shopped...and goods arrived.

and the shopping did not end....with just the rings......

here are 3 purchases made waaaay earlier about one month ago, but they only arrived this week. talk about pre-order and groupon deals.

first up.....a set of baju kurung johor. gosh, i have no idea how baju kurung johor would turn out .....and now i know. i am not sure i am that into this southern style.

i ordered this when i was holidaying in australia. read the star online and found out that melinda looi was coming out with special raya collection. i have always wanted something from her and it was a good opportunity. the order for that collection was only opened for 3 days if i am not wrong and i did it right on the spot after reading the newspaper article.
failed at my attempt at ordering from her website, and finally resorted to zalora.

and so they finally shipped the clothes at the end of the month and within 2 days, i got mine.

the thing that drew me to the baju kurung was its colours and the patchwork with beads at the collar. that made it rather unique.

i ordered size s. the top as you can see from the picture above widens as it goes down to the knee. this is something new for me. i don't know why even for size s, the top is kinda loose even on the shoulder and armpit area but the bottom piece was quite narrow at the hip. can't they make it a bit more proportionate and widen the cutting at the hip?? or maybe my hip is the problem.
i don't need any alteration on the baju but i need to get used to the swaying piece of top which makes me think it is a bit loose, flared and makes me fat.

also, i feel that they could have used a better piece of cloth and give us better quality for the price we pay. i am not complaining about the prints on the cloth, just the quality of the material. there is so much ironing to do.

this is a picture of a model in the baju kurung. it looks slim on her as the extra cloth is hidden behind. well, if i don't flip the top too much, it does fall nicely and won't make me look like a balloon. but i think this is the last time i am buying baju kurung johor. i don't think i can get used to the looseness of the top.

item 2 is from groupon. buy 2 and get a cheaper price. so my friend and i got together and bought two- robot vacuum cleaner. we are plain lazy and any extra help is really appreciated.

i am charging my vacuum cleaner now. it needs 12 hours for the first charging and tomorrow, it will be put to test. hope it works and will keep my room clean. yup, that is where i am planning to keep it.
i won't need to bring the vacuum cleaner upstairs anymore. cheers to a cleaner room.

item no 3.......this i owe someone a deep gratitude. queueing from 1150p.m. till 7.30a.m. for mcdonalds to open in order to complete the set. i am really touched and can't wait to buy her a big dinner when she comes back from singapore.

mcdonalds singapore came up with this hello kitty in fairytale theme last month and it hit a frenzy when the last kitty was launched. it was the black one based on the singing bone fairytale.
i have never heard of the singing bone before but now i have. the black kitty were sold out even before the store opened as they issued numbers to those people in queue and one person was allowed to buy 4. my gal who queued for me did not queue at those 24-hour stores. phew. those who bought fro 24-hour stores had to start queueing at 6p.m.

i am glad it is over now. my dolls will be coming back in september.

malaysia will launch this in november and i will wait and see if the craze spreads over here. there are videos of people quarelling in the queues and police being called to control the crowd in singapore.

in hong kong's edition, there is another wise owl kitty which did not make its appearance in singapore's edition. i wonder if the owl will make its appearance in malaysia. well, if it does, you know where i will be when they launch it.....or i will start looking for people to help me get it.

this is just a random picture. i love the lights at the balcony of my colleague's house. she had her house-warming party earlier and the sunset background with the lighted lamps seem apt as i bid good night here.

tomorrow is another day.....to go to the field or not? that will be another story for another post.
