Yesterday was Ah Boy's birthday and we went to Top of the M for dinner. Very nice la .. pricey but food and service was good. We took the set meal but was very suprised to receive two starters and two desserts .. very very full.

Good Morning girls!!
Me back from MIA for so long. So many postings.. don't know where to start..
Cuclainne,
Congrats gurl!! A little princess coming soon! And the name so sweet.. Now it's time to go shopping for those cute dresses.
Heard that you're looking for branded bags? For LV - $1350 is somewhat quite cheap already.Their prices have been increasing for the past few years. I've got a small clutch bag which cost me $450 3-4 yrs ago, think now the price had increased to $650-$700. As for Gucci, Dior and other branded goods, it's the GSS now and some stores are having sale. I wld rather wait for sale period to buy other branded goods cos' the prices can slashed up to 50% off (kena 2x buy Coach handbag and the folowing week - sale 40% off. aiyo..hati sakit!!)
Don't think I can make it this Friday - we had guests at home since Monday.. arrghhh..

Ally, we've missed you ...
I saw some pretty dresses at Tangs yesterday - so frilly .. and pink!! Hahahaha. Then Ah Boy and I went to Guess kids to look at some clothes but we're still refraining ourselves from buying too many things which can be purchased later. Important things first - we still haven't bought a cot, stroller, etc ... yikes! Better get started soon...
Ah Boy bought a newly launched phone yesterday because his old phone is not working well (or at all!). Because he felt guilty for spending money on the phone even though it was a necessity, he's going to give me money to buy the bag. Yay! Well actually he told me that he'll give me the money but whether i decide to use it to buy the bag or not is left up to me. Decisions decisions. Yah lah, my colleague is a LV-hantu so she's been psychoing me to get one too .. she also said that it's more expensive now but since their prices are pretty much controlled, it might be more worth it to get it overseas.
Ya lor - I thought maybe I could get something from Gucci instead or Dior because have discount!!

Cuclainne,
understand completely how u felt.. When I got the news that my little one is a girl, I practically bought everything from the rack. Like wan to lepaskan geram like tat since my elder one is a boy. In fact, come to think of it, some of her clothes had never been worn b4.
Dun say about ur colleague, I was once an LV-hantu also. *k'ching!* Kena psycho by my cousin now i'm hooked!

Ally, can't wait to go shopping for some of her clothes this weekend. Ah Boy said I must control myself and only buy the clothes that are extra cute .. but so difficult leh, so far all the girls' clothes I've seen are soooooo pretty la!
My sister asked why I wanted one and I said it's because I don't own any branded items. She said I should ask Ah Boy for diamond instead. But when I asked him for Celestial Diamond, he said he don't want to make me cry like the girl in the commercial. Sianz la!! But he knows that I'm only saying la .. never follow through one.

Hey Chin & Cuclainne, sorry I had to cancel on our dinner on Friday. I was pretty much zonked out over the weekend recovering. Now Meraj is possibly coming under. Also possibly the fact that Australia lost to the cheat, play-acting, scheming Italians (okaylah..all that is referenced to that striker who tripped on his foot which resulted in that converted penalty). Hmmpppfff. Next game, it's GOOOO UKRAINE!
Chin, gosh....I love Da Paolo G! They have so much stuff to eat right? Sometimes I cheat and get the canapes/antipesto for our dinner parties (quite reasonable prices surprisingly).

No worries, Marnie. Hope you are feeling better. Ah Boy also fell ill over the weekend - aiyoh, it's worse than when I'm unwell. I basically want to sleep and be left alone when that happens but Ah Boy ah - can you get me some green tea, can you peel me some fruit, etc etc etc? But what to do - sayang punya pasal right .. hahahaha.. thankfully he's well now.
So who are you really supporting, England or Australia? I wanted to watch Sweden vs England (that was a draw) and they lost to Germany (boo hoo!). Oh well ...

Cuclainne: LoL..guess everyone's fallin sick these days! haha...me no hap Cable, so haven caught any games yet. haha...maybe as the final draws nearer i can catch some of the exciting games at Fi's house. hahaa

Cuclainne, I'm not a soccer follower (don't understand the game at all!) but cos' Meraj is so passionate about the Socceroos, I watched the games that Australia play in. I don't really support Australia in anything (except for the swim events at the Olympics!).
Now Rugby, it'll all be All Blacks!
Re. your hubby, aiye...Meraj is easier to handle when he's ill thankfully - he sleeps through it all.
Chin, I have all my Martha Stewart mags in the office. We should meet for lunch again sometime next week so that I can pass them off to you.

Hui Chin, are you sure you want to be 'sucked' into watching the games? Hahahaha... Lucky that Ah Boy is not into sports - my dad smsed me to tell me Sweden lost to Germany and he was like, oh ok! Hahahaha.
Ooh ooohh Ian Thorpe ... heheheheh! Yeah, I like All Blacks for rugby too though I have no idea what the rules are ... I just like swooning over the men, Marnie. Hahahaha...
Next week is ok with me ...

Aiye...busy busy as a bee....and I can see Cuclainne kept herself busy too! *wink*
Need an outlet to vent. Found out that even though I'm married and bought a flat (1st appointment is next week by the way - yeay!), only I can be listed as buyer and owner of flat cos' Meraj is not a citizen or PR. Nevermind that we're not taking the grants offered. Irritated as hell! So, in a gist, my husband is just put on the agreement just so that we are considered as a family unit and that'll allow us to get a flat - what totol utter bereaucratic crap! Bleh!

Muhahaaa...Cuclainne, no la! I just tot watch 'try' to watch an exciting game..haha..but duno i will start yawning after 15mins! hahaha...oh i'm used to it liao, Fi is a big soccer fan loh..haha...been thru 3 World Cups wif him liaoz! haha...time really flies..heh
Whoa...shopping for Lil' Peanut - must be very fun! haha...i'm sure u cant hhelp it but feel very tempted to buy every nice thing u see rite! Muahahaa
Marnie: Yea we should meet up next wk k! Maybe a Mon or tue lunch ok wif u? If u have any Malay bridal mags, can pass on to me oso? Now will need to decide my choice of traidtional bajus soon..haha..
Me having probs wif my BS - Z wedding Design. After signed up, the lady then told me they only have selected no. of baju melayu(which she claims it's not very nice), then ask me to go custom-make myself. Can tell me it's nicer somemore. Not Fair rite! We're paying for the 3k plus package (though it's inclusive of the PS) but still, at least supply me ONE set of baju melayu rite! I dun wanna go make a very exclusive set aredy & use one time, after the wedding, the baju will be dumped in the wardrobe cos it's too 'glam' to be used again. So irritating! I must meet up wif her soon to discuss this problem. If i rent from another malay bridal for one set of baju only, i'm sure it will cos alot rite! Help!!! Duno what to do. Do u think it's fair enuf for me to ask her to go outsource for at least one set of baju melayu for me?
Oh my! Very evil rite they all! Married still cannot put his name in.
But is Meraj applying for PR? Will need time to approve izzit? I tot if you marry a Singaporean will be easier to get a PR here. Me not sure abt how the things go abt here though..lol

Btw, i met up wif Putri Wedding last nite wif Fi and his mum. Saw her portfolio and all, seems to be quite good leh. Just abit concerned abt the food on the menu. I realise malay caterers seldom include Veges on their default menu! haha..tot wanna stick away from the usual nasi briyani, but i think it's a norm liaoz. Hahaha..so cant get away from that. Haha..i tried her cookies that were fresh from the oven - berry berry nice! muaahahaha...yummiess...heh...so once i've talked to my mum, think i will quickly sign up wif her soon. Scared she kena 'booked' aredy. heheh
Marnie, that is so strange. When me and my sister wanted to buy over our parents' flat, they actually included my brother-in-law's income even though we told them that he was not a PR. Don't know how they calculated also ..
Wah Hui Chin, how come your BS can tell you that? I think it's best that you talk it over with her and sort it out.
Yah lor ... nowadays my eyes hurt a lot leh, see many nice things but heart also pain because money 'flying' out of bank account. Sigh ...
Let me pass my magazines to you too yah!
