~*click*Let's Shop!!*click*~

Once I'm in, there's nothing can stop me!!! :P

I was suppose to update with another entry today but I'm soooo excited to share this with you!!!

*clears throat. okay.. firstly, if you are a hijabis and an avid blogger, I'm sure you have heard of this hijabis fashion blog called Hijab Revival right?

Anyway, I discovered this blog few weeks ago through a blogger while I was bloghopping. She is living in Australia and I really love her fashion sense.

She held this competition on designing her new header for the blog and... well, me being a very competetive person as usual, I sent out my entries :P

and guess what? I've won!!!!!!!!!!  (^_^)

and here is my winning entry :

This is my 1st trial using AI. I guess it really paid off :)

What will I get? 

hehehe.. This!!!

I soooo can't waitt for it!!!!!!!! :D

Have a nice day!!!

Spongebob and me, we've got 1 thing in common!

This photo was taken this morning right before I went to work. He has 2 front teeth now.Sama tak macam spongebob? hehehe...

But he's at home now. With me. Had an 'accident' at the nursery but nothing major. He's okay now. Fast asleep. This is the time when bumps and bruises occured. Poor baby. Luckily tomorrow is public holiday. Cuti panjang you. :) I'm going back to Alor Setar of course. Need to do some last minute shopping before raya.

What's your plan on this long weekend?

Iftar at 160m above the sky!

We've been here few times for our iftar during the ramadhans. The food was ok. Plenty of menu to choose from but most of it are locals. The only unique experience dining here is the rotating restaurant up above. (is it called rotating? restoran berputar?)

Anyway, I was a bit dizzy at 1st because the dining deck keep rotating and I keep end up at the other part of the restaurant.

So we had another iftar at this tower last week and to celebrate my niece's 4th birthday.

The Menara Telekom Alor Setar

Both photo above were taken last year. We manages to get plenty of food before breaking fast sebab tak ramai sangat orang at that time.

and this photo onwards taken last weekend. That's Hariz and his tok abah. His 2nd time here. The 1st time was when he's still in my womb. Still counts right? :P

                       The food 'stall'              Abah's favourite 'kambing golek'

The princess blowing her 4th year candle

Hariz hates everything we put on his head. Be it cap, songkok, semua dia buang.

I didn't eat that much because ramai sangat orang and the food habis cepat. *sigh. macam tak puas je makan. I did have roti jala sampai 6 keping :P

The buka puasa is RM44 per pax. 50% off for RHB credit card holder.sorry salah info. it's AMBANK credit card holder .

Currently the tower is undergoing major renovations but didn't effect the restaurant at all. Should go here if you ever in town. Never tried the restaurant during normal days. You could just go up to the viewing deck too. You can even see Langkawi from up there :P

Elianto's beauty product and a story behind the missing palette

I was looking for a make up brush set the other day because my old ones is missing. I may have misplaced is somewhere when we were moving. *sigh. I love Beautilicious brushes so much and it's really worth it for only RM49! Now I couldn't find the same one at any Watson's. Raya is closer and I need the make up brushes pronto! (mind you I'm a sucker for a bargain. To me, good stuff + cheaper price = happy me! call me kedekut taik idung masin but that's me! :P

Anyway, about this Elianto. Well I've been their fan since few years ago. I started to love their eye shadows' palette (you know the rounded one?) that cost RM5-6 per colour? So I already had a few, in loose and just bought the casing few weeks back.

All together, this is what my catch from Elianto this month.

• Make up brush set
• Lip gloss
• Eyeliner sharpener
• Eye shadow's empty pallet

This brush set came with 2 sponges so you can like, use it with make up or powder.

1 set consists of 5 brushes : Lips, blusher, eyeshodows and err.. 2 more eyeshadows.

Actually there's a story behind this eye shadow's palette. You see, the eyeshadow were sold loose, one colour for RM5-6 right? So 3 weeks ago, I bought this palette, empty one (well they don't sell ones with eyeshadows) for RM14 I think. I can't remember exactly how much it costs. I bought it in Jusco, Midvalley. 

At that time, I was purchasing this palette and 1 eyeshadow and the promoter requested for me to pay at the counter first before taking the item. But when I returned after the payment. she somehow had misplaced my item and took another one from the display. I just checked the 1 eyeshadow I purchased to make sure it was the right colour  and didn't bother to check for the palette because obviously I've paid for empty ones.

But not until 1 week ago, when I finally had the time to take out the palette and decided to put my loose eyeshadow in it, to my surprise, the palette was not empty! There were 3 eyeshadow in it and I love them colours! I know they are not mine but it's not my fault that the promoter messed up the item right? I guess it's her loss my gain :) and I'm here in Penang! How on earth I could go back to KL just to return that? 

I haven't use it anyway. But it's totally fine right? (why am I feeling this guilt?) because technically, it's not mine. *sigh.

p/s : on another note, after few hours writing this entry, I've found my Beautilicious make up brushes! So I don't think I will be using this Elianto's. Maybe I would give it away huh? :D

Steam Promfret (Bawal Steam)

Finally last week I managed to cook on my own the Steam Promfret. Luckily my mom dropped by our home the day before and I wrote me these recipe. It really is a piece of cake! I can't believe I was able to do it! (even baking a cake is harder) :P

This piece of paper is like a masterpiece. Never loose it! :P

It's kinda hard to find this particular fish here in Seberang Jaya. I don't know Pulau Pinang. So this fish was brought by my mom all the way from Alor Setar okeh :P

Anyway.. this is how to prepare this steam prom-fret my way (well, my mom's way) :P

Ingredients :

• 1 medium size steam prom-fret (preferably bawal emas/white prom-fret)
• carrots, tomato, lemongrass (serai), celery, spring onion (daun bawang/sup) - for decorations
• 7 cloves of garlic (bawang putih)
• 1 inch of ginger (halia lebih kurang besar ibu jari )
• 1 tsb of black pepper (if you like it spicy, add more)
• pinch of salt & sugar 
• tamarind (asam jawa) to remove the smell  
• 1 tsbp of oyster sauce

Preparation :

• Clean fish of all innards and cut slits onto the body of the fish. spread asam jawa all over the fish.put aside
• crushed all items highlighted all together (i used the traditional lesung batu for this :P) .
• spread the crushed items all over and leave some inside the fish.
• put lemongrass, carrots,  spring onion & tomato on the fish
• pour a bit of water into the container. Just a bit okay?. Say enough to cover half of the fish.
• leave it for approx.10 minutes (marinate)

To cook :

• I used microwave to steam the fish. It's so much easier and so does my mom! :P
• for the steamer, I used one of this corningware to steam the fish. If you don't have this, do not fret. You can used any container that is microwavable ;)

• Set the microwave with medium-high. In my case, there's an setting button for steam fish. Says there medium-high for steaming and approx 10 minutes. (sekejap je kan?

• 
  
  make sure the container must be closed!

and voila!! I give you the steam prom-fret!!!

Okay, I'm not much of a recipe writing person :P

So if you find this a bit confusing, let me know :D

Good luck!

What's teething and food have anything to do with this entry?

Nothing and everything! :P

Okay I'm so high with sugar now so bear with me.

I admit that I never seldom cook since before I was married. I had no urge to cook and no one to cook for. and when I was single, cooking to me, was such a waste. You see, I will spend half of my day cooking, few seconds eating and later the dishes! Why the hassle if I could just eat out right?

and when Wan 1st came to my house to ask my hand in marriage (cewahh), my mom awal-awal bagitau wan & his mom that I don't really know how to cook! lmao! malu okeh. heee.. but we're married now and I can cook!!!! not perfectly but good enough to savour wan's appetite :)

Steam promfret

Mixed veggie with oyster sauce

udang masak merah

Yes I know they are all simple cooking and budak darjah 6 pon boleh masak. hehehe.. but I did it anyway :) Tak termasuk yang bakar-bakar lagi ooooo.. :P

On another note, Hariz, 10 months and 2 weeks , started teething sometime last 4 days. He's been crackier than before and the teeth actually 1 saje! mane satu lagi?? tak hensem la raya nanti gigi satu je :P

Speaking of raya, Hariz sudah ade baju raya! It's maroon. So I have to find something similar (what? belom ade baju raye?) yeah.. *sigh* kena beli yang ready made je. Nak tempah tak sempat dah. Huhuhuhu..

Hariz buah hati pengarang jantung ku (seriously, I don't really know what that means) :P

Have a nice day!!!

I don't think I could go on living like this...

I went for a grocery shopping with wan during lunchtime. Need to stock up a few stuff lacking at home and to prepare Hariz's meal (I've been having a hard time feeding him this past 3 days) Tak tau la apa tak kena. Nak makan burger kot.

Anyway, while we were strolling the (junk) food aisle, I had this sudden crave for this!

Mine black forest and hazelnut for wan :P

I don't know whether I could go on through out the day...or maybe I'll just go nuts!

chocolate... I likeeee....

me and the chocolates!

chocolates and me! again!

oh baby you're mine tonight... *hugs*

Okay. Enough goofing around. Back to work! :P

annnnd another contest I have won!! yeay me!!!

I entered another contest the other day. 

Ever since I've won 2 contests organized by bloggers online, I just can't help myself but to enter more and try my luck. Just to see whether or not I'm qualified for contests :P

This time the contest was not mummy being pregnant :P, but to complete a slogan. It's a contest organized by Purpleplum Store. 

Purpleplum Store is an online shopping heaven for those who loves good bargains and ... hear this, they also offering Chanel, LV, Gucci you name it at an even lower price! (That explains how I came across this e-shop at first place :P)

 photo from purpleplum store's blog

Anyway, back to the contest, I didn't win the 1st price which is Harrods shopper bag! PS promised prizes for 1st to 3rd place but they were so kind enough to throw another mystery gifts for those who had joined the contest! How cool is that! Wanna know what did I get?

Awesome fridge magnet!!!!! And it says London!!!
and I've never even been to London before!!!! yeayyy!!!!

and with this gift, I can add to my so-called fridge magnets collection....!!

2 years ago on this date, we got married..

Today marked our 2nd year Anniversary. (This post meant to be yesterday 15/08 but stuck in the draft overnight :P)

and after 2 years, Hariz came into our life almost 10 months ago. 

We didn't manage to celebrate our 2nd anniversary though which is okay because we had a blast on our 1st anny last year :)

To my dear husband, Happy 2nd Anniversary to us.

May our life fill with love and joy and definitely more 'Hariz' to come :)

What did I wear today?

This is not a fashion blog. Well, not entirely.

It happens that I ran out of idea on what to blog so I blogged about what I wore today! :D

Actually it's not really today. This photo was taken yesterday. I was thinking of updating it sometime later this week because I just blogged about an outfit on my previous post but I guess it won't hurt :P

I bought the kurta online and I'm loving it! I love the colours and cuts.

I didn't wear any make up pon in this photo. Saje edit bagi nampak pakai eyeshadow :P

omg... my legs look pretty skinny! dem.

I tucked my shawl inside of my top because of these gorgeous details on the neckline. Love it!

Check out their site. More designs and style for you to choose from :)

Celebrating Ramadhan in style

Forgive me for the title :P

So Ramadhan is here again. Feels like yesterday we were celebrating ramadhan when I was pregnant with Hariz. I didn't make it the whole 30 days unfortunately. I missed out 7 days to be exact because Hariz can't stand the hunger I guess :P

Wan and me are 2of those people who don't really sahur. We just woke up drinking plain water and kurma. As for me, I skipped the meal for sahur as it will only make me hungrier on the day. I've tried that before. I really need an explanation to this.Tsk.

Anyway, when I woke up this morning, I decided to put on my maxi dress and the new shoes I bought the other day. 

What? Did  say new shoes? No I didn't. :P

I think I'm gonna start wearing more skirts & maxis especially during this ramadhan and so forth :)

I have massive collections of maxis bought when I was pregnant with Hariz. and hear this, ALL of them were purchased online!! See how fanatic I am on online shopping? *shaking head

And the shoes, well I can't buy the shoes online.Tsk. So unfortunate. Bought it at this shop in Perangin Mall, Penang. I think they bought it from one of the Korean Spree because I swear I've seen it online before. It's size 9 by the way. Slightly tight but it's expandable! Lucky me!

Happy Ramadhan guys!

Little rascal

Hariz just reached 10 months old 5 days ago, weigh 9.5kg and just had his 1st previnar jab on Sunday. (this is a note to myself :))

Anyway, we bought him this pool of balls a few weeks ago. He was thrilled with the balls and can't get it out of his mouth. We tried to keep him IN the pool but he insist to just play outside. 

I would say he gets bored quickly with one toys and in the end, stick with remote control, hand phone, torchlight and pc mouse.

Bought this pool together with the pool at Tesco for RM29++ or was it RM30++?

Yup. This little fella can sit alright.

Hariz and abah having a ball in the living

He's been drooling a lot these days. Teething perhaps?

 My little rascal.I love you.

The little shopaholic in me

I started reading this Shopaholic series when I was doing my degree. or was it matriculation? or high school?

Anyway, I love Sophie's way of writing and as if I could relate myself to this so-called shopaholic. 

I have read all the shopaholic series and the stand-alone books and I must admit, I finished the entire series faster than I read the newspaper :P

image from here

I love each and every one of the book and always looking forward to something new from Sophie Kinsella.

And today, I just received an email from MPH and to my awed, Sophie is releasing a new shopaholic book!!

It's Mini Shopaholic!!

I bet it's about her daughter becoming a shopaholic too :P

I'm not sure wether this book is already in-store because it says here for' pre-order'.

No matter what, I must definitely get this book!!!!

Carry or not to carry?

Hariz is 10 months old today (happy 10 months old sayang).

His milestone until today is crawl dengan laju nyer and climbing while holding onto things.

anddd.... no teeth. I mean at all! :P

He is 9kg weigh and most of the time, he likes to be carry rather than stay in the stroller.

I don't know when until he could walk, but for time being, I think I need another carrier so I could carry him without my arms being sore.

I've been eyeing for this softstructured carrier (SSC) for quite sometime. (we had Baby Bjorn but hariz has outgrown it).

 photos from here

Hariz can use it until he is big enough and he don't want to be carried :P

and it's kinda easier for us if we are going to buy groceries at Tesco or Carrefour because mind you, strolley+trolley+ huge crowds = crying baby + mom :P

What do you guys think? Should I or should I not?

Little me inside says 'go for it!' :P

It cost only less than RM200 ...

Thinking.. thinking...

Looking for a Bumbo Seat?

This is an unpaid ad ya :P Just got it in my email this morning. Maybe it's a bargain for those looking for a bumbo seat.

Just helping out whoever looking for one :)

Have a nice day!

If you can't fit the shoes, well, try harder! :P

It's been awhile since I update this blog with the tall tale of my shoes collections :P

I love shoes and I love shoe shopping, shoe hunting or whatever you may call it.

Even though my size is not an average size for a women (does this mean I have men foot??!!) dang!, I will always find reasons to shop for shoes.

So last Friday, I went shopping at Gurney Plaza since it's the nearest to my office. Friday has been my favorite shopping day eventhough I had very minimal time to buy everything but it's good enough for me as I had time for myself without Hariz tagging along. 

I went to Parkson, browse for the shoes at the Ladies department. I love sandal & wedges. I has to be wedge. I can't wear heels because I think I can't really balance myself on it. HUhuhu..

Anyways, while in search for the perfect sandal I saw one on the display and quickly ask for the size. My usual questions will be 

" ader size 9? Or the biggest " :P

I was lucky they had size 9. Unfortunately, it's a tad smaller for my feet but I don't care. I love it! It perfectly covers my toes and feet yang penuh dengan urat ituuuu :P

hariz : ayoo mamaa.. kasut baru lagii??

I love it!

see the behind ? slightly smaller for my feet but what the heck!

It's from SACHS and the price was RM70++ before less and I only paid RM58.90 for it!!! What a bargain!!! Rasa macam nak beli satu lagi :P

*a note to dear anon that this left a massage here asking whether it is suitable for pregnant women, I would say, not quite because I just realize the base of the shoes is a bit slippery when in contact with water.
