of wedding and shopping, local and abroad.

what a weekend it has been...but it was definitely a fun one. exhaustion came second to all the fun i had. heck, i won't even call it exhaustion, it was nothing but fun fun fun.
although the weekend started with going to work early in the morning, it lasted till today..hahah...it is extended because i got an mc for throat inflammation. i better rest my voice.here are the proofs...lozenge, painkiller and antibiotics. i ain't taking the anti-biotic...i will just practise caution and lower my voice. haha..the second part might be difficult because tomorrow have to go down to the field for sports practice. a loud voice is definitely necessary.

well, that is yet to come...so now let's have a recap of my weekend.

the house was quite a mess when i got home with bags everywhere. my sis, her hk friend, my aunt and my cousin's. there are bags in the store room, there are bags under the stairs, there are bags outside the rooms, there are bags inside the bedroom.
my sis, her friend and i made our way to kl only at 4 plus. the dinner was slated to start at 7p.m. we had a room booked at the hotel (federal). with some traffic congestion, we managed to check-in at 6p.m. and started getting ready.
we could not find our way to the banquet hall because we had no invitation card to refer to, luckily we met one of their friends in the lift.
this was the wedding of 2 kids i see growing up with my sister. gosh, i feel old amongst her friends. i needed my sis to jog my memories of who her friends are because most of them have changed...most of the guys put on weight. haha.
there were only 23 tables for guests and some of the tables were not even full. my table only sat 7 and shirley had actually forgot to invite my brother although she had put down his name on the guest list. dinner started at 8.30. well, kl time.

9 dishes served. the food was all right, not bad but not good either. all edible. my sis' guy friends all were downing the red wine like juice. i also had to down 1 glass....i escaped when they came 2 more rounds.
the dinner ended at around 11 plus but we lingered till almost midnight. as the night was still 'young' and it was a huge reunion gathering for my sis and her friends, the celebration continued at zouk (a disco in jalan ampang). we only arrived at zouk at 1a.m. and there were more than 30 of us. it was my first time there. we paid rm50 per head but the bride and groom had topped up another rm500 before everyone got the clearance to enter. i'm not sure what is the normal cover charge price. we only got 5 bottles of drinks. i saw on the bottle coupon that one bottle only entitles 4 persons per entrance...so i guess the guys must have negotiated their way in.
we went into trance music room. not the kind of music i can stand for a long time. the loud beat, the flashing lights and the smoke were killers.
i did not dance...well, i guess it is because i don't dance. plus the feet on heels were already a no-no for me, so i did not want to aggravate the weak sole (had a cramp while sleeping at the sole area after that).
drinks flow was very slow at our tables. most of the gals did not drink and they only stayed on the dance floor. we had 2 full bottles left. i think they are going again next week.
we called it a night when the place closed at 3a.m. no roti canai or teh tarik, everyone was really beat. so back to the hotel we went to get our rest.

we woke up at 10a.m. after having a really good rest. 3 of us slept like logs and we did not feel the fatigue when we woke up. phew!

after breakfast at one of the cafes in lowyat, we headed for klcc. shopping time. yee's friend enjoyed eating all the local dishes here. she had been eating nonstop since her arrival. later they are going to genting highlands and then tomorrow, she is flying to hk. so it is au revoir to katy after this from me.

aunt, yeelin and jiaen joined us at klcc only at two. by that time, katy, yee and i already had bags of goods in our hands. it was a day to work out those biceps and triceps at the mall. we were there till 8pm.
all our loot...clothes, books, face creams, 7 pairs of shoes, lingerie, and bag. katy had an enjoyable time because all the goods were cheaper than in aussie and hk. she got tonnes of kiehl's products and as many samples from the generous sale assistant. she also got a pair of heels for herself, another pair for her bf (lacoste) and a coat.
yee got 2 pairs of heels, clothes, necklace, belt, and cream.
aunt got her facial cream and many cook books for her friend. yeelin got a pair of boots, watch, and facial cream.
en got a pair of running shoes from asics. gosh....there were so many mizunos and asics on sale. next time must wait for isetan sale to get running shoes!!!
i got books and a pair of shoes.
my two books from kino. dunno when i will read them. been hoarding books. i also bought love, eat and pray last week from popular and yee brought a book back from aussie for me to read.
flat pumps for work...it is very comfortable but i will only wear them on the day my feet are not aching.
yeelin's boots which everyone loves!! 50% off. all our goods bought are on sale, except clothes from iora and facial stuff. but for facial and cosmetics, you will get rm10 cash voucher for every rm100 spent. so with the cash vouchers, yeelin got her watch for free. my isetan card also collected many many points on that day...hehehee...
katy in front of the twin towers. her lousy iphone had a bad day.

reached tm at 9 p.m. what a day of partying and shopping. no wonder i lost my voice and was croaking. the shouting to talk in zouk was the cause. one does not have to shout at the mall. haha....but today also provided a good rest. muahahaaa....i'm only working 3 days this week..hhhahaha....friday is another day off....going to penang. woohooo!!!!

ok...below is another loot which came back with aunt from germany and america. they are the 'investments' which made me cannot buy anymore bag this year. aunt said not only for this year...but for few year. sob sob sob....impossible.

first up, my be a bag from anya hindmarch. ordered from england, sent to germany...i got 10% discount for this too. i really never buy retail price. can you see me on the bag?? i used that bag yesterday and it was a talking point among the few sales assistants i talked to. haha...i even saw some whispering to their friends behind their bags. i felt pai seh to turn back. love all the leather inside and the silver handles. i love silver.
with love from america. 30% discount from bv boutique. i wanted the one in metallic gold but they only had this in the boutique. it was the last piece in the store. the sales assistant told yeelin that if no one was buying the purse on that day, she herself would buy it. love love love bv.
i want this!!!- excaimed yee when she saw it. yeelin has the big messenger of the same colour and range. this little sling is perfect for all the angpaus coming soon on cny. also the last one in the store.
last but not least, a burberry. only the handle and top are leather but the bag is very practical. love the checks and the colour. this was also the last one in the shop.another last piece in store, my toywatch. it is so light that it really fits the name toywatch. i got 15% discount for this because aunt's friend had the mall's card. so do i have popular choices or what??
swarovski bought online during sale...50% online. the ring was bought by aunt when she went shopping. it reminded her of the red pendant, so she bought it for me. you can find similar rings like mine in perlini silver now.
my souvenir from america from aunt. i love the colour. she told me she got it for 30USD. cheap huh? another shirt for the new year.

so i must not shop this year!!!i cannot!!! wanna save money for holidays now.

the clock has struck 3 so i better pack to go back to bidor now. the sky is kinda cloudy outside. have plan to go jogging at 5...hopefully it won't be ruin by rain. have to lose some weight and prepare some spare rooms for a foodie weekend in penang. if anyone has any recommendation of must have food in penang, do leave them in the comment box ya. it will be very very appreciated.
